    Bassist switching to guitar. What advice can you give me?

    My only experience is bass. I've always wanted to teach myself guitar and got an electric guitar. I'm teaching myself. I haven't started yet. Any suggestions for me??

    Hi all! Some beginners advice would be much appreciated!

    I play and like similar music as you. I highly recommend the Fender 'rumble'.. of course everyone has a favorite that they think is the best but this amp and whole line gives you pretty much everything you could want and more. my other advice is simplicity is good.. find like a basic set up you...

    Switching from fingers to pick - help?

    I've spent 95% of my playing fingerstyle. I LOVE fingerstyle. But sometimes (not all the time) I like playing fast death metal/black metal that would require 3 fingers and my ring finger in very short. For 2 years I've been working on that 3 finger technique.. it just isn't happening. So to...

    Can you live in an apartment and play?

    Wow thank you for all the responses, it really means so much!! All this feedback has been extremely helpful. I'm going to invest in some headphones, have never tried that but sounds like the answer for me

    Can you live in an apartment and play?

    I'm moving and must choose an apartment. Is playing plugged in an option in an apartment building? Solo practice, not referring to a band practice. I typically practice at night and I have the volume at 4 on my Fender rumble 30 amp.

    Best bassist in metal right now

    Henkka Seppala from Children of Bodom is such an underrated metal bassist. His baselines are insane. David Vincent from Morbid Angel and Ida Evileye from Crucified Barbara are my idols and loaded with talent so I feel privileged to have personally met them both. In my opinion Alex Webster and...

    Fender Rumble Club

    Thank you for all the help. I figured out that I *think* it's my cables. That's what I'm gonna tackle first and see if there's improvement. What's freaking me out is when I play certain frets, particularly 5th fret on my low string, there's this booming scary like circuitry electricity sound...

    Fender Rumble Club

    Turning off the overdrive helped a lot, it got rid of the fuzziness, but it sounds very spacey and not clear. So I think it could be the wiring in my amp. Would I need to buy a new amp or could a repair fix it?

    Fender Rumble Club

    Wow thank you for the warm welcome! Well basically when my cables are untanglied it makes a loud buzzing sound from the amp, and on my bass it's completely fuzzy sounding. Another time, the latest time this happened, my headstock hit the wall as I was plugging in and same thing happened. When i...
