working

So, today I officially entered the world of the seven day weekend. I'm working on a playlist just for fun listening while driving, sitting out on the patio, etc. Help me out with some appropriate songs. Genre doesn't matter, But PG-13 or milder will be appreciated. Songs about lifestyle, travel...

Sorry I’m advance, as this will probably be kinda lengthy. About a month ago I auditioned for a band that an acquaintance told me was looking for a bassist. He’s a professional guitarist and vouched for this group, so figured it’s worth looking into. At the time I was starved for an outlet to...

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...

My friend and I had both our basses(powered pre-amps) at my house and his guitar kept having issues. His yamaha was very quiet and kept making distorted noises. We changed cables/batteries/amps with no improvement. He said that his guitar was working fine earlier today. So then we switched to...

My bass amp just stopped working out of the blue... I purchased it threeon the ago...help#

Hey guys, so I have had this issue with my bass Microsynth that I have not ever seen before. I have not seen anyone have this issue yet... When I'm playing a continuous chord progression the BMS filter keeps sweeping even though my start and stop frequencies are set to the same frequency. Like...

Embedded videos just look like stills. It’s been for a few days, didn’t even realize they were videos till now. It still works fine on my desktop Mac and iPhone but not on the iPad.

Stealing @One_Dude's idea of your 1st riff.......What are you working on currently?..... my fun ones right now are: Sweet Jane (not hard, but such a great groove) and Lively Up Yourself.....(reggae is new-ish for me)

Hey all! Trying to immerse myself more in practicing, and doing so by learning songs I like, hard or easy. Currently working on these right now: Song, artist, progress in song: What you Know - Two Door Cinema Club - have the notes down, but at 120bpm vs "big boy speed". Can play at full speed...

I'm creating working on a playlist, mostly heavy metal with nods to proto-metal, harder forms of punk, and the heavier classic rock songs. This is the list as is (5-5-18). I'd like to know if you think it ROCKS, how you feel about the selections from various bands, if you have links to better...

Hello everyone, I bought a Sire V7 last year and a couple months ago suddenly when I turn towards the pickup blend knob - so that only the front pick up works - there's no volume. I opened and checked both the pickup and the potentiometer and everything seemed find. Anyone else have had this...

I just can't get a good wah sound from it. I put it in front middle back of my chain, my chain consist of a Boss Geb-7 a Dallas arbiters fuzz, a Keeley Bassist compressor limiter, Boss DD3 delay and the Aguilar Filter Twin. I 've have change position of each pedal everyway I can, I have eq the...

Hi i bought a Sansamp VT Bass DI only a few months ago and have have only played it half a dozen times and now it's broken. The pedal now has terrible background noise when i turn the effect off - it's still on in the background and makes a loud hissing sound. It's a real shame because i loved...

Kind of a response to What's the hardest part of being in a band? where the overwhelming responses seem to be "dealing with other people" , disagreement about goals, folks not pulling their own weight, etc... A few the answers dealt with the pragmatic difficulties of booking, gigging...

Alright, so first of all, sorry if I'm posting this in the wrong place, but I just got this pedal (used from reverb, but the seller had great reviews) and it doesn't seem to work. The crossover light comes on but no matter how I turn the knobs, it doesn't affect my tone at all, and with the...

Yeah so I'm interviewing with Sweetwater and Im trying to learn about as much as I can with available DAW's (in addition to a bunch of other pro audio stuff) and Im struggling with Pro Tools. I use Garage Band for just about everything because my needs are simple and it's easy. For the life of...

This is super quick video I made because I found after saw my favorite store had a new shipment of Cirruses. I was almost on my way to choir practice when I got a call that my replacement preamp for my Ibanez TMB 605 was in, so I came by to drop it off on the way to rehearsal, when I saw a...

Today at practice I was playing the amp and all of a sudden my signal died. I checked all the cables, and then noticed a sound coming through the speakers that sounded like wind. Now the only thing that happens when I take the amp off standby is a "wind" sound. What the hell? Anyone ever...

Well, I have had performing injuries, but this is my first "string change" flesh wound. I was taking the old strings off my Martin acoustic guitar and the high E string went through my finger, and yes, there is an entry and exit point. It was the curled end off the tuner, so after it poked...

Pretty simple, but without the sax kinda hard for people to recognize. Timing not too hard to get down, but definitely not just straightforward quarter or eighth notes in 4/4.

I just got this amp, but not sure what's up with the input section. On my old SWR amp, the manual basically says to turn the input up until it barely clips (light blinks) on your loudest notes. It also says clipping won't hurt the preamp. Should I operate the GK amp in the same way? When I crank...

Not THAT kind of working girl! Ordinarily the Sunday Jam is a low key affair. The house band (Myself included) take the stage for a set, then some solos, and duos (whatever comes along) then switch up the band til closing. Yesterday the place was full, musicians and a dining/drinking crowd, by...

First, we have to decipher what the customer is actually saying/doing- I'm in the studio all weekend. Means- My buddy has Garage Band. On tour- We have two gigs this week, thirty miles apart. Playing a festival- 17 bands in three hours in a room that fits 75. Then there's stuff that makes your...

Hey. So my 70's Ampeg V4 w/Reverb isn't making any sound. I powered it up and the amp turns on, tubes light up, but no sound when I take it off standby. Now I have a feeling the unusually cold weather might have something to do with this, as the amp was stored in my cold basement. We've been...

Hi all, I have a 4401 and I'm trying to upgrade the preamp to the Bart NTMB. So when finally rec'd, I looked at the existing wiring, and saw it had way many more wires than the Bart install. Bart support said I needed a 25k ohm volume pot, got one. Connected all the wires per their diagram...

Just curious. What kind of gigs do you play? What kind of gear do you use?

always on the lookout to find new ways to reach new potential fans. Any interesting new strategies working for you? I’ve actually asked this same question before but as you know especially online, things are constantly changing. Prime example Facebook seems to being dying down probably because...

Guessing its pre Maganvox. Serial # BB8713xx. Anyone know what the year or mfg might be or if its a blackline or blueline model? The faceplate is so worn there is not a mark left on it. :)

That's it, I'm done this time. Made out of parts I've gathered over the last year, just waiting for the right price and weight. 1997 MIM neck 7.25" radius Roadworn fiesta red body vintage saddle bridge. Fender nitro tort pickguard. Jason Lollar overwound P pickup CTS 450G pots(250k), vintage...

I have a sunn concert bass head (red face) With the mids dimed and the bass and treble at zero there is a very low volume tone coming through. If I back the mids down to zero the volume of that tone doesn’t change. If I dime either bass or treble the volume increases. I’m assuming it’s a passive...

I've built 3 instruments that I am very proud of and I play them everyday. I had not had previous wood working experience when I built those. Today I decided to build a stand for those instruments. I don't even know what this joint is called, but this is about as good as I got it. I am...

So I have had an MXR M87 for about 6 months now. I have love the pedal and it stays on 100% of the time. Recently though during practice my bass all of a sudden had no audio. After some trial and error I realized it was the M87. So for practice I took it out of the effects chain and rocked...

Weather is getting nice in the old practice place. Which is good cause there is no AC in there and we are in Texas! So we turn to the new songs. What are you guys working on latley? Last night we tried out: Dancing with Myself -Billy Idol (sounded great right our of the gate) Feel your love...

Hi all, First post whoop! I play in a indie/rock 3 piece (drums/lead), currently using Ashdown MAG300 Evo2 head, and MAG410t deep cab. I'm really struggling for headroom, and the amp is pretty much max'd on output at most gigs. We play in bars and pubs mainly, with the odd bigger venue for...

About twice a month my band plays in the small resort town Eureka Springs, Arkansas. It realy is a place that I think everybody should visit at least once. The entire city is on the National Register of Historic Places. My absolute favorite place to play there is this tiny place downtown. Here...

Hi, I got a stiletto for basically nothing and it is in pristine condition except that the neck pickup does not seem to be working. The blend control blends OK to the bridge pup but when I turn it to the neck position I gradually lose volume until where it is supposed to be 100% neck the bass...

So I have two auditions coming up for working bands that have gigs on the books and just need to replace the bassist. While I have won the role of bassist in this type of audition before, I would say my success ratio is about one in ten for getting the bassist role in a working band. I attribute...

I noticed this a day or two ago. The little blue wheel continuously spins at the top left corner of the page. It is doing it right now. It is like the page will not finish loading. While this is happening, the back button does not work. Anybody else? Thanks
