    Star Wars or Star Trek...You make the Call

    Ok, remember the show on the history channel - "Deadliet Warrior"? Taking that concept, who would win: Star Wars or Star Trek? I personally think Vader would hand Kirk and all his crew their backsides. Your thoughts???

    Got A New Sterling by Music Man for Christmas!

    It's the SB14 model. Paid $575.00 for it at GC. Comes with a nice gig bag too. I'm a new bass player, so maybe I'm just easy to please, but this bass has nice action and a great feel. I can't afford a "real" stingray now, so this will have to do. It delivers a wide range of tones...

    Would you Trade a Rockbass for a Sterling Music Man?

    I currently have a 4 string Warwick rockbass. Would a Sterling by Musicman (The cheaper musicman) be an upgrade, about the same, or a downgrade? I'm thinking about trading in my rockbass at GC and getting a new sterling. I've played the sterling. Very nice action and a great variety of...

    Smooth Bass Technique....

    ...like Paul Denman from Sade & Sweetback. The dude is awesome! How does one get that nice low-end, sweet-sounding, precise thump? I'm sure it's a combo of technique and equipment. Any advice on how to achieve this type of sound is appreciated! Thanks!

    Loose Strings..

    Ok, I'm a noob on the bass, but I have a question for you more experienced peeps.... I have a 4-string warwick rockbass. It's my first one and I really enjoy playing it. I play frequently, however, lately it seems my E string, though in perfect tune with the rest of the strings, is looser...

    The Bass Lines of Sade

    Not sure who the bassist is...whoever it is deserves some major kudos... I really love the smooth and sexy bass lines in most of her stuff. The bass really carries alot of the songs. For example: "Hang On To Your Love" "Smooth Operator" "Is It A Crime" "Paradise" "No Ordinary Love"...

    TEACHERS: ROCK BAND/GUITAR HERO MAKING YOU SICK YET?

    I'm not a teacher, but I do have a 14yo son who plays these games. Fortunately, he DOES play guitar very well. However, to me, the game is all about button mashing, timing and speed. Some of the songs are cool though. My son does have an appreciation for the "oldies" now :)

    John Taylor from Duran Duran fame

    At the risk of sounding cheesy, does anyone else appreciate his playing? I think his playing is amazing! He's all over the fret board...has his own sound too, I like that! Check out especially "Rio", "New Religion", "Save a Prayer", the list can go on and on... What are your thoughts??
