Yes as a Grateful Dead I pretty much love jamming . I Find it allows me to stretch out and grow on my bass and or guitar. And especially if you are in a trio band that play really well together you get to the point where you can play of each with ease and it's magical . When you think about it...

Yes. A p bass has a 42 - 43 mm nut. Try one the Ibanez SR basses it has 37 mm nut and a very thin neck . Like night and day compared to a p bass or a sting ray.

Yes I have been wearing earplugs for 25 years . For anything that seems loud whether listening or participating you have to have your ears plugged. Even a piece of Kleenex will do . You will experience hearing disorder eventually for sure kids if you like it loud with no protection . Thing is...

With the Squiers it is kind of hit and miss but if you get a good one they are as good or better then their American or Mexican counterpart costing 10 times more . It's all in how well they are set up really. This stock P Bass sounds and plays great. As good as any P Bass you might encounter...

Yes , An Indonesian P Bass will sound much better than one of the current Chinese ones as well as the Fender MIM , I have done the comparison . It is quite noticeable.

I would say You can't go wrong with an Affinity J Bass since mine blows away the American Standard Jazz Bass I just rented from Long and McQuads ! It just goes to show these daze what you pay has very little correlation with what U get . Surprisingly the Affinity has more tone and punch !

The Northern Pikes really had it all, Great songs , 3 lead singers , awesome guitar rock . They did have some of that eighties production but it's great stuff.

Music of My Mind, Innervisions, Talking Book, Fulfillingness' First Finale and Songs In The Key of Life . Quite a nice run of LPs he had back then . As well as all the great singles he had when he was younger makes him legendary . Very cool that 40 years later 77% of us have this music that will...

I have a question about my GK - 200RCB, It is a 100 watt amp at 4 ohms but I cannot seem to find a suitable 4 ohm cabinet , however there are many available at 8 ohms and I am wondering how well one of these would match up with my amp?

I find my 10 year old Indonesian p bass sounds way better than the newer Chinese ones.

...apparently I am not allowed to post a pic or I would ! ?

:bassist:I have an EBO bass and I love it. It is very old school sounding and can only be played with the flesh of one's fingers and thumb for a low throb. No picking or slapping for this baby . It is short scale which I like as well . It is the missing link between the modern electric bass and...

I think the music of the classic Rush era (everything up to the Signals album) is what has made them living legends . After that not so much , lots of good stuff for sure but not on the level of the 73 - 82 era. Fortunately they have toured all through the years . Many who were not around in...

I have an Affinity P bass and a J bass and they both sound awesome . Some Affinity are better than others , the newer made in China P bass is very inferior to the earlier Indonesian made ones . Yes they are kind of hit and miss that way but if you find a good one they are as good as any bass out...
