Got this at Guitar Center today for about $400. For my first giggable amp, it sounds fantastic. I know there's a lot of hate towards Dr. Bass for all the crap he did, but he sure makes some decent sounding stuff. Sorry for the crap pic, my iPod has a crap camera.

Can anybody tell me what the difference is between the gain and the master volume is on a Solid State Amp? I know that on a tube amp, the gain ups the volume to the preamp, so that you can get more of that tubey goodness, but is that necessary on a Solid State? Or do I just not know what I'm...

I just wrote a new song, and am perplexed: What genre would this be classified as? [Invalid or Expired Link Removed] Feedback would be appreciated by the way.

The next time I see some ignorant person say that Geddy Lee is under-rated, I'm going to ask them why this video has almost 30,000 views. Geddy Lee coughs - YouTube

Does torrenting music destroy the music industry? Not according to Janis Ian [Invalid or Expired Link Removed] I came to this article through StumbleUpon, and though that it would make a decent read. I'm not sure if this belongs in here, or miscellaneous, so mods, feel free to move it...

This video just blew my mind. YouTube - ‪Amazing Bass Guitar Player! Gustavo Dal Farra‬‏

Here is a new song that I have written, featuring the vocoders. It is going to be part of a multi song epic (think rush's 2112 & Hemispheres, but EP length) but is all I have at the moment. I'm only fifteen, and have limited experience with recording and mixing a song, but constructive...

I just wish that I had money... [Invalid or Expired Link Removed] (I'm in no way affiliated with the seller)

Has anyone seen these? I know you get what you pay for, but can they really be all that bad? Link Removed

I had two bass solo pieces that I had written, and decided to see what I could do with them from 9:00 PM to whenever I fell asleep. (11:00 PM) I'm just looking for some honest feedback. Please tell me what you think of them, what you like about them, and what I could do to improve them...

The following is one of multiple warm-up exercises that I use. I recorded it and posted it on youtube as a solo. I gave it a name because "Warping Time" sounds sexier than "Bass Solo.":D This video is open to critique, and flame alike. Reviews Please?:help:

I was in my local music store, and I saw what looked like a jazz bass copy by a company called Ken Smith Design. The bass was called a Proto-J. Does anybody know anything abouth these?

How long do your strings last you? I've just broke my second pair in a year. In reality, I just broke one string, but I buy a whole new pair every time I break one string. That way, if any others break, I just use an old one that isn't broken. The pair I broke two minutes ago was my first...

Well, my stereo and turntable have been kaput for a while now. The turntable doesn't spin easily, and the receiver will only play out of one speaker. So my dad was cleaning out his guitar room/den and decided that I could have his turntable/stereo combo with the speakers. I cart all my...

http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=220698150697 Just thought i'd post this up in case anyone's looking for a sting ray. It's cheap now, but the price is probably going to skyrocket. (No affiliation with the seller)

I heard from a friend that If you want a decent j bass for cheap, just buy a squier jazz and add bartolini pickups. Is this a good idea?

Are bartolini pups really as good as everyone else is making them out to be? Discuss.

I tried, for the first time ever, a Rickenbacker (4003 in Jetglo) that was in my local music store (the only one in the store i might add.) It was a beast. I now see why they are so highly regarded. This is the thing though. It was only $1,500! And it was new! Correct me if I'm wrong, but...

Can anybody tell me if there is a difference between: a) Warwick Rockbass http://www.warwickbass.com/modules/produkte/produkt.php?submenuID=17072&katID=17099&cl=EN b) Rockbass by Warwick Link Removed Please look at the links before commenting.

In 2060, people will be still selling Road Worn 50's P-Basses or Road Worn 60's Jazz Basses from today's period on sites like Craigslist or Ebay. Think About it. It's a vintage 2010 Fender Jazz Bass made to look even more vintager (if that's a word) than they really are. How do you think...

What is this Soundgear by Ibanez brand? Is it another Squire/Epiphone? Or is it a higher quality instrument? Since my next trip to my music store won't be for a while, can anyone here tell me? :help:

I started playing bass six months ago, and I've been using my dad's bass. Now that I have a summer job, I'm thinking of buying my own. I played a Neuser Cloudburst, and loved it, but I don't think that I want to spend all of my summer's pay on it. I've also been looking at a Steinburger Spirit...

I'm starting up my PowerTab program and I get this tip shown in the attachment below. Epicly Random!:hyper::hiding:

Does anybody know of this bass? It looks like a good deal, but I don't want to get a crappy bass. [Invalid or Expired Link Removed]

If you had to pick one over the other, would you pick Geddy Lee, or Jaco Pastorius?

Can anyone explain to me WHY Rush has never made it to the Rock and Roll hall of fame? Three Reasons why they should be: Geddy Lee, Alex Lifeson, Neil Peart. More Reasons: listen to pretty much ALL of their albums. Narrow it down even further: Most EVERY ONE of their songs So, anybody?

I'm thinking about getting one of these, but I'm not sure about the quality. http://cgi.ebay.com/4-String-Clear-Body-Electric-Bass-Guitar-Headless-New-/360234090834?cmd=ViewItem&pt=Guitar&hash=item53dfa00152 Does anybody know more about these?

I walked into my local music store and found this: a used Neuser 4-string Cloudburst bass for $1199. I hadn't played anything like it before, but I can't find much about it on Google. Can anyone tell me anything about this bass (retail price, body wood, etc...)?
