    reggae bass?

    It's true that all basses work for reggae, depending of course on what exact tone you're after. But for me a neck PU and flats are crucial for the tone I want. I use my G&L L-2000 Tribute with D'addario Chromes, and it's perfect! I put it in neck, series, active, and roll off a tiny bit of...

    Going to New York City, where can I find nice basses?

    Wow you guys, thanks for all the very informative answers! I'm sure looking forward to check out some of these stores, especially Rudy's and maybe a factory tour or two with my dad if we get the chance! But is it actually hard to find a Dingwall/Dingwall Combustion in NYC? Oh, and on a...

    Going to New York City, where can I find nice basses?

    Hi! I'm a Norwegian bass player who's going to the U.S./NYC for the first time by the end of March/ beginning of April. One of the things I'm really looking forward to is to be able to try some brands of basses that simply ain't available here in Norway. What basses? Most basses actually, as...

    G&L Club Part 6

    You sir, have one of the meanest basses I've ever seen! Right up there with Bootsy's Star Bass with 5 jazz pickups. Will you record some sound samples? I wanna hear it!

    Norwegian bassplayers on talkbass.com

    Takk for gode tips om fleire stader eg ikkje hadde tenkt på! Eg trur den facebooksida kan ha eit ganske bra potensiale om fleire meld seg inn, eg er medlem av den dei har i Trondheim og der er det veldig stor aktivitet. Kjenner du ikkje igjen nynorsk? Eg skriv sjølvsagt ikkje på dialekt...

    Norwegian bassplayers on talkbass.com

    Hei folkens! Eg har budd i Oslo i eit halvår no, og no har eg bestemt meg for at det er på tide at eg finn meg eit band eller nokon å spele med her i byen. Men kva er den luraste måten å gjere dette på? Eg har tenkt å henge opp oppslag på musikkbutikkar f.eks., har fått med meg at det er den...

    Bassists Who Drive Manual Club!

    I agree, and I think that mindset is stupid. If I use cruise control, I notice I'll pay less attention to the traffic, not more. The fact that you have to concentrate with a stick shift is a good thing. Instead of mindlessingly just following the road, you're actually thinking about what you're...

    Bassists Who Drive Manual Club!

    This thing about being "to old for manual". If you're to old to drive manually, you shouldn't be driving at all. I know people well over 80 that drive manually.

    Bassists Who Drive Manual Club!

    I don't have my own car as I'm only 20, but when I'm home, i drive my familys Volvo V50 (2007). Lazy americans.. In Norway everyone drive manual. I have in fact never tried driving a automatic car. And the fact that you guys learn to drive in the US is with automatic transmission sounds kinda...

    Is your most expensive bass your best 'player'?

    I voted yes, my G&L Tribute L-2000 is a better sounding and a better player then my OLP MM2. And that's why I bought it.
