    What's your lightest yet best sounding bass guitar?

    This one (not my actual bass, just a stock photo I found on the Internet, but very similar) Circa 1969 aria violin bass. Other than that, I know nothing else about it except it sounds beautiful - really warm tone.

    The "Official" Talkbass Rachel Bolan Fan Club

    Rachel was my influence for taking bass seriously . . . On Skid Row's first tour of Oz, I was about 5 rows from the front of the stage (small venue so we were really close), and, I don't know what song it was in, but I swear he looked me dead in the eye ! Got home midnight that night, pulled...

    Underrated Bassists

    Acoustic to Electric

    Howdy all :) Hopefully I'm in the right area for this. Was wondering if anyone could offer some technical advice ? I have a monteray 4 string acoustic bass that has just never really sounded right, uneven string volumes through the piezo. Want to try something radical and mount a basslines...

    Strings hitting the fretboard?

    Have a listen to Ryan from Mudvayne, and Muzz Skillings (?) from early living color. They both hit the strings at almost right angles on purpose so the strings slap the upper register frets ( almost like slapping with 2 thumbs ). It gives their sounds a distinct tone and cuts right through both...

    Bass & Guitar Rig combo ?!!

    Hey guys, just a newbie here, but i was wondering if i could get some advice ? I'm thinking of running a split signal from my bass, one into a warwick pro fet 4 and 4x10 cab, and the other into a Laney tube fusion guitar head and 2x10 cab ( cant fit 2 quads into my car ). both would be miked...
