    Gig....after a long absence.

    Congratulations and welcome back. Nice to hear about the return of normalcy. You have managed something many are still hoping to achieve. Thanks for sharing some important changes in your world. I think riding has similar mental and physical coordination requirements to playing music, as well...

    Recommend second microphone

    Not having read all the tech talk above, I'd say go for a SM57 and learn good mic technique. Also some very nice Sennheiser offerings at great prices.

    NAD and a Shootout: Acoustic B100C (vs. Rumble 100)

    I truly appreciate your careful and honest review. Many of us are both not performing and not financially inclined to spend several hundred dollars on amplification of our modest instruments. As someone else pointed out, I expect the amp to make the sound of my instrument louder, and not alter...

    What ~ $1000 of upgrades does for a $150 bass

    That's a great way to spend your money! I love the recipe, the execution, and the short scale. And the knobs. I have been looking for the ET 280 ever since I picked up my first bass. and had I ever seen one for $150 I would have been all over it. I have seen nice, complete ones go over $500...

    Resale....why such a hassle??

    The only way I can afford to play a variety of instruments is to buy them cheaply from Craigslist, music stores (used), pawn shops, and yard sales. I have quite a bit of gear that I bought well enough to break even if I sell now. Future prices probably lower, but since I'm buying to support my...

    cheap decent acoustic bass

    I love my Dean AEB. Loud unplugged as stated. When plugging in the piezo pickup needs a preamp. My first was just a bass eq pedal that boosted the output just enough for an amp and gave a way to tailor the sound. More recently using a Fishman B II preamp that helps the 'thin' sound even more...

    What additional equipment does my band *need* before we start gigging?

    I believe that you can get the best bang for your buck by starting with the best FOH speakers you can afford. The QSC K12s we use are the single most important component to our sound system. People have commented in several venues (small to medium bar gigs mostly) that our sound was better than...

    NBD - Dean Exotica AEB

    Beautiful instrument. I love my plain old Dean AEB. It's the loudest unplugged of any of the eight or so AEBs I've played, and so inexpensive I can take it anywhere without worrying about beating it up.
