    Why don't I feel like a musician?

    I absolutely have felt like that for years. I was a “performer” more than a musician. I guess what helped me through that is I started writing my own songs and putting what was in my head, into a DAW. I generally write on guitar and then do a bass line, but sometimes I’ll start with a cool bass...

    Bass for each style

    I’ve just recently purchased my first non jazz bass. It’s a PJ but I only use the P pickups in it. After playing strictly Hamer USA jazz basses for about 30 years, I dig the P sound for some things. I can use my Hamers for any music style though. Never had a problem with blues, funk, grunge...

    Jazz bass tone

    I definitely do. All I’ve ever owned so far have been jazz basses. I know the p bass is supposed to be “the standard”, I just don’t like the tone, or the tonal range, as much as I do a jazz bass. I do have a pj on order, so I guess I’ll get to try the p pickups at home, but I have just never...

    I need to vent. We're about to botch a gig.

    I think I’ve played with your drummer and RG before myself. Don’t do it! There’s nothing more frustrating than you knowing your parts, practicing on your own, and then trying to play with people who seemingly don’t care or just aren’t good enough to pull it off. Find another drummer and singer...

    Bass Brands you indirectly choose to ignore

    While my first two basses were Fender, I don’t care to own any more. It’s just a personal choice, nothing really against them other than I think other makers do the same thing better. Ibanez for some reason is another I avoid. Never owned one, just not that interested.

    If you could only play one bass brand forever

    I love me some Hamer

    GoGo's - We Got the Beat - Not in a real key?! Am I crazy?

    I was in a Bon Scott era AC/DC cover band, those tunings are all over the place in the original songs. Some are down almost a half step, but not quite, some are sharper than 440. It just depended on the song and wherever Angus happened to be tuned I guess.
