    TC Electronic Polytune Clip tuner: kudos & questions

    Just took delivery yesterday on my new Polytone Clip, from Sweetwater. Had to pay $49, but free shipping and fast delivery makes up for it. So far, I love it - super visible, and it tracks really fast so I know if I'm tuned up quickly. The directions just suck - tiny print I need a magnifying...

    I'm having problems posting pics

    Hate to sound like a dork, but for some reason I can't seem to be able to figure out how to post pics. I've uploaded some of my own pics from my hard drive (the bar graph at the top of my Manage Attachments thing says I have a total of 510.1 KB of attachments already uploaded), but what I'm...

    Fender Precision: American Standard vs. Highway One

    I've got a P-bass in my horizons, but probably not until the first of the year. Lately I've been hearing the buzz about the American Standard, but then yesterday some talk about the Highway One came up and now I'm looking at both. Apparently at some point the Highway "1" became the Highway...

    Is Geddy Lee a baseball fan?

    Apparently so. I live near Kansas City Kansas and recently went to the Negro Leagues Baseball Museum. Fascinating place; it's a total testament to the blacks of the early part of the 20th century playing ball in the face of discrimination. But I noticed in the museum a huge collection of...

    Stringing up so the keys lay flat...???

    Is there a trick to re-stringing my bass so that the tuning keys end up laying flat after tuning? I'm betting that it's impossible..... Enlighten me!

    Night Shift by the Commodores

    Lately I've rediscovered this song - very open uncluttered arrangement, great vocals and a bassline that carries the song beautifully. Listening to the song, though, it seems the bass player plays a note and it seems to ring for several measures. Man, you can really hear the "mwah" singing on...

    How do I post big pictures here?

    OK, small problem but not to me. I see some others posting these big pics of their basses etc., and yet when I post pics the upload thing says I'm limited to 150KB in size. What gives?:confused:

    Changed my right-hand technique after 25 years

    I've been playing for around 25 years now, and I've just made the most significant quantum leaps in my sound I've ever made. I've always played with my strap medium height, I guess, but with my index & middle right fingers slightly bowed in that ubiquitous caveman finger attack. You know...

    Somebody tell me what "true bypass" means...

    I'm looking for a good, simple, no-frills A/B box to switch my Fender from (A) into my rack tuner to (B) into my amp. I been noticing a lot of bragging that some boxes are "true bypass". What does that mean? I'm fairly electronics-savvy, so if anybody is a whizkid don't be afraid to get all...

    Ex- DudePit member

    Brand-new Talkbasser here. Just for kicks & giggles I did a search for any mention of the old DudePit. Found a thread that was locked down because it inevitably got ugly - damn, I was gonna write a post there and say HEY! :mad: Saw a bunch of old names & faces - so I thought I'd post a new...

    Eden WT-800...new vs. old

    :bassist:New Talkbasser here, I been thinkin' about getting a new small or smallish God-head. I've had Eden cabs before and I'm pretty sold, so I've been giving serious thought to the WT-800. I can't find the thread now, but somewhere here I read something about the older ones being known to be...
