    I think I am going to sell off my pedals - am I crazy?

    Hi TB! I was playing my new bass today and I was playing for a good, long while... Thing is - all of my pedals were turned off and I think I do not want them anymore. Let me explain. My setup has been a fully portable pedalboard consisting of a compressor, preamp, fuzz and a reverb. I have...

    Is It Possible To Have Fried Wiring In The Cab?

    Hey All- This may be a totally noob kinda question, but here's the situation: I acquired a Fender Bassman 1x15 cab and had always assumed that the speaker had fried (due to the fried sound). It is a JBL D-130F 8 ohm that had been re-coned. Well I just bought a used Peavey Black Widow 1505-8...

    I wonder if the Chinese-made Music Equip is going to Increase in Price?

But it has me wondering if the American manufacturers like Mesa and GK will get some relief? EDIT: Or if the market will change such that...

    Double Bass Can I shorten the peg?

    I have a Thompson plywood bass. The peg is about 18 inches long. I set it up with about 4 inches out of the bass. The socket takes 3 3/4 inches. Some times the peg vibrates when I hit a C on the A string, sometimes it doesn't. Is there any reason that I shouldn't lop 8 inches off the top of the...

    I've moved my stage position and now can't see the neck marker dots

    I had to move away from "my corner" because we put in PA cabs on a stand right in front of me. With that I couldn't hear my IEM. Or me. So we moved me to the back of the stage, next to the drums. A really good spot, as I can joke around with the drummer between songs (during practice of course)...

    What is the best way to file the nut for strings larger than .135 gauge?

    I'm willing to spend money to get the best tools for the job. I'm tuning F#BEAD on a 35" 5-string so I will be going with .190 .142 .106 .079 .055 I would also like to tune the other nut slots appropriately.

    I bassed so hard, I literally slapped the coils out of my pickup.

    I had a gig with my band in Little Rock last night, and got a little crazy with the slapping. To clarify, my "slapping" technique is probably terrible; I just hold a power chord and whack all the strings with my hand. Anyway, this happened: It didn't happen until halfway through the last song...
