Talkbass - Not the fish!

I guess I was thinking of some video lessons where the teacher drones on with anecdotes, or having to watch repetitive introductions and greetings in every segment of a YouTube series. ...umm, I may have have ADD ...

I chose Bass for Dummies when I decided to learn to play, having had no formal music education since grade school (many, many moons ago). The advantage of this over learning from the web, YouTube, a stack of Hal Leonard books, or even a teacher, is that it is efficient. The author and the...

Love Wikiloops! Just what I've been craving. Seriously, I have downloaded every drum machine prog and rhythm track I could find but they are a pain to use. I play along with YouTube videos, but they can be a hassle to find and the commercials are annoying. I like being able to search a...

Bass-haiku throwdown! That's what we need to practice -- words with notes -- non-stop.

"Irony has three!" "No, it has one syllable", you say in error.

Thanks so much for the info. It sounds like La Bella is the way to go for flats and tapes. Is there another vendor for round wounds that could provide a set with the silk winding and the B-string taper in the proper location?

Hey, I just scored a Rondo Brice HXB-406 Short Scale 6-String Bass and I want to put new strings on it. Doesn't look like there are many options out there. I would like to start with LaBella Deep Talkin Flats, but the sites I checked only listed 4-string sets in short scale -- no 6-string SS...
