    Juan Alderete's instructional vhs tape...

    2 finger as fast as 3 finger plucking...

    Stingray - disadvantages

    I'm seriously thinking about getting one of these. I think i'm in love with it. however, before i make the purchase, are there any disadvantages to this bass? i've heard many good things about it, but what are some bad things about this thing? (this is a used sterling, it only has the bridge pickup)

    passive and active basses

    bump for additional opinions/info/discussion/etc. :) I found something that has caught my attention Ben Kenney: “If I can’t do it with that Lakland Joe Osborn, I probably can’t do it. I have yet to feel like I need more than passive electronics. I’m not much for having a computer in my...
