About to order a dual tier keyboard stand, and I need a solid laptop attachment. The frame is made of square tubing, so the attachment must be also. Any suggestions?

$500 gallien krueger 115 combo amp (200 solid state watts) or a $500 peavey TNT 115 combo amp (500 solid state watts) may be some options to consider. I love my GK combo

Are you using a powered mic or a stage mic to record?

Change those strings anyway because elixirs are turrible

Yeah, did you even meet the vocalist before your gig?

I bought my EBMM bongo online from gc 2 years ago. I used my $250 off coupon along with the 25% off sale and saved some big cash! If it was lacking in some way I could have just returned it. I've purchased roughly 90% of my gear online and plan to keep it that way. If I get my wallet out...

That'd be an excellent purchase for a beginner IMO

My home was broken into this spring. The thieves made off with my new laptop and enormous television. I was extremely lucky they didn't look into my music room upstairs, which contains a small fortune of gear. I had an ADT system installed about a week after the break in, and an exterminator...

If I tune up before playing the strings through a bit, they get a bit flat when I've properly warmed them(and myself) up. What you mentioned seems to be the polar opposite of this.

One specific thing I do, is surely annoying even to myself when I notice it. When I'm seeing a live band in a bar, drinks are sometimes served to me rapidly and I become very critical of every little thing they do. I make comments on how a certain riff is both ripped off AND performed poorly...

the link didn't work

I played one of those new Peavey's you're talking about, and it sounds great! Plus it had the cool LED on it. I'm planning on buying one for a christmas present to myself. It's the best 15" combo amp I've played in that price range. A lot of people will recommend used gear, but I think...

I'm not sure about older models maybe having a different case, but there is no possibility of a ray fitting in my bongo case. It fits the bongo's unique shape very snug

my 2009 Bongo 4 has a logo on it

My old roommate's cat pissed all over my first cab. It still has this nasty piss stain on it though I've cleaned it thoroughly several times. Be warned

People are silly for the dubstep sound right now. Enjoy it while you can

I think that a Jazz Bass has the most appeal in our area.

my Vic Bailey acoustic is named "Boomer". my black Bongo HH is named "Venom"

If you're thinking about moving in the near future then you should rent for now. Owning a home is nice since you aren't "throwing away" money on rent, but renting is great for someone who isn't locked down to a certain neighborhood or city. If you buy a home and then move away, renting it out...

Crayola would say sky blue

I pee into the window wash and skip the bathroom entirely

I wouldn't expect everyone to know me, just saying it'd be nice to be able to check out the gear in a music store without employees being rude to, or ignoring me.

This stuff happens everywhere, not just small independent stores. I've spent several thousand dollars at my local Guitar Center this year and a few employees know me by name. Even with my frequent appearances and purchases, I still get the snub from time to time. Me and a buddy decided...

Once I looked out onto a bored crowd, so we went into the Aphex Twin song I'd told my friends we needed to cover. Some people liked it, most probably hated it, but it was a definite attention getter

If you ask more specific questions, the members of Talkbass are are absurdly helpful

I'm not into Ibanez, but Ibanez owners seem to love them. the 505 is the fancier of the two, you'd probably really dig it after having only your Squier. My first bass was also a Squier, I sold it when I got my 2 fancy basses. I kinda missed it, so I got a new fretless version of that beat up...

play bass... a lot

M-Audio Fasttrack Pro would be great for you. I have one I use with Ableton Live on my pc for the last 2 years.

You really have to dig now to find good music. Radio has changed a lot since we were 15, it's much more focused on the pop. The internet is the real radio now, and you have access to a huge amount of music, most of it is terrible. I don't seek out new music very often, because I already...

I had a terrible argument with my ex once in a friends driveway next to a busy street. She threw a handful of rocks at me and the hit a car passing by. They turned around and I gave them the $80 I had in my pocket so they wouldn't call the police. It was all very sophisticated

VERY silver surfer

That's an interesting idea, but do you think lights reflecting off of your bass may get VERY bright and inconvenient?

The Hal Leonard and Ed Friedland books are very helpful. What helped me learn the best was reading and playing sheet music of a few songs I already knew very well by ear. I think reading and playing music I knew and enjoyed already helped cut back on the "frustration of learning".

I wanted to own a fretless, and bought a Squier Jazz back in March. It didn't cost much, and sounds great playing at home.

what do you mean by speaker cable? what are you connecting?

I agree that soundchecks can be irritating and frustrating. I don't agree that they are useless. I think we can all agree that TBers love to jump on a bandwagon of being condescending and repeat others several times over when they have an opportunity to sound even a little bit elite.

that sounds nice when you say it like that, but are YOU going to use them? I keep Ernie Balls for my backups. They're quality and also affordable

I began with piano, then trombone. Currently I rock my own electronic project leading with bass and playing the keyboard, drums, and many devices with knobs that are their own respective instruments

i haven't tried these strings and don't intend to. I'm also not one for lottery tickets, but I think you'd probably be better served to try some la bella's at 30x the price than to spend the time stringing up your bass with these abominations. The brand name is First Act, which is apparently...

I'm making a grand staff on my dry erase board with electrical tape
