    4 or 5 string for Tool, RHCP, Staind ect.

    +1 A beginner bassist has no reason to learn on anything other than a standard 4 string P or Jazz bass. Keep it simple and learn how to play first. Go play both and get a feel for the difference of how each feels and plays, and fits in your hands. Where are you located anyway? I...

    Amp Choices???

    If you're just learning, it sounds like you need just a decent smaller amp for practicing. I'd go for a solid state combo, but something with enough power that you can go jam with a drummer and a guitarist and your bass will cut through the other instruments.

    I bought an American standard P in 2010. I played alot of basses and kept coming back to that one. Its a wonderful instrument and a great player. It does have a little bit of fret buzz, but its nothing I ever notice unless I am just warming up without an amp. A have always thought I could...

    3 responses suggesting bandzoogle… must be something to it then. It does look good to me too, and it seems it will allow us to do everything I mentioned able that we need in our band's website. Although I am skeptical of course, because everything costs money, and we want to make the right...

    OK guys, we finally have 3 songs recorded. I've been playing with these guys for about 2 years. We've worked hard and we finally saved up enough to get 3 songs recorded at a pro studio. The songs sound amazing and we got them mastered too. We are taking this step by step… trying to...
