I have a fender rumble 500 for bass. I'm getting into playing guitar

Should I grab a reverb and delay pedal and just use the rumble.. or would a proper guitar amp in the $200 range with built in verb/delay sound better?

Thanks

Love you

I've been trying to improvise over this song and can't seem to come up with anything good, I don't know if it's detuned slightly or if I'm just playing bad. Anyone want to post a recording of a riff to this song? I'm not using it for anything, just want to hear what yall got.

songs, albums, anything what are you listening to now?

I've been working on playing standing up recently and I'm finding my left shoulder is exhausted after about 20 mins of playing, to the point were my quality of practice goes down.

I have a P bass with some mean neck dive that I've attempted to counter with a suede strap, this holds the bass in place but doesn't change the fact that all the weight of the instrument is on one shoulder.

Is this something I just need to get used to? I've been at this for a while now and it doesn't seem like it's getting any better.

Sorry for the boring tech post.

I have a fender rumble 500. When i'm at home playing every so often it makes a loud ass pop, from what I've read it could be a voltage spike from my house's electrical. My house is old and shitty and the amp doesn't do this in my friends basement.

could this be damaging my amp, is there anyway to stop this from happening? i tried a surge protector, to no avail, and all of my music stuff is plugged into the same outlet

thanks

New to bass, played piano for a while. Should I be practicing scales from root to root or using positions and practicing all scale notes in that position? if so which positions are most commonly used?

Just finished my first semester of jazz piano lessons as a hobbyist. I every week my teacher had me do an exercise that consisted of running through the circle of fifths with a new type of chord. Ex. week one: maj7 chords, week two: dom7 chords in a 1-5-3-7 and so on.

I really want to keep building my vocab for chord extensions and voicings. Can anyone recommend some books or online resources organized this way?

I essentially want to do what Sean does in this video at 5:38. He records new midi over an midi old track. As the playhead passes the old midi, it mutes and deletes it. It seems like the current version of logic doesn't have the "Cycle on: replace" mode that he used. anyone know how to do it?

I just started playing bass guitar. I have a squire P bass running to a Scarlett Solo audio interface and a mac mini.

Problem: I'm getting tons of buzzing through my headphones when I plug in my guitar, the buzzing goes away when I touch metal components on the guitar like the strings/bridge. This makes me think it's a grounding issue..?

Here's the thing, I have no buzzing while using my bass teachers amp, so it must be an issue with my interface/computer system. One thing I noticed is that I don't have any grounds running to the system; my monitor's dc adapter is two prong and the mac mini power cord is two prong. So.. if I introduce something like a three prong dc adapter for my mo

I've played keyboards for like 15 years now, I'm somewhat decent I guess. I've always enjoyed making my own solo projects, but lately I've been feeling like a loner and want to make music with others.

I've always seen piano as more of a solo instrument compared to guitar and bass. I feel like rarely hear of bands in need of a keyboard player. I'm not really connected to a music scene so maybe I'm wrong about this.

Anyways. my question is which musician is in more demand: A good keyboard player or a passable bassist?

I know this is totally subjective but based on your personal music scene what's your experience?

Hey guys, Been having this problem pretty regularly now was hoping someone had some advice.

I like to practice and jam on piano using logic, I have my Yamaha digital piano hooked up to my Mac mini via usb and the Midi triggers the Studio Grand piano in logic. I'm not recording, just playing, I have no other tracks loaded, no other apps open and within 15-30 mins my Mac will just shit the bed. I get the static beach ball and have to restart my computer.

The annoying part is Logic works fine for big projects. I have a few big songs with 20+ tracks that have zero issues. For whatever reason when I simply play on this studio grand piano it crashes.

Ay. I'm attending isu this Spring, I'm having a tough time finding roommates. You guys have any recommendations? I've tried the 'New Redbird 2024' group on FB but no luck yet.

whatsup. I'm taking Statistical Reasoning next spring and want to make sure I'm ready for it. It's been about a year since I finished my Business Calc class, so my math is rusty. What subjects should I review to prepare? Any good khan academy recommendations?
