My wife and I are leaving for the Appalachian Trail on April 1st. We are selling pretty much everything we have. That being said, my Upton bass is for sale. I am wanting $3000 for it. This bass has a killer sound. Out of the hundreds of basses I played, I got this one. Please contact me for...

I love my ibanez sr505

Thanks hbarcat and pbasswill. This is the info I was wanting to hear about.

Thanks for the help, how do i know what frequencies are what. I wish there was a book on eq. I did mess with the eq anlittle today in our 9 hour practice : ) but didn't see a big change.

10 years or so, currently studying music at lee university. I play in the gospel group, jazz, and Orchastra. I hope yall don't think I'm being cocky im really not, i know im not the best. but I know there is more to the tone of different bass players the technique. I know the tone of a squire...

I did but he says your equipment doesn't matter, same thing everyone says, but if that's the case why do pros use so much equipment?

Honestly I don't think my technique is the problem. I'm not trying to be cocky, and I know there is always room for improvement but I've been playing for a long time. Victor wooten has played my bass and our tone was the same.

I think your right about my playing position. I just recently started playing with a stool, because I've had several knee surgeries and it's hard to stand through orchestra. I think it probably is the fact that I'm sitting and hold the bow to high, how do I fix this, shorten the bass, make it...

French bow right shoulder

Lately I have been experiencing pain in my bowing shoulder. Any suggestions?

I recently purchased a 1/2 size on eBay on accident' the guy said it was 3/4. Anyway, the main difference between it and my 3/4 was the neck. It was much thinner IMO it would be difficult to switch back and forth.

I would say strings make the most difference for the least work/money.

Just got home with my new five string. I got an ibanez sr505 with a mahogany body and a bubagina neck. It has bartoloni pickups. I got it for a little over five hundred. Out off all the ones I played today this one was sweet. The neck is thin just like my cirrus, and it's super light. It's got a...
