    New Fender Telecaster Bass; yay or nay?

    It kinda has that Peavey T-40 look, with duel humbuckers and a giant pickguard.

    Please Help ID this veteran

    It could be an Epiphone. Some of their basses from the 70s and 80s had the steel adjustable neck plate.

    New Fender Telecaster Bass; yay or nay?

    If bands looking for members were honest

    "Bassist wanted for a Jonas Brothers-inspired band. Must be 100% committed to the band, cannot argue with the lead singer, must know how to do choreography, and have little conflict." The scary thing is that this is 90% accurate of what the ad actually said.

    What's the best compliment you've ever received as a bass player?

    After I played this one gig, this girl came up to me and idolized me about my playing and fingering. She asked how to be like me because she plays bass also. I never got a comment like that before :smug:

    Who plays basses that just don't visually fit the style of music you play?

    Ever tried playing punk rock with a fretless bass? Well, that happened for a year until I got a G&L LB-100.

    That's what I heard. Unfortunately, the official funk fingers you can buy seem to be very hard to find.

    DIY Funk Fingers

    A couple of months ago I had discovered Tony Levin and how an awesome bass player he is. His skill is very prevalent in many King Crimson and Peter Gabriel albums, playing at such a virtuoso level. I can't believe I was missing this! I noticed that one of his many playing styles include a...
