Hello! I have recently acquired a Presonus Eureka that is no longer working properly. I have contacted Presonus about a price to repair it but it left me wondering... If the product costs, say $150.00 to repair, would it be worth just buying something new at this point? My intent on the Eureka...

As the title suggests, I am inquiring about a bass that can function as active and passive. I tried to do a search but seem to find more about Active vs Passive but not as much about both in one. I know the American Fender Deluxe Jazz bass has a switch on it that allows a person to switch...

I do not know if it is because I had a bit of background in music theory and part writing, but this little clip seems to make a lot of sense just from the visual aspect on seeing how music can look. Perhaps this can open a new way of looking at music for some. If not, enjoy the piece :)

Apparently there is this huge controversy around the Beatles that suggests Paul McCartney is dead. I have heard several different stories, all seem suspiciously true, but how am I to really know? You have to admit though... Paul is always treated differently on album art and the such...

Have you ever picked up a bass that you normally had no interest in and find out that you really liked it? I was at my local candy shop and I went into the bass room where I seen a Godin A4 Semi-Acoustic Fretless Bass. I have seen this before and kind of just shrugged it off. I picked it up the...

Well, this may seem like an amateur question, but I will have to admit it is something I am unsure about. Aside from the type of wood, how else are fret/fingerboards/necks described? I know what I like from the feel, but I do not know any proper terminology to describe what I like. For...

I just got my first legit, fully functional and self purchased bass amp yesterday.. only took me a few years... Thought I would share :) GK Mb115 :)

I have been a big promoter for this band, Left in the Attic. I personally love them, but I am also best of friends with them, and have a shout out on a song, and what they sing about are life events, many of which I was around to experience. So this is me just giving them a bit of a...

So today I found my girlfriend has been cheating on me. Between 2 months to 2-3 weeks. I really felt like that she was the one for the rest of my life... It's now over and I don't know what to do with myself. Bass, video games, internet, nothing helps. I don't feel like walking around and I...

Major Band Issue: I have never played in one. I have always wanted to play in a band, but after relocating a few years ago I find it difficult to get around, especially without a car. But that is not the major problem. I have been playing for around 8 years without an formal training. Just...

Someone came in where I work looking to trade in a bass going towards a keyboard. The person who handled him said he hadn't seen that type of bass in our store before (he has been there a long time and seen a lot). Apparently when the store got it in, they sold out very quickly. The dude...

Hey, I did a search through Google and found a post from 2005. Perhaps a new thread for a new model would be in order. I was wondering if anyone heard the Warwick Vampyre NT. They look pretty sharp, but as we all know, looks can't compare to sound. Just wondering if anyone has tried out one of...

Hey, I cannot remember what I had done with all college music theory papers. I had a few good ones consisting of Harmonization of 7th Chords, Scales, and the such. The teacher had every Major and minor scale printed on manuscript paper. So, I was wondering if anyone had any of these on...

I feel a big lack of ambition in bass playing currently. I even feel like I have lost some abilities that I had once done so nicely with. I find myself just noodling around, not learning, and not advancing. I started working 40 hours a week 3 months ago. This added with the fact I do not...

If you could time travel to any point in history solely to experience that periods music for the first time, or partake in it... To which point and place would you go? If you could travel to the future, how do you think music will sound?

So, I have been working in a pretty big music store for about three months now. I have noticed something very very interesting that I have not come across any where else. Apparently, since it is the proper season, there have been a numerous amount of flies buzzing around. They are your average...

Has anyone used one of those Monster Bass Cables? For 50 bucks, do they really make much of a difference and deliver a better punch for your performance opposed to a regular monster cable? What about those dinky random cables? I know the quality of monster is much better then the no name crappy...

I really dig the overall sound and gestures of these three tunes: Pink Floyd - Sheep Led Zeppelin - No Quarter Black Sabbath - Planet Caravan They have a some what ambient, trippy, and mellow aspect to it with all those perfect notes played at the appropriate time. So, does anyone got...

I am looking at getting a new bass. I really dig it, and I am pretty sure I have made my selection. So I go into the store today and I decide to take a look around. I noticed that most basses come with a 20 fret neck, including the one I am interested in. My runner up choice has 24... I thought...

Over the years of playing, I've taken a lot of influence from Flea and Wooten. Now I find myself doing quick runs consisting of slapping on the D and G strings. A lot of others bassists I know stick to just slapping the E and A and just popping D and G. Are there many other of you bassists out...
