    How's your local music scene?

    Milwaukee, Wisconsin here. To be honest, in my opinion, the scene died awhile ago. It used to be overflowing with metal, pop-punk, and a little ska, and everyone used to work together. But, now, there's only one main band that gets all the attention in the pop-punk scene, a few scattered trendy...

    How to ID my string type.

    I know my local music store restrings all their basses with D'Addario Nickle Round Wounds. But GC might use different ones. They're almost certainly rounds, though.

    What's The Current Fender P/J Model?

    It's around 7 pounds, so it's nice and light. Nah, it's no more slippery than your standard nitro paint. Maybe a little bit so, but it's hardly noticeable. At this time, it only comes in black as far as I know. I'm sure there may be a custom colored one out there, though. It's an unusual...

    Haha yeah, but it plays like a dream, though. It's really nice for slapping, but it's really versatile overall.

    YOU on youtube.... Yes, please.

    Here's a video from the most recent band I was in (broken up in January) covering Jason Derulo's "Whatcha Say" with pictures from our final Christmas/New Years photoshoot. Oh the joys of being the only one with colored hair in the band..

    Advice on a P-Bass With "Skinny" Jazz Style Neck?

    What about a Fender Mark Hoppus Signature bass? It's a Jazz bass with P pickups. It may not be what you're looking for, but you never know. Just a thought. http://bass-guitars.musiciansfriend.com/product/Fender-Mark-Hoppus-Signature-Bass-Guitar?sku=510843

    Cheap Stage-worthy amplifier?

    I've never had any problems with my old Peavey Mark III head. It's from the 80's, but it's never given me a problem. With a metal band, I'm not sure. It's worth a try, though. I bought mine used from Music-Go-Round for like $160.

    Fender MIMs any good?

    I have a '94 MIM Fender P that I absolutely adore. I bought it used (and, sadly, abused) and it needed a big truss rod adjustment and my A-string still sits too high (but a capo cures that!) Besides those two things that have since been fixed, it is one of my go-to basses. It's got that...

    Weirdest place your band has practiced...

    When I was in my last band, our singer moved and we couldn't practice in his basement anymore. His brother owns a heating and air conditioning shop that he would let us practice in. We didn't practice in the actual shop, however. We practiced in the weight room. To get to this particular weight...

    Dunlop Strings - one word "Wow"

    Dunlop sponsors the band I'm in and I get 50% everything Dunlop. I'll have to pick a pair of these up for when I don't have the money to pick up a pair of Elixir's. Did you buy them online or in a store?

    What a steal!!.....not

    Under "Ebay Feedback" where he's got his reviews in red and blue, the words almost turn 3D if you scroll down and watch them haha. I too am confused about whether it's a Fender or not. It says Fender on the headstock, but he claims to have made the bass? Or are we need supposed to read that far...

    Dirt cheap budget basses

    My first bass ever was an Archer P-bass copy that I still have. It's a solid enough bass, it just needs another new pair of strings and probably some new pickups. Sure it doesn't have the Fender "grind" to it, but it plays nice enough.

    Amp advice required :)

    I have a Fender Rumble 60 I just use at home now. When I used it in previous bands, it was always loud enough for the most part. Now that I have it at home, I realized I could get an awesome tone out of it haha. I'd stick with combo amps for now until you need something bigger and know the tone...
