    Getting the Seymour Duncan Steve Harris pickup, bypass tone pot?

    I've just managed to grab myself a set of the SD Steve Harris pickups, after wanting them since I first saw the promo stuff for it on the Duncan Facebook page and their site. I'm a big Steve Harris fan and I love Iron Maiden as well. I'm in a metal band myself and we play original material...

    Justin Street (Airbourne) - how to get that bass tone?

    I'm a big Airbourne fan. I saw them live a couple of years ago as well, supporting Iron Maiden on their Final Frontier World Tour and it was a fantastic show. It's been good to hear their progression in their music - both in skill and in production quality. I love their new album, Black Dog...

    Seymour Duncan SPB-4 Steve Harris Signature

    As a big Iron Maiden fan, and having bought my first proper P bass (Squier CV 60s), I've been taking a look at this pickup set. However, because they're new, no one seems to have done a proper review of them yet. Has anyone here tried them? The stock pickups in the Squier are pretty good to...

    NBD: Squier Classic Vibe 60's Precision

    Had this on layaway in the local music store for months on end and since the taxman decided to give me some money back, I went and bought it, as I'll more than likely not be able to afford it in the future. I paid this off on Friday and picked it up on Saturday, and due to being out I've only...

    Squier Classic Vibe 60's Precision

    I've had one of these badboys on layaway in the local music store for a few months now and thanks to the taxman being generous and giving me my money back, I'm finally going to be able to buy it. I've played it a few times and I like the feel so I definitely will be getting it and nothing else...

    How to get this tone? (Pantera content)

    I've been getting back in to Pantera recently and I've been listening to the Cowboys From Hell 20th Anniversary Re-issue version, with the demo tracks. I particularly like Domination, because of the sick bass tone Rex has in it. Now back then (I'm assuming this is very late 80s, '88 or '89)...

    Missing gig opportunites.

    A little background info first. I live in Shetland, UK, an island in the middle of the North Sea, with mainland Scotland being over 200 miles away. Now, I've been in 2 bands here over the course of 3 years. I quit my first band after I realised that it was going nowhere. The singer was...

    Cheap head, good cab; good way to start?

    I need to get a new amp sometime soon and considering that I'm not all that flush with cash, I need something on the lower side of the money scale. I've always heard that cheaping out on a cab is never a good idea when starting out with a head/cab setup, so naturally the idea of getting a cheap...

    Pantera - P.S.T '88

    Try as I might, I just can't get this down at all without tabs, and since it's from Pantera's glam era, no one cares about it - despite the whole Power Metal album being absolutely amazing - and as such, there's no tabs anywhere for it. If anyone here could help me out, I'd be really grateful...

    Ever regretted not buying a bass?

    Recently I've been looking around for a backup/second stage bass (currently I have a cheapo P copy and a Dean Metalman Z, no gigging the P but the Dean is crap!) to have around my Kramer. I've found a few V shaped basses, and got me thinking about the Epiphone Flying V bass that I saw when I was...

    High end P-bass/J-bass copies

    I'm talking Squier Vintage Modified and Classic Vibe series kind of level. I'm looking for a reasonable backup for my Kramer Disciple D-1 (also for a different kind of tone, and I can't go wrong with the classic P-bass or J-bass). I play in a hard rock band with sounds similar to AC/DC...

    Advice on upgrading?

    For the most part of the time I've been playing bass (roughly 2 years), I've owned a Harley Benton HBW-80, an 80 watt combo, on Thomann.de's in house brand. It should be noted that I've only ever gigged this thing once, the rest of the time I've had amps supplied (the local arts company has a...
