I put an ad in my area a few months ago. I got a call from a guy interested in vocals. He seemed really on edge and breathing really hard.

I recently got kicked out of my band. And I've wanted to do a project of my own for awhile where I have a little more creative input. But I can't find any musicians in my Area. I've made business cards, handed them out at concerts (respectively) and put an add on all local musician forums on...

I have to dig...

My bass tone is Gross when playing in my band. My guitarist has Great tone but it's so thick and has so much of the low end I have to make up with it in my tone so I have my Bass scooped and My Mids Boosted. I try to keep the thick Grindy tone I usually have but It doesn't bleed through when...

2/3rds Of my band is straight edge people who never touched a drug or have any criminal charges. The drummer is #3. He always came into practice with some crazy ass story about what he did during the week. he once told me about how him and his brother broke into an abandon synagogue, with a...

I use a Fender Modern Player Jaguar, it is asian made but very well made as far as asian made basses go. It never wants to stay setup. The truss rod is also very difficult to turn when I need it to. Any tips on how to tackle this problem?

Haven't you ever wondered why wouldn't gear makers make their product to the intelligence of a musician or at least a Drummer? I mean come on, I don't have time for a 36 band EQ. Why shouldn't it just do it itself?

I usually play with ernie ball's or rotosounds, So when they cobalt strings came out I tried out a new pair. They were great until they went dead after a month and shredded my plucking fingers. has this happened to anyone else?

What's the point of it?

I've known that he modified his own bass to be fretless to give it more of a jazz tone. Then I heard of Flea From the Red Hot Chilli Peppers did the same thing but ruined his bass. What could he have done differently that made it sound so wrong?

I played in a band with a few guys I knew sparingly. They wanted to play in a metal band but never established what subgenre. Whatever it was he wanted me to tune my bass down, And get a load of this guy. He told me to tune to A minor. And I was like how the hell do I tune to a chord? Then I got...
