So many great songs. This needs to be a playlist! Doesn't look like anyone mentioned one of my favorites: The opening measures to Vince Guaraldi's impression of Samba de Orpheus. Simple, but so well done.

I’m heading to a couple camping trips where my wife’s music is on the menu. She is bringing her acoustic and asked if I’d bring my banjo. Well, I haven’t played that for about a decade, and after 5 years on bass it’s painful to my ears. Then I remembered my old resonator guitar with the missing...

Ampeg MicroCL. Great little amp. Moved in recently to a GK 400RB which has tone to die for, but still have the MicroCL at church for when I play there.

Lovely thread! (That's not a musical, it's a comment. What a joy this was.)

Stumbled on this today and thought I'd share: Ultimate James Jamerson bass lines

Found this. They sound pretty nice.

I've been thinking about a seven string tuned BEADGBE so that the higher strings are tuned guitar style, allowing a bit more functionality for what/when I play. I have a 6 string but my C string is pretty twangy. I'm thinking a multiscale 7 string would tame that a bit. About the only 7 string...

Sorry, got caught up with family stuff and forgot yesterday. And the winner is: @LiquidSword52. PM me.

I'm extending this to give everyone a chance to see it. Don't want someone to miss out if they were staying off the screen during the weekend. I'll do the random number generator on Friday. That way people who only hang out here on the weekday get a chance. Hope you're all well.

[Updated: Drawing on Friday to give more people a chance to see this] I have a bass mod OB.1 to give away. If you’re a newbie and don’t have a compressor, drop a note here. Sometime on Friday, I’ll use a random number generator and PM the winner. Just pay $15 in shipping unless you’re really...

I’ve been playing my six string exclusively, and I love it so much I couldn’t imagine picking up my four string. Anything I want to play, I can play on my six, right? Well, that’s what I thought, and while it’s technically true, I found recently it’s not the whole story. I’m learning Alanis...

Just stumbled on this looking to make the same decision, and I'm very glad to read what you wrote, so as validation for your decision to post anyway: Thank you.

Oh damn. I really should not have watched those videos...

Links so I can buy it or it never happened :)

You are my hero.
