Closer to marcus miller, preferably

How do you guys adjust the tone on your basses? Its been a while since I've posted here, but getting back into a Jazz Band, I wanted to know in what way I can make my bass sound punchier. While I absolutely love the sound of the flats I have on my P bass, sometimes that punchiness is necessary...

Im not sure about anything anymore

This is old, but definitely youtube and talk bass Gas means you want to buy it right now on impulse. NBD is no big deal

Keep it up....9 new pages, 1 alert....they should probably fix that... Drift Away isn't too complicated but its an AMAZING song with good bas presence

Thanks. I would lke to keep it around $3oo though. I like the VM serious and a nice used MIM would be good. Hey someone said the same thing as me, in the adult way. Thanks man. I personally feel like older squires are hit and miss, same with MIMs, anything after 09 is usually good, but some...

Alright. Ill try both for $400, that'd be great. Ill keep it in mind. Ill try that. My problem with a p/j is that i already have a p, which is not worth adding another pickup too. And if i were to get another bass, i would get a jazz. Ill try it. Probably will end up with a jazz So, I...

Ill check it out Thanks. Ill check out that acoustic. By the extra money i mean is it worth spending the money in general, or will it be pretty much the same as my p

Thanks Thanks My budget right now is $300ish, but as the year goes on and through the summer ill probably be able to go up a little, to 4-500 tops, at very most with all my cash. True. Ill try experimenting.... Ive really wanted to try a squier vm 77, but they don't have them anywhere...

I see. As of right now, i talked to the director, and he wants me to audition on bass guitar. He did say that if i do make it, he wants me to focus more on upright as far as jazz goes, but it is possible that ill be playing electric in the band. Of course, after i learn the audition music, ill...

I quite literally said, that i am just a kid, and that I'm new to this. So sure, i don't have a lot of experience, but having everything negotiable just isn't logical. The car is priced at 30k for a reason, man. Sure, they appreciate the knowledge, but they don't appreciate smartasses, such...

Honestly, I prefer maple necks and maple fingerboards. I am more comfortable on electric in general. I also generally prefer the look and feel of Fenders, (Squier included). Passive seems simpler, but active could be interesting. I love this advice. Ive been in GC 4000 times in the last 5 months...

True. Going back to the FSR. I hate how it looks. I absolutely despise the look of that bass. But, i love how it plays and feels and sounds. Of course, now for $600 I'm not going to touch that for a while....

I can get the sound close, but not quite there. Like mentioned above, it won't be the same to an upright. But, i can get it close with a crappy p and some nice broken flats, and a few amp adjustments. When I'm going for that upright sound i do pluck differently. Of course, not the same, but i...

I personally prefer the sound of electric in big bands. The director strongly prefers upright, and it is his band, so I'm fine with that, just not as skilled at it. i have put in the work, maybe not quite enough. I started music in general a year ago. I started upright 7 months ago, along with...
