    H E L P!

    Hiii awesome bass players from around the world. I'm Keesha and I'm just a beginner and I was hoping if you guys could help me in my class's upcoming competition.

    Hydrid Pedalboard Setup Advice/Suggestions

    Hi guys, I've been playing for about 9-10 years now and used to be an active gigging bass player.
