    You ever feel like the bass chose you?

    I've played more than one gig waring a full on Darth Vader mask (and a singlet with the hippy peace sign on it) and without trying to sound like some Harry Potter fanatic who thinks "the wand chose me" I couldn't agree more as I got a Geddy Lee j... now an Ibanez BTB676 6 string is calling out...

    Lovin it... I've come a long way since listening to Green Day all the time (now I much prefer things like Tool, Primus, Rage etc etc etc) but my decision to go out and buy my first bass was after seeing the "Bullet in a Bible" concert DVD

    Taking that brave step to a 6 string

    Thank you for all the comments... I've been looking at plenty of different 6's online and the one that seems to be "calling out" to me the most seems to be the Ibanez BTB 676 and I've also considered the possibility of finding a used Carvin Icon 6 string and as I'm currently living in quite a...

    Taking that brave step to a 6 string

    Hi all! I'm a bass guitarist of 6 years now and I play a Geddy Lee Jazz bass (i.e. a good o' 4 string). I'm self taught, use plenty of effects and have a progressive, "unconventional" style of play. Now as thread-title suggests I'm thinking about possibly getting a 6 string, however I've had...

    chick vs chick with bass: electric boogaloo

    I think all is set for another good one... lucky for all that the trolls are heavily out numbered by the Knights of Shining Armor:hyper::hyper::hyper: And that being said I cast my vote for Chick without - props for clever use of "the bird"

    What Is Your Pefect Bass Guitar?

    Fender '55 P bass body with a great big humbucker near the bridge (kinda like a stingray) with a nice hot split-humbucker like the traditional P bass style with some sort of active electronics!!! Action set so I can slap away and fingerpick but it would still rock like all hell:hyper: I...
