Get Rocksmith! It's a great game to learn new songs quickly, and if you're too lazy and cheap to buy the game itself, there are tons of videos on YouTube when you can play along to tons of songs. Good luck!

Definitely refinished.

I know that Modulus Flea Basses have been discontinued for a while now, but does anyone have any idea where I could possibly get one? I've been desperately trying to find one for a long time, and would honestly do anything to get my hands on one.

I'm looking for a sub-$400 short scale bass, preferably with a humbucking pickup. I play a lot of different styles, so I would want a moderately versatile bass. Any suggestions?

The Squier Mikey Way Signature, in my opinion, would be the best choice of the three. The Squier Bass VI isn't a bad bass in any way, but I see it more as a guitar, and it's almost imposible to play in any style but with a pick. However, I would definitely suggest taking a look at the Squier...

Does anyone have any good techniques for relicing a bass besides naturally wearing the finish off it from use? I've been wanting to make my P-bass roadworn for a while now, and I've been looking for good ways to do that.

I do, and I also own a SUB Ray4, in terms of Sterling. Just looking for a bass better for jazz type projects.

I play a few different styles, including metal, along with jazz, rock, and sub genres along those lines.

I just bought a Sterling by Music Man SUB Ray4 bass. It sounds incredible for the price, but it hums quite a bit, and I would just like a better sounding pickup. I was leaning towards Aguilar or EMG, but are there any other good Music Man pickups I could use that would sound good and be as...
