    Cover of "BEARS"

    A cover I did of an obscure mid 1960's song about bears. Put together not long after my unplanned 6 year silence of playing music ended. I played bass, guitar, loops , spoken vocals and organ, an old bandmate from years back did the backup vocals.

    Garage Rock Bass

    Me and some friends are kicking around the idea for a recording project inspired by old 60’s-70’s garage rock. I figured I’d ask here about some favorite recordings, particularly for getting ideas for song structures (and BASS TONES!!!). So feel free to drop links to your favorite examples. If...

    How to achieve this bass sound? (post punk/art punk)( Exit Group )

    Hello, I recently discovered the berlin-based garage punks Exit Group and I am obsessed with their bass tone/sound. Would anyone have any hints on how to achieve a similar sound? I have a been trying to use my big muff pi and Electro Harmonix Small Clone but it just isn't the same. Heres a...

    Frankenstein’s Bass

    Nameless, brandless, feckless, built in my garage... I’m just gonna seal it over top of the scuffs, pencil parks, and splattered shielding paint. Body and neck were cheap, volume pots are no-load, no tone control, neck pocket doesn’t quite fit, pick guard snapped while cutting the hole for the...

    Found my old MXR Envelope Filter in a box in the garage...

    ... and I'm not quite sure what to do with it. I opened it up to make sure there wasn't a yucky old battery in there - it's been in the garage for over 15 years. Apparently none the worse for wear either, I popped in a 9V battery and off it went sounding as good as ever. Problem is, I stopped...

    For sale Visual Sound Garage Tone "Chainsaw" Distortion (Overdrive)

    Although this pedal says "distortion" I find it more of an aggressive overdrive, with a great amount of low-mid thump for use with bass. It's a solidly built pedal, for easy money. Only selling because it was an impulse purchase -- one of my favorite overdrives is the Visual Sound Open Road...

    Garage Insulation

    I keep my amps in my garage, so I was thinking about getting one of the insulation kits from Home Depot or Lowe's to use on the door to try and keep the garage from getting too cold in the winter/hot in the summer. Anyone use one of those kits? How'd it work out? Easy to install?

    Garage Bands

    Anyone else here remember playing in some garage bands in the late 60s into the 70s. I will be hitting 64 this year and it was a common thing to do back then. Just a bunch of guys with some musical talent getting with each other to try to duplicate the latest or older hits. Various songs were...

    Guitarist/Bassist Garage Rock Effects Rig

    I switched to playing bass for this 60s garage rock band I joined about 6 or so months ago. I'd been playing electric guitar for 20 some years prior to the switch and I enjoyed geeking out on tube amps and analog effects. I'm having a hard time figuring out what effects I need or if I need...

    recommend old cabs

    I'm looking for a cool old cab to go with my ad200b. I'm not into 10s (8x10, 4x10, etc). I am into 12's, 15's and cabs with multiple speaker sizes. I'm keeping my eyes peeled for an older mesa, sunn, or acoustic 2x15 or anything else interesting. I saw a sunn 202 locally (smaller 2x12...

    Jason newsteads tone on Garage Days revisited

    I have always wondered what amp/cab/pedal Jason used for his crushing tone on this. Stuff like CCIBS, small hours, man, so heavy. I know alot about gear and have used alot of stuff, his tone was overdriven but not at all fuzzy. I know he uses Aria basses, (possible Cliff's) but nothing...

    Todays MIJ garage sale find

    So I just picked this bass up at a garage sale. The body is one piece solid wood. The neck is 3 piece, with a 5 piece headstock. The only markings on it are the MIJ plate and the stamp on the neck heal and in the pickup route. I was half expecting to take the neck off and find a fender body, due...
