    Things bassists LOVE!

    The fact that bassists get most of the hotter girlfriends/wives. And the fact that bassists get the most girls, but us bassists don't brag about it. And Shark week...why the Hell is Shark Week not a National Holiday yet?

    Tips on improvement?

    Hey guys. I've started playing bass 2 years ago, and I don't really see a big improvement on my playing, I know it takes awhile to see any real improvements, but I feel like I'm not getting anywhere. I've started playing guitar first, I was self taught then a year later entered high school...

    Squier Owners Club

    Exactly! I stumbled across a old thread of someone posting his new Mark Hoppus bass, and he seemed real happy about it, and someone commented on how the bass sucks, then right after someone posted about how fake Blink's music is and how bad of a bassist Mark is. I don't care if you like...

    I strongly dislike pete wentz as a bassist...

    Vintage Modified Precision?

    I've graduated today, and my parents are giving me 500 to spend freely, and I my first thought was to get a new bass. So I went to Long and McQuade (a Canadian music store) and tried out the Squier Vintage Modified bass and loved it! I also tried out some Classic Vibes that sounded better, but...
