    The Truth About Being a "Good" Bass Player

    +100 If I was looking for fame and fortune, I definitely wouldn't go the music route, regardless of what instrument you play. Bass is essential to any band and just because no one throws flowers at your feet or swoons at your bass prowess doesn't mean it isn't important to the product. Like Yerf...

    Input on Roland Bass Cube RX

    Before you say anything, I looked in the reviews section and saw zero, so if anyone has any input on the little Cube RX, smack me with it. In return I will ship you 40 virgins, a new Ferrari, gold lame thong underwear (only worn a few times) and a slightly used nosehair removal tool. Mucho thanx!

    Most Versatile Bass?

    I'm just curious. What is it about the Tobias that you don't like? Upgrading is fine as long as you really upgrade, but change just for the sake of change is something I've never really understood. Whenever another bass player asks me what the most versatile bass is or the what's best bass for...

    Hello and.... what bass?

    Some people find treasures on Craigslist and Ebay and really make out well but to be honest, in your price range, which is a reasonable one, I have only come across junk that needs more work than I'm willing to put into it.

    Gotoh 201 issues?

    The Gotoh bridges come with 12mm saddles and if that is what you already have on your current bridge, no problems, but alot of bridges (like mine) have 8mm saddles. No probs either really, just swap saddles to lower the action back to where you like it and leave the neck shimming and truss rod...

    Advice please

    I can't comment too much on your Peavy. The hissing and moaning might be the bass or it just might be showing its age and alot of people use 20 year old amps with no prob, but repairing an amp is tricky and you can easily spend more money than it's worth trying to fix it. It might be time for an...

    I Dont Know What To Do....

    Being in a band can be either the best or worst experience of your life, and it sounds like this is rapidly becoming the worst for you. Take it from me, if it bugs you now, it's going to drive you nuts in about 6 months. Before it gets to the point when the band goes from being friends to guys...
