My Project

Time to give the bass section some attention! Bass strings don’t need to be changed as often as guitar strings, but it’s time to change the strings on both our basses. Even though a band doesn’t usually have two bass players, Rock Band Club students teach and learn from each other, and the bass amp will allow two players to show each other parts at the same time. It’s inconvenient at best for one person to play something, then hand the instrument (or amp) over to another. The fuzz wah pedal is a special treat for the students trying to learn Master of puppets, the beginning of which I’ve probably heard a couple of hundred times a week for the last month or two. Rock and Roll!
