I really agree! I totally wasn't expecting it to be as killer as it was, especially since I really don't enjoy Gibson/Epiphone basses that much. It sounds like a thunderbird, but its also capable of spitting out more tones than some of the Gibson ones I've tried with just the traditional...

Whenever I'm doing anything in the minor pentatonic scale, sometimes I like to throw in the seconds and thirds from minor scale into what I'm playing. If you throw them in at the right spot, you can seriously add a lot to the bass part. If you're interested, I could do a cell phone video to...

Hey! Watched the video and read some of the previous posts. I think Boomers would get you closest to the sound, but those die pretty fast (At least in my experience) so I'd steer away from those. Honestly, I'd start out with D'addario Nickels. They make them in various scale lengths and they're...

Don't really care for a number, but I have a set of Chromes on my Squier CV 60's P bass. They're not as great as I thought they'd be, but they definitely do have a pretty decent sound and wow wee do they slap great! The feel is so ridiculously smooth compared to roundwounds (Which is what I'm...

Yes! I agree with this one hundred percent! Also, one thing my bands have done is whenever the lead guitarist is done soloing, he'll play the rhythm part that was behind the solo with the whole band for two bars before we go to the next part. It might not work so well with every song you guys...

From my black/doom Metal band Ruins of Golgotha's second show My hardcore band Mea Culpa! My drummer in this band plays guitar in Ruins of Golgotha. I played twice because I'm in both bands. Both these we're on the same day :)

I've been in this situation quite a lot! Eye contact and movements are cues that definitely help out in situations like these. Also I like to count everything in even numbers. Like if I can't remember if a verse or chorus goes 4 bars or if it goes longer, I anticipate it to go to the next part...

Honestly the only time I ever used GHS Boomers they died in literally a day. I played by myself for like 3 hours and I was primarily playing with fingers/pick. Maybe I just hit a bit harder and/or my body chemistry makes em' go bad, but I have a really hard time seeing how they'd last anyone a...

There's way too many for me to actually remember or name here but one of my bands that didn't work out was going to be named "Raising The Channel". Our guitarist kept insisting on using it but the drummer and I didn't understand it and we still have no idea why he found it remotely interesting...

Haha yep! I didn't actually have anything to do with the name, they had a different bassist before me. They showed me this video after I joined and it all started to make sense! :)

Here's a pic of my Epiphone Thunderbird Pro IV :). When I first got it, I was on vacation in Destin, Florida and I spotted it in a pawn shop! I just had to have it, and I ended up walking out of the shop with it for $250! This was right after I got it, obviously it needed some humidification on...

This is ultimately why I haven't gotten a Jaguar V from the Vintage Modified line. I just feel like most of the Vintage Modified basses I've tried didn't really stand up as well as I thought they would regardless of it being a four or fiver :meh:

Really diggin' the bass! I've wanted one of those for awhile but I haven't gotten around to buying one yet. Am the only one who really wishes Fender would make a five string Jaguar under the Fender line? Squier has em' and obviously and no hate to them (I mean my two favorite basses are my 4...
