    I Am Totally Delusional - I Happen to Believe I Have Talent

    A lot of people have commented on this so idk if my thoughts will have any weight, but the only thing I can think to say is that it really doesn't matter what most of us think. Obviously as a creator it feels good to get positive feedback, but at the end of the day what I or anyone else has to...

    [Noob] Squier Jaguar Vintage Modified: a couple of doubts and questions

    Hey @davidrf I have the same bass as you and tore out the bass boost a few months after I got it, as even set "off" it just wasn't playing nicely with some my pedals. I changed the pickups to Geezer Butler EMGs like @mouthmw suggested and it's a solid sounding bass now. The tech at my local...

    Music Stores in Houston

    I'm visiting family in Houston, 77004, in about a week and was wondering if anyone can recommend some shops with a decent range/variety of bass gear in the area. Unfortunately around where I live in Australia there's very little variety so I'd love to take this opportunity to check some stuff...

    Why bands get paid so badly and venues are disappearing.

    I don't know if any of y'all are interested, but it is possible to play the 'kids' music' on traditional instruments -sort of. I played my school's social earlier this year, and between a DJ and my band we did pretty well if I do say so myself. We had one male singer/rapper, one female singer...

    Haha thank god it's not getting someone pregnant. Nah but in all seriousness though with some time and work they'll be sorted out, it's just getting by for the first few months that's gonna be the toughest

    I really love and value the TalkBass community

    I don't expect many of you to read this, but I felt it was important to say something considering all the hate and negativity in the world currently. So I was reading a certain thread by fellow Aussie @BAG and was filled with a great deal of pride in the TalkBass community. I'm 18 and have just...

    New 25" scale strat bass build

    How does the neck take the tension? I've wanted to do one of these sorts of builds for a while but always assumed the strings would mess up the neck...

    I seek the council of experienced bass players...

    I would suggest also checking out a Chapman Guitars MLB-1. They have decent sized necks, curved backs, are relatively light and are really versatile basses tonally speaking. They come passive stock, but have plenty of space in the electronics cavity for a preamp.

    Is this really a MM Sabre??

    Hey so I was taking a look on Gumtree and found this. Now my eyes are really really bad so I could be wrong, but am I the only one who thinks this looks nothing like a Musicman Sabre? Invalid Link Removed Tbh for $350 I'll still probably go try it out but does anyone know what might be up with...
