Here we go again... Tralala lala I'm walking on the sidewalk on a colder than usual Chicago day. I see from afar a toddler riding his tricycle. Falling leaves, winter is coming. As I walk towards the kid I hear the trees creaking, pretty normal for a windy day. I am getting closer to...

Hi all, I am looking for bass tabs for Jazz such as Miles, Mingus, Charlie Parker, Brubeck or that sort of thing. I got all Pastorius' bass tabs but since I have not been able to "walk" in the bass I can't come up with a lot of Jazz tunes just by ear. Looking for an easy approach and...

Went to a bar the other day. There was a band there gigging something similar to Bela Fleck. I mean it was friggin astounding. The bass player played just like Wooten. I was like woow dude. Then I realized, hey these people are really young. They almost look like teenagers. In fact...

Calls me and tells me he is going to show the apartment in an hour. As far as I am concerned that is not legal, he has to give me a 24 hrs notice. Even though I let him. He comes with a "realtor", let's call it the "fake realtor". They go around looking at the place. Later...

The handyman comes and does an awful job fixing a sink in the bathroom. Then I tell him he left everything dirty, says that's not his job. The painter comes and does an awful job painting, didn't tape and painted some of the floor. I tell him and said I didn't ask him to tape and that he...

I often feel like someone is blowing over my ear, or a sensation of sticking a feather into my ear. I look around and is not a mosquito, a spiderweb, dust or some jerk messing up with me. Sometimes my dog stares into empty space for no reason, I try to see what he is looking at, but there...

I got offered to play cover songs with different lyrics, written by the singer. Play them live. Maybe produce a record. Say for example "I'm a creep" by Radiohead, with some other lyrics but same music, maybe changing the tempo or different style, say reggae. Would I get sued or do I...

Just wondering... Sometimes I get bored so I read TB. When I am bored of Perezhilton I end up at TB. Sometimes my minds goes off whatever I am doing and end up here browsing through posts for like an hour every day. Sometimes 2.

I sold this amp this week. Most that I see on classifieds is Little Mark II for sale. A lot of people must have bought this for a reason and don't want it anymore. I bought it because of size. Didn't see anything wrong about the amp that made me sell it. Just needed the $ What's your...

I got this gig with a cover band. Played to about 50 people, supposedly to be all fans. When show was over, promoter says we have to pay up to cover his share. Band leader says his share was covered up to the 10th fan. That he should be paying the band for the 40 fans. Blabla arguing...

Remember The Incredibles at the beginning of the movie, when Mr Incredible jumps to rescue a guy who is jumping off a building. Then the guy sues him because he didn't want to be rescued, instead he broke his neck and sues him. Well something similar is happening to me... I am driving...

I looked up how to play this song of Muse, on bassmasta and youtube (song covers), there is a tap section right on the middle of the song. I watched band concerts on youtube and there is no tapping. I listened to the song carefully and this sections seems to be done only with a synth...

I went this website where it says they manufacture Lakland and also some Fender basses. I assumed that you were able to get it cheaper there and send it to the US. Instead the price was list price. Cheaper at guitar center. What's the deal there? Is that a scam or are they really...

Any IT people that knows of an IT forum as big as TB? Where you could talk about computer, technology or IT stuff?...without paying of course

I have been listening to Muse lately and his sound of bass distortion is really neat. Do you know what he is using?

Hiya TB and all great bassists of the world. I am looking for (g.a.s) an acoustic bass. 4 string. What's good, what's bad.

Landlord of hell...continues. Sure I got into this lease cause I liked the place a lot, and the landlord seemed fine, until... I called him and he says couldn't come cause he injured his leg. Then I saw him walking around like nothing. I called him again to mention: - I smelled gas...like...

Hello fellow TB, Moved into a new place, landlord seemed fine. Very nice...at the beginning. Landlord lives one floor below me. Day 1: Landlord: So you are going to paint right? Me: (paint? why?) mmm no why? Landlord: ohh okay. Me: Can I paint? Landlord: Yes, but pick neutral...

Hiya TB, I have been playing on this avatar b210 neo for a while. At last gig speaker started to making this weird sound. Like a bzzzzzz. Like when you put a cell phone close to it, bzzzz, rzzzzz. I wonder what is going on with this speaker?

Hi TB, Excuse the improper grammar of my title, but I need advise on this matter. Drummer who is a professional musician, rents this place where he also teaches drumming lessons and spends most of his time...drumming I guess. I joined his indie band to play 2 days of the week, for a couple of...

Hi all, I am trying to compare a sound but I cannot find the right band I can compare it with. In other words, could you please name a singer that you hate or that you think has a bad voice. Throw in a freebie and name a bassist you hate, as well. ****** After reading a couple of posts...

Hello TB all around the world, I started playing with another (original) band. They play rock kind of like Pearl Jam. It's fun playing with them, we sound tight. Now the drummer, who is a professional musician, band founder, all the time says, "So when we tour..." or "When we get a...

Hiya all TB ppl in the world, I got a MM and last night noticed the volume pot is getting very hard to turn. Going from zero volume upwards is very sticky, then getting to the top is loose. It didn't use to be like that. What do you recommend? Open it up and change the pot or what...

Hiya TB people, I am rehearsing with a cover band. Now...the singer is really friendly and nice but his singing sucks so bad. I am new in the band, (he founded the band), and there are 3 more people (gtr, keys, drums). Why haven't they said anything? I mean if I would have to pick between...

Hi TB world, I have a musicman 4 string, which (I think) is really heavy and after 2 - 3 hours of jamming my shoulder kills me. Following day I feel like I moved a refrigerator up the stairs. I have a planet waves strap. But I am looking into something more comfortable. Maybe some kind of...

I should write a song about this. I am about to move to a new place. Have not signed a lease, but landlord told me he approved my application and to go ahead to arrange moving. So I arranged a moving company. Then he told me go ahead and arrange painting, if I wanted. So I arranged...

Hello TB world, I am sliding on my fret a lot lately, and I cut my finger playing on the G. Then I noticed the ends (edges) of the frets are really sharp. How do I file them off, what tool do I use, or how much filing is safe without damaging the neck.

Sorry JimmyM...had to do it I am sure they all look nice and chunky but... - they are heavy - they are a pain to move to a gig...a greater pain to move to crappy gigs - when a tube breaks, you don't feel technically proficient to do it yourself, so you have to move the chunky beast to repair...

All these rental agencies mess up with you so bad. I ask for a 3 bedroom, they show me a 2 bedroom and say the living room is the 3rd bedroom. I ask NO garden units (basement unit), and they show me...a garden unit I ask laundry in the unit...and they show me the laundry is in the...

Went to catch the World Cup game USA vs England. This guy and girl were asking me the most stupid questions. - So the world cup is every year? - How many quarters are there in the game? - Why don't they have time outs? - Why don't they "contest" a play? - Which one is USA? - What do...

ESPN interviewed today, Pele (one the best players in the history of soccer), said how this world cup was to become dominated by Underdogs: It was forecasted that these matches were going to be: England vs USA: 4 to 1 (Actual: 1 to 1) Mexico vs South Africa: 3 to 0 (Actual: 1 to 1)...

Went to Target. Now they have a "music section" Picked up this "USB Guitar System" (USB to 1/4) with some basic cakewalk software included. Thinking this has to be plug and play, easier than installing protools. Plugged in my bass into my laptop. Installed the software. The darn...
