If this baby is still available in a few days after I sell my bass bone...I am extremely interested.

Hello, I am planning a trip to Chicago to check out the scene, hear some music, maybe go to a jam session and most omportantly perhaps get a lesson!!!! Any studio, theater, touring, locally gigging etc bass players want to give a lesson? I will be up there the weekend of the 15th of...

soundcloud.com/justin-mcfarland This is just a few self recorded stiff and some recordings and shows I did with a steel drum group (loved it) Hope you all enjoy it. Played all the non steel drum and horn tracks meself. Guitardedness and all. I claim no talent hahaha. Enjoy

Man I am so appreciative for all this information! You guys are the best...oh wait you are bass players...of course you are. Now I suppose I need to go upright shopping. ugg : )

Wow...that makes so much sense. That is a lot more easy and efficient. I would prefer that almost. Is this used in other places?

So I recently put the FCH bridge on my 89 Fender "Boner" jazz. I wanted a badass 2 but for some reason they are harder than Chinese Algebra to find. If anyone is interested in trying this bridge!!! DO IT! The old fender bridge on that bass left a ton to be desired. There were several...

Can you explain this Nashville number system? Is it a type of chart? A phone book? I really have no clue. This concerns me a bit:eek:

Love love the fact that bass players can get on here and share knowledge!!! I thank you so so much and welcome any other posts or advice. I hope that one day I can be in a position where I can give advice to a young aspiring player. Personal skills are wonderful and necessary. I have been...

Thank you all so much for the replies and information!!! I am so happy that this forum exists so that all who love the bass can share their knowledge. I only hope that one day I can help a young wet behind the ears bass player myself. I cannot thank you enough. I would enjoy thousands of more...

Thank you so much for the advice. I appreciate your wisdom and love for Robert Fripp!! I can play upright. I do not own one. I studied with Andrew Kohn at WVU. To answer your question without sounding cocky in any way (I have worked my a$$ off since I picked one up) I can indeed sight...

I know you guys hear this all the time. I apologize if I beat a dead horse with any of these questions. This can be a scary move when you don't know where to start I am making the jump to try and play bass for a living. I know I have a long and difficult road ahead of me. These questions are...

Sorry Justin. I was a fool and did not read the "please read first" first. Not sure if these are questions you would answer. Thanks anyway dude

I know you guys hear this all the time. I apologize if I beat a dead horse with any of these questions. I am making the jump to try and play bass for a living. I know I have a long and difficult road ahead of me. These questions are not about the playing or the gear. 1. I do not have a...

It wont come again for another 100 years. Celebrate with the wise and scoff the slandering Hippocrates HAPPY 2112!!!!:bassist:

I shall specify. My hands aside. Which bass will fit the bill for most styles/genres? Which bass can I take out to gigs or rehearsals without having to feel like it is made out of glass. Both of these basses have great tones and my fingers are where they need to be. I mean a pro driver can...
