I honestly wouldnt even encourage this idiot, most guitar players have egos, I would of just been like whatever u say pal and ignored him, by doing this u show him that his thoughts do not matter to u, ur secure and u can care less about his abilitys witch will hurt his ego. Even if u do it and...

Why limit yourself music theory and good pitch go hand and hand each song u listen to is played in a certain key or keys, being able to identify the key the song is in will limit the the note selection and will save u a lot of time, if it is guess and check like u say u are making mindless...

Thanks for the reply's, the bass is a musicman sterling the fingure board of the neck is rosewood and the back is maple. It could be in my head but the back of the neck seems dry, I have other basses that have a maple neck and it does not seem as dry, I dunno I am not to knowledgeable when it...

Id say in that price range ur best bet is the MIM Jazz Bass, you should also look at the korean made musicmans they sound and feel pretty sweet as well.

Music Man Music Man Music Man, played a Fender Jazz Bass for a few years, just bought a double humbucker musicman sterling and this thing is amazing.

I hope this is the right place to post these questions, on the back of the neck of my bass the wood seems like its getting a little dry what can I put on it too add a little moisture. Also there are some fingure prints on my pick ups that are not coming off when I try to just wipe it with a...

Why not go for a pre owned mim fender jazz bass should be very easy to find one in great condition for under 400 the market is filled with them and its a great playing bass.

This is very true, I been playing for about 6 years now the first year I played strictly by ear, when I started taking lessons and learning music theory I went back and analyzed all the basslines I was playing and identified the patterns I was playing. Knowing the theory though could save some...

Picked her up last night at GC for about 1000 even brand new, with hard shell case, love it, such a nice tone to it. What you guys think of this bass, also I was looking at other places it dosen't seem like these things sell for under 1400 the guy said he had it in stock for awhile and they...

I was in the exact situation as u! Both basses sound great but at the end of the day I picked the sterling because I played a jazz bass for 4 years and the neck felt pretty much identical to what my hands where use to, so my decision was based more on playability rather then tone because as far...

I have to admit I am guilty of drinking at gigs, but I can handle it and so can my band mates. We are not alcoholics but we like to have fun. We get together and practice 3 days a week 2 of the three days we like to drink while we play, we do it because we like to have fun and it does not effect...

The olp was my first bass, bought it about six years ago, for the money it was an ok buy, but like a few other members mentioned here the passive pickup isn't very good, had a very froggy sound to it when playing fingure style or even with a pick. But then yet I have not played the bass in years...
