    Bought my 1st bass today and i am happy about it!

    Cool, but I suggest you stay away from Affinity in the future, the TRBXs by Yamaha are cool to start too. Most importantly, what are you studying?

    Harry Styles

    Gotta say it's better than most music marketed at teenagers these days. I can tell the guy has done his rock'n'roll "homework". I'm assuming he produced the song and played most parts, right? :headphone: Is it me or does he sound a bit like Rivers Cuomo during the chorus? Does your daughter...

    What's the most famous make of bass you've NEVER HELD?

    I really want to get my hands on a Reverend, specifically talking about a Mike Watt Wattplower Mark II :bassist:, I just love everything about its design. Maybe I would like to play a Hofner Violin Bass, just for kicks:cool:. <ignorant opinion> I don't know what's wrong with me, but the...

    DI box that doubles as a headphone amp?

    Get a 4-channel usb recording powered mixer, you can get one for peanuts and it's usefulness is greater than most fancy bass gizmos. ;)

    Who here writes off a bass due to headstock/tuners configs?

    Anything's cool, except Fender, I don't really get the fetish about them.:dead:

    Yea or Nay

    Nah. I would rather pay for bass lessons, that's lazy, seems like it was done by someone without formal design training, maybe that's the charm, maybe I don't get it. :bag:

    Help. I Think I Need A Different Amp.

    I'm no one to give any advice, but I'm curious, could you share a few samples of your recordings? It would also be interesting if you could mention what sound in particular you're trying to achieve? It would be cool to listen to your sound, text doesn't help much.:headphone: I would be more...

    Why did I waste so much time being a pro musician?

    One man's trash is another man's treasure. Your post reminded me of Jaco's Wikipedia entry, it says: "In 1985, while filming an instructional video, Pastorius told the interviewer, Jerry Jemmott that although he had been praised often for his ability, he wished that someone would give him a...

    What's your favorite?

    Cherub DP-950, the cheapest metronome with drum sounds, I hate digital metronomes they're soporific :dead:. A Dunlop Jazz III Max-Grip pick :roflmao: LOUDA4, it's a powered mixer, it's nice to practice, you can plug anything to it and record, it's 100% times better than nothing :thumbsup:.

    What's your Favorite Budget Bass?

    Yeah, I looked at the Ibanez SR300EB, they look almost the same at first glance, but in the end I liked the Spectra's design more. The output jack in the Spectra points downwards and is on a side, while the SR300 has it pointing somewhat upwards and is in your face, which I didn't really like...

    What's your Favorite Budget Bass?

    I got me a Jackson Spectra JS3 for $250 five months ago, and I love it. It's pretty comfortable to play, it's inviting. Since I'm not a bass expert I'm pretty sure people who are knowledgeable will find lots of flaws in it, but I love it (I must sound like sh** lol). I've seen some other cheap...

    I Can’t Hear Any Notes!

    I guess someone less skilled wouldn't get the expected sound for bass in this type of music. Maybe the intended audience is looking for less traditional bass sounds. Maybe the situation in the video needed an entertainer more than traditional bassist. I don't really enjoy this style, but to...
