    Custom paint... Help me decide

    I recently purchased a bass -- an Ernie Ball Music Man Stingray with a Tobacco Sunburst finish. This bass has a natural headstock. I do not like this. As a matter of fact I have strong dislike for natural headstocks. This is my personal preference. I'm planning on having the headstock...

    Mesa Boogie PH Cab... Unusual usage

    I have the line on a really good deal for a PH 210 bass cab, I will use it as part of my bass rig on most occasions... But wondering if I could be used as an extension GUITAR cab (in addition to 410 slant) without damaging it or sounding too bad? I know this is not "normal" but is it...

    Need an Ibanez aficionado... Have an SR question

    Just bought an SR405. I dig it. When I bought it I played an SR505... I've been GAS-ing for it since. I'm going to have to get one, but I have questions first though. When you google the SR505, it seems that there are many incarnations of this bass. Must be a model evolution. Kind of...

    Taking your pedal board suggestions!

    Here's the short of it.... I'm in a hard rock/metal band, we've recently lost our lead guitarist and are moving on as a four piece. The remaining guitarist has requested that I might need to play more (more notes, more runs, fills, etc.), and "add to my sound." My current rig: EBMM...

    Amature or professional review?

    I keep a website for my band, and would like very much to add some written song reviews, by amatures or professionals. If you have the time and you wouldn't mind... I would ask you to go to our website: Invalid Link Removed , go to the music page, listen to a song or two and either post a...

    Press Kits vs. Myspace

    It's the electronic age right? Yeah, well aparently many club owners are still old school and want to have a physical press kit in hand... I get it, there are times when a PK would be great to give out... I just don't know how big of an investment I should be thinking here... That's where you...

    Metalheads like ESP/LTD like fat kids like cake!! SHOW YOUR ESP/LTD!!

    I think ESP and yes, even some LTD's are so under rated, it's not even funny.... Ok, it is kind of funny, because for $295 I just picked up a 2000 model TA-500. This is a beautiful neck through bass with EMG HZ's and an EMG active preamp! Funny cause I LOVE this bass - besides its SO METAL...

    I just purchased a Warwick Corvette $$ in nirvana black for $750!!!! BRAND NEW!!!! Guitar Center is "n-coding" these, which apparently means they are closing them out. My sales guy (I am kind of a novice gear freak), called to let me know, I went down yesterday and picked it up. If...

    I want to "hot rod" my Stingray..

    But I don't know what I'm doing necessarily... Your wisdom is appreciated. The bass is currently a single humbucker/active/3 band Ray. P.s. I might add that Mike Lull (big seattle luthier) will do this for $600-$700... far less than the cost of a new bass of this construct. whaddya think?

    Detune/restring or buy new guitar

    My band has at least one song written in a very low tuning. The original bass player had a five string drop tuned to A-D-G-C-F. I love the sound, and don't necessarily want to transpose it... So here are some ideas, and your thoughts would be appreciated: 1. Take my crappy practice...

    Need feedback on my rig please.

    I play in a metal band, and I wanted to get some nasty sounds without loosing my bottom end. My thoughts were to keep the big Mesa on one side of a quaility A/B/Y switch to hold the bottom, then take my MarkBass and but some nasty high gain distorition on it - maybe a guitar distortion pedal...
