Ben E King's Stand By Me is one of those beautiful classical songs where the Bass pretty much makes the song itself, which is why It pains me that I've never managed to get the sound quit right, So what I'm wondering is, Can I even get it to sound right on an Electric bass or would I need to get...

"Beautiful vintage 1959 Fender Precision bass. Original body, neck and case. Refinished by previous owner. Electronics and hardware have been replaced and are non-original. Plays and sounds fantastic." So, It's a vintage Fender , but everything that makes it a vintage fender is either...

I recommand that you give the SireV7 a try when you get a chance, it has great craftmanship and a beautiful neck, really a great bass for it's price. And down the road you can always upgrade the Pick ups to give the bass more punch. Ofc it might be a different bass for you that does the magic ...

Then your problem isn't that you lack rhythm, you just lack practice. As I've already said, you can't expect to master playing fingerstlye in just few months, you need to be persistant with it, it takes time and practice. Heck I'm a finger style player first and pick player second, Yet even to...

Yeah it's clean but still a bit too much playing imo, when I play that one i usually just ascent the chords to make them sound fatter. But the rest really works. So good job!

Nice cover! I liked the personal touches you added to it, but imo that last part would've benefited from a more subtle touch , rather than playing straight eight notes.

I don't see why you would have to switch. It doesn't need to be one or the other especially if you have an interest in producing music like you've mentiomed earlier. You can do both the guitar and the Bass. As for your degree, music can still be your side hassle, your passion project that you do...

Based!

I absolutely love the 4003. Such a great neck , such an aggresive sound. And I love rick James. Great bass lines. You gonna buy that sterling? I think they have a beautiful fat sound for finger style and a good sound with pick, but they are a little too much for slap unlike the real MM which is...

And see that is exactly your problem, fam. You expect few months of fingerstyle playing to sound the same as 4 years of playing with a pick. It just doesn't work like that. I'd like you to meet my friend : Now you see, my friend used to be a strictly pick player I used to play mostly finger...

Bro how long have you used the pick vs playing fingerstyle?

Nah the store doesn't sell second hands, I was checking a popular site im my country which is usually used to sell used good and unfortunately no one is selling a used P Bass currently...

Thankfully, the store I bought it from has a return policy so I'm definetely going to keep it for a few more days to see if I change my mind, but I feel I'm definetely going to trade it in for a cheaper Squier.

I honestly didn't expect this many responses and I thank you all for your replies. I value all the input. Tbh I love what Sire offers, believe they offer the best instruments for the price, however there are a few reasons I'm not getting a P7, one such reason being that It has a too modern...

So, recently I got asked by a friend of mine to record bass for her song. So I pulled out my trusted Jazz bass and started laying down the groove. And I've spent hours playing to the song and tweeking my sound to fit the feel of the song until it finally dawned at me: I need a P bass. Since...
