I found that a Dan Electro short scale bass neck (30 inch scale) had the same size neck pocket as a strat woul have. I made a bridge plate by bending a piece of sheet metal and mounted a '51 P-Bass pickup Like a tele brdige pic up and a Dan Electro lip stick in the neck. It work out well. Just...

I have posted this before, but thought it fit the thread. My original concept was inspired by a Tele build post by a member, Darkhorse. I was originally going to use a Fender Bronco bass neck on a Tele body, but was concerned about neck dive using that type of body. Then one day, I was looking...

The bass you ordered is the same as the one I bought two years ago. You should not have any issues with the B string. I have found anything over a .130 B is hard to string through the body, it's a really tight fit. I have been stringing mine through the bridge and it works just fine. The B...

That's a good looking bass. How does it feel and sound?

I have been using an Electro-Voice ELP-112P as a bass monitor for a couple of months. I bought the powered cab used for $350 in brand new condition. I got it to use with my Pre-Sonus Studio-Live mixer, but found it was great as a bass cab. I use active basses, either a Peavey Cirrus Five string...

A band called death. Rockumentary and family love story, A Band Called Death chronicles what happened almost three decades later, when a dusty 1974 demo tape made its way out of the attic.

Great timing to find this thread. I had problems at a venue I had never set up our equipment at before this weekend. We were getting shocked by the microphones, had buzzing coming from the DI output of my SWR amp, lot's of issues. I read through most of the links and post here. Did a little more...

I could be wrong, but I recall an interview years ago where he stated he was using Marshall tube guitar heads with a custom 4x12 cab for bass.

My guess, take a look at where you are contacting the pick on the string as you pluck. Are you closer to the bridge on the active basses and further away from the bridge on your active basses? I noticed this after years of playing on my 24 fret basses when I started using a 21 fret bass. The...

Nice bass. These are really good playing basses. Do you know the year and country of manufacture?

My first thought was that you were in two totally different situations. In the first, it seems the band was out of ideas and were auditioning you as some sort of muse to stimulate new sounds for them. In the second you were responding to what the other two guys were already doing. Ask me to...

The pre amp by itself was not very impressive to me, but that powered cab was quite a beast when I got mine back in the late 1980's. I quickly replaced the preamp with a GK 250 MB preamp section and used the powered cab. I ended up leaving mine at a rehearsal space and lost it, but that's...

I've been watching this thread since it started and this is what you guys motivated me to do. Not sure if this fits the thread, but I got a lot of inspiration from all of you, so here goes... My original concept was inspired by a Tele build post by a member, Darkhorse. I was originally going...

It seems easy, but I have had troubles as well. First check your file size usually 1024 x 728 or something. If they are too big you get an erro telling you the limit of teh file size and need to use some type of photo editing to re-size to fit requirements. Even then you have a limit to how...

Pretty much what bassman said, I type too slow......

I first heard the term in reference to octave pedals. In that case the tracking was how well the pedal would continuously "listen" to the original signal from the bass to create an octave output. When they don't track well the sound of the octave, created by the pedal gets "glitchy". When it...

I got Rocksmith for my wife to learn to play guitar. She has been playing drums and singing in bands for over 20 years, but wanted to get out from behind the drums into more of a lead vocalist role. She wanted to learn guitar to have something else to do when she wasn't singing. She, and the...

Change: subtract old value from new value. Example: You had 5 books, but now have 7. The change is: 7-5 = 2. Percentage Change: show that as a percent of the old value ... so divide by the old value and make it a percentage: So the percentage change from 5 to 7 is: 2/5 = 0.4 = 40%...

Most likely you are hearing the string vibrating on the "other" side of the neck, between the nut and where you are fretting the note. This will usually not be heard through the output to your amp, but can be heard acoustically while playing.

I have two drummers in our band. The primary drummer suffers from inconsistant tempos, the other is like a human time clock, usually rock solid. The biggest problem is that the drummer that has issues likes to throw me under the bus and say he was just following in with the bass. I have found...

I use a combination of anything that works. I will start by just listening and see if I can figure it out. Chord charts will be my next resouce, then tab. I find a lot of errors in on-line bass tabs, but they will get you in the neighborhood most the time. Transcription software helps also to...

This should get you close to what you want. Just play the root of each chord. It's in F#. Learn it there then move the whole thing to C if you need to. Invalid Link Removed

Sorry if this has been posted before, I had never seen it and could not believe someone would consider buying it.

I like it. Exactly what I'd want, but as a 5 string. Any idea if they will offer a V model?

I am in a six piece Rock, Blues and Country band with 3 guitars, one keyboard, bass, large drum kit, and 5 vocals mics. We are using a 16 channel Mackie board, three 1,000 watt power amps, 2 Community 4x15's, 2 Community 4x12+horns, and 4-6 monitors of various kinds. The Community cabs are...

SWR Megoliath. It's an 8 x 10 that is basically two 4 x 10's in one big box. Each has it's own input.

Total shot in the dark guess here, what kind of tuner are you using? You need one that is precise and stable.

+1 on the Peavey gear. I started on a Peavey TKO 115 back in the late 80's. At that time their top of the line for combos was the Combo 300. I get to play at a small local venue recently that had one of those old Combo 300's in the backline and I was quite impressed with the sound of that amp...

I've been doing the weekend warrior thing on and off for about 30 years. It has varried over the years, but usually simillar to your schedule of weekly practice with the band for 2-3 hours and gigs a couple times per year. My wife has usually been in the same band playing drums or singing. Our...

The Channel Surfers. I believe they are not together anymore or changed the line up. Their first cd is really good, in my opinion, kinda RHCP. some you tube links: I'm trying to find the names of some others

Even Paul McCartney plays covers and he wrote some good songs that he could play.

Key West - Fox network 1993, 13 episodes with Fisher Stevens and Jennifer Tilly. It was kinda like Northern Exposure in the Keys
