Hi, I love the sound of the stingray especially with guys like Louis Johnson and Bernard Edwards playing them. I have a Stingray 5 which I bought in April 2000 and it sounded good but it didn't sound as good as I hoped. It was nearly there but it was more 'clunk' than 'funk'. So I made a bold...

Like the other guys I'd recommend the ibanez 6ers!! Great necks and amazing tone. I have Japanese Custom from the mid 90's, it's has EMG's and a Aguilar pre amp. Sounds amazing. I used to have a SR506 and that was a great instrument too!! Here's a pic. http://instagram.com/p/eNNNYjlkJW/

Ewan Vernal of Deacon Blue is a monster player! Very tasty!!

Hey Guys!! Some great vids!! I've been doing the same, I just started putting covers on YouTube too. I also made the backing tracks too. Here's my version of teen town. http://youtu.be/iuRC2cbZXIE Hope you enjoy!!

I bought an Ensemble King a couple of weeks ago and I'm really happy with it. I've not noticed any bass loss but I tend to have the ratio low with the depth at about 12 o'clock which boosts the low end. It's a good sounding analogue chorus with true bypass and it's cheap too!! Win win!!

This is just my humble opinion and what would I know, I'm just a bass player. I think It's awesome!! The songs are excellently arranged with so much space. The grooves feel like they're alive and breathing. One of my favourite albums, you don't hear that much genius (from everyone involved) on...

There's a Chinese company called Mooer who are a producing good quality compact pedal. I've just bought a yellow comp which looks and sounds like a copy of the diamond (I own the diamond too). In the UK it's just £59 so it sounds great and is cheap. Hope that helps!

I practice unplugged all the time, it's a great way to improve your natural tone. If the bass sounds nice unplugged it'll sound amazing when you plug it in.

I still say do it, I've seen some amazing musicians on YouTube and there's always someone who has a problem with it. Does it mean the musician isn't very good? No!! It just means the person who left the nasty comment is a nasty person. Also I think it would be a great practice tool, if you put a...

Do It!! I've just put 2 covers onto youtube and I've been putting it off for years. I've had some great feedback and its been much more positive than I expected. You can check out my channel if you like. www.youtube.com/user/thehappybassplayer Cheers
