    Most Uncredited bassist of all time

    I think Hunter Burgen from AFI is a pretty sick bassist. only old AFI though.. their new stuff is terrible, but in their old albums like "very proud of ya" everything about his sound is a beauty. It's simple but has great fills to keep the bass unique. Arif Mirabdulbaghi from Protest the hero...

    What are great cheap basses?

    I think Ibanez SG's are an awesome bass for it's price, the only problem being that the quality of the bass varies. I've played some awesome ones and some rediculously bas ones.

    Tuning & string gauge problems.

    Im in two bands. One that plays drop D and one that plays C standard (although I play standard the majority of the time just by myself), and up until now my guitar had regular gauged strings. I've decided it would be best to get a higher string gauge and basically set up my bass to be playing D...

    Stingray Fitted hardcase?

    I have a musicman stingray and I was wondering if any other bass has a hardcase that would have the same dimensions as a stingray. the bulky rectangular case I have pisses me off and I'd be happy if I could trim some weight off of it.

    Epiphone Thunderbird: To buy or not to buy?

    absolutely amazing bass, I own the alpine addition, I've gigged them in an indy band and a hardcore band and it's never out of place at all. I agree with older posts about the neckdive which is sort of irritating, but its in the top 3 basses i've played as far as sound and look ( my preference...

    Lead me onto good music.

    Well! I started playing bass about may of last year, and I went about learning it probably the way most starters did. I went through all my favorite songs, and looked up tabs for songs with cool basslines. after becoming a bit better, I sort of realized what genres had more interesting bass...

    Evenin' All

    I totally agree with you. My friend told me that the bass forum on nexopia was full of knowledgable people, which im not saying they arent, but not the nicest bunch of people so this site pleasantly suprised me. Hi Harrow, My name is Greg, im 17 and been playing bass for about a year and a...

    Extreme Newby Seeks Improvement

    When I first started playing bass, it was because my friend bassically begged me to start. I instantly got into it, and for the first couple months i practices 5+ hours a day. All you really need is spare time to fool around. If you can only play by tab I'd recommend getting a program called...

    Magic - Guitarist converted to Bassist - No regrets

    Thats awesome, I hear of lots of people starting to play bass but when they think they've mastered it (impossible) they move onto guitar. You dont hear the other way around too often, its nice.
