    4 string bass EADG to BEAD.

    Thanks for the info guys. I'll get new strings see what happens. I can do a decent job of setting it up (tweaking the truss rod, setting the action, etc.), I just didn't know that old strings would matter so much. Hopefully it'll be solved after a new set of strings.

    4 string bass EADG to BEAD.

    Re: Re: 4 string bass EADG to BEAD. Ah, yes, sorry I didn't mention it at the beginning. I used a B from a five string set and the rest from the original bass, just moved over one slot. So all of the strings are set to the correct tension. I had to file the nut slots a little to do this but...

    4 string bass EADG to BEAD.

    Today I altered my Ibanez bass from being tuned EADG to BEAD. Now I can't get my E string to intonate right. Could this be solved with new strings? A new bridge? How do I find a new bridge online? Musician's Friend doesn't sell them. Can this whole procedure be accomplished realistically?

    Spectrum/frequency analyzer.

    I tried downloading this program and I find it somewhat cumbersome. Why doesn't it play the file back in real time? Why doesn't it register anything above 5k?

    Spectrum/frequency analyzer.

    I was wondering why I don't see that much about using or people selling spectrum analyzers? After reading what I could about what they do I'm wondering why everybody doesn't use them. I know they'd help me out a lot as far as finding out what's really going on with my 4-track mixdown. Any...

    Cliff Burton, bass master!!

    Hey, anybody know any info on Cliff Burton's(Metallica bassist) effects? I've been to numerous web pages but I still can't find any good info. I know he at least used a distortion and a wah, but what kinds I do not know.

    Wah for bass?

    Hey does anybody have an opinion on what wah pedals they like for bass? I'm using a Dunlop Bass Crybaby wah. I'm getting too much stuff going on for too little foot movement. Any suggestions?

    Boss Drum Machines

    I myself have a DR-660 (the pre-cursor to the 770) and I have found it most useful hooking it up to my computer to use via Cakewalk. I just use the midi out cords on my computer and hook the sound out cords to my stereo (or 4-track, or back into my computer via the sound in jack). I agree that...

    Digital 8-Track

    Yeah, I've been looking at the Yam MD8, and I have some questions about that -- How much time can you put on a single disk? What else does it have in it (effects and stuff)? What's the eq like?

    Digital 8-Track

    I'm looking for a Digital 8-track to replace my Tascam 4-Track cassette recorder. I need to record 8 tracks at once and don't need any extra stuff like internal effects or saved takes. Just a meat and potatoes digital 8-Track. Anybody have any suggestions?

    Low cost delay/reverb stompbox?

    How can you make me a pedal? Can you put whatever knobs I wanted on it (tone rolloff, etc.)? How do you get the casing for the pedal? How could I learn how to build stuff like that? :) I went the the ehx.com site, the only delay/reverb petal they have is the deluxe memory man, which costs...

    Low cost delay/reverb stompbox?

    I have been using a Boss Digital Delay (DD5?) for about 2 years now. I now feel that the repeats are too sharp sounding (it sounds like I'm using a delay, not like I'm playing in a cave or whatever) and I wish to buy a new delay/reverb petal for under $200. I really like echo that washes over...
