    Would a Baritone Guitar be considered a type of bass?

    Except "Tenor Guitar" (sometimes) specifically means a four string guitar.

    Have you ever regretted modding your bass?

    No regrets and I don't hesitate to mod if I want to. (YMMV)

    Reasons to play songs NOT "like the record"...Do they hold up?

    I play a lot of covers. But we do our own thing with them because that's what we want to do. If you don't like it that's fine, you don't have to listen. I'm playing for my own amusement. But some people do seem to like it, so w/e.

    Work sucks because it's work! What's up with people these days?

    No, it's absolutely not true. You do not get ahead by working hard. That's just some BS your boss tells you to get you to work harder.

    The Official 8-String (Octave Courses) Bass Club

    Thanks for the input, everyone. The strings on it are GHS bass boomers. I will look into the Kalliums. If there was someone local I trusted to do a better setup than me, I would have them do it. I'll have to take a look at it.

    The Official 8-String (Octave Courses) Bass Club

    I have a Schecter Studio 8. I would play it more, but it is very high effort. Is this something a good setup might fix, or is it just the nature of an 8 string?

    The Sushi Box FX Secret Society

    I know this has been covered a dozen times at least... I went to change the tube in my Finally (from the 12ax7 to a 12au7). I got the old tube out, but putting in the new tube I pushed down on the top of the tube and broke the tip off. Clearly not the right way to do that. What's the right...

    Why do people like heavy Metal when all it does is put me sleep?

    Different people like different things, and that's okay.

    Why is it that singers do not own any PA equipment?

    I have at least three Rat pedals lying around, but I'd have a hard time saying no to a Hand Wired Lab Rat.

    OK, so Strange/Stupid pick question?...

    I also use the purple Tortex 1.14mm pick. I've been using it for more than 20 years. I play with a pick probably 98% of the time. Also use it for guitar.

    Do you own a back yard hot tub?

    I have an Intex inflatable hot tub. Got it figuring it was worth it to see if it was something we would actually use before investing a lot. Turns out that we like it more than a "real" hot tub. Been using for about a year and a half now.

    So… who’s not using a compressor at all ?

    I've tried a few, but never found one where I thought I sounded better with it on than off.

    THE LEFTY UNION: The Club for the Left-Handed... Returns!

    For 99% of knobs in the world, turning the knob clockwise means "more". I like my basses and guitars to follow that convention. What's annoying is that some do and some don't. I've rewired a number so that they work the way I prefer.

    one person's art is another's vandalism

    Eh, I've done worse things to guitars and basses.

    Go piccolo...yes or no?

    It sounds enough like a guitar that I don't really see the point. (I've already got about six electric guitars.)

    Review: Hadean Bass Uke UKB-200 FH (Left Handed)

    Thanks, I will keep that in mind if it acts up again. So far it's been fine for a couple months. I think the bridge just has to be making good, solid contact with the body under each of the strings. I'm not sure why that would come and go, but apparently it can. (Actually I think mine was...

    Review: Hadean Bass Uke UKB-200 FH (Left Handed)

    The model is in the thread title. I took the bridge apart, and just carefully re-assembled it. It work fine after that. I did not cut it.

    Review: Hadean Bass Uke UKB-200 FH (Left Handed)

    I just wanted to follow up on this after having used it for a while. After I sorted out the one fret that was buzzing, figured out what was going on with the string volume, and replaced the tuners, I was left with a very use-able instrument. I played it at a gig last night and got lots of...
