The sound of a double bass with a bass guitar? That is absolutely possible my friend, just listen to Walk on the wild side by Lou Reed. It has both.

I just ordered a Beat Bass, so now I can join this thread! I'v never played one before so not sure what to expect, all the reviews are glowing but I'm keeping my expectations low. Ordered some pyramid gold flat wounds to go with it. I haven't bought a bass in 8 years so, exciting times :)

If a Cliff Williams replica bass doesn't have dick inlays, why even bother?

These days I take whatever hours I can get! I work full time and have two small kids, so the only practice window I have is early morning. But, its actually the best time for me. Out of bed at 6am, no breakfast, make coffee and head out to the garage and start practice immediately. I can play...

No way. I died, not my bass! Hopefully my children will take an interest in music so I can pass my instruments down to them. Failing that, my nephews if they take an interest. I would like to keep the instruments in my family. All the rest of the "gear" I'm not too pushed. Sell it off, or help...

Tell them you're considering moving to trumpet, only three valves! I cant lose!

The insulation? I haven't finished building it yet.

He wasnt even a Neil Pert wanna be, he was just a dude in his mid forties that learned rock beat number one back in the day and never had any ambition to further his playing. I took him aside one Saturday morning, just the two of us, and tried to explain the shuffle to him and its extreme...

The drummer couldn't play a shuffle. It was a blues band.

Oops, they're Swiss! Thats what you get when you assume! Will have to listen to Eluveitie now to see what they're like.

I have a 2010 MIA Fender Jazz with La Bella deep talking flats going through the body. Have had the strings on four years, never had any problem, sounds and feels amazing. Wouldn't put anything else on it now :)

Sure, all the time. Plugged in is preferred but not always an option when you are renting a room in a smallish house with other people.

Dude, dont bring a gift, it'l be weird and awkward. Just be sure to say thanks and, if you want, will return the favor if the opportunity arises in the future.

Well done my friend, I wish you many more in the future. :bassist:

LaBella deep talking' flats on my MIA Jazz, and I wouldn't use anything else! :bassist:
