as a quite inexperienced player myself, I have to say its frwst to see more experienced players actually wanting to help out! really cool!!!

I was in your shoes abour a year ago, only I was looking for a five string.after looking at every single music store in athens, these are my conclusions. The yamaha 304 is PHENOMENAL for its price and fit my hand almost perfectly.the eq switch didn't make a massive difference in sound but was...

Just get a blacktop jazz and blow his mind :p

Finally! We should start a club :p . Honestly, the only other person ive seen that holds a pick the way i do( three fingers on pick, tilt pick towards bridge instead of neck) is misha mansoor from periphery!! Im probably gonna get flamed real hard for saying this, but with his down-tuned eight...

I will definitelly try that, but im skeptical as to how much of the pick attack will remain if i dont use the sharp end, but its definitely worth a try!

Thanks so much for taking the time to reply ro thia thread, but i think you might have misunderstood me, when I said i used my index and middle finger, i meant to grip the pick while holding it with my thumb also

Wow!! Thanks to everyone who answered so quickly! Ill make sure to try out as many of these tips as i can!! :)

Hi! Ive been playing bass for a little over 3,5 years, mostly fingerstyle and slap, but never loojed down on puck playing because i believe the sound fits many musical gebres perfectly. Heres the problem. I recently joined my first "serious band" And the songs sound better when played with a...

Lemmy!!! Edit:whoops! Got mixed up , thats the other side of the spectrum, my bad!

Its actually cheaper to just buy an sx bass and a use my audio interface....shipping from greece is a bitch! But thanks for the info!

Hello talkbass community, I am on holiday at my grandparrnts place in Cortez CO. Sadly i didnt fly my bass overseas, and really want to keep playing while im here but havent found anyone near here or in farmington to rent a bass and amp.... so if anyone near here has any basses or amps lying...

Thanks a lot for the answers! Ill keep a look out for the g and l necks , and might look on ebay too. But is there a thread or manual that would show me how to service the frets? Thanks!!

hello luthiers. Ill be visiting colorado This summer and because i cant bring my bass with me, I thought it would be a good opportunity to make a bass body, since my grandpa is a woodworker and has all the tools. The problem is I dont know what kint to make.I really dont care about the shape, as...

So far im in love with my whole bass, pickups and all( thankfully GAS is gone for a while) but out of curiosity, have you played the js3vqm, and if yes, how does it compare to other jacksons

I ended up getting the jackson, mainly because the neck fit my hands better than any other five string ive played, and u really loved the b string on it. If id been looking for a 4 string I probably wouldve gotten a music man sub, but if the js3 is as good as tye js3vqm, its a great bass.!
