Thanks guys! That helps a lot.

Hey guys, I need some help with the root note. As a bassist your basic job is to play the root note, and then get fancy with it if your up to it. My understanding was the root note was the first note in a chord, but since I also play guitar I found out this is not always the case. How will I...

If anyone knows the band Cut Off Your Hands, if you know what the bassist uses for his bass to get that punchy sound, like really stands out. I want to get that sort of sound. Like in their songs "still fond" or "you should do better" thanks for any help!

Yea I googled cause that bass line is sexy as hell, but no one seems to know it. Also what did they use on their bass to make it sound like that? Anyone? Haha

Thanks tangent! Always there to help!

I am curently recording a couple songs just to have them. Show a couple of friends whatever. Doesn't need to be professional. But I am having some trouble. I record the guitar on "garageband" using this thing from guitar center called a "lightsnake" works really well. I dont have a drum set so I...

Check out "Tokyo Police Club" easily my favorite band. Dave Monks lead singer/bassist is a boss. Check out "In A Cave" by them Sweet Bass. All their songs have really strong edgy Bass. Being a Bass player I like to really hear the Bass. Plus dave has badass lyrics.

Ive been trying to figure out for the longest time how to get my bass to soukd like Dave's. TPC is my hands down favourite band of all time! I play bass so I wanted to get that same sound. It sounds distorted but not to much. Sounds ****** with my distortion on my bass amp. So I see what he...

Well you have plenty of time to practice! Definatley find songs you enjoy and learn the bass. Warning not all tabs are correct on the internet though. Look up scales for bass to. I have been playing guitar since I was 13 and now im 16 and playing bass. Building up your fingers is very important...

Tokyo Police Club! One of my favourite bands of all time. They are an Indy band from Ontario, Canada. Dave Monks is the lead singer and bass player. I know almost all their songs on bass. Nature of the Experiment is one if my favourites to play. You should check them put for sure. Great bass...
