Some suggestions:

        Carvin 410 cabinets
        Hartke 410 cabs
        EV 410 cabs

        Gallen-Kruger 400 or 800 amp
        Carvin PB 500 amp

Get yourself a good amp.  The Carvin PB500 has a great punchy compression;
works good for blues or rock.  And then any of the 410 cabs.  The Carvin is not
too expensive for a kill sound.


Good luck,

 I don't mean to cut in and sound godly, but aren't we going just a *wee bit*
far with these labels?  If I am reading thru the list newsgroups and I find
alt.bass.guitar (which I did, incidently) I know exactly what it is.  The 
label just indicates what the basic talk is in that group.  Do we really need
to go so far as to break it up into ten groups with exact names?  Guitar is
almost necessary to specify because it lets people know exactly what it is.
Bass is a word that can also specify a fish!  

 This group doesn't have that many articles as it is.  And the majority of
them lately has been to decide what to name the new group.  I can see adding
a few more specific labels, but let's just do it instead of sitting and 
arguing constantly.  After all... "What's in a name?"

Hi Folks,

Would any of you happen to have a design for a 9V battery-powered
practice box that I might use to drive a standard 32-Ohm set of
headphones.  I'd be using this with my passive Fender P Standard.
I guess that, ideally, I'd want to drive both speakers in a set of 
stereo headphones in parallel, so the load would be more like 16 Ohms.
If anyone could provide or provide a reference for a tried-and-true
design, I'd really appreciate it.  One of these doodads would probably
just about let me double the amount of practice time I get in, but I'm
just not sure it's worth spending $80-$100 on one.  Any thoughts?
Thanks in advance.

I am interested in finding out more about a funny looking bass that I
looked at yesterday.  I think its called a Guild Ashbane, it is a neck
with a body the size of my open hand.  The fretboard shows the
markings of the frets but has no relief (its flat).  It uses rubber
(synthetic) strings.  It has three nobs and a switch with a single led
by the switch.  

What I am interested in finding out is how does the pickup work? (there
is no visible pickup).  What does the switch do?  How much is it
worth?  or any other info anyone may have about it.

Thanks in advance

 People talkin' about this little wonder. 
-banjo tuners 
-silicon rubber strings 
-piezo pickup 
-lo/hi-impedance circuit (not active/passive) for playing with an amp 
 or straight to board. Always in active mode (because of the piezomic). 
-pretty tough to play because it is not too stable when standing and playin' 
-very soft for fingers (I've played it with blistered fingers - easily) 
-controls: b, t, v (they all work in both lo- and hi-Z modes) 
-switch for lo/hi-Z 
-led is on when in hi-Z mode 
-usable extras: baby powder for fingers and strings; sliding has never 
 been this easy. 
-transportable!!! 
-changing from an ordinary B to Ashbory is not too easy because of the 
 very short scale. Must get used to it.

Damn!  You got an SR1000 for $275?  Damn!  Damn!  Damn!
My SR800 cost me about $550 from Sam Ash two years ago, I could
sell it for more than $275 now.  If it is indeed in excellent
condition, you got a very good deal.

As for the pickups, EMGs are very nice active pickups.  The 
DiMarzio's probably aren't active...but if they're not, I
wonder how the 4 knobs are wired then...hmmm.  Maybe they are.
Anyway, it'd probably be worth it to go to a music store you
trust and see how much it would be to put EMGs in there and
wire them correctly.  But the bass itself is a great bass!

I second this.  I'd like to see some tab for it.  Years ago I used to
do sort of a flat picking thing for it which sounded okay, but then
somebody showed me something that sounded better, but then over years
of not playing the guitar, I forgot the good one, and can barely 
remember the other one.  What I'd really like to see is some real
finger picking tab for it, like the tab that feller posted for 
"Needle and the Damage done" a while back.  Yeah, I could probably
figger it out for myself given enough time, but lacking the time
I'll probably never get around to it, unless some friendly soul takes
pity on me, and posts a tab.

Does anyone know what this piece is called?  If its the same tune I'm thinking

WRONG!! I started playing guitar before I knew what getting laid meant.
I started playing because my brother played and he sold me his old
guitar cheap. As anybody who grew up with an older brother knows, what
big-bro does, little-bro wants to do too. It may have been an acceptance
thing, but it wasn't for getting laid... at least not then.

I have to agree with the responses who say that if your playing only to
get laid, it's obvious and offensive. Nobody likes to see plastic muscians.
If it does work, it's because the songs are done from the heart. If you don't
put any feeling into your music then you'll arouse no emotion from your 
audiance. That arousal of emotion, if anything, is what's gonna get you
laid.

My two cents:
- I'd vote for Dmadd9 or Dmadd9/F since F-A-D makes the D minor and the top E
  is the added ninth. Dmadd2 also, but the add9 would implicate a "high" E.
- Dmin/E is ambiguous at least, the note after the slash usually stands for
  the bottom note which in this case would be F, not E. A polychord, as I
  understand it, would be two chords played at the same time (something like
  D11 interpreted as a D major (1=D 3=F# 5=A) and a C major (b7=C 9=E 11=G))
  -- this would give D F A E G# B, two extra notes.. 
- if analyzed based on F, the F6maj7 would seem correct (with the addition that
  the 5th (C) is omitted) since F A C D form the F6 and E is the maj7. Never
  seem this kind of notation however. Think I'd write is as an Fmaj7add6 (om 5)
  [or maybe add13 instead of add6 (13=D=6)] but the Dmadd9 is shorter..
- why not Dm+2? Very often the plus sign is used to indicate an augmented 
  interval (as in C7+5 = C7#5 = C7aug = C-E-G#-Bb). Same goes to Dm9-7 (C7-9 =
  C7b9 = C-E-G-Bb-Db). And note that sometimes the plus/minus signs are very 
  handy: a C# with an augmented fifth would be C#+5 instead of C#5 (which is
  often used to indicate an open fifth, no third, C#-G# in this case)
- the Asus4/F is technically correct but the idea is a bit awkward..

That apparently really 'ugly' format that this was in was
the tabpro format.  This format, far from being ugly, is actually
a *VERY* useful formatting tool for postscript layout.  It's
a cinch to use and produces really natty chord layout.  It's
to be found in ftp.nevada.edu and is called 'Chord' - try it,
I'll think you'll be impressed.

I wish it was the standard for alt.guitar.tab - anybody else agree?

Helplessly Hoping.. CSN (1969)


Am7                    C                      G                     D
Helplessly hoping her  harlequin  hovers near-by,    awaiting   a   word.

Am7                    C                      G                     D
Gasping at glimpses of gentle true  spirit he runs wishing he could fly

        Am7         C             G     D
only to trip at the sound of good-bye...

Am7                     C                         G
Wordlessly watching he  waits  by the window  and wonders at the empty 
         D
place in-side

Am7                     C                         G
Heartlessly helping him-self to her bad dreams he worries did he hear
      D      Am7  C         G    C/G
a goodbye or even...    hel-lo?


CHORUS

         G   C/G              G     C/G            G        C/G
They are one person, they are two a-lone, they are three to-gether, they
    G   Dm/F        C
are for...     each other


Am7                         C                        G
Stand by the starway you'll see something certain to tell you confusion
        D
has its cost.

Am7                   C                   G                      D
Love isn't lying it's loose in a lady who lingers, saying she is lost and
Am7      C         C/G
choking...  on hel-lo.

CHORUS
