I don't make a habit of trash picking, but when I see something interesting sitting on the curb -- well, I just gotta look. On my way home from the supermarket this evening I spotted this laying on top of a few matresses on a neighborhood curb: A little small for a guitar, so I glanced...

Okay, I have to share this in order to get closure on the incident. And maybe get feedback on similar experience from others here. One of my projects is a trio that usually plays one-set performances of original tunes as a warmup for other bands. I play bass. We've done a handful of gigs and...

Hiya, all! I've been a little AWOL lately, but still keeping with the music. After being out of the business for about 15 years, I jumped back in again with both feet -- and into two separate projects! Keeps me pretty busy :AOK: , but keeps me away from here. :( Project one is a cover band...

I'd been looking at a Fender "Geddy Lee" Jazz bass for about a month, hanging on the wall at the local GC. I loved the way the neck felt, and it played decently, even with the generous relief in the neck and the high action (I can fix that). And the price was marked $699, $150 less than online...

Okay, you have to check this out. Visit their "videos" link. http://www.memphisrain.net/ They have a certain appeal -- I don't know if it's cuteness or astonishment. Only in the Jersey Pinelands . . .

So much news in one day . . . I talked to my youngest daughter this evening (my middle child). After some chit-chat, she blurted out, "Chuck and I are getting married in July." Oh! Well, I met this guy when they visited this past June; he's actually almost ten years older than her, but seems...

This is weird, but I think it means something. On one of my guitars, placing a capo on the neck makes it sound better -- fuller. It changes the tone, not just the pitch. I don't know if I can really describe it, but it tends to sound flat and flabby when played with open strings and more...

That WD-46S that I bought in 2006 (with its problems that brought me to the forums in the first place) now has an upgrade. I installed a K&K Western Mini earlier this evening, and it worked out pretty good. This guitar has had its problems with volume and depth of tone, but has always had good...

Maybe someone can offer me insight or opinion on my situation. A few months ago I got a Behringer Ultratone K3000FX, which is a 300 watt, 4-channel PA/keyboard combo amp, with stereo inputs on each channel (two 1/4" inputs for each channel). The left input is also labeled for mono input. I...

The past month or so I've been looking for a band to join, and went for an audition about three weeks ago. Things went really well -- everyone was excited, liked what they heard, and we agreed to share a song list and some song clips. Next practice got cancelled because a guitarist got an...

In another thread I mentioned I was on the prowl for a short-scale fretless bass, but hadn't been finding anything interesting. I also mentioned I had an item on backorder from Musician's Friend for several months. Well, out of the blue, came to my door the answer to my dilemma -- an 18-inch...

I walked into a music store and failed to get excited about anything hanging on the walls. Actually, it was the second time in two weeks. The stores I browse are smaller mom-and-pop type places; the Guitar Center and Sam Ash are farther away. I've seen some pretty nice used stuff occasionally...

Thanks to Just Strum for the heads up. I'm a late arrival to acoustic guitar, but have played bass for decades. I quit playing professionally around 1994 to pursue other career options, and picked up electric and (more recently) acoustic guitar to entertain myself, and just keep my feet wet...
