Cool site. Thanks for the heads up!

I really like the way talkingbass.net is laid out WGibson. Thanks for the heads up!

I'm in Texas and just bought a bass from a GC in Florida. I asked them if they could text a picture of the actual bass and he sent like 5-6 pictures. I called and spoke to him so I knew pretty much what I was getting. They have a rating system of Excellent,Great,Good,Fair,Poor.. When I was...

Yes sir, You are correct. I searched by scanning through the threads but failed to use the "search" function. My apologies. Thanks for your help.

I'm new to bass playing and have been watching videos from this guy. I didn't know if any of you watch him too and perhaps subscribe? Until now I have just been watching the "free" video instructions he offers. I was just wondering if I did subscribe if it offered a lot more and was worth the...

Yes Reddog I picked up a decent used guitar the other day. It's a six string but my hands are huge. I've been going to the local Guitar Center's bass classes the last couple months but I agree I do need to find a good teacher.

Sorry I wasn't trying to imply that there was a easy way to learn. I completely understand that it takes a ton of time and practice. I was just trying to find different ways that people have been successful with learning. Bazztard- I wasn't aware of RockSmith 2014. That's exactly the type of...

Ok, I know I'm going to get a lot of different answers to this question. And to be perfectly honest that's what I'm looking for. I'm 48 and just picked up a bass and am currently learning how to play. I'm not a stranger to music. I've played trumpet in school and know how to play/read music...

Well looks like I may have spoke to soon. I received a returned e-mail today offering replace my broken bridge.

Does anyone know if this is still a good email address? I have sent a e-mail with all the required information but haven't got a reply? Thanks, Shaun

Well I couldn't find a picture anywhere else. So I went ahead and took the bridge off to see. Looks to be a easy swap. Thanks for the help!

That's what I'm thinking JFS. I'm just not sure.

I'm about to swap out a bridge on my SR506. Are there any videos of this on a 506 around? I don't seem to be able to find any. More or less just wanting to know whats under the bridge when the 8 screws are taken off and the bridge is lifted?. Thanks for your help. Shaun

Hey everyone, I just found this site and thought it would be a good place to learn about playing bass guitars. I'm 48 and have played drums on and off since I was 16. I thought it would be fun to pluck at a bass for a change. Thanks for allowing me to hang out, lurk, and learn. Shaun
