    Spare time?

    How much spare time does bass playing/practice take up for you? Do you have time for other interests or hobbies? Or are you completely immersed into playing so much that you barely have time to eat? Asking out of curiosity. I have too many interests and hobbies to be able to do just one...

    Berklee online? IIB? Cliff Engel Correspondance?

    sedgwick, your review of IIB just confrimed my decision into signing up. I was a bit concerned of the quality/quantity of the material because of the price but I believe now that I made a good decision. I signed up last night and his response was immediate. So far so good. I also would like to...

    "Jazz" feel

    One of the books that I am working with is Serious Electric Bass by Joel Di Bartolo. In Chapter 3, page 35, he goes on to talk about subdividing notes. Then gives examples with straight eighth notes, sixteenth notes, triplets, etc. Now, on page 37, Exercise 1, it's major scales written in...

    Suggest me a song to convince me buying a 5-string bass

    Malthumb, you might want to turn the radio on from time to time as well. You haven't heard of Extreme, Pink Floyd, Nickelback, Eric Clapton, Metallica, Korn, Dream Theater, etc, etc? These are some really famous bands. Unless you stick to one particular type of music and shut the rest out...

    Music Theory Software

    I am surprised that there is not a sticky on free software covering theory. Unless I missed it somewhere. There are some pretty decent music theory software out there for free. I did a search tonight on google and found this: http://www.guitar-and-bass-software.com/eng/ I have only spent about...

    Going from 4 to 5 (merged threads)

    I just recently switched to a 5. When I got it I was so excited until I sat down and started playing it. There is quite a bit of difference between the feel. At first, I thought I had made a huge, costly mistake. Ibanez SR1405E. But after a week, it felt a lot better. Now, however, I wont touch...

    Ibanez SR 1405E Premium

    It arrived last week, a day earlier than expected. I was pretty ecstatic when it arrived. Pretty close to the same feeling that I used to get as a kid opening that one big christmas present. It came with its own gig bag, pretty decent one too, and a tool that has a string gauge, screw drivers...

    Recording Gear FAQ

    Some of the links in the Sticky above this post need to be checked. Particularly this link: Invalid Link Removed I'm pretty sure it's wrong.
