Well i don't if my answer is going to be as specific as you like but... When I am looking for improvisational inspiration (and I am by no means a great soloist) most of the time I turn to musicians other than bass players. Because, as you said it can sometimes be difficult to find good solo...

I agree with the other members who recommended the Ibanez Sr's. I do not own one but I have played more than a few. They seem to be a quality instrument for the price, solidly built with usable tones, and I beleive they're not that heavy. I've also heard good things about Squire's Vintage...

Yea exactly. I'm pretty new to it also, im only 21 too. There are probably some women out there who can grow a better beard than I can...

Ok cool, I'm familiar with that razor. I had looked at those Edwin Jagger Soaps, they sure look nice. But I just wondered how they smelled. I'll have to try the Buckthorn, and it seems like sandalwood is another popular one.

@ SoonerMatt (and dhyayi): Thanks for the brush and soap recommendation! @gttim: How do you like that shaving cream? Does it have a scent? Thats what I've heard, you just let the weight of the razor do the cutting. Thanks for all the other comments and advice!

I can understand where your coming from. Thats the only reservation I have. Just that it takes a little more time, and I am definitely a procrastinator! For instance I wait til' the last minute to shower and shave when I have to go to work or class. Thats why I'm gunna keep my cartridge razor...

Hi Guys and Gals, (although this post probably pertains more to males than females) Im going to be making my first foray into the world of wet shaving. I just ordered a Edwin Jagger DE89 with the lined barrel. For those of you who aren't familiar with wet shaving , it is a double edge...

That is beautiful, when I ordered my SB4000 i was trying to decide between a koa topped mahogany with an ebony board, such as yours (minus the mahogany) and the gloss ash then I ended up going with. So I really like that combo. It turned out really nice.

Well I started playing at about age 13. My first bass was a MIM Pbass, although I don't really remember myself checking out all the different brands as I do now. I do remember at about age 16 I really wanted an Alembic, that was probably my dream bass. Now I'm 22 (in a month) and my...

They're both overrated. I'd say just play the b11th, it's really all ya' need. :hiding: This is a totally seperate topic, but how does one go about putting multiple quotes from different users in their posts? I see there is a multi-quote button but I am not sure how to use it.

Lol. Well luckily for me my guitarist is fairly knowledgable when it comes to chords. Although I will admit it feels kinda good when you, as a bass player, can inform your chord-heavy bandmates as to what they're actually playing, or what they should be playing.

Thank you Mr. Sea Bass for your detailed reply, it was very helpful. So far I am leaning toward Levine's work. But I was wondering why you state that the are most likely not what I am looking for? They just don't cover what I was hoping for? Thanks again for the suggestions.

Learning how chords are constructed is essential to being a good bass player. Like another person said, if your guitarist says "im playing a Cmaj7" then you will know what notes would be appropriate to play over that chord. Inasmuch, if your looking to do some improvising, knowing how chords...

First of all, thanks for the recommendations everyone. Secondly, Malcolm what do you mean by Theory 301?
