    Developing good rhythm

    Play with the best drummer you can find and play a lot. You’ve only been playing for a few months so you should get it after a while. Play drums, I did that for a couple of years. I never used a metronome, but never had to since I was lucky enough to almost always play with a drummer. When...

    Carvin PB100-15

    I’ve had one for about 8 years. It's a good practice amp. I’ve used it with an acustic/electric band a few years back. 2 guitars, singer and bass. No drums fine for that too! I don’t think it would cut it with a rock band with a drummer.

    Advice on quickly learning covers....

    Well I’m just ending a similar learning event. But will have a total of 8 weeks in the end to learn 4 hours of music. It really only took about 5 weeks. But I was able to pick the songs. First I had or got the cd or downloaded MP3 files of the music. Printed out bass tabs if I could find...

    Loud acoustic bass?

    Maybe one with the largest body. I have two acoustic basses and I'm really not to impressed by thier volume unplugged.

    BEST VALUE ACOUSTIC HELP

    I have an Ibanez and a Rouge from MF. The Rouge sounds better playing it acoustically. Not so good plugged in because of it's poor pickup. But add one of those sound hole pickups to it and it sounds good with an amp. It cost less then $200. The Ibanez sounds good plugged in, because of it's...

    Thinking of buying a Squier Vintage Modified Precision Bass

    I've had mine for 3 weeks and it all I've been playing. It has the sound I need for what I'm playing now. Mostly classic rock. I really bought it for use as a backup. But I am having a hard time putting it down. I do own a custom jazz type bass that sounds good for most everything I play. But...

    Small amp recommendations?

    Maybe one of these. More than you want to spend, but you could probably use it for a small gig. Invalid Link Removed I have an earlier 100 watt model that I use for practice and have even gig with it.

    Squier VM or Fender MIM Standard P?

    Well I don't have a MIM P bass, but had the Squier VM P bass for 3 weeks. In that time haven't played my other basses. I also look forward to playing it next month with the band. It sounds great and plays well. It also cost $200 less than a MIM P. So I guess for the money...

    Squire Vintage Modified Precision an upgrade or?

    I've had the Squire Vintage Modified Precision for a week now and It's been pretty hard to put it down. I haven't play anything else all week. Today I'm going to try it on my practice amp in the living room. Not the "big" amp in the basement! I also have the feeling it's going to used for the...

    I received my Squier Vintage Modified Precision Bass

    I received my Squier Vintage Modified Precision Bass on Friday. I played it that night for a couple hours. On Saturday I set the bass up pretty quickly. But when doing this I noticed that the bridge was going to have to go. Too cheap for my liking. The pickgruard was scratched and dented over...

    Squire Vintage Modified Precision an upgrade or?

    Well I ordered a Squire Vintage Modified P bass from MF. The local Sam Ash had none in stock, so I couldn't try one out. So I'm hoping the one I get is good. But I haven't had any problems ordering guitars or basses in the past from MF. So there shouldn't be a problem! Thanks again for the...
