    Berry Oakley: Why Doesn't He Get More Respect

    I had lunch a few weeks ago at the H&H in downtown Macon. That's an incredible place to go if you are an ABB fan. There's a lot of ABB memorabilia on the walls. I always liked this painting there of Duane and Berry.

    Eden WTDI question

    Trying turning the gain down to 9:00 and master volume around 11:00. If that works, ease them back up a little.

    Best Live Bass Sounds You've Heard

    I saw Gov't Mule in 1996 at Liz Reed's in downtown Macon GA. Allen Woody was playing his SG through a very old looking Ampeg SVT and fridge. It was the ballsiest, dirty bass sound, and it was awesome. He played with a pick too. Second was Nikki Sixx believe it or not, on the Carnival of...

    Labella and MTD Kingston Saratoga 5

    I'm waiting on the arrival of my MTD Kingston Saratoga 5. I currently have LaBella Standard flats on my current bass. Anyone tried the medium flat 5 string set on a Saratoga? What did you think about them? Did they fit on the nut?

    Warwick Rockbass Corvette and strings

    Has anyone ever had a problem with flatwound strings on a Warwick Rockbass Corvette? From the nut to the tuning pegs, the strings seem to take quite a bend. Heavier gauge strings like La Bella flats might have difficulty making such a bend like that. Anyone out there use flats on a Warwick?

    Squier 50s Precision bridge cover

    Hello everyone, I am looking at purchasing the 51 style bridge cover for my Squier 50s Precision. Will this actually cover the bridge on this Squier? It's larger than the Fender bridges like on the Sting model. Anyone done this?

    La Bella Deep Talkin': Best. Strings. Ever.

    Will the La Bella 760FS set fit on an Epiphone Thunderbird? Will the nut need to be filed for the E string to fit?

    La Bella Jamersons & Thunderbirds

    Will the La Bella 760FS size work better since they are not as big as the Jamerson set? Are these maybe still too thick?

    I just got fired from the church band.

    Same with middle Georgia, but do you have church's in double-wide trailers? We've got plenty of those.

    What the heck are modes and why are they important?

    This article should help some... Link Removed Think of modes as the feeling, or the mood of a song. Different modes offer different feelings (dark, happy, upbeat, etc). This article also gives examples of different songs to illustrate that point. I've just begun learning modes, and...

    P bass direct to board...punch? articulation?

    Jimmy, what microphone do you use/recommend? I just recently started playing in our church's praise band. I play a passive bass into a passive DI box. My issue is the same as the original poster - no articulation in the notes. I play a Hartke 15 Kickback and love the sound that I get out of...

    La Bella Jamersons & Thunderbirds

    I have an Epiphone Thunderbird with D'Addario Chrome flats. I'd like to try a set of the James Jamerson La Bella strings, and was wondering if anyone has ever played this combination. Also, will these thicker strings fit in the nut?

    Ampeg 410HE vs. Carvin B410

    Does anyone have experience playing these cabs? I've owned the Ampeg 410HE a few years ago, and loved the sound. I thinking of buying it again, but I was wondering how close in tone the Carvin B410 is to it. Both are sealed, but the Carvin can be gotten in a 4-ohm model which I like. If the...

    Tone knob buzzing

    Last night I removed the back cover. There is a grey wire that leaves the tone pot, and connects to the jack where the cord is. If you touch that connection at the jack, the buzzing gets LOUD. I think I isolated where it is coming from, but I don't know how to stop it.

    Tone knob buzzing

    I have an Epiphone Thunderbird. If I turn the tone know all the way up, there is a bad buzz coming through the amp. If I turn it all the way down, it is dead silent. How can I fix this? Thank you.

    Carvin BR410 vs BR410N

    I'll bump this, because I'm thinking about either the BR410 or the 210 version. I also wonder if the BR410 sounds much like the Ampeg 410HE, both being sealed cabs.

    Modular rig recommendations

    Whoops. Lack of coffee this morning - I meant to type 2, 1x12 cabs. However, you made a good point. I might just need 1 cabinet in this situation. I can always add on later.

    Modular rig recommendations

    I've gotten back into playing after a 5 year hiatus. I received a new Acoustic B200 combo yesterday. It's buzzing badly, so I'm sending it back. I also realized this is heavier than I want to mess with. I've decided on something more modular, maybe two 2x12 cabs with a simple-to-use amp...
