This bass comes with 3 knob active EQ. I'm finding that the 'highs' knob makes a really high pitched buzz, even at 12 o'clock, that gets louder as the highs are turned up. Similar phenomenon with the mids, but its not as intense and its of a mid range pitch. If i turn the bass knob to either...

I hope this is the right place for this question. I've been able to open both the Groove Agent one and beat designer in Cubase 5 but no sound comes out for either one. I have already directed the program to the correct drivers (input and output). I get sound when recording my bass and playing it...

As the title says, playing is always frustrating. I'm not sure how long this has been going on but definitely for a while. I've been playing on my own for 11 years or so and have developed a lot in that time, but no matter what when i practice, i end up at the end of it feeling burned out...

I took my bass to skip's music to get a set up and to address a buzzing issue. There is a rather noticeable buzz that softens if I touch the strings (especially if I touch them around the 5th fret). I have tried different cables, 2 different amps, and an audio interface that goes into USB, and...

This wasn't something I found to be covered in the MM pickups sticky, but it is about a MM. I tested out a model of stingray with a single set of pickups and it sounds great, but there is a version offered with 2 sets of pickups. My question is - what difference in tone and functionality will I...

I read through the appropriate info in the FAQ but didn't feel satisfied with the information. What I'd like to know is what kind of differences I will notice, particularly in sound, if I go lighter in gauge. The information I saw basically said you sacrifice tone for playability.... but what...

I've been playing for quite some time. I've focused mostly on ear training, pitch matching, chord construction, note selection and general theory application. I'd like to focus on my speed, accuracy, and dependability (in keeping time and clean transitions). I was hoping you all could lend some...

I have not recorded my playing before. I'm not hellbent on making absolutely sounding amazing tracks. I would really just like to be able to plug my bass into my computer, so i can listen to myself and record while I play. I would also like to be able to listen to and/or record other things on...

I got some Black Beauty strings put on my bass. In general the tone is very bright, beefy, powerful etc... attacking with fingers sounds very much like slap. However, the G string, and somewhat the D string are muted and soft sounding. I'm really used to my higher pitched strings being the most...

A recent situation made it clear to me how nonexistant my improv skills are. I sat down with a friend and my bass, he had his guitar and he said "Ok, go. you're the bass." I paused for a second, and delivered something totally half-assed, almost immediately cutting it off. We ended up just...

As the title states. I understand the concept behind it, but I don't understand why it's very important to my bass playing. To me it seems more important for transposing. What do I need to know about it? I guess what I'm trying to ask here is.... what do I need to know about the circle of...

I've been playing for a while now, maybe 8 or 9 years, not necessarily as consistently as I could have, but I feel I am dedicated. I've never really had a formal teacher, but music has been a part of my life as long as i can remember, and self teaching is usually effective for me. My mother...

Hiya fellow bassists. I've been playing bass for about 7 years and I feel that I've been hovering around the same skill level for some time now and I'm just not really sure how to break through this wall I seem to be up against. I just don't feel like I'm progressing. I practice scales and...
