    How to convice band member to get rid of a terrible singer?

    So we have, quite frankly, an absolutely shite singer. He doesn't learn lyrics, so he isn't singing for half a song during a gig, sing right out of key, stand in front of the mic like a statue and take the whole band as some sort of joke. He's not committed at all, and somehow I'm the only one...

    A Rex Brown Query...

    First of all, may I ask you to excuse the fanboyism :D Floods is probably my favourite Pantera song I've heard. And a big part of why I like it is that monstorous tone Rex gets during the guitar solo. It's like an earthquake! Trouble I don't know how he obtains it. I'd expect a good part of...

    Eden Nemesis?

    Once I get my Spector fixed, I'll be saving up for a new rig. I would be using it for small/medium sized gigs and band practice. I have a Renault Megane at hand, so transport isn't really a problem. I've been particularly interested in Eden lately, more specifically the Nemesis EN400 and...

    Pre + Power Amp Combo?

    I've started toying with the idea of making a giggable rig consisting of a power and pre amp instead of your average bass amp head. I've been thinking about it because: 1. It would be cheaper 2. It would offer a little more versatility Obviously I'd need a cab to go with it, which will...

    Ti Jazz Rounds

    I'm trying to find the right set of strings for my Spector. So far I've used Dean Markley Blue Steels and D'addario Pro Steels. I'm looking for a set that is low tension, good for detuning down to D standard, is really bright and would keep it's brightness for a loooooooong time (that's probably...

    Regarding a particluar Bass Player article...

    I'm looking for a particular article from an issue of Bass Player (as if you couldn't tell). I can't remember which issue exactly, but was from around mid 2008. It's about Rex Brown, and was the cover story. Would anyone be so kind as to send me a link where I can view the article, scan the...

    2x18?

    So I've got the chance to play through a 200 watt Marshall head and a 2x18 cab next week for a gig. What type of tine could I expect from the setup? I know that the lower frequencies would be overpowering, but that can be cured by cutting the lows a little bit. Thanks in advance, and if this...

    Hartke LH500?

    Does anyone have any info on these? I know that it's part of the Hydrive range, but that's about it. Also, I'm thinking about buying it, but have never owned an amp with tubes before, how often would I need to replace tubes? And is there any other info I would need to know about owning a tube...

    Need some new metal to listen to.

    So I've become a little bored recently with my music library. Partly due to the fact that my Itunes has stopped working, and has deleted my library of 13 days worth of music along with it :crying: I've been trying to branch out into a little more metal recently. I'm a fairly big metal head to...

    Problem with my Amp...

    So my amp has been playing up for a while now. It's hard to explain, but whenever I knock the lead in a certain way a really loud noise comes out of the amp, its almost like feedback but not quite. It's like the sound you get when you unplug the lead from the bass and touch it with your finger...

    Thinking About Bi Amping

    So when I get more money and start playing fairly large gigs I might start venturing into bi amping. I'm thinking of having one stack of 15's or 18's and the other with two 4x10s or a 8x10. What I want to know is, how would I do this? I've heard before that you can do it with something like the...

    Peavey/Ashdown combo?

    So I'm pretty much set on my next amp, a Peavey Tour 450. The cab I'm thinking of pairing it up with is the Ashdown MAG 410T, and I maybe adding the matching 1x15 later on. My question is is that if you have played a Peavey/Ashdown combination, do they compliment each other and what did it sound...

    Any Peavey users here?

    So I'm going into town tomorrow with a few friends, and I've been looking for a new rig. I've tried a Markbass little mark 250 and loved it, but they also have the Peavey Tour 450 and 700. What I'm asking is if you own a Peavey amp, what are they like to live with?
