so i just got my brand new MIM p bass, and i absolutely love it!! only thing i could possibly be less than ecstatic about is how my tone pot seems to be either on, or off. it seems that it's either full bright, or totally mellow, no in between. in fact, if i play a note, and turn the knob, i...

so what is, and how do you "ground" one's pickups? to be completely honest, I do not know much at all about pickups, just curious as to what that means :D lol

I was down at Guitar Center, looking around at amps, and one of the salesmen started talking to me. I asked him some stuff about hybrid amps with a tube preamp and a solid state power section, and he told me that these types of amps are more or less gimics, and that if you want that "tube"...

Ok, so I was messin around on musiciansfriend recently, and i found this! i was just gonna ask if anybodys seen one of these before, and what they think of them!

I run a solid state head at its peak point consistently? I know if you do that with a tube head, eventually your gonna hafta replace tubes, but what will happen to a solid state head? the specific head im talking about is the PF500 from ampeg. its pretty much brand new, and i love this amp...

ok, so i was talkin to a fellow bassist a while back about basses with really thin necks. he thought thin necks are great, but he told me that putting flatwounds on it might bend the neck a lot, and make it to where i might be readjusting the truss rod an awfull lot. is that true?

I've heard before that neodymium speakers don't sound as good as standard speakers [whatever they're called ;)]. How are they different, and what would make them sound "not as good"?? :ninja:

Ok, so Im thinking that I might be investing in a new bass, and what ive narrowed it down to is either an SR 700 or 750 from Ibanez, or a mexican j or p bass from fender. I like Ibanez because it seems they are more suited to more types of music, but Ive heard so much about fender, that im...

Currently i only play with my thumb chillin out on my neck pup, and it doesn't move regardless of which string im plucking. Ive heard that its a good idea to let your thumb drop to other strings so that the angle your fingers are at doesn't change. Is it really worth it to learn this...
