I want to do some songwriting, so I picked up a ukulele to experiment with chord progressions without getting guitar cooties on me, and because four is a much more reasonable number of strings for an instrument. So I picked up a ukulele method book, and I don't quite understand the notation...

I have a Genz Benz Contour 500-115T (snagged during the fire sale early this year), and my power LED isn't lighting up when I switch it on. The amp seems to be working just fine, and it sounds great, but no LED, and it lit up properly before. Should I be concerned? What would cause this...

I have a nice 4" strap. There's a wide part and a narrow part, and the narrow part fits into one of a number of slots, presumably for adjustment. There's a hole for the strap button in the wide part, and another in the narrow part. Which goes in front? Does the wide part attach to the button...

I'm looking at bass ukuleles, and I'm noticing that I can get my hands on a baritone ukulele for a lot less. The tuning for those seems to be DGBE. Has anyone had any success (changing strings, perhaps?) in tuning them EADG? Or even DGCF or ADGC? Also, what's the best ukulele for metal?

My, there certainly are a lot of effects. So many that I'm a little overwhelmed. I think I've managed to learn what a good bass is, and whose amps and cabs are better than whose, and even instrument cables. I'm a little at sea about effects, though, and about which ones work well with a bass...

Jazz has "standards." Blues has "standards." The Great American Songbook has "standards." Classical has "the repertory." Rock and the popular genres derived from it have "covers," and bands who play them are considered less artistically valid than bands who write their own material. Why...

(I'm assuming that this is the right forum, since this isn't actually about the pickups; apologies if that's not right.) I see that removal of the treble pickup cover on the Rickenbacker 4003, 4001, and similar is a thing. Conversely, I see that Lemmy had them install a 4003 pickup cover on...

I've been practicing for a couple of hours after work lately, and I spent about four hours on and off yesterday working on some new songs. Today, I woke up with a sore hand, and had to stop playing after just a few minutes. It's worst at the base of my thumb (on the palm side) and around my...
