    When you're checking out a bass in the store, what's your "go to" lick/jam?

    "Bring Down the Birds" by Hancock from Blow Up soundtrack always gets my fingers moving. Then I go to anything that strikes me - usually "Cold Sweat".

    Need ideas for this headstock

    No bass looks good, unless it says "SPOCK'S BRAIN" in block letters on the headstock...

    Stolen!! my first and second guitar build

    And when he had it up on Kijiji, it got noticed by the world-famous Guitarz.blogspot.com: http://guitarz.blogspot.com/2015/02/handmade-pseudo-stratocaster-shaped.html Maybe you can add your story to the comments. ;-) I still wonder how they describe it as Strat family, with your dual...

    Checkout the iOS musicians thread on Talkbass. We got guys with little more than iPads and direct boxes, dropping big combos and pedal boards.

    love of Ampeg and other Scroll Basses, Part 2

    They had another tag line... "F**** art, let's DANCE!" But o'l Giger... Sorry he went. Makes some sense that Bruce - extremely strange musical instruments - has an affinity for the man's work. But in the machinist precision of execution, I see he may also have more than a little admiration...

    Funk 102

    You will find SERIOUS disagreement with your dismissive and flippant opinion, from Michael Tilson Thomas to Jimmy Page - but what would they know about music, eh? Ya'lls got to learn to dance, my friend. You might find that "Disco" itself is just another ray that shines from that big ol' funky...

    Which celebrity's death made you cry - or at least sad?

    Wishbass Club 2.0....Out of the Ashes

    Question, Is Steve still making Hyper/Hipper styles? These have been - by far - the most interesting and attractive to me. The body captures the visual impact made in different ways by Hans Ritter and the older Ken Parker basses. In the past year I have seen Hippers drop off in the forum...
