So glad you enjoyed it. I’m not a religious person, but I think Wooten Woods is hallowed ground. Seriously.

Hi, Vokain. The bass camp contained some of the same types of exercises as music camp. The biggest difference for me was that it was easier to play with musicians playing a variety of instruments at music camp than just only bass players. That said, I did learn a lot more bass-specific info at...

Ah, finally figured it out. Thx for your help!

Thx. I’m not seeing my name anywhere, though.

Subject line says it all. Thx.

Just FYI, you can start with any camp. I attended 4 music/nature camps before I attended bass/nature camp.

Thanks. And yeah, I get that. But then what's the point of having 2 pickups if they're both dimed all the time? I guess I'd like to be able to futz around with different settings. Know what I mean?

I absolutely love the feel of my Geddy's neck but not so much the single-coil pickups -- too much hum (Surely no reflection of my skill level, heh-heh) -- and would like to change them out. I play some lighter rock (The Band, Neil Young, Van Morrison) and some jazz but really love soul and...
