He does it like a minute and a half into the song I think.

Hey everybody, been a while since I posted, So, my old friend who was an amazing bass player used to do this thing where he would do this incredibly fast slapping and it looked as though he was rotating his wrist and slapping with both his thumb and one of his fingers like his ring or pinky or...

I am not a mediocre bassist I terms of inspiration, but in terms of skill. I kind of know scales and theory, and I kind of am halfway physically fit enough in the hands to play bass... but my problem is purpose. Why is this so important to me? I'm going to die eventually and either this will...

Old-ish SVT-CL thread. Kind of interesting that Peavey has a 300w bass head now. Hey I lucked out and got an SLM-era SVT-CL used on craigslist. I didn't do enough research. I could've ended up with a real pile of poopie. That would've frustrated me to no end had I ended up with my nearly 2000...

I like how the 410HLF sounds, but I will admit I am a newbie at sniffing out ideal cab tones. Main thing that I was blown away by was the vast improvement that a tube amp makes on my bass sound. It never feels uninspired or lifeless. So I mean as far as cab tone is concerned, that's a brand new...

It's weird, I hear the same thing. I wonder why the 8x10 is lighter? Is it that, or is it just easier to load in and out of a back seat because it has more length to pivot in to a backseat as opposed to having to lift the whole thing and then stick it in?

Hey go ahead and name names, I'd love to hear some suggestions... I've played through combos pretty much up until now so I'm a new soul in a very strange world here (yes, an annoying reference to an annoying grocery store song). Basically, I KNEW this was going to be a problem way before I ever...

Hey. Long time no post. Back and posting another question. I recently acquired an SVT-CL half-stack. A lot of people have complained about how heavy the head is, and I can understand where they're coming from because that is certainly true... but I honestly have way more trouble carting around...

The 2015 model, the 810, is in the natural ash finish. I wonder if they did anything to fix the noise problem on humbucker, though. I haven't had an 800 to own, but I'm guessing the noise problem is similar... and that's why I wound up returning my ATK. I absolutely loved the sound, but the...

I don't have a Shifter and maybe this isn't an issue with all of them, what I have seen on my short researching of the bass... I've been attracted by the look and sound of this bass just within the bast day or two, but I found a video by a guy who got a Shifter bass brand new, but there were...

I ended up passing on the deal. The guy selling it was kind of insulting and was rushing me to purchase it while at the same time claiming that he wasn't rushing me... seemed a little fishy... plus he was moving out of state in a week or two so... what happens if something goes boobies up and I...

Speaking of G&L copies... Don't mean to derail the thread but I think I put one of mine in the wrong category and I'd like some replies to this question soon because the guy might be selling this like tonight. Either way I wanna see if he's a con-artist. His whole story sounded conny... Is...

Not sure if this is the right place for this question. Please correct its placement if it isn't. I am looking for a bass and I found an interesting ad on craigslist.... a 1980 G&L L-1000. [Invalid or Expired Link Removed] As you can see, he's selling this bass for what seems to be quite a low...

Man nobody types anymore!? My hands work smarter than my face, as you cas see from the avatar! I've played a couple of very pleasing Peaveys. It's something to consider. I like the J/P pickup combination on the NS-2 Spector I found... I'm cornfused right now. One bass has betrayed my...

Update: Okay so I've been going a little nuts making sure this new bass of mine is perfect as it can be, and I came across something very annoying about the ATK 200, other than its heavy body which has taken a little bit of a toll on me as well. So it for some reason doesn't do this on all amps...
