    If P basses, J basses and Ricks never existed, what would a bass look like, now?

    man, I gotta admit I think that just looks tacky... not a fan of see-through instruments, especially not this thing!

    Things to do before playing with others...

    I think the most important thing to remember is that no one is perfect - not even yourself! There will always always always be stuff that could have been done better :)

    Would I regret selling my Mesa 400 to go to a TH500?

    I seriously considered buying a TH500, but in the end went instead with a Genz Benz stl 6.2.... such a nice amp and super lightweight and easy to pack around! Combined with a Genz Benz 210 I'm set! So much power and so much quality tone... You can find the amp for 500 dollars online as well...

    Isnt it funny how everyone seems to have a Squire or mim that plays better than any mia theyve ever

    I heard a rumour with Fender Strat/Tele guitars that the MIM's were getting 'too good' in comparison to the MIA's and so people were buying them instead of the MIA's cos it was basically the same instrument for a fraction of the price. Could there be a similar thing with basses?

    Curious - Basses & Cars from TB'ers - Any Correlation?

    I'm all about practicality and adaptability. I've got to be able to do a lot with a little, which I think is pretty well reflected in my car and bass choices! I've got a 97 5 string American Deluxe Jazz as my primary bass, and a 2002 Mazda Protege 5, which is a great hatchback/wagon with lots...

    Tasteful use of a B string

    I really love the low B string... It's just a fat explosion of low end which I really like, obviously when used tastefully. I think the best use of it is a couple times for one off fills or notes per song. Dropping down a 4th from the E string is always really tasty.

    Best crowd singalong material

    To be fair, I don't think Kurt Cobain knew many of the words either.

    How often do you practice your bass? POLL

    The dream at the moment would be an hour a day, if I could do that on top of everything else I do I would be very happy... As it stands tho I only get 2-4hrs of individual practice per week (Usually have at least one rehersal or gig a week on top of that tho which doesn't really count... but at...

    Let's spread some musical misinformation

    The Seinfeld theme tune is the only song in the world that features slap bass.
