    I hope this thing works....Synido A20

    I probably should have asked y'all here before I bought it, but I did a TON of research (aka watched many YouTube reviews) before I purchased it. I got the Synido A20 from Amazon, it should be here tomorrow. I only play in my Jeep on my lunch break. I use one Android phone to play Songsterr...

    Cheap project idea for fun - Your thoughts

    My main thing is size. Since I play mostly in my little Jeep Renegade on my lunch break, I need something small enough to not have to roll my window down in the heat or cold of Oklahoma. I tried using the purple electric bass in my PFP but it was too long, that's how I know about the window...

    Cheap project idea for fun - Your thoughts

    I have a 4 year old and am pretty much a house hermit :) maybe things will change when he gets older and perhaps gets an interest in making music too :) if I do decide to go forward with it, I'll definitely share the process!

    Cheap project idea for fun - Your thoughts

    Lol yep, I have no intention of ever playing with anyone else. Just a fun hobby and if I can get a cheap building project out of it then all the better :D

    Cheap project idea for fun - Your thoughts

    Attached is my current Ibanez short scale. I absolutely love it. I play it in my Jeep on my lunch break with songs that I listen to over bluetooth through my Jeep's stereo. I occasionally record on another phone to make a tiktok video :) To do all that, I just record the audio the phone can...

    Cheap project idea for fun - Your thoughts

    So, Google AI has been helping me look into this (for as much as you might trust AI). Some of the stuff it mentions are easily verifiable, so I think I can trust a lot of it. It seems that a 12 string body/neck would be best for the conversion to 5 string bass due to 12 strings being generally...

    Cheap project idea for fun - Your thoughts

    I've been playing my Ibanez parlor 4 string bass for awhile now, and am absolutely loving it. I play for myself, for a hobby. I'm not trying to do anything with my bass playing aside from just having it as fun thing to do with some free time. I've been using Songsterr to learn and play new...

    Show your video! --You on Youtube Part 3

    I made up a simple bass line to this guy's song he recorded. Hopefully it's not too terrible

    Recorded my first bass line

    I wanted to try something I thought I can do, and after watching some videos on YouTube of how to easily make a bass line, and searching TikTok for someone recording their own song or their own version of a song that didn't include a bass, I found one and gave it a go. I still consider myself a...

    Show your video! --You on Youtube Part 3

    Ok, so this isn't YouTube, but, I don't upload there. This is one I just did today, and I'm pretty proud of it. It's faaaaar from perfect, and it's not a hard song. But, I'm still a beginner (have been for 10, 20 years now), so, don't judge too harshly lol

    Anybody else heard of this song? Level 42- love games

    I think this randomly popped up when I was listening to YouTube music. I'm not really a fan of the rest of the song, but the slap bass, holy crap lol. Just curious how many people actually know about this one :D

    Recruit someone to try a song?

    I know I am going about learning the completely wrong way, don't get me wrong. I've been a "noobie" for several years now, cause my main goal is just to have some fun every now and again, not to be good enough to do anything with it. I've been uploading videos of my "lunch break bass practice"...

    Recruit someone to try a song?

    I'm still in my beginning learning stages, so I haven't even gotten to memorizing notes yet. I couldn't tell you the difference between a D or a C, much less tell you with any confidence where they are on the fretboard yet. I hope to be there one day, but that day won't be this year :D

    Recruit someone to try a song?

    Sorry if this is not something that's allowed. I submitted a post in the "request a tab" section, but never got any replies. I even messaged the band on Facebook (yes, this band actually replies back :) ) but they never replied back with tabs :D. Anyway, I used the songsterr app to AI...

    Where to play random collabs online?

    Hey all, just curious if you ever play collaborations online with others? I've been recording myself here and there on TikTok. The duet feature there works really well. But it's definitely not made for musicians, and it can be a bit hard to find people to duet with. I signed up for BandLab...
