    Song starting panic

    I can memorize my parts pretty well; it's locking in with the tempo beforehand that's difficult

    A question for DR String users

    Now I've only experience with the Black Beauties and the High Beams. I put the Black Beauties on my Sire M2 (lefthanded), but I couldn't really get a sound that I particularly liked. This may have something to do with it being an active bass; it was just a bit too many controls for me as a...

    What should I start learning or practicing to improve my bass playing?

    Could you perhaps explain inversions to me and how to practice these? From my understsanding as a semi-beginner, it's by taking a note from a chord and playing it below the root, right?

    Lefthanded Fender (Player/MiM) Precision vs. Sire P5 - Europe

    The roasted neck does look insanely appealing :)

    Lefthanded Fender (Player/MiM) Precision vs. Sire P5 - Europe

    I don't 'need' it as in that I need it to stay alive, but I just really want one, since I only have two jazz basses (one fretless) and a Sterling Stingray, but most of my favorite players are P-bass players. I've been looking around on local Facebook groups, Marketplace, Reverb, etc. for months...

    Lefthanded Fender (Player/MiM) Precision vs. Sire P5 - Europe

    Hey everybody! I've been considering getting a Precision bass to round out my arsenal but I've been doubting between getting a Fender Player/MiM Precision and a Sire P5. Since I'm located in Europe (the Netherlands), lefthanded Fender Ps are basically unobtainable everywhere, whether it's...

    The first song of my band and I; Full Throttle

    It is the final cut, but it's meant as a demo for the lead guitarist to send it as his application to a conservatory. The song is indeed a bit long, I agree. I wouldn't for example repeat the chorus-riff 4 times after the first chorus for example. Glad to hear you enjoy my playing, that makes me...

    The first song of my band and I; Full Throttle

    Listen to our song here! Quick sidenote; during the middle piano part, I usually don't play this busy but I only had one take to do this :/ As a bit of background info, I have been playing bass for the past three years, and I am self-taught. I used to be a bedroom-bassist, but the past few...

    NBD - Metroline

    I'm a lefthanded bassplayer, and whenever I'm shopping for fretless models on Thomann, Sadowsky has like 9 models. I've never tried one personally, but I know Jason Newsted used them for a while while in Metallica!

    Trouble deciding on a bass

    I personally have the Sire M2 but in a lefty config. The ergonomics are great, but I'm not a huge fan of the sound right now.
