Power trio all the way! Or me on bass with a horn section, drums, keys/synth, and maybe a guitar.

Buddy Booker is the guy you want. He's a great teacher and has the professional experience to back it up!

My goal as just a bass player would be to go to bed a better bass player than I woke up and have fun of course. I'm not in a band right now, but I'm looking for the right people! A band goal, for me, would be to make great music that we're all happy with, and if the chance to gig comes up, I...

I played one for a few hours, and the neck is super fast! Even faster than a regular jazz neck. The necks on the aerodynes are closer to the necks on the 70's jazz basses in terms of thickness than they are to the modern ones. I tried out the squier vintage modified jazz but it's not as nice as...

Sounds pretty tight for a first gig! Has a nice groove to it too. I like.

Hello, So I've recently started jamming with a drummer and 2 other guitarists. The drummer is in the same place where I am in terms of proficiency/experience, we both know how to play with others and do improvisational stuff, whereas the 2 guitarists do not. They have been playing for a year...
