    Buying from Fender vs. Owner vs. Dealer?

    I've been playing for a while with the same cheap bass, and I've decided it's time to take a leap of faith and buy a new bass. I have set my eyes on a Fender Olympic White American P-Bass, but will take any American P as long as the price is within my range. However, considering that Fender has...

    Consistent sound

    I've had trouble playing notes consistently, especially in some songs where I just keep hitting a deep bass note over and over again. One pluck it's there, the next it disappears. Any way or good practice that can help fix this problem? It's bugging me a lot, only started happening recently....

    2/3 fingers "stick"

    I don't know of this is a problem, but I noticed that when I play, my 2nd and 3rd fingers "stick" together on the fretboard, whether my 2nd or 3rd finger frets. Is there a fix to this, and is it a bad thing? I don't have a teacher, and I can only look to you guys for help... :/

    Focusrite Saffire PRO 24DSP?

    I am confused with this component. What exactly is it: preamp, AD/DAC, what?? I read on the Focusrite website, things about it being a preamp, a compressor, an interface, ADC/DAC, and I only need a preamp for recording. I found this being a great component, but I need to know what I'm buying...

    Pinky Excercise?

    I had a problem with my left hand not being strong enough to fret far distances. A while back, I did the spider every day for 30 minutes and it really helped my 1st, 2nd, and 3rd fingers a lot! However, my pinky still bends and is stiff. Are there any good exercises for pinky?

    Mic Connection

    I am thinking of getting a Shure SM-57 or 58. However, it has an XLR and I am not good with recording setups, I only produce. So, I was wondering, what is the best and cheapest way to setup a mic? I want it linked to a DAW straight from the mic, if possible. At least, it would be the easiest for me.

    Best Way To Play Chords?

    I was just thinking about this, as I play some chords in a few songs, and was wondering if there are any different ways, or rights and wrongs to playing chords on a bass. Every time I seem to play chords I play in a weird, tensed up way (left hand is tense, right hand is a bit awkward). Single...

    Guitar wood?

    I've heard this about acoustic and classical guitars, but do you need to take care of your bass temperature wise? My brother and I always jam in our garage (most space) and he never leaves his electric there. However, it is REALLY cold there (40ish Fahrenheit) My bass is a Fender '01 Precision...
