    Difference between Strings: Flats or Rounds?

    Why this way and not the other way around? The reason for my question is that I have been told that flats are better for Jazz; so to me it made more sense to put the flats on the GL Jazz. Remember, I still have so much to learn!!! Thanks!!

    My apologies for this topic: Flats or Rounds?

    I need to start thinking about this since I just moved into playing bass, and there is a lot I need to learn. So, which one is better for (the basses I am considering or have are Fender GL Jazz, Fender American Special P): Rock? Pop? Jazz? Reduce finger noise? Your fingers...

    MarkBass amps - anybody with experience with them?

    Thanks for your suggestions!! I am still considering the head; yet the size of the LMIII concerns me in the sense that it can easily fit inside someone's coat or big purse and just walk away from a gig!! This is something the guy at GC told me he has heard stories from different customers when...

    MarkBass amps - anybody with experience with them?

    My inclination is to get the 2 x 10 combo and the 2 x 10 cab. That will give me basically a 4 x 10 when needed, without the burden of the weight of a single 4 x 10. Thanks!!!

    MarkBass amps - anybody with experience with them?

    I went to my local GC and I was blown away by this brand! I tried their 2 x 10 combo and their 1 x 15 Randy Jackson cab with their F1 head. The RJ had more lows, yet the 2 x 10 was punchier and not bad lows; plenty loud!!! It was basically a tie!! They are relatively expensive. Both are...

    What will be a good second bass to have?

    I currently have only one bass: Fender's Geddy Lee Jazz bass. I do like it a lot. Yet, having only one is risky, especially now that I have become the studio bass player for a group and we are planning on playing live by the end of the year. The style of music we play is modern, rock beat...

    Fender Rumble 350 with Fender Bassman Pro 115 1x15 Neo Bass Speaker Cabinet?

    Is this a good combination or is the Head underpowered? This cabinet only weights 45 lbs and has removable casters, which are a great help indeed for my weak back and arm. I am sure it will not hurt me!! I do want the deep bass sound more than anything else. Thanks is advance!

    Is this a bad idea?

    I am new to the Forum and also relatively new at bass playing. Recently I joined a group that records via the cyber world. We are thinking of forming a group to play live, something I have not done in decades, so my knowledge of current technology is practically zero. Due to budget...
