I have a '83 Engelhardt with a Realist pickup. I rarely gig, and mostly play at our weekly jam but I am amplifying more and more these days. At gigs I'm plugged into a PA but for small stuff I plug into a cheap Crate amp. I leave the amp in the back of the room and it's not easy to adjust the...

Kind of self explanatory but I'd like to find an app that averages tempo over several seconds and displays it. There's one that does it with screen taps but I want one that just listens for volume spikes. It would be interesting to see when we speed up or slow down during songs. Anyone know of...

We had a gig yesterday that we didn't have the right equipment for. For the best results we would have had to get into the center of a skating arena and pretty much start to play immediately, audible to everyone even with the HVAC and floor fans running. The sound system we normally use takes...

I watched that YouTube video where the guy is playing arco with what he calls "old-time DADA." For pizz, is there any reason to do this? I can see it for a drone string when bowing, but when I'm playing OT I think the existing open D and A are all I need. I guess the question is based on...

My brother-in-law is thinking about this for one of his guitars. I just looked at my fingerboard (I've been having a lot of buzzing on the E string) and see a ripple in it. Now, I have a great shop less than an hour away but the engineer in me wonders about PLEK for getting a 'perfect'...

So my little group is playing a rag (this song: Pig Ankle Rag) and it brings up a question about timing. In a rag, it seems to me that the melody sometimes leads the beat a bit, especially on 1 and 3. Sometime it's on the beat. My inclination is to stay on the beat throughout, as otherwise...

Might be buying this '83 Engelhardt M-1, but can't get it to the luthier until the end of this week at the earliest. Check out this bridge: You can see the old foot positions which were centered between the f-notches (it's easiest to see the one that's farther away) but either the bridge...

There are plenty of threads on fitting a DB into a car, and our car ('03 Jetta wagon) holds one no problem, but does anyone use an X-cargo type cartop carrier to carry their DB? It just seems easier for me to flip up a lid and drop the bass into a carrier than it is to fold up the rear seats and...
