    DR Users: Help me out!

    Do I need new pick ups???

    hey everyone, I have a fender modified jazz bass; sweat beads that ran off my face and onto the magnets on the pick ups during shows caused tiny rust spots to appear. There are 2 seymour duncan pickups on the bass. Does this make a huge difference in the quality of sound now? Should the...

    what's your favorite song to play on bass?

    Right now I'm stuck on playing Continuum by Jaco, I've known it for a while but lately I've just been having fun with it. There's some Esperanza Spalding lines I've been addicted to as well.
