Question for the masses. Have a case where musician A (songwriter) and musicians B and C perform as a band at a venue. The songs are recorded and placed on YouTube. Musician A departs the band, and now included the videos as a representation of work by his new band (since he's carrying...

Looks like these may be in by the weekend! Given that, and since a the soldering iron is coming out anyway, is there anything else I should consider swapping out on my new (2013) MIM P-Bass while I have it opened up and am putting the new pups in? Thanks in advance!

Hey all, As you may or may not recall, I had asked about handling of band revenue in an earlier thread, and as advised, we had a band meeting and got everything hammered out, including an agreement since we were about to spend some coin in the studio. Long story short, we have agreed that...

Hey all, I'm a recent convert to flats - absoutely love them on all of my basses (and trying different brands on different instruments and seeing what sticks). So I am looking for a set specifically for my Music Man Stingray Classic 4-string. Any suggestions? Thanks!

Hey all, Both in my home studio (100 year old house with dubious wiring), and in some small bar gigs (with equally dubious wiring) I have had issues where my small PA (a pair of Kustom 50 watt speakers) pick up significant humming/etc. In the case of my home, it's definitely (or at least...

Hey all, just looking for some general best practices, accepted standard, etc. regarding revenue and original bands. The short background: Three piece with an occassional fourth, one member does all of the songwriting and composition, and these have been in place for a couple of years. Both...

Hey all! I have a few gigs coming up in NYC where there is zero backline - think bar sized, 50 ppl or so, in a rock band with an enthusiastic drummer and two guitars who tend to crank things up a bit. I've had no issue with my Hardke 3500 and 210XL, but it's heavy to haul into the city...

Hey all! I find myself in a weird position and wanted to tap into the collective awesomeness that is TalkBass for some advice. Several weeks ago I enquired about an open bassist position with an all-originals band - good following, excellent music (definitely radio friendly), etc. Played...

Just picked up an Ibanez 505 since.my band lays a.step and a half lower live vs our recordings, and the detuned four string was way too rattly. Given we have a gig in a few.days, transposing the songs to the 5 string.is.not A viable.short term option (though it is my long term plan). I...

Sorting out my pedal order, and before I start all of the fine tuning of the tone and tieing off cables, I was curious as to any thoughts on this specific order: Bass -> MarkBass Compressore -> Boss ODB-3 Overdrive [May also put either a Big Muff or Blowtorch in this slot] -> Zoom B2...

Assuming the stars align and whatnot, I will be joining a gigging band (originals, power pop type stuff). I currently own two basses - a MM Stingray and an Epiphone Les Paul special. The rub is that they tune everything down 1.5 steps when playing live (but some of my demo tracks that I...

Hey all, a quick question. I'm preparing to do a rehearsal with a band, and while they have provided the chord charts and MP3's of the songs I will be playing, they noted that they actually drop everything down a step and a half, so suggested that I learn the songs in standard tuning (which...

Hi! Probably a very noob question, but I just want to make sure I don't break anything :) I have a Hardke HA3500 amp head, a Hardke 2.5XL cab and a Hardke 115XL cab. The head has two 8 ohm speaker output ports, and each of the cabs has two ports - one labeled 8 ohm and one labeled...
