    I've been converted to 6-string basses...which one to get?

    The Warmoth Gecko kit ends up being a pretty sweet 6'er (albeit a little heavy) for a decent price, plus, you can customize along the way......

    Stupid things your bandmates have said.

    From Keyboard player, upset by the fact that I'm not his left hand, at set break during a Jazz gig, "If you wanted to express yourself, you should've played guitar".......In all fairness though, he is a complete bad ass, just not very patient with electric bassists who like LaFaro or Steve...

    Double Bass How to use a realbook?

    Pay attention to the chord alterations and seek out a bunch of different versions of the tunes you're learning (starting with the original) to listen to. Most importantly, have fun and swing!
