So, I'm moving out on my own for the first time and need to buy some groceries. Here is my question: If you had to start from scratch and fill your cabinets and fridge, what would your grocery list look like? I have a good idea what I need to get for the food I normally cook but it would...

This may be a dumb place to ask this but... Am I correct in understanding that you dont pay interest on tax so long as you pay it by the due date at the beginning of the year? If you dont have your company take any taxes out of your pay check on your W-4 can you look at your taxes like an...

Hey yall, Im gona be getting married and moving out of my grandmothers house in the next 4 months and would like to know yalls thoughts on the pluses and minuses of different types of rental places. It is much easier to find affordable nice apartments but being a musician I dont want to be...

Asked my girl to be my wife and she said yes!!! :hyper: 4 months to plan the wedding!!! :help:

What is up with saying that people should agree to disagree? It bugs me like crazy! Its totally pointless! It makes sense to agree that a conclusion cant be reached at the moment and that you dont want to argue but why agree to disagree? If you agree do you say lets disagree to disagree? Why...

What kind of home stereo systems are y'all running? I am graduating college in about 6 months and I hope to get a legit stereo system that will sound good for watching movies and listening to loud music! :hyper: My budget will be somewhere between $2,000 and $3,000. Right now I am thinking...

I was looking at the specs of the JBL PRX715 and it has very similar low end performance to the SVT 8x10 both in frequency response, frequency range and dB levels. Why could one not replace their SVT frig with a Tech-21, an EQ and a JBL PRX715? JBL PRX715 Max SPL Output: 136 dB Frequency...

So, Im considering selling my guitar and bass amps and my pedal board and getting a Fractal FX II, a good quality floor monitor and doing some woodwork to create a Fractal Combo amp. The plan would be to create a rack mount tab on the floor monitor. This system would give me a speaker aimed...

What are some good ways to answer an interviewer if they ask you what your greatest weakness is? For example some weaknesses I have: I'm young and inexperienced. (I have more experience than most people my age though). I don't have a good short term memory. (For example, I'm bad with...

So, hopefully I'm going to be replacing my worn to bits 1989 300zx, with a shiny "new" 1991 300zx! It looks like its been very well taken care of so and has all of its service records (according to the ad). It has AC too! I have been driving a car with no AC or heat for 4 years now. I'm not gona...

So we played at a bar that provides sound and PA so our normal sound guy didnt come to the show. The sound system they have is very susceptible to feedback and we play to loud which makes it worse. In the middle of the last song on our set the sound guy jumps up on stage taps me on the...

My band just went to a studio and the engineer wanted to put a compressor between my guitar players guitar and amp. The song we were recording has some pretty major changes in dynamics and feel and the compressor was making the guitar sound to flat. When I asked the engineer to take it off...

So, my band is wanting to record another one of our songs. It is possible that it will end up on a local radio station so we want it to be the highest quality we can get. Anywho, a little while ago we took an evening and recorded the song ourselves. I did all of the engineering mic set up...

Played a gig this weekend, It was my bands best gig yet we were tighter and cleaner than we have ever been. The lead singer/rhythm guitar player was way to loud, we had to mic the drums even in the small room to keep up with his amp which was not in the system at all. Oh well, I will be...

Did my second gig this weekend, went better than the first! We had our own sound System and our own sound guy so we actually had a balanced mix and no feedback. :hyper: About 15 minutes before we started our rhythm guitar player couldnt get his amp to work and was starting to freak out! It...

So I was driving through a 4 way intersection, I had flashing yellows they had flashing reds. The road I was on was a 4 lane and I was in the left lane, traffic in the right lane was moving very slow I had slowed to about 35mph because of the flashing yellows. As I got into the intersection I...

Because its shaped like a woman. :bassist:

First gig is history. :bassist: Over all it went well, the stage was small but had a cool little platform that I could walk out on when playing my solos (and then sprint back to the mic trying not to trip on my cord to do BU Vocs). There was a pretty cool light show as well! We didn't have...

This Saturday I am playing my first non-PW gig! :bassist: Its at a small bar that doesn't usually have a crowd of its own but we should have a lot of friends coming. The show is from 9:00 - 12:00 pm and I have to play for the PW band at 8:30 the next morning lol, that will be interesting...

I listened to some country music and the lyrics made sense. :crying::crying:

What do yall think of sunglasses on stage in small dark bars? :cool: :) There are some songs my band does that I think sunglasses would be real cool and then there are some songs that are more party songs where I need to communicate with the crowd more and sunglasses would seem kinda weird.

Under what circumstances do you direct the audience to clap along with the music? When Rodrigo y Gabriela do it at a big show it is awesome, if there are five people drinking at a bar not paying much attention to the music it would just be awkward. Does your band try and get the audience...

Yesterday I was playing my guitar and it made a nasty sound like a cable going bad and then started making a weird clicking sound.:confused: I messed with the cable a bit and got it to stop but if I turned wrong it would make the same clicking noise (about 300 ms delay between the clicks). Im...

My band is doing a gig at a Mexican restaurant on Cinco de Mayo (my first gig outside of a church setting:bassist:). We created an event on FB, when is the best time to send invites out to our FB friends? Should I do it now or wait until the event is closer?

I want to start a deathpoprapgrungmetal band with prog and indie influences. What kind of chocolate should I get. We also want to include some post-jazzmetal influence if that maters.

Hey Yall my band just finished our demo :hyper: Its up on Soundcloud if y'all wouldn't mind giving it a listen.:cool: https://soundcloud.com/rcrb-1 Any constructive criticism would be awesome!

My band just finished recording a 3 song demo, we have about 2-2.5 hours of music ready to play. I think we are ready to go out and get some gigs! We play about 75% original music in sort of a 70's 80's rock/blues style. The lyrics are easy to hear, understand and relate to IMO, its very...

Reading the "were you cool in in HS" thread got me thinking about what I missed out on being home-schooled. In general the comments made me thankful that I was home-schooled. My entire pre-college education was home-school and it allowed me much more freedom to pursue things I was interested...

As an experiment I put a volume boost in front of my Hartke lh1000 head. My hope was that it would drive the tube and give me a little bit of tubey grit. I used an MXR 10 band eq for the volume boost. I tried it in both the active and passive inputs. The result was a pretty lame farty...

Is the direct output on a Hartke lh1000 before or after the fx loop? I want to run a volume pedal in the fx loop but need it to also control the DO output for swells.

Over the past year I have spent quite a bit of time learning theory but im not really sure where to go next. I understand scales, chord tones and harmony, I understand where modes come from (ive never really used them though). I have a basic understanding of harmonies (parallel 3rd and 6th a...

I am auditioning for a third band (I am currently in an originals blues/rock band and a church band). It is a covers band that does mostly classic/southern rock, country (yuck:crying:) and R&B. About half of the songs they sent me for the audition will take 10 min to learn, easy, and the rest...

I just joined an originals band that has no recordings, this is making it difficult for me to learn the songs. Next rehearsal I want to bring my computer and get a rough recording of the songs so I can listen to them over the week and not have to "re-learn" them every rehearsal. I want to get a...

My parents got me a MIDI keyboard for Christmas (USB connectivity, velocity sensitive, 49 keys) :hyper:. I plan on using it to make drum tracks, orchestral parts, and key, piano parts. Maybe try and learn keys well enough to play in a band setting. :ninja: Ive played around with it a bit, I...

The band that I recently joined is wanting to record a demo that we can give to venues that we would like to play at (restaurants, sports bars, BBQs, events ect). What do venues look for in a demo? Do we need a full stereo mix with levels perfect ect, or will a mono recording that just gives a...

Well I'm auditioning for two bands this week. One for bass the other for lead guitar.:bassist: I dont have any material to learn because both bands do mostly original music and dont have recordings so I'm just gona practice scales.:hmm: Anywho, any advice would be welcome and wish me luck!

So im wanting to get out and gig. Ive been playing in a PW band for a while now and I enjoy it but I want to get out and play music for musics sake and put my chops (lol, sure) to some use. :bassist: So anywho, Im wanting to put an add out on campus and on craigslist to see if I can find a...

So im really wanting to get a 5 string fretless that has 18mm-19mm string spacing. It seems that most of the basses that I like a lot have 16mm string spacing. (ibanez sr, warwick, schecter) My current bass is an Ibanez BTB 775 which I like a lot but Ibanez does not have a fretless version. I...

Over the past year I have put a lot of focus into learning theory learning to read chord sheets and learning to mesh with my PW band. pretty much took a break from metal (which used to be all i played). So, Ive been thinking im getting to be a pretty skilled player, I can play all sorts of...

I Spent some time on a fretless for the first time yesterday. I absolutely loved it :bassist: It was much easier than I thought it would be. I was able to just pick it up and play, I liked the way slap n' pop sounded on it just as much as a fretted bass if not more. love love loved it. But I...
