Has anyone got any experience with Kustom Groove 310C Bass Combo Amp? I'm thinking of getting one, but wanted some player input.

I'm standing at the verge of getting it on with a Fender fiver. Any advice re P or J?

What's the difference between the NYC & Metro?

What kind of strings do you use & what type of rig do you have? I use heavy gauge Rotosound flats thru a Yorkville 200 watt 1 x 15 combo with a Hartke 2 x 10 extension speaker. I am loving the tone but I'm thinking I need more watts for more headroom.

I know you guys are extremely busy with more important matters, but can you find it within yourselves to answer a few questions fer me? I'm beginning to feel guilty by nodding knowingly whenever these terms come up: 1) what does GAS stand for? - go ahead LAUGH! 2) what is meant by 'dry'...

I recently took possession of an '08 Highway 1 jazz. I don't know if anybody else has one that plays very bright. Mine was so bright I hardly ever used the bridge pup. It came with Fender round mediums on it. I switched to Rotosound Jazz Bass 77 heavy gauge flats and solved everything...

I'm finding my H1 Jazz to be on the bright side with the Baddass & stock Fender rounds on it. Using flats is my obvious option - wondering about any feedback from H1 players...

The worst room I ever played in was in a fly-in community in Northern Ontario. Population:yes. It was a party. We played in the community centre. The stage was huge and made of plywood, so were the walls and the floor. And the ceiling. The room was HUGE and the resulting acoustics were THE...

I am considering getting a V and really like the vibe of a T'Bird. Any owner reviews and/or opinions?

Besides being big and shiny, what does a Bad Ass bridge do to/for a bass that's any different from a regular bridge? I have a '08 Highway Jazz with a Bad Ass II, and I find the sustain goes on and on and on....is it supposed to help in the tonal department - or what? Any opinions?

No Good Dirty Shame by Carey Bell and Ain't No Cuttin' Loose by James Cotton are two of my favorites. What about youse?? This has probably been discussed before, but I'm not on here every day, so please humor me. :hiding:

What's your next bass? Mine's a fiver...make & model yet to be decided. :bassist:

The gig has been advertized for weeks. There's an email buzz, not many blues acts around here so we always get a crowd. I'm getting phone calls, people are coming down. Cool. :hyper: We spent this afternoon taking time off work to set up. Gig starts at 8:30. 6:PM I get a call from the...

Anybody know anything about them? I would like to try them but I would like some feedback first. What are they called? Have you used them? I saw a guy using them at a festival a few weeks ago, they look cool, but to me the G & D strings kinda went away where the E & A were very much there...

HOW TO SING THE BLUES (attributed to Memphis Earlene Gray with help from Uncle Plunky) 1. Most blues begin "woke up this morning." 2. "I got a good woman" is a bad way to begin the blues, unless you stick something nasty in the next line: I got a good woman-- with the meanest dog in town...

Anybody got anything to say (good or bad) about the Highway One J ? I'm upgrading from a Squire & would appreciate any input. Thanks gang.

Is there a noticeable dif between a Squire J & MIM Fender J?

I'm in Northern Ontario, no big centres not many big venues, mostly your average size bar - 100 to 200 people. Lotsa mosquitoes. All the bars pay $60.00 to $85.00 per man per night. A party or other special gig will pay a lot more. For instance our four piece is getting $1000.00 + rooms +...

Myself & the drummer stay sober at the gig. I allow myself a bud around midnight. The front man & guitard smoke their brains out and or drink like a lot. Front man says it loosens him up so he can perform & the crowd digs it. This of course, is all in his mind. He gets loose alright, but...

In our band we have a policy where if one person does not like the tune we don't do it. That works awesome for me (it was my idea) because no more being bored to distraction playing miserable root note tunes ALL FRIGGIN' NIGHT. So I get to play stuff with lines that keep me happy. And we...

Had to fire the drummer last week. Not his fault, but he physically could not handle the job. Bad back leading to good drugs, leading to bad meter & bad memory. Slowed down songs, forgot beginnings, stops, breaks,rolls, etc., etc..we had no choice. He is taking it badly, & blaming...

Hey. Anybody ever have their left arm seize up & turn to stone after a song or two? I have - not fun. I'm pretty sure it's because of not warming up before hand. Any warm up tips?

"Lowdown Dirty Shame" By Carey Bell is my fav tune of the night - just a lotta fun to play. What's yours? If I knew how to post the tune on here I would...if somebody else can it would be great, this bass line fun!

Our bands policy for drunk strangers who want to play a tune or two is "It's against band policy". Unless your name is Eric Clapton or Buddy Guy or something, THEN NO PROBLEM, please be our guest! How do you handle these bozos?

Any body know about Lakeland P basses? Anybody got a pic? Would appreciate some 411. Thanks.

I posted this on the "5 string thing" but I think it deserves its own thread. Speaking of pickups...I hardly EVER use the bridge pickup on the J or P . I find I get enough crunch when I need it with just the tone - relying on my amp settings (Yorkville 200 watt/15 + Hartge 2 10 ex cab)...

After decades of resistance (Fender J Freak) I have succumbed to the nagging curiosity & finally given in to the 5 string impulse. I'm considering starting inexpensive (on the Rez we call it cheap) & going with a Schecter 5. Heard only good things about the Schecter. Any advice and or...
