Is it wrong to be pissed off about being handed a list of 30 songs and a “dream set” list from the guitar player with no input from the rest of the band and told this is what we should be doing? The drummer/band leader piped in agreeing with him saying “this will open up so many more avenues...

It seems there are plenty of negative posts about manufactures, effects, service, etc. Anyone else had a great interaction with an effects manufacturer lately?? Let me tell you about mine: I bought a used Rane DC24 unit from Guitar Center, the unit works fine but was missing a few knob...

Does anyone have any information on an aftermarket bridge that would be a direct replacement for a stock BC Rich Beast bass bridge?? I purchased a used Beast but the saddles fall out of the bridge when I replace the strings, not sure if this is normal for this model. In fact, one popped out at...

I have a question about an issue building in our band. We recently reacquired our old singer, replaced a drummer & for the past 2 months have been learning some new material, not a bad thing. But here is my issue. We have been offered up 2 gigs, one this weekend & one next weekend. In both...

I happened upon an ad on CL looking for a bass in a band, it interested me. But what insued afterwards was mind boggling. Do people really read their responses and how they come across to the general public?? Here is the response I got:

I have a quick question with maybe a not so easy answer. I found part of a thread on this subject but the link was outdated & broken. Situation: My band (a 100% cover band) has recorded a demo CD of songs from various artists. We then compiled snipets of selected songs to creat a demo...

Check out this link to Craigslist. Sad to say but it does describe a fair portion of sellers out there!!! [Invalid or Expired Link Removed]

This isn't really covered from what I've seen, I'm just curious if I should reconfigure my chain or not. Currently my signal chain is: Wireless -> GT-6B -> Peavey Tour 700 ->Alesis 3630 in the effects loop -> Tour 700. Just wondering if I should reconfigure so that the signal is as...

Does anyone else out there have this same issue, too much bottom end? I work with a sound guy that says the bass sounds like mud & he thins it up to the point that I sound like I'm playing thru tin cans. My current set up: Epi T-bird or BC Rich Warlock ->3630 Compressor -> Alesis...

Back in February, my Peavey Tour 700 kept clipping & got to the point that there was a permanent buzz in the speakers. At the time I was playing thru my 1-15 cab. I took the amp home & tested it on my 4-10 ... same issue. So I called GC to see who does repairs & got in touch with a guy highly...

Can any one shed some light on this rack unit from Audio Logic? I have the chance to buy the MT66 or the Alesis 3630 for the same price. However, after reading Bongomania's review of the 3630 I'm not sure I want to get that unit. Just asking for experiences & opinions on the MT66 before I...

I've looked in the forum but didn't see anything that related to my question. I just purchased a rack mounted tuner and have the opportunity to redo my effects chain. I have a Behringer Bass compressor pedal (looking to replace it) which is the only effect I have in my chain. My amp has an...

This past Saturday night, I was out with the little lady celebrating her B-day. We went to see a band I had auditioned with several months prior. I only because I knew the singer & he'd have fun embarassing my wife. Anywho, singer dude asked if I wanted to come up & play a song. I said...

A little background, we are a cover band trying to scratch out an existence in our area. We have 2 guitarists, a bassist, drummer & a singer (who currently is running the board). We are playing for betwen $400 & $500 a night and are trying to keep costs down. To that end, the singer bought a...

I originally posted this in the bass forum by mistake, so I'm reposting in the pickups & electronics since that is the nature of the problem. HELP!!! I have an issue with my BC Rich Warlock. Intermittenly when I play, it sounds like I've got a blown speaker. I actually almost took my amp &...

HELP!!! I have an issue with my BC Rich Warlock. Intermittenly when I play, it sounds like I've got a blown speaker. I actually almost took my amp & cabs into GC to be checked out. My drummer for a side project noticed it during practice a couple of weeks ago over top of his drums & the rest...

Any one care to share stories of over jealous ogres claiming that any & all band business is conducted thru them?? In my case it is someone picking out the music in the set lists, taking care of the booking & PA rental, hiring & firing of band members, etc. Sweet arrangement ... if it really...

Here's the story, I'm in a band not really playing with them yet. The old bassist was finishing out his last gig with the band this weekend before I took over. We all get along & he & I have traded off sets in the past, etc. Well Friday night went well, but the singer was obviously sick and...

Anyone have or know where to get the tab for Van Halen's On Fire from their first album?? Thx

I have an Epi Thunderbird & a BC Rich Warlock NJ series. I'm looking for cases or gig bags for each but am having no luck on Guitar Center or Muscian's Friend. Can anyone give me any recommendations?? The Warlock is about 51" from tail to head stock & about 49" for the 'bird. Everything I...
