Im sure this isnt a new concept or idea, but it is new to me. I have 4 different basses, and yes they all sound different but what I decided to do was to make each one unique. I love playing the blues and am leaning into Tomy Shannon, since I have a pbass and a jazz bass as every player should...

So I started this post and none of basses had names. however reading through all of these responses I have come up with names for my four basses. 1) Sterling Ray 34 'Ray" 2) 2002 Fender Jazz Bass- "jazzy" 3) Michael Kelly Pinnacle 5- "Pretty girl" because shes pretty and never gets played 4)...

This may be a strange question. But I was noodling around last week and my wife refers to my bass as the other woman. Then she asked me if I named her. I think the question stemmed from what she knows about BB King and Lucille the most famous guitar ever. So I am curious do any of you all name...

I love the sound of a fretless, that might be my next bass

yeah I have a fiver which never gets played, except maybe once a year, i enjoy the versatility of my jazz bass. However the two basses that sound noticeably different are my sterling music man and my p bass. I play rock and blues and the p bass just feels right, but the stingray is still...

I dont know if this is the right forum but if it is not I am sure they will move it. For those of you with more than one bass. Do you mainly practice with your gigging bass or another in your stable. I only have 4 basses but i primarily perform practice and rehearse with my P bass with flats

It's kind of a one trick pony if I may. This all started with my most recent gas acquisition. I had 3 basses p bass, jazz bass and 1 5 string Michael Kelley. On a whim a great deal came up on a sterling ray 34. I pulled the trigger and the moment I played I fell in love . The mids are so much...

Hey all, I have a fender Rumble 500 amp and a Fender rumble cab. I am thinking about getting a new setup for no other reason than I want one. If I go with a different amp, is that going to change my sound. Let me be clear i know that I can always adjust the settings , but I have heard of the...

wow you would do that for ME? youre quite a pal. you need my social too just to make sure its real?

i dont know about all that, but I did hear that it has been scientifically proven that people who play precision bass live longer than people who don't

The thing about the p bass. it just feels right. Mine has been relic'd so it looks like its been played. It has the flats so each note feels good to play. Like someone else said you just plug and play . I havent been playing seriously long enough. (yes ive been a member over 10 years long well...

I like your thinking

I enjoy bass as much as the next guy probably more than a lot. Recently i have been toying around with different types of basses. In addition to a MIM P Bass, I have a Jazz bass and a five string Michael Kelly Pinnacle that I have been playing with for the past few months. In toying with the...
