I believe I have the "Goldline" GK Cab. The woofers are gold and so is the GK logo. It wasn't as expensive as the rest of the cabs so Im pretty sure its the "budget" line lol. Thanks for the help everyone.

Ah, I forgot to add what bass I use. One of the most important parts! I have a Fender American Standard Jazz Bass (primary), Musicman Ray 34, and Geddy Lee Jazz Bass. The Musicman I hardly ever use anymore. I've been using Ernie Ball Round Wound Bass Strings (45-105 gauge) on all of...

Hey guys and girls... Here's my current setup.. I play with an Alternative/Classic Rock/Hard Rock cover band (soon to be writing some originals too) and we play everything a half step down, unless it's originally that way already (D# tuning) to better suite our vocalists range. We have a...

Looking for some places to get the lowest prices on vinyl stickers, 1" buttons, and or those silicone wristbands for my band. Not looking to spend a ton of money being we'll be giving these out for promo purposes and not selling them this time. Any help would be awesome. Thanks Guys!

Don't know if this is the right area or not but I need some help. Playing a last minute fill in for a band this weekend and I don't have time to memorize all the songs. Instead of using a music stand and shuffling papers around is there an app for the iPad that I can use to put my tabs and song...

Well thanks to my tax return, I can get a new Fender American Special Jazz Bass. I'm going for the Candy Apple Red with the black pickguard. I think it looks pretty sweet, and the one I played at the local guitar center had an amazing tone and felt great. I'm going to order it online...

I've always used the mic-in for pro tools for my instrument recording and it works well. What about running a direct box and running the xlr into it and a 1/4 out with a 1/8 adapter on the end to fit my mic-in.

What kind of interface are you guys suggesting? I don't want to break the bank, but I don't want something crappy either. I obviously need the mic into my computer in order to add vocals to songs I've already recorded. Right now for the guitars and Bass I've used a 1/4 to 1/8 adapter to...

I was wondering if I bought an XLR to 1/8" mic cable, or one of the XLR to USB cables out there, if I can use my Seinheiser E835 vocal mic to record vocals on my computer with pro tools? Thanks guys.

Ok, then second question is where would be a good place to search for used gear? I'm a little skeptical about buying from ebay or craigslist as I have no idea what those people did with that bass before they put it up for sale., (changed pickups, etc.) Any way to tell if it has all the...

I see two different kind of Fender Standard Jazz Bass's which strike my liking... The cheaper, which looks the same, but I believe is made overseas, is around $600? while the American Standard Jazz is about $1000. Can anyone tell me the differences and if it's worth the extra $400 for the...

This is a great help. I hadn't heard of the 355 until you mentioned it here. I think the 90 would be enough, but for $100 more I could get the 355 and know that it would be enough plus more. Are both pedals pretty easy to use as far as changing tones on stage between songs/during songs...

Hey guys, My current setup: Musicman Ray34 4-String Ampeg PF-500 Amp Head GK 4x10 Cab. I play as part of a Classic Rock/Alternative Rock band. We do mostly covers. We have one guitarist, I'm the bassist, a drummer and a vocalist. We're established and seem to be doing well so far...

Flat as in like a dead horrible tone. Like what old strings would sound like. These are new strings though and sound fine on my Fender Rumble 75 practice amp. So I know it's my live rig that's the issue.

So excuse my newbieness in this question, but should I set the EQ to post or pre? I'm not sure what the difference is? Thanks for the reply.

The loudness was only part of the problem. What you could hear was flat though. The crossover could be an issue. Thanks for bringing that up, as I'll check that out as well. Just changed the strings so I can rule that one out. I should of mentioned that. The slight overdrive...

My Gear is as follows: Musicman Ray34 4-String Bass Ampeg PF-500 Head GK 4X10 Cab Tuning Pedal Line 6 Wireless I run the PF-500 head to my cab and also run the XLR output from it to the PA system which directs my low frequency sound to our subwoofers with the built in crossover on our...

I hope this is still the case.

Ugh. I really hope my cover band that plays a couple gigs a month on a weekend isn't gonna kill my opportunity at a job.

jaywa, really? I know someone who works there that is in a band, and wouldn't lie about it to them. I'll just be up front with them and tell them I am in a band that gigs once or twice a month. If they don't like it, it's their loss (I won't say that to them though).

Hey guys, I filled out an online application and passed the pre-employment test online for the local Guitar Center. Within 25 minutes I got an e-mail saying that based on my answers of the assessment, they invited me to complete a full application on their website. I completed the...

Hey guys, I was wondering if you'd critique my first ever solo project. I posted a demo of an intro instrumental song. First time recording with Pro Tools, and with Midi Drums and Keys. I just bought a guitar yesterday, so I'm going to be redoing the guitar tracks when I get a little...

The hydration solution seems to make a lot of sense. I was working hard all day moving our PA system from my guitarists house to the bar we were playing at, setting up, etc. All I drank was Pepsi in the afternoon and then I have a couple of beers while playing. Makes perfect sense that I'd be...

That first song would be good to make passionate love to. Haha! Reminds me of porno music! Nothing wrong with that though. In all seriousness, it's great recordings and you did a great job man. I was thinking of doing my own solo album once I learn ryhthm guitar. Then I'm gonna try to...

Thanks for all the responses guys. I'm really hoping it's not anything major. Jim 11895, sounds like the exact thing happened to us both. I freaked out cause I couldnt open my left hand and like you said, had to pry my fingers off the strings. I'm gonna try the exercises and maybe get my...

Ok, this sounds weird, and I really have no idea where to put this on here. Was playing a gig a few weeks back. In the 3rd set, my left hand (fret hand) wouldn't open. What I mean is it felt locked shut, and I had a heck of a time changes strings and notes on the fretboard for a few...

I used the search, and really didn't find anything that relates to me and my equipment. Was wondering if I could get some help. I really want to make some bass covers for youtube. My setup in my computer room includes: Fender Rumble 75 combo bass amp iMac Computer Cables, 1/4 to...

For individual sound checks I'll just play dont stop believin or a bass lead to a song that my band isn't playing that night. As a band, we play Joel Siriani's "summer song" as soon as we take the stage for the night. A great song for the sound guy to get correct levels on our instruments and...

I have a PF500 that I use for hard rock, and love it. It packs a huge thump when using the "Ultra Lo" setting, or just cranking up the bass.

I had my bass setup in March. (Musicman Ray 34 4-String). The tech was very knowledgeable, and has lots of background in music and stringed instruments and told me the wood used on the Ray 34 line is absolutely terrible. He got the instrument setup for me at the time and eliminated the fret...

I have a Fender Squier P-Bass which I learned on. I just use it as a backup amp right now, as the input jack seems to be coming loose and the sound is just muddy on it. Should I upgrade the pickups, replace the input jack and have it setup, or should I just sell it to a beginner and buy a...

I guess this could of went in the Amp forums too, but I feel this pertains with the active on board preamp of my bass as well, and I notice it mostly during live shows. I have an Ernie Ball Ray 34 Bass with the active preamp on board (the low, mid, treble knobs). I usually keep these right...

My manual says 100ma 9V DC + to - Power Supply...

The Line 6 DC1 has terrible reviews, and my friend got one and it broke pretty fast, two of them. I got this.. Works great with my X2 wireless... You can't beat the price at $10 either. If you look at your X2 manual, you'll see this adapter has the same exact specs. Oh, and the...

I mostly play in 1/2 step down tuning, with a couple songs Drop D in my band. I've found that the Ernie Ball Hybrid Slinkies I'm using now (Medium Gauge) are a little flimsy in these tunings. Would going to a heavy gauge help? Also any other suggestions on strings and gauges for these...

Might be a dumb question, but I haven't played my Ampeg PF-500 with the line out (XLR) yet. When I connect the line-out with the XLR to a sound system, will I still get sound from my cab (I have 1/4 out to my cab)? I'd like to use my cab as an on stage monitor behind me and still plug...

Thanks. So a 300 or 600ma would be ok as well? Cause I have those already. I just don't want to kill a new wireless system by overloading it. Thanks for the help.

Does anyone else have other suggestions for a power adapter? My owners manual says 9V DC 100mA Alkaline Battery OR PSA120 type adapter. I can't seem to find a 100mA adapter. I found 250, 800, 500, 600, 9V adapters... Thanks!

Wow you guys are great! Thank you for all of the responses. You've been a huge help and the suggestions and advice are all great.

Ah! That's what that is for on my ampeg pf-500 head!!! I never knew that. I shouldn't be using that all the time right? Or can I through an entire song?
