I have recently become interested in learning the bass playing style of African music and wondered if there were any method books or DVDs anyone could recomend.

I just re-strung with GHS Boomers today. I used them for several years but changed to Rotosound a couple of years ago, for no other reason except that i wanted to try something different. Now i am back with the Boomers i have to say they are by far the best strings i have used and will be in no...

Have you ever sold any Bass gear and regretted it? Last year after my band broke up i was feeling down and lost interest in playing for a while. I sold an Ampeg SVT Tube DI Box, but as soon i got home from the post office i was already starting to think i had made a big mistake. By now it was...

Does anyone out there have the user manual for this pedal? If so would you be willing to scan and email me a copy. I have just had the pedal shipped to the UK from an online dealer in the US, but it never came with the manual. The dealer has another of these pedals advertised for sale...

Does anyone have an acurate bass tab of this song?

A bit of a mixed bunch here based on recent listenings, and in no particular order. Aretha Franklin - Live at Filmore West Buena Vista Social Club - Live at Carnegie Hall Bob Marley - Live at The Roxy Michael Schenker Group - Live at Budakon Mr Big - Live at Budakon The Band - Live at...
