    Looking for new mini amp head to replace GK800RB

    My band is about to go on a 10 day tour and I would like to buy a mini amp head to lighten the load. I have an Ampeg SVT 212AV that I currently use a GK800RB with. The GK is in a hard shell case and heavy and I'm currently shopping around for something new. I play in a death metal band with a...

    Is an SKB BASS SAFE good for everyday touring? Better than a case?

    I just got myself a Limited edition Black Paisley JB Japan, and I was wondering how to protect it properly. We play around 100/150 shows a year, from big to small, most of them around Germany, travelling in our own van, with other instruments and PA and stuff. Would you guys think it's...

    Any tips, advice when going pro (+ synth beginner).

    Hi guys, It seems I might get the opportunity to go professional. I get more and more calls and start making me a name in the local scene. What would be your best pieces of advice for a 32 year old bass player who finally and quite surprisingly gets the chance to make a profession out of his...

    Paul Reed Smith factory tour video

    The folks at PRS have always done a good job with their factory tour videos. These videos get updated every few years and they regularly impress. The shots of the finishes being applied are especially fascinating. Edit: I see this video was posted by another user back in January... but...

    Unaware of Coronavirus, Nickelback Continues Tour of Playing to Empty Stadiums

    “Nobody will ever see a Nickelback concert as a possible public health hazard because they don’t have any fans,” CDC Robert Redfield stated. “In fact, if you want to be safe from the virus, one of the best places you could go is to a Nickelback concert, but I wouldn’t wish that on anyone.”...

    Using the Fractal AX8 on bass - Video

    Double Bass Need solutions for travel! Pack and ship? Rent a Flight Case?

    So my band has aspirations, but they are realistic and ultimately rooted in the reality that none of us is going to quit his day job to pursue them full time. But what if we wanted to put together a mini tour? We'd need a trailer, all our personal gear, a PA, extra insurance, and a bunch of...

    Should the sound guy source backline gear too?

    So, I got asked to do sound for a touring act at a local cultural society hall (seats about 250 people) for $300. I said sure. Good pay for doing sound. I find out later that the tour is a fly-in and they are only supplying their guitars. Full drum kit, 2 keyboards and rack, 3 guitar amps and a...

    Slayer and Thrash Metal King Tom Araya out on Farewell Tour in New Jersey

    Love em or hate em, Slayer's music has had a massive impact on modern music, but even though I'm a fan, I never paid much attention to Tom or his bass lines. You have to love a guy who can sing like that and claw away at the bass for hours on end... and now, at his age. And since as usual...

    The Bassist On Marvin Gaye's 'The Last Concert Tour' ?

    Does anyone know who the bassist on Marvin Gaye's 'The Last Concert Tour' is? If you've heard this album you know that the recording itself - the sound quality - is not very good. Saying it's mediocre is being kind. I've heard Grateful Dead bootlegs done from the audience by, uh, enthusiastic...
