I am just getting back into playing after not having really touched an instrument for a couple years. I have discovered that I have two basses that have the same active ESP pickup set in them and both of them will drop out entirely. I can get roughly 5 minutes out of them and then nothing...

Hey so I posted some covers of a handful of songs onto soundcloud https://soundcloud.com/5stringthunder and I was wondering if y'all had any feedback on them. I did a RATM, RHCP, Velvet Revolver covers and one original from my band. Feedback on anything is welcome. The RATM and Velvet Revolver...

I've seen people put there tuners in all sorts of places, the beginning, the middle, and the end. Where do you put yours and why? Personally, I like mine at the beginning because that's the cleanest signal that it's going to get to ensure the best tuning. I also functions as a mute, which is...

So, I'm out of projects and had an idea. My guitarist has an epiphone SG bass (not sure the model) that's a 30.5" scale that he's looking to get rid of for cheap. Would it be possible to turn it into a baritone guitar, similar to the fender bass vi? Obviously it would need new everything. I...

My band just played its first show since March with a new singer and all new material. I didn't realize how much I missed it until I got up there. We killed, we sounded great, played great, really right, good crowd, good pay. I don't see how people don't want to do this. Just wanted to share...

So, I'm a bass player by blood but do like to dabble on the guitar and do take both guitar and bass lessons. I'm waiting for a guitar lesson and pull out my les Paul to tune it because I put fresh strings on it this morning and it's been in my truck all day. This lady sitting near me looks up...

So, my band, the results, just put out our first demo. We did everything ourselves, so it's a little rough. We're still working on the mixing and we just re-tracked vocals today and the drums need to be re-done and I'll probably the-do my bass. But this is what we have so far. We're trying to...

I'm trying to match Nolly's, of Periphery; tone from this video http://youtu.be/HCp8vE1ZT0g Of Make Total Destroy. I know he uses a Darkglass B7k modeled in an AX-FX with the SVT emulation. I'm using an Avid 11 Rack and have come close using the tube screamer emulation and SVT emulation in the...

My band has a good sized mixer that lives at our rehearsal space. But I would like to start recording my own stuff. I need at least 2 (preferably 4) and USB connectivity. I'm looking to spend around $150, give or take $20 or so. I've been looking at the Berhinger XYNEX series, I know Berhinger...

I'm looking to build this: Invalid Link Removed dual footswitch to toggle between the patches on my Avid 11R. I'm wanting to put two momentary switches in it, preferably with two lugs on each switch. I found this: Invalid Link Removed And it seems to fit the bill, is this a solid switch? I'm...

So, I'm in high school, my whole band is, and every year the school throws a big homecoming party for alumni and parents and always has a band play (Eli Young played last year). For the last 15 years it has been a country act and this year they got Foreigner to come play (don't ask me how). When...

I'm looking to build a power amp. Does anyone have any advice/tips/experience they would be willing to share. I would like to be fairly big, at least 600w at 4 ohms. Thanks.

Does anybody out there use this for bass? I'm looking into one and haven't been able to find anything discuss it's bass modeling except that it exists. I plan on using my current head as a power amp and into my cabs. So live I wouldn't be DIing it but I can see where I would like to in the...

Every musician has had a bad spun guy at some point in time. If you say you haven't then you're either lying to yourself or just dumb. And we all know how those stories go. But do you guys that also do FOH/stage monitors have any awful band stories?

I need a pedal to mute my signal at the end of my chain for when I'm switching basses. Does anyone know of an existing one or any schematics in how to wire one?

I guess this goes here. I want to have my head and board in one unit to move, but I want to be able to pull my board out and put it on the floor in front of me. Are there any shelves that come out easily, as in without a screw driver? Also my head is a Fender Rumble 350 that is of an odd size so...

I found one of these at my local music shop and saw this thing on the head. It appears that it opens, but the one I played through did not. My best guess is that it's some sort f vent, because it's permeable. Anyone know what this is?

Any recommendations on inexpensive interfaces. I', not looking to spend over about $100 and want at least two ins. Thanks.

Before you skip this: I'm no asking if it can be done or how it will change tone. What I'm asking is how to pull it off. I have the need to jump between guitar and bass during shows. I want to run my same bass rig for bass, and for guitar run the same pedal board into a different head, into the...

I would like to record onto the computer (I've been using an iPad with an iRig into garage band) and I'm curious as to whether or not I can use a DI box as an audio interface? Before I've run my signal straight into the mic input on the computer and it sounded like I was using a potato. So can I...

Can I get a djent tone out of a sansamp bddi? I'm looking for a tone similar to Nolly's from Periphery. I know the sansamp does an overdriven Ampeg tone well, but the important question is: will it djent?

I know that every guitarist (almost) uses Axe-fx now. What do y'all think of em for bass?

So I decided to turn my old Ibanez GSR200 into a fretless. Here's some updates:

I'm looking to rip the frets out of a bass and I have a couple questions: -can I fill the slots with epoxy or wood filler instead of veneer strips? -what's the best was to remove inlays? -what's the best way to fill the inlay holes after they've been removed so that it appears as though they...

Can anyone recommend a good 5 string fretless on a budget under $1000?

I use Ernie ball power slinky 5 string set 50-135 round wounds on my fretted basses. Are there any flat wound strings that are the same sizes for my fretless?

I play in a prog/djent metal band. I would like to be able to get some super low sub bass. Not necessarily dubstep/house music sub but I want everyone to be able to feel the bass and to get the rafter shaking a little bit. I'm currently running ESP 5 string basses through a boss ODB-3 pedal, a...

I know that for front of house there should be no issues running Bass->DI box->sound board->front of house speakers/monitors. But is there any problem with this? Besides not having a rig behind you. Is there any problem just using the monitors only for stage sound? If this was already a...
