    Presonus Eureka.... or

    I did not even think of checking eBay. I am still waiting on a repair estimate. I only assumed $150. I never actually got to sit down and listen to it. I was given the broken unit and it just kind of sat in the original packaging in my closet and I just forgot about it. I am only now starting to...

    Presonus Eureka.... or

    I would be interested in buying something new if I opt out of repairing the Eureka. I never got to use the Presonus before so I do not know how it would compare to pedals and vice versa.

    Presonus Eureka.... or

    Hello! I have recently acquired a Presonus Eureka that is no longer working properly. I have contacted Presonus about a price to repair it but it left me wondering... If the product costs, say $150.00 to repair, would it be worth just buying something new at this point? My intent on the Eureka...

    Bass with both Active and Passive Pups

    My bass does have the option to switch (which I had no idea when I purchased it) and discovered that volume drop when I noticed I had a pull knob. lol This information is perfect. I have seen specs that say both, the passive pups and active electronics as well as both active. My...

    Bass with both Active and Passive Pups

    As the title suggests, I am inquiring about a bass that can function as active and passive. I tried to do a search but seem to find more about Active vs Passive but not as much about both in one. I know the American Fender Deluxe Jazz bass has a switch on it that allows a person to switch...

    What do you guys think of Rocksmith?

    I like it a lot. Did it teach me bass? No, I have been playing for a while. Did it teach me guitar? Not really but it has been very helpful in the journey of the six strings. Should it be the only means of learning? Not at all. I can play the songs as they happen (on bass) but I cannot for the...

    How do you explain what a bass is to someone?

    Bass is the lower register of the audio frequencies that we can hear as humans. Below 60Hz is sub-bass. About 20hz is the lowest the human ear can detect... Any really in and below that area is more likely to be felt then heard. 32-512Hz is about the range a bass player would be playing...

    Serious Electric Bass by Joel Di Bartolo

    I too just recently purchased this book. I had spent a decent amount of time searching the internet for bass books and this one looked promising. I read the reviews and it even further persuaded me to make the investment. My initial thought was: "HEY! I wanna be a SERIOUS bass player!" Found out...

    Tuning by ear...

    I always use a tuner to get the first note. Then I tune using harmonics as to make sure that one string matches perfect with others. I think part of it is Just the pure pleasure behind listening to the Sounds. Feeling the sounds rather. When I'm the slightest bit off I notice the different...

    Rocksmith taught me bass. Now I need your help!

    Actually, rocksmith offers many different lessons on techniques from slides, hammer ons, right hand finger techniques, etc. It does work with scales and making way around the fretboard. Has a session mode for "jamming" along with playing some songs. Granted, it's a slow way to Learn songs but...

    memorizing the fretboard???

    You are correct. What I should have said was: "Some people function better knowing Just the pattern, others may function better knowing it more in-depth " or something like that. Either way, I like patterns. And as you stated with those quotes was essentially things I was considering in my...

    memorizing the fretboard???

    Patterns are useful. Patterns can be more useful when there is an understanding of why that pattern exists. To say knowing patterns is wasteful or to not know any patterns is Just fine are both silly ideas. (And I think we can all agree on it) To simply know a pattern as a shape can be...

    Rocksmith taught me bass. Now I need your help!

    Master mode has made me realize that despite 99-100% completion of a song... I have no idea what I was actually playing. So in due time, it will eventually make it to memory. Just do not be disappointed if you are totally clueless when this happens. I never had a personal bass teacher but...

    Thank You

    Just by going to seek counsel speaks of your character. As someone who lacks confidence may lack the ability to seek help. Anxiety and a lack of confidence can be restrictive. Talk to yourself in the mirror and out loud to yourself. I noticed a lot of people may find this weird and never try it...

    New Debat from the Ninja: Who would win Superman vs Thor?
