Hi, I ordered the EHX Octavix because I thought it would be a cool octave up+ fuzz to have in a power trio setting( to thicken the sound during guitar solo's) but the tracking is horrible and everything on the low E sounds like a clipping mess with sudden substain cut-offs. So I,m returning...

For a song I need to quickly switch from a single note riff on the E string to power chords on the A-D strings and right now I pinch the a and d strings while muting the E with my pinky. Is this the proper technique or is there something better?

I played in a cover band before, which I liked, but I always thought that creating music was a fundamental part of learning a instrument. So when I was asked to join a "originals" Metal band I was pretty excited. They send me 2 demo songs I could practise for a audition which i listened and I...

Will the Micro pog's octave up running through a overdrive make a convincing substitute rhythm guitar?

Hi everyone, I recently bought the digitech solo xt because I was looking for a good affordable looper to play around with. The thing that sold me on the digitech solo was the ability to import your own drumloops or even songs through the USB port. Anyone here that has more experience with the...

I got the Zoom B2.1u multipedal, which has a USB port to record directly to the computer. I use the Audicity software for recording. But when I record i have some clipping on a clean basstone, but with boosted bass or Fuzz enabled the "waveform" is seems to be off the chart at all time, I...

I have a Fender Jazz bass with a Schaller 3D-4 bridge installed. The previous owner has installed that bridge and while i have nothing to complain about the quality, I found strings too high for my liking so I removed the Shim underneath it. At first the bridge was waay too low, but i...

Anyone here has some experience with this multiFX pedal? There are few places on the Internet that has any information or reviews of this pedal. It got my interest because it's a complete package for little money. How is the recording quality with the USB? Are the effects usable or do they...

On Wikipedia you find alot of bassists in exmember lists of many famous bands. For example a Band like Atreyu replaced their bassist 4 times, Tool replaced their bassist (as only member), Rolling stones replaced their bassist 2 times, etc... It seems like bassists are the least "loyal" to...

I always played fingerstyle but lately i'm trying to pick up playing with pick for fast rock songs. But somehow I get alot of annoying fretbuzz when playing with pick which i don't have when playing fingerstyle. Am i using a wrong technique or is it normal to have to raise your strings for...

How long should it take to practise a new song till you can play along with a track in time? I just joined a coverband and they asked me to learn at least 1 song a week so i can play it on the next practise session. For most of you experienced bassplayers this sounds like a easy job to...

I know the original studio version is a synth bass, but the bassline is pretty catchy and i would like to play it along with the track. There are alot of basstabs that suggest all different styles and notes (from slap, slap, pop, slap to just play regular and pull the high note (f) This...

I saw a advertisement about a band searching for a bassist nearby, so i send out a mail that i was interested (really want to play in a band since practising alone only gets you so far) They where looking for a bassist that "was playing for some time now and was looking to join a band". Now i...

I'm trying to learn the bassline from Seemann, but some parts seem impossible. Especially after a while you are suposed to play 11th fret on A string, then 9th on D and 14th! on G string. But there is no way in hell i can stretch my pinky to the 14th fret when i have my index finger on the...

I really love my Peavey Grind 4 string bass, but i think it would be even more awesome if i could replace my passive pickups with some actives. Now i want to replace them myself, but it would be my first time. Which pickups do you recommend? And is there any tutorial that can guide me...

Hi i'm Niels and i play bass for about 3 years (from which i put some serious work into for the last year with taking lessons etc) While I don't feel like a pro and still have alot to learn, i have the feeling i'm good enough to lock in with a drummer and deliver a nice bassline. On my...
