Evening all, I'm looking to pick up an Aguilar Tone Hammer 350, and I'm looking for a reasonably priced cab to go with it that's not too heavy (Lots of load ins/outs up and down stairs at home and venues). This will be my first non-combo setup, and I'd like something that'll last me a...

Hey guys, Any of you lot heard this yet? It came out about two hours ago, and I've noticed some Muse related content frequently recently. It's well worth a listen. What does everyone expect from the 2nd Law?

Hey everyone, I'm looking at changing my pickups for the first time ever, and I know very little about the subject. I'll give you some basic info about what I use/play etc... that might give you an insight into what I do. I'm looking for a pretty growly sound, but one that will work with slap...

Hey all, I'm running either an Ibanez BTB09 or a Hudson PB4 (Curbow Designed) through a Redsub 100w combo, and I was wondering whether there was a pedal that could give me a clean boost? We play mostly heavy/blues/progressive rock, and there are certain situations in which I'm called...

I wandered into one of the local music stores today, and while chatting with the guy who runs it, I notice a strangely familiar looking bass hanging up on the wall. At face value it looked quite modern and sleek, but possibly a little lifeless. It turned out to be a Hudson PB4, which seems...

Hey, I've hit a dry spot in finding new music, and it's infuriating. For a good month now I've just been trying to find new music but to no avail... I'd love some recommendations, so I'll put up a list of my favorite bands. (In no particular order) - John Butler Trio - Tool -...

Well, yeah. I'm thinking of getting an EUB, as the DB is an instrument I've always loved, but I don't have the space and I'm not in a practice-friendly situation. I've been browsing through, and money is pretty low on the ground, so my two options are the Stagg (Invalid Link Removed) or the...

Hiya, The game is simple. Just follow the instructions and you'll love it! 1. Put your 'Top Rated' playlist on shuffle. 2. Take note of the first five songs. 3. Write why you like the aforementioned songs. 4. Post here. 5. ??? 6. Profit. I'll Start: Turn it again - Red Hot...

Hiya, I've just ordered myself the aforementioned Boss RC-3 loop station, and I'm gonna assume it goes here in the effects forum... Anyhow, I was wondering if there are any other Tbers out there that have one of these lovely little things and have any advice or general knowledge/funny...

'Sup, Justin Chancellor, bassist from Tool. Why is no-one else amazed by him? I've recently rediscovered Tool, and the last time I listened to any Tool albums was from before I played bass, and this time round, I've noticed how different and, to put it plainly, AWESOME they are. Anyone...

'Sup, I've been looking to replace my old Ibanez practice amp, and this seems to be the best option. I mean, I've played Behringer amps before and they've been nice enough, but I haven't tried anything from the Ultrabass series, nor did I spend enough time using them to notice anything that...

Hi all, I picked up this old melodeon at a car boot sale for £20, but for the love of god I can't find out anything about it. It came with a book on how to play melodeon, that was published in 1928. It seems to be in good working order, and sounds nice, but I would love what it is, where it's...

Afternoon, I've been looking for a set of (preferably wireless) decent quality speakers to use in my home studio, but they can't be too pricey. Any ideas?

Hi all, I've been reading a good few posts about how to better comunicate with other band members and stuff recently, but I've never had this as an issue. I'm a co-founder of two projects round here, one being my main band, who are in the gigging stage and have a decent following, we're...

Hello everyone, I'm looking for a really off the wall, unusual effects pedal. I'm not that into heavy distortion (A little crunch is okay) or fuzz or the like, but I'm open to pretty much everything. I currently have a boss me-20b & a EHX Big Muff Pi. What'd you guys recommend?

Hey, Just got my new Ibanez BTB09-LTDDOF. I absolutely love it, it feels wonderful, and looks pretty damn fine. What d'you guys think? And also, I was recently reading a thread about naming your bass, and I can't seem to come up with one that suits this bass. Any ideas?

Do you play in a tuning lower than E standard? If so, This club is for you! Join us and be proud that you play lower! Tunings we accept: Eb standard Drop-D D standard Any thing lower! No, A low 'B' string on a 5 string doesn't count. Current list: PandaInTheSky: Down-Tuned Bassist #01...

Hey everyone, I've been trying for months to get the hang of double thumbing. I'm failing. Nothing I seem to try makes it any better. Before you say anything, I'm not a 'It's not working straight away so it's never going to' or a 'I think I'm amazing even though I'm not and the...

Hi, I've been playing bass a good few years now and can slap pretty well, but before now I've never had reason to experiment with the idea of percussive slapping, and I just can't get the hang of it. The particular technique I've been attempting is used by Fieldy (KoRn) in the song 'Got...

Hey everyone, I have a 5 string on the way to me, but what I had over looked is that as a band, we play in D standard (DGCF for a four string) and I was wondering which of two things should be done with the 5 string. Option 1: Tune it like my guitarist's Dstandard, so it'll be DGCFA, but...
