    Ibanez talman initial review.

    Not a true review, since I just messed around a bit. Didn't get all the specs. I'll start with the cons Stack knob is deceiving. It seemed to be a volume and 3 band eq, though the clerk said it was a volume with PU blend, and a hi/lo eq. If clerk was wrong, no PU selection and it would be odd...

    5 string P pickup question.

    Sorry if this has been asked before. I saw a really nice 5 string p/j today. I noticed the p pickup was picking up the B and E on the split closer to the neck, and the ADG was on the split closer to the bridge. I always thought the original split pickup was designed with the E and A forward, and...

    NAD 2/20, NBD 3/14

    I have been wanting a MIA fender jazz and was toying with the idea of a fretless. But thats just a pipedream. anyhow, I was determined to use some of my tax return for a practice amp. I've got the nice GK with a 410 cab that I leave at church, and is impractical to haul back and forth in my...

    To be young again...

    I got home from work last night and the kid across the street had his garage door open. I got out and heard a horrible rendition of Nirvana's come as you are. So I walked over to check it out. His friend had got a cheap strat copy and a decent line6 amp and was teaching him some stuff. He asked...

    Aquariums

    I've seen a few other people with fish in their avitars. Wondering how many of you are into aquaria. I've been fishkeeping for about 15 years now. Currently, my only setup is a planted 10g with amazon swords, ludwigia, crypts and hairgrass. Only fish a 7 neons, and a few khuli loaches. I'll be...

    Double Bass My first attempt

    In my bio in the introductions forum, I stated I had gotten a carruthers sub-1 with a bow (german). I had only recently started playing BG, and had never played anything fretless, let alone arco. I had about a week to practice, and I'm sure I was doing a lot wrong. Can ever see where I made a...

    Double Bass Majorly upset

    Soooooooo, after practice I was leaving church with my sub-1 EUB and the strap on the case broke. Bass fell flat on the ground. Initial inspection seemed like it was ok. Went to tune it the next day before the service and it was a bit flat. So I tune up a smidge and CRACK! headstock is cracked...

A few years ago my wife and I started attending a wonderful church in Lathrop, CA. There was a need for a drummer, and...
