The Roots and Erika Badu's "You Got Me"

It does look cool as ish! Must be for a lefty. I wonder how heavy that beast is.

These shots suck of my new SR 705. I'll take better pics next time with the rest of my gear. These are taken from a friends blackberry.

I love this site! Now, being he idiot that I am, what are the functions of pick ups? I have a Ibanez SR 705, and it came with Bartaloni MK1 pickups. I don't know what what all that means. All I know is that it has a switch. I need to learn what passive and active means. I picked up my bass just...

I had a Rogue LX 205, and it was nice. Then again, I don't know anything about basses. Just how to hold em and play notes. It's a wonder why they were discontinued. The worst I played was a Yamaha. No matter what you did with the actions, the strings were always too high off the frets. It did...

I feel so much better after reading the 2 prior threads and this one. I don't feel so out of place. I have an Ibanez SR705. I only know that one knob is the volume, and the others are for the low, mid and high. I don't know what that little switch is for. I don't know what pick ups do. What is...

Since this is an Ibanez club, I have to ask? Why do people hate them so much? I am an ameture when it comes to this. I don't hear the difference myself when it comes to basses other than playing around with the knobs. Once again, I can play nice, but crap on knowing what I'm doing or supposed to...

LMAO!!!!! I guess I'm a latin Jazz type bassist. Give me salsa, or some samba and songo beats, I can making all kinds of noise and havepeople dancing. Then I wake up and it's back to polka for me :)

To everyone who tried to help me out, a big thanks. It was the stupid battery. Now I know not to skimp on the brand of 9 volt battery. I used a very generic brand and it died in a week. The copper top it is from now on. I took back to the store, and the dude plugs it in and starts jamming on...

Sadly, I don't have time to look at what you guys define as "Mediocre". I can roll with the punches. I play in quite a few church bands. I don't slap for more than 2 minutes. I only know one tap pattern. I don't know how to read music, but my ear is killer. I don't have fast fingers and I don't...

A lot of noise is crackling, popping and it's followed by "eeeeeeeeeeeeeehhhhhhhhh" type sound. I have changed the battery, but I will also lower everything on the amp to see if it continues. I'd figure since the bass is brand new, I wouldn't have had to clean anything out. You guys are a bit of...

I'm new to this site. I'm loving it! I don't anything about bass sounds, and pickups or anything technical. I am a right handed player who learned to play on an SR 300L. Someone told me I was playing a left handed bass. They swicthed the strings for me, added a bolt so I can use the strap for a...

So I'm new to this forum. I have been playing for 5 years. I just picked up a 5 string bass because I wanted o go from 4 strings to five. My first bass was a Ibanez SR 304. I don't know anything about anything. I don't know the difference between a soft sound or a hard sound. I don't know what...
