So I got a sweet Thunderbird at a pawn shop. Ordered black beauties, they are just not working out. To thin. I tune to bead. What's a good heavy string that can take this tuning? My t bird sits til I can find a string that fits it right. All my dean V basses accept this tuning w no prob but...

A bass player in a local punk band years ago got into a fight with the guitarist and swung his bass at him. Guitarist backed up, bass hit the PA stack and busted into a million pieces. Hahaha! Was a Fender American made. All parties were obviously wasted. Then the dude was out back later loading...

Just out of curiousity does anyone know where his basses are? Are they in a museum? His parents have them? He mainly played the Aria, but probably had lots of others. If anyone has info or a link I'd appreciate It. Thanks.

So I'm bass player, my bro is the drummer/visionary of our new band Phantom Green. We play stoner doom metal. Every guitarist that shows up pulls out the booze during try outs. We get some good guys but I think the wAsted new guy is questionable. Anyone else experience this? And the "hey man I'm...

Do u ever get so disgusted by someone's playing that you just wanna smack em? Whether good or bad, I have seen bassist so good I get jealous n wanna smack, then I see others that suck so bad I wanna kick em in the knee cap and take over. Is this normal?:help:

...they are pretty light. Just put em on my my t bird, maybe I got the wrong size? .45-105. But they feel like jello. Not bad just very bendy. Oh they show lint too but who cares. Aside from that they play great

I'm wanting to expand my playing. I like that old country western like Buck Owens, Johnny Paycheck etc. I can play metal, punk, funk, but those old country bass scales have me a bit stumped. Something in the scaling is diffrent. Any advice or tab sites for these old songs?

Finally Alex Webster has published his own DM bass tab book. Anyone here have it yet? I'm pondering buying it but I'm on a very tight budget n was wondering how thorough it is. Thanks.

GK backline 600, GK 410, GK 115. I play a Thunderbird and a Dean V. This rig is working but tends to get muddy at high vol when going from hi solo to Low E. I play doom metal. I also have a dod bass overdrive seems no matter how I tweak it that bottom end gets muddy and downs out my mids. Any...

I love my flying V's and my Thunderbird, but today my long awaited hardcase arrived FedEx, I was like a kid on Christmas morning only to find either of my basses fit :-( now I have to ship back etc frustration! The company apologized they took the blame because their tech assured me both basses...

A college kid sold me a GK 410, GK 115, and a GK 600 backline head for $300. Bucks, total. The rigg sounds great thanks to my little bro dialing it all in. I play a Thunderbird, and 2 Dean V basses. Granted my bird sounds way better than my V's, but I've yet to gig it is this a decent setup for...

I see some players polishing thier basses with a diaper, while others (like me) let it take its natural course. So what's the point in being so fanatical about polishing your bass? Maybe its like a car, some like bling, others r point A to point B. So whats your style and why? Just curious.

I've never felt anything playing them, and for the price I should. I get more of a thrill kill outta my cheap Dean V basses. So why is Warick so popular? Are they aimed for a specific type of playing? To me they feel light and cheap and don't sound all that great. Just curious to the phenomina...

Today picked up an Epiphone Thunderbird. Barely played, nice sunburst finish. Got it for 175. Out the door, thought i did well. Actually I'm loving it. Previous owner fixed the neck dive problem by relocating the strap lower, even came with strap locks. My main question is stupid, but it has 3...

First off, I'm 35 and play mainly Slayer, the sword, my dying bride and doom metal. But I listen also to old country. I love those old country bass lines. So whats the trick w these old country bass lines? They seem to have funk in them. The scales are not to scale, so to speak . So what's up...

So I'm a dedicated V player, my dream bass is the Gibson Korina V bass.....but until then I have been modifying my 2 dean V metalman basses. Does anyone know if I could use a Badass Bridge on my metalman? I scoured the net and can't find anything. Thanks.

I been playing since 97 and been through many basses, strings etc. Right now I have a GK 600 amp, GK 410, GK 115 and I own 2 Dean Metalman basses. V series, I'm very partial to the V design. I want to upgrade to a better string. The DR black beauties have my eye. We play in the style of The...

Anyone else here a die hard flying V bass player? I own 2 dean flying V basses. One stock, one preparing for a new Badass bridge and new hi output pickup. Saving up for a Gibson Korina flying V bass. I started playing in 1997 on a sweet soundgear, n have went through about 10 basses since, even...

I basically got it free. The input where you plug in your bass is broken. Im pretty experienced at fixing things and soldering. My question is this- I opened it up n noticed that the "tuner" input is identical to the input switch. I don't plan on using the tuner function, can I just un-solder...
