BWB, thank you for this thread! I'm also looking for nice flats for my Jazz bass for finger playing, no pick, no slapping and I'm willing to spend my money on TI flats because I've heard they last longer than other flatwound strings. So eventually they are cheaper. But I'm not so sure about that...

+1 Exactly! Record or play direct, that's the way I know the true sound of the bass.

Here's mine :) Gibson SG Standard bass in Worn Ebony.

Sir, you are not alone. I don't like having a lot of stuff that's why I don't have an amp or any effects and one bass is enough for me. I'd like to have a backup bass, though, but I'm afraid of buying something new.

Toe is superb band. Also, I recommend band Mono (Japanese band). They are not well known bands but they have their audience. I personally prefer instrumental music because vocals usually annoys me. And instrumental bands can become big, like those bands SunnBass has mentioned. Also, This Will...

Thank you, Sir. Don't worry about me crying, sometimes I can be really whiny :oops: And it's not that HE makes me cry but it's an unpleasant situation that annoys me. I think I'm gonna look for some other people to play with. I want to try and maybe find somebody who is my level.

Yes, he is a real friend, my best friend and a boyfriend. I think that's why he doesn't hesitate to criticize me even if his words make me upset. Sometimes when I play with a backing track I think my playing is not too bad because I can already hit the right notes and keep a simple and steady...

That is exactly my problem. I feel I need to be practicing all the time. I can't watch a movie, go out or meet my friends because I always feel guilty for wasting that precious time. Playing became more like a job. I know I need some changes in my life or some new experiences otherwise this...

Hey guys, Does anybody know if 5 string Jazz bass fit Hiscox STD-EBS case?

Thank you all for so many wise advice. I have to be more realistic and stop being angry and frustrated every time I have some difficulties. It was a big mistake not to learn at least basic theory. My friend discouraged me saying that if I learn theory I'll be a 'generic' bass player and won't be...

ZenG, I like almost every style of music. I'd like to play entertaining music that people could dance. Funk would be great but every time I create something it sounds sad. If I compose something to express myself it's always sad and melodic not rhythmic. Sounds like post-rock maybe. Today I...

ancientrocker, that's an inspiring attitude! I'll have your words in mind. One more question. Is it important to be able to name all the notes of each scale? If yes, what good does it do?

There's so much information and I don't know where to start. Let's say I know C major scale and I hit the right notes but my bass lines don't sound groovy because I can't think of new interesting rhythms. How good is that? All I can do is play 4th and 8th notes... :bawl: I've started using a...

That's what I'm considering. I found one but he's a guitarist though.

I know notes on a fretboard and started learning C major scale. Nothing else. I watch videos on youtube but it seems all lessons are for those who already know some theory.
