    South Bay Area Fretless Bass Repair Help

    Talk to Brian Hart at Jams Music up in Dublin. He is the only one that does any work on my instruments. Yes, it is a drive to get there but if you leave after 10 am and head back before 2pm (traffic), then it should not be that bad. Also, I too had bad experiences at Keith Holland Guitars but...

    For the Love of RATs!

    A question for anyone: Does the pedal need to have a LM308N chip in it to be considered a rat? Are there other alternatives and it would be still called a rat pedal?

    What you wish you knew before you built your first pedalboard...

    I like to have a Boss tuner first on my pedalboards. 1. To tune when needed. 2. Use it as a mute switch. 3. Utilize the Boss buffer for the signal. Also, I like Castline patch cables. I find their quality to be really good. You can buy them on Reverb or direct from their website. With...

    What you wish you knew before you built your first pedalboard...

    If playing into an amp, know what the flat tone settings are. Else, it can really affect the sound of the pedals too much. The knobs on my amp where set a noon but it was still too scooped so I disliked the pedals and got rid of them.

    It is good to hear you were very honest with that transaction. Having worked in a lot of retail jobs, I could see something like that happening to me. Also, you could have saved that person from being fired.

    When to know you’re over-processing your sound?

    How about 2 setups: 1. Bass to pedal tuner (also used as a mute) and maybe a HP/LP filter (I use a Brougton) or a compressor then to amp. 2. A larger pedalboard (also with tuner/mute) and all the other pedals you like just in case that gig wants a DI signal only (no amp or cab). Leave the...

    St. Pat's Day: Setting ourselves up to flop horribly?

    Chumbawamba's Tubthumping could pass for Irish even though they are an English group. Pretty much anything by the Irish Rovers like Black Velvet Band. I suggest not doing The Unicorn Song unless you want everybody to start crying in their beer.

    Confession - I bought the Joe Dart III bass

    Guitar Show Tips?

    Maybe you should have at least one other person go with you. They can help setup/take down displays and watch the area while you are on break. Also, they can keep an eye out for people (and children) who might not be too careful while looking at your items. Bring an amp so people can test the...

    The Praise and Worship Band Bassists Club

    I understand what you are going through.

Also, they were very difficult to communicate with since their views & opinions kept...

    Experience with tankless water heater?

    We have a gas Navian in a newly built house. We can have 2 showers & washer going and it holds up fine. The temp is set at 120°. Just remember to perform regular maintainence on it. Or they can do service it too- it is worth it.

    Show me your compact pedalboard setup

    Are you going into amp/cab or DI to FOH? If FOH, maybe they are adding extra compression? Also, I see you have a Broughton HP filter. Maybe that and the compressor is too much.

    A musician’s relative worth…

    1. I would think that the acoustics in a subway are not as pleasing as a concert hall. So the full effect of the playing might have been lost. 2. How noisy/busy was that subway where he played? 3. The passerbys were probably focused on their next destination. Also, they might not have had alot...
