See, I know my tone limitations on the 6-string. I'm not saying I'm a god with it, I'm just saying I know how to sound like bass when I play it. Honestly, the only reason I bring up the whole "quitting" thing is because I'm also in his pep/concert band class, and the crap I've had to deal...

Dear Talk Bass, I think this belongs here, if not please move it to the appropriate section. It really has to do with basses, so I figured this section would be fitting. Anyways, I tried out for my jazz band and I play a six string and a four string. I used the six, because the song he...

Hah, I auditioned for the jazz band today and the teacher asked me if I could use a four-string instead of my six. The six gets the best sound(In my opinion.) between the two of them, and he said it'd look more "traditional jazz" Little does he know my other bass looks like a metal bass...

I think he was forced to play sax, and therefore forced to play jazz, and he despised it because he had to play it and didn't choose it. But still, I can get a band room of rappers moving with some funk lines. I did it on Thursday night by myself actually. Quite fun to hear the compliments...

Okay, so I saw this a while back when I was a lurker, and I figured I'd repost this, because it's so dang funny!

I think mostly everyone knew it was a joke, but was saying why they started playing bass. In fact, I started "Because I had to." And it was THE best decision. Ever.

Well, I mentor a bass beginner who switched from sax because he didn't like the stuff they had him play in school. I get him and for the first lesson all I teach him is jazz, which I LOVE to play, and he says "This sounds like the stuff I played back in school!" Needless to say, I went for...

Demonic Criss. Ironic thing is, I'm Catholic and we go to a Catholic school.

When I first started off I was all about these two basses.... Until I played them! See, I do a fair amount of sitting while I play, and the shapes didn't really fit on my leg properly, so I'd sit down, play them for about 30 seconds, and was like "That's it! Done with that one!" Not...

Yeah, not to mention the fact I've heard bands worse than you guys get ongoing gigs at places in the city doing ORIGINALS. You guys aren't terrible, but you could definitely improve. Use this as a learning experience, and try for some gigs! You guys could get a few if you wanted, I'm sure!

Actually, it goes something like this: A man took a vacation to a distant island, and when he got off he heard drumming. He though, "Yeah! This is cool!" And he set off to do activities. He heard it when he was playing beach volleyball, when he was eating, and when he was showering before...

Aside from the fact it was fairly tasteless in my opinion I found it funny he could do that. Was he even trying to play anything?

I love my Rogue LX406. Plays like a beauty, and I can get whatever sound I need to out of it. Of course, I slap and pop on my Ibby Soundgear, because I <3 Ibbys. So yeah, price doesn't matter as much as ability does. Once you can play well find the bass that boosts your playing and buy it, no...
