Those dots look like M&Ms.

Finally got back in to my old TB account. I'm not sure if I should use this one anymore though. I've been around alot longer than I thought.

I'm not really sure where to put this, so I'll leave the post here for now. I have a guitar I really don't need, and would like to trade it for a bass guitar. I'm not sure how to go about this. It is a rather inexpensive student guitar, with a blue finish, and It has barely been touched. I got...

I just looked at the U bass, and that would be PERFECT, with only one problem: Price. As I mentioned, I'm only 16. From what I read and heard though, the U bass is based on the body of a Baritone Ukelele. Would it be possible to take something like...

My end goal? I'm not sure what you mean by that, but Eventually I want to join and/or start a band (Maybe a jazz/folk type deal). For now though, I want to start practicing Bass guitar and maybe some busking at my local farmers market.

Oh, I know that very well. Sadly, it being summer, my DB and Cello are locked up in my orchestra's locker room. The piano I usually use is an older Yamaha Clavinova Electric upright type.

Hello to the pals and gals of talkbass! My name's Tyson, I'm not a new member, but I haven't used my account in over a year, so I thought it best to reintroduce myself. I'm a double bass player who wants to get into bass guitar. I also play the cello and piano. Well, Hello!

Hi there. I'm a Double bass player who has been looking into getting a Bass guitar for a while, one for portability (16 and and only a bike for transportation) and to get away from the orchestral setting. At first I had my eyes set on a Dean Edge 09, but after going on down to my local music...

ok, So I know this is a newbie question, but I've been practicing pizzicato, which is fine, as I now have notes and counting down, but it's no good for slurs/hooks, dynamics, and the overall feel for the piece. I can't run out and get some rosin at the moment, but I really need to practice. Is...

hello! so, i guess I should get straight to the point. I want to start a band, But all I play is Double bass. How could I do this, without pinning my self with simple AAAAEEEAAAAEEEAAAEEAA stringed notes? I want to do something that people will listen to and hear the bass over the others...

hi there, my fellow bassist! i was wondering if any one knew of a site where you can get decent bass sheet music for free. Generes i am after are rock, hip hop, and things of this nature, thanks in advan:bassist:ce.

i was wondering if there was any one out there who could tell me how to make a built-in pre-amp for my custom electric fiberglass double bass. it needs to be able to fit into a slot in the side of the bass, which is about roughly about 5"-10" inches (it isn't actually made, i needed the preamp...

pickups for the bass were going to be the polar from pizeo, or something similar(i think they were used on the omnibass). I wanted the preamp similar to the Stagg, which allowed for some on board control over volume and pitch, and also had a jack for headphones.

hello. i am having a custom 3/4 size electric fiberglass bass made for me, and i wanted to know where or how to get a preamp, much like the one used in the Stagg upright. any help is greatly appreciated

i am a student bass player. I really like the sound of songs played on the violin and cello, but, of course, i cannot hit high enough notes to play such things. i wanted to know if there was some special technique to use to do this, or any songs which had prominent bass lines(this is one gripe i...
