Re: First song recorded with our current band

Listening to it on the tablet I enjoyed it but couldn't hear any bass. I'll listen to it again on a decent system.

Rathbone No. 1

I popped down to look at acoustic guitars in Guitar Village for an hour today and came away with an itch for a Rathbone short scale acoustic. http://guitarvillage.co.uk/product/rathbone-no-1-mahogany-natural Guitar Village's ad says it's 36" scale :shock: but the brand website says otherwise. h...

Re: Fender Tonemaster Pro

I was at a wedding recently and the guitarists and bassist were all going through helixes. Sounded really, really good. They also had an electric drum kit. Drummer had a tiny mixer for his kit, bassist had a tiny mixer for everything. In ear monitors all round, they sound checked silently, brought ...

Re: WTF Esquire shortbass

Googling for the construction of the original EB-0 pickup and looking at some of the grumbles about the "mudbucker" there seem to be a lot of alternatives for what lurks in that big cover.

Re: Strat wiring question

So. Forgot about this post. What i was looking for was to have push pull pots to tap neck and bridge buckers as well as 3rd push pull to activate bridge pup at any time. Almost there. Still needs a little setup. Ah. What you said earlier was two push pull pots to tap neck and bridge buckers and a t...

Re: WTF Esquire shortbass

I have an Epiphone EB0 that I've only played two or three times since bringing it back from the shop. That's a short scale SG shaped bass, but I'd rather it had two pickups.
