the band I'm in has asked me if I can be more groovy. I'm fairly new to the bass, so this isn't a complete surprise to me. I've played more guitar than anything, so figure I am just playing too much - ie. I'm playing interesting lines on the bass, but am over-playing. I went back to playing...

converted guitarist / keyboardist... although not so serious nowadays, mainly spend my time programming and running a business.... but would love to do some recording / gigging on the side. anyways, here goes: got myself a fender mustang and a mesa walkabout when I started out... so far so...

Hi All: recently I was kind of stupid, and crouched down in front of my amp (mesa walkabout combo, 300w ouch) during a rehearsal for a few songs (and then later sat down at amp level to play guitar for a few songs - showing the guitar player what I was thinking). we were louder than usual...

Hi there, quick question, I've scoured the walkabout megathread but can't seem to find the info I'm looking for on this one... so hopefully someone will happen to know: i've got a 4 ohm walkabout 12, how high can I turn up the master without worrying about blowing out the speaker? the cab...

the walkabout head is 300w (at 4 ohms... 8 ohms would be 165w). Right now it is in the walkabout combo 12, and sounds great. But I'm contemplating the purchase of a larger cab if the need should ever arise, and am wondering what size would be appropriate. What can the head handle? a 4x10...

I'm a converted guitarist, so that is where this is coming from in the first place. i've been playing bass a few months, and decided to go 100% finger method only, started anchoring the thumb, then moved to floating thumb recently. and chords were easy to play as I could pluck all the...

I have just recently started playing bass (2 months). and I find that my whole index finger (well, on the outside towards the thumb and to the center) is calloused. quite different than when I used to just play guitar. The question is: Is this normal or does it indicate a flaw in my...

I just bought a new fender mustang, and am setting it up. 2 options: 1. If I get the neck to be perfectly straight, there is barely any height (when first and last fret are pressed) in the middle. Not even enough for a single business card. 2. If I tighten it a bit so that the bow is...

I just bought a set of medium scale rotosound flats rs77 for my mustang (thought I could just cut them down a bit if required) and there was absolutely no tension in the strings at all. I was horrified. I thought there must be something wrong with my ear or my tuner, but nope... EADG tuning...

Just tried some medium scale roto jazzes (rs77) and couldn't make them work... no tension at all, which would be ok if I wanted to play "a d g b"... I thought I needed some medium scale flats for the mustang cause it's string through body, but was I wrong. Or maybe I do need medium scale I...

I've been viewing posts and trying basses out for a few weeks now, and was really going to go for the fender mustang, as it just has that perfect feel (for me anyways), and the tone was very unique, sort of classic, and I liked it. But I went in to Long & McQuade to buy it today and walked out...
