Is there something I missed or did we have to go back to recover from a crash?
Just letting the Admins know.

LOL, and I tell my wife I could easily win the Tour de France if I only had Lance's bike...
But on a serious note, however tallented and musical Zander may be, I always wonder about putting the...

Basses are heavy. 34" scales and solid tone requires mass, with the result subjecting our backs and shoulders to between 8 and 12+ pounds. For bassists, straps are not a fashion accessory, they are...
Sounds great! Hopefully falls on a weekend with no racing.
Age has little to do with a bass' qualities. In fact, older "known" years of certain equipment is worth a LOT.
Your main questions are fell and tone. Does it have a tone you are looking for? How...
As a total newb, you might wonder what all the work on scales is about, heck we just want to play songs right! It will make sense very quickly when you see how notes are "linked" when we do start to...
I've noodled with a few of these on-line machines and they are not for me. If I'm going to bother sitting at it and program it, I'll do the same thing in Reason and can use it again (plus I have the...
Come on in, take off your shoes and sit a spell. We're here for a good time AND a long time! The crew here is friendly and helpful, with a good sense of humour. But the best part is that we are...
For setting up, you need to know a bit about yourself, your bass, the strings and the way you play. Are you strong? Do you dig in hard? Do you slap, use a pick, etc? How high is the tension of your...
How apart did you take it? Did you separate the neck from the body? I did this on my first bass, a MIM Fender Jazz Deluxe. The amount of crap I found in the body crevasses was scary! There was saw...
WOW is all I can say to these. The smoothness and tone are killer and playing that low string tension is just sweet. I am not a hard player and these are like magic under my fingers. I now have...
I think the tuning peg placement is just a way to move a little weight back off the tip of the neck. Makes a more compact head and gives it a signature look.
The Sterling neck and feel have...
You need 5 posts to be able to see attachments :cool:. Two more posts to go!
Just got through a set-up and an initial test. WOW! What a sound card!
I had a problem with my old card in GarageBand where it would glitch sometimes and post I had too many tracks/too much...
It a Rob Allen Solid 4 with the strap still on. I just got into Mono straps and they are AWESOME.

To me your practice area has to be orderly and inviting. The simpler you keep it the easier it is to just pick up your bass and noodle away.
My current arrangement is an open room (it was the...
Welcome aboard! The more the merrier.
Look around, kick some tires and don't be shy to ask anything. And when you need some help with a lessonor just some encouragement, drop us a note as we are...
Whatcha doin' in this part of the world? I hope you brought a bass to practice with!
Well, I'll be. GOt a text from my wife early this morning that the nice truck dropped it off!
All I can say is WOW. Imagine a well balanced MIA J that somebody spent a lot of time getting every...
Cheers Bassix, the only complaint I have read about them is that the E and A can sometimes sound a little muddy. What is your opinion here?
Anybody have experience with TI flats (I think they call them Jazz Flats)? I have heard they are bright but full and was thinking about them for a J style bass.
Argggghhhh, still on the truck... Crossing the border is just such a nut cracker. Hopefully get some pics up on Wednesday.
Excuse my venting, we'll go back to your regular programming now :o.
The A and D are supposed to be higher, due to the curvature of the fret board. They might not be high enough...
