    Indie/Grunge/Rock Recording

    Hi All, Not sure if there is a forum for members to share their bands' recordings etc? So have posted here! The signal is a mix of DI and an Ashdown ABM 600 EVO IV into an Ashdown 8x10 Cab. Bass is a Yamaha BB1100s (Active on). ta!

    Why do all basses seem to look so uninspired and the same (in a bad way)

    I understand that this will probably draw quite a bit of hate (even more as I’ve only switched to bass from guitar in the past year to fill bassist in my band). I actually enjoy playing bass and creating bass lines just as much if not more than guitar, I’ve been looking for a new bass recently...

    NAD - Finally went the vintage route

    After 5 years of playing my SVT rig I decided to change things up and go with this. Many of my favourite bands are playing 370s these days so I have been wanting one for about 2 years now. They never pop up for sale here in Canada but since the pandemic there has been a bunch. Finally found the...

    Quick question about string gauge and type for stoner/sludge/doom.

    Hey everyone, I currently own a 2016 Squier Affinity PJ that still has the stock strings on (I think they're 40-100, not sure), but they're getting rusty and I'm not sure what to replace them with since it's my only bass for the foreseeable future and I would like it to be a vesatile as...

    Song Suggestions, 90's Grunge.

    A guitarist friend of mine is talking to me about making a band that focuses on the 90's grunge like Stone Temple Pilots, Soundgarden, Nirvana, Pearl Jam, etc. Are any of you in a similar band now? If so, what are some songs that go over well for you?

    Playing with others

    If this is the wrong forum, I apologize. So I have enjoyed the last few weeks learning to play bass. I'm coming from the guitar, so I'm not starting completely from scratch. I know some major scale patterns, finding octaves, thirds, and fifths, basic stuff like that. One of my major goals is...

    Need something "thicker" thank my B3K

    Hey guys, Looking for some recommendations for a overdrive/distortion to replace my B3K, I find the B3K has a lot of booty and top end sizzle but I'm looking for something with a bit more body and full frequency. I play in a hard rock/grunge band. I currently use my B3K for a lot of our stuff...

    A hidden gem for grunge fans. Chris Cornell and Andrew Wood demo.

    Those two were room mates in the late 80's early 90's and recorded their stuff on four track demos. This is the only know existing song of them singing together. Cool to hear. A guitar and a four track. Even I am old enough to remember those days. Thought some of you would enjoy.

    Ampeg SVT II pro EQ settings help/tips (Alternative Rock/Metal)

    Hi guys, a few days ago I acquired myself an SVT II pro and Ampeg 410HLF cab. I've been interested in ampeg for years and after saving hard finally managed to pick up a rig. This is my first tube amp (My old amp which I still have is a Fender v3 Rumble 500, which I got a great sound out of) that...

    Hadrien Feraud plays Grunge

    I love creative reinterpretations and just stumbled over these gems: Usually I'm not a fan of Katy Perry or Nirvana but something about this really works. C/S, Rev J
