Somehow, I managed to convince my 14-year-old son to take up the bass again. He used to play Nirvana covers with his younger brother about 4 years ago. :thu: Anyway, I got him started learning Rush's "Anthem" from 1975, and he's hooked. Loves the song and the challenge of learning a fairly...

I'm hoping this is the right place to post links to YouTube videos. If not, cut me some slack and I'll PM a Mod to find the right place. Here's a video of my 11 year old son with his 1st busking experience at the Seattle Center this weekend. We were there for the Folklife festival. He brought...

I really, REALLY want to get one of these, but they just don't seem like a good value. At $229, this is actually *more* than I paid for my Roland Cube 30 Bass amp 3 years ago. What's your opinion on the Invalid Link Removed? I played one at GC about 6 months ago, and I really liked it for...

I'm looking for a solid fuzz pedal that can do double-duty as a bass fuzz and a guitar fuzz. The 3 pedals I'm currently considering are the MI Audio G.I. Fuzz (silicon), the MI Audio Neo Fuzz (germanium) and the "Fuzz Face Almost Complete Kit" from GGG (either silicon or germanium depending...

Here's a mini-Restoration thread I've been posting here and there of a vintage ProCo RAT I recently purchased. The RAT was one of the "bassline" pedals that defined Nirvana's tone in the early days. It was Novoselic's favorite pedal by a mile, and Cobain also used one in addition to his trusty...

I ran into someone tonight where my 3 kids take karate lessons, and he said: "Hey are you the guy who started the IKEA Gorm pedalboard thread? I recognized your alias. Someone posted a link to it on TalkBass!" Since I've also been a member on this site for a while, I figured I might as well...

Can I build a 2x12 cab with 8-ohm speakers that can also work as a 4-ohm cab if I run the speakers in parallel? Is this switchable?

This weekend, I'll be checking out a used Ampeg BA-112. I'm looking to upgrade to a name-brand amp with a little more punch than my current Roland Cube 30 bass modeling amp. The Roland Cube 30 bass amp is a great practice amp at home, but when my boys recently used it to perform at their...

I'll be looking at a used Ampeg BA-112 amp this weekend. The seller claims it's a rarely used 112 that he's had for 3 or 4 years. He gave up playing a couple of years ago and hasn't touched the amp since then. Anyway, is there an easy way to tell whether this amp is a red-white-and-blue...

Well, my two boys (ages 9 & 10) have been practicing since March, and on Friday they finally got their "Two Minutes of Fame". They covered Nirvana's "Smells Like Teen Spirit" at their elementay school's annual talent show. The boys only got 1:50 or so to do their thang (keep in mind this song...
