Ryan Madora's Bass Cafe on Truefire might be a good choice for your friend's daughter - starts out with the very basics and progresses into more complex stuff (and for under $30 for lifetime access, hard to beat!). Would also recommend checking out Ryan's YouTube channel - not as structured as...

For as much as a novice's opinion is worth, I love my 200. Certainly sounds louder (to me) than the 100 when I was trying both out. Love the sound I get from it, whether through the main speaker or through headphones. Still learning to manage all the bells and whistles it has, but the biggest...

Just curious - what's the difference between the two Js? Flats vs rounds? Nice rig!

No worries - thanks! Love how my Player P sounds...

Indeed I do. :smug:

Thanks! First Club number I believe I've gotten here. As for experience, still very much a novice - I posted here almost exactly a year ago looking for advice on a first-time amp for a beginner - had been trying out different basses and amps at my local GC and fell in love with the Player P and...

Thanks! I'm still not wild about the color, but I love the sound, especially through the 200. And yes, a FANTASTIC wife, to say the least! (Not may wives would humor a 52-year-old husband who decided, rather out of the blue, that he wanted to learn to play the bass...much less encourage him!)

Just realizing that although I posted a NBD thread earlier this year when I got my first bass, I never posted here to ask for a number - my Player Precision LE (along with the new Rumble 200 my wife got me yesterday for our anniversary!) -

Thanks! It's our 20th, and yes, an amazing, kind, loving, and thoughtful wife.

I guess I need to ask for a number - just got a Rumble 200 as an anniversary gift from my wife! Loving the sound....

So almost exactly a year after joining and making my first post here, I found this on our doorstep after dinner last night. As a surprise for our anniversary, my wife ordered me a Fender Rumble 200! Now paired with the Player Precision I bought earlier this year - Have been practicing and...

I've actually read all 7 pages of replies to this thread; not just skimmed them, actually read them. And it's been fascinating. As a novice self-taught bass player myself (and even more rudimentary self-taught music theory student), my first instinct was that it depends whether you are trying...

Dead Can Dance; Within the Realm of Dying Sun, 1987 Perhaps tame by comparison in this thread, but in 1987 when I was a teenager...freaked me the hell out. But still one of my favorite albums, ever.

Not a bass, but still a regret... Fender 90s acoustic, solid spruce top, rosewood fretboard, traditional Fender headstock...with phosphor-bronze strings it sounded fantastic. (Not mine, but closest pic I could find)

Ironically, for me this was the exact opposite. The bass I ended up buying was one of 3 I had been trying out over several weeks - I had gotten to know it's feel, its sound, its balance, etc. As a rank beginner, I don't know what to look for with a bass "out of the box" vs the actual physical...
