    Best bang for your buck five string basses.

    I agree with the Sire V7 - I just bought one in natural - Awesome instrument. I've owned a Lakland 55-01 - Not really my cup of tea - even when it was set up all nice and stuff it still felt like a struggle to play it - Can't really put a finger on why. built like a tank though! I'm sure I could...

    Just "finished" mixing a track (hard rock) - critique welcome

    Too hot as in too high (volumewise)?

    So, nobody in the entire talk bass universe has anything to say about this?

    songs with surprisingly good bass lines

    when I first heard waterfalls I thought it had a good groove - but could never put my finger on why. Relistened it after I started playing bass. Awesome bassline in this one.

    A lesson for life

    I actually think the solo improves when he breaks the string

    Hey all, Been a long time since I've posted here on talkbass, but I really need your feedback on something Last year the Band and I went into a recording studio and recorded a couple of songs - We were stoked with the result but the price was high. We talked about it and we decided we might...

    Is this sound normal?

    first off I got the same pedal and can easily create your sound.... especially when I crank the drive as you did (looks like that in the vid anyways). I play an active bass (ibanez sr1205) - don't know if this bass has a hot output or not - but my standard settings are nowhere near yours...

    soul pog on bass?

    that's what I'm doing now - going Fred Astaire on my grit boxes when the guitarist is soloing - but it really doesn't sound like a rythm guitar in the background. Indeed it makes the bass fill up the void. Blaarg - do you have some footage of you filling in the role with the whammy? I'm asking...

    soul pog on bass?

    well we play hard rock I'd say - this is the only track we have out yet - - In this track it's not so much an issue - but some of the others we could use some extra filling when he's soloing - I think the bass whammy might be a bit over the top - I really don't dig the slides :( Yeah Royal...

    soul pog on bass?

    hey, So I'm in this 4 piece band. Drums, guitar, bass (duh) and singer. when playing live we sometimes sound a bit thin, when the guitarist is taking solos. We've tried having the singer play some guitar... he's all over the place, so I'm up for filling the part. I was thinking going the way of...

We are just 4 old asshats from denmark playing some rock -- last summer we recorded some originals - I would love to get some feedback...

    any preamp/booster better than MXR micro amp?

    I'm really pleased with both my tech 21 bass driver deluxe and my vt bass. The darkglass b7k should have tons of potential too.

    Good but different cover songs

    Hey, I thought we could share some nice covers of songs - only rule is that they have to be WAY different than the orginial. I'll give a few for starters. Orginal SOAD - Aerials - Orginal Lady Gaga ft. Beyoncé - Telephone -

    Help me out with "Seven Nation Army"

    btw - personally I think this cover is actually the best one.

    Singing and Playing

    The only other person in my band who doesnt get a panic attack when a mic is placed in front of him is our drummer. And when the mic is placed there everyone else, including me, is having a panic attack. I know im no worlds best singer, but at least I hit most of the notes and dont have a thick...
