    Yeah, not sure what the deal is. I'm trying to get a hold of the seller. Probably a typo... :rollno:

    What the heck is this bass?

    The ad says it's a Fender Precision Bass Lyte, but it doesn't look like other Lytes I've seen. It's really cheap so I was thinking about picking it up... [Invalid or Expired Link Removed]

    Noob question: Index/Middle finger tone

    Thanks, man! You Canadians are always so friendly! I used to think of Canada as the United States' hat, but it's really more like the US is Canada's knickers. (I apologize profusely for the GWB mishap. We're currently trying to correct the problem)

    Name Bass Lines That Make The Song Work

    First post from a new bass player. Picked up an Agave Blue P-Bass a few months ago and I can't put it down. One of the great things I've found about learning the bass is that you start to rediscover all the amazing bass lines of songs that you've always loved. A few of my favorites: Stand...
