Hey, a fellow zebra. I understand that. Thanks everyone for the support, once again. I still am feeling down, so I decided to try a chance at singing and uke instead of just playing bass for satisfaction. I hope that no one is dissatisfied with that. I have a high tenor voice, scratched from...

Hello everyone, and thanks for the advice. It's actually both thumbs. I am right-handed, and I play right-handed. I have major issues with playing nowadays, but I was once a pretty good jazz dude. I was feeling a bit down so I posted here, and the advice from all you folks made me feel a bit...

I have loved bass and bass guitar since I was 12. I spent a great deal of learning jazz, rock, etc basslines, and I felt established and proud. And then, one day, my thumb didn't quite work right. Enter: Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome. I am not ashamed of all the basslines that I will never learn - my...

Price Dropped

28 now, been playing since I was 13. I think. So... awhile, I'm not good at math.

I'm very interested. Like dtsamples, I played there in high school, but I bet it's a bit different for you. Keep us in the know!

There are lots of reasons to go with teaching her righty, but give her a guitar and see which way she plays it. I'm a lefty, I play righty, but that's only because my great-grandmother's guitar was right handed. When I picked it up, I played it left handed naturally. Some instruments (ie most...

"Bassist seeks original band. Pro gear, no addictions, please email for samples of previous work. Country not desired, rock preferred, all other genres considered." That doesn't indicate gender, age, or background. No identifying information given at all, actually. Straightforward is always...

This seems like a very good idea. Do you want the ads to have metatextual content, like writing the reason for why you worded something this way or why you're lying about your age? That could go in parentheses, like this. I RAWK SO HARD! (I write it this way to turn off anyone who is too...

LOL, well, as always, YMMV. ;)

The only answer at that price point is well-used gear that everyone hates that is in the hands of someone who doesn't need it. I personally would look for higher powered Peavey combos, or maybe a nasty-looking Fender Rumble 250, like I got at that price point. The trade-off is that it's ugly but...

Yes. It is another weapon in the tone arsenal.
