Bass Station 2 is one of options that I'm considering. Examples that I heard sound nice to me. Some people told me it tends to get lost in the mix though.

I think I caught a GAS for some synth bass keyboard. Have anybody here used it? Anolog or digital. Expensive or cheap. Bigger or smaller. What is your experience? Moog analog bass synths sound sweet but cost just too much for me. Probably gonna get something less pricey.

I'm already in a band. But recently I started to realize that being in band takes more time and effort than I'm ready to invest. The further it goes the more I feel like it is not for me. I would better record my own stuff at home without any duties and responsibilities. Now I struggle trying to...

The first bass I ever held in my hands was my friend's cheap P bass with a "Square" logo that had the same font as "Squier". Never found any info about these basses. Just like if they never existed. I'm still wondering why would anybody decide to imitate "Squier" logo instead of "Fender".

A good advice here. No kidding. Improving speed takes a lot of time and patience. You have to add BPMs slowly step by step. If your band needs higher tempos right now it is better to join a slower one instead of struggling with tempos that you can't handle yet and spoiling your technique with...

When I first ever saw a cherry sunburst guitar I thought it was defective. I was like "What's wrong with that fading to yellow in the middle? Why not solid red?" Now i see it is as one of the most beautiful finishes. I also started finding vintage looking instruments more attractive. They...

If you have about 15 basses why not sell some other one? I bet there should be at least a couple that can go with no problem.

As much I'm really impressed with how you guys can get through tough situations like that, I'm also pretty shocked with how irresponsible BLs can be if they purposely make that happen.

Several times had a nightmare. I'm on stage with guitar in my hands and have to play with one of my fav bands in front of a huge crowd. Everyone is looking at me. And... I just don't know how to play any of their songs!

When I write a song it means that I compose lyrics, vocal melody, chord progression and guitar riffs. Others are allowed to add or change anything. But if I want to call it my song then most significant parts of it should be created by me. If I only bring a bass line it'll mean that I just made...

Currently I am in a surf rock band. But I didn't specify the genre purposely because I would like to be ready for everything from pop to metal.

Should I always cover a kick drum with a bass note or may I leave it "naked" sometimes? When I was making music on my computer I felt like it is better to not leave a kick drum alone without a bass played over it. Exceptions could be drum fills including a kick drum or some parts where drums...

In 2016 I played twice more then in 2015! It sounds like a great progress but actually I started playing bass the end of 2015, joined my first band in December (thanks to all the TB members who told me to not hesitate and go for it) and played my first gig with them in less than three weeks...

I'm just curious. Why do we use our main hand for picking and the secondary one for fretting? Picking, plucking and even slapping seem to be relatively simple kinds of motion in comparison to fretting that is way more complicated and requires much more stretch, strength, attention and sometimes...

Hi everyone. I am not familiar with how bass electronics work and have a nooby question. Wanted to google it first but don't know what exactly to search. So decided to ask people. My bass has two passive pickups and a 3-way pickup switch. Neck pickup has deep tone, bridge is bright, but in the...
