Joan Crawford played bass? Kiddin' .... AWESOME geddy

sigh... try 9... dee dee doo doo ;)

Singapore checking in here. I have a Washburn Bantam Bass. Bought it from Basses NW in Seattle in oh the late 1990s. Used to be played by a churchman, from the legacy stuff bequeathed to me in the case when I bought it. Plays like a dream, light as a feather with a nice beefy tone. On a...

nice one, I've got an EB-3... don't play it nearly enough but they rock. flats did u say? I've got to give that a try.

I LOVE this movie. The basslines on some of the tracks like "Tomorrow Never Comes" are good. And they do a good cover of "In Your Eyes" by Peter Gabriel. The backing vocals and tight bass and drums really make the songs for me, and Rainn Wilson is hilarious. I watch this show (alternating with...

My action is so high, anyone using it needs a Sherpa to get up my bass, baby! ;-)

One sign of the influence of the P is the number of P threads I'm seeing in a row tonight. Having said that, I don't think everyone needs a P in their lineup. A good sense of time, helps though.

Er no, IMHO. I've seen the same thing which you have described happen with many other brands of bass which don't need enhancements/pedals to blow socks off. Sounds like the player knew his stuff. And this is said with all the respect for the P as *the* bass that paved away for all the others.

Dude, you are gonna look like Kirk Hammet showed up at the Blue Note cellar if you know what I mean, but - and due diligence declared unapologetically from a T-bird player - your Bird can walk Charlie Parker and his gang all the way downtown, man! ;-) Nothing to add to what other posters have...

I'll get to your price question in a bit but... Just an experience from using a butterscotch Rockbass Corvette bought in Singapore. I bought one on an impulse - they sound good and are lightweight. But... the apparent lack of QC in the manufacturing on the particular bass I purchased led to...

A '97 Made in USA passive Fender Jazz. Sounded OK in the shop, I swear, and preferred it over the thud of a P-Bass. Just couldn't make it work after the cash was in the register - tried it in studio, live, etc. Anemic, dull tone. Spent a tonne and years trying to solve the problem - took it...

Dude, 40 here. Just about to go into studio to record my band's second full-length album; gigs and hopefully a tour thereafter. Believe! You are never too old. Just have to find the right partners who want to rock up with you!

beautiful basses and awesome project. keep the thunder coming!

Petersen Strobe Tuners!!!! -- now only our vocals are out of tune when we jam! :-)

Just sharing: the following is strictly my own experience. I bought a Rockbass 4-string for pretty much the same reasons. The electronics died on me after a few months, the volume pot jammed and stopped functioning and I've met a few owners - like myself - who found the jack comes loose very...
