    Take good care of your hands!

    My right index and middle finger were hurting because of cold weather. I now wear warm fingerless gloves and they no longer hurt when playing. I guess keeping joints warm makes all the difference.

    So if wood type makes no difference in tone...

    This is why I dislike the whole warforge/titanforge system. Someone gets lucky with +12 mythic titanforged plywood and it outclasses your +1 warforged bubinga that you slaved away to get.

    So if wood type makes no difference in tone...

    Wood is like wine, most people would not be able to distinguish them from one another in a blind test because it all sounds/tastes very similar. A hollow body is like a nearly-empty bottle of wine with just a few dribbles left. You can still taste it, but it will probably be stale and unsatisfying.

    Struggles being a girl bassist

    I must be living in opposite world because I have never lived in such a time where girls/women are so revered for any hobby they take up and showcase. I have attended car events, video game clubs/meetups, computer science clubs/courses at colleges and universities... Boys/men STRONGLY welcome...

    Dumb Question: Difference between bridge, saddle, and saddle bridge?

    I see these terms used a lot and all I can really tell is the general area where they reside. Are they all the same thing and the terms are used interchangeably?

    Still unsure about power, impedance, amp + cab matching, wiring...

    I think that covers everything. Thanks!

    Still unsure about power, impedance, amp + cab matching, wiring...

    I have another question... Does the DB751 (or any amps in general) with two cabs output in dual mono or stereo? And what if I were to use the send/return to add in stereo effects to the effects loop?

    Still unsure about power, impedance, amp + cab matching, wiring...

    Thanks for the clarifications everyone! That was so much more simpler than I had made it out to be. I guess with the DB751 I can pretty much hook up any combo of single or duo DB cabs using speakon cables. I am thinking of starting off with one DB212 (600 watts, 4 ohms) and later adding in...

    Davie504 More Annoying Than Ever

    I discovered Davie504 not too long ago and he is a major reason why I am getting into bass guitar. After YouTube recommended me Davie's channel alongside with some Louis Johnson videos, I knew I wanted to be a bass player. Thank you, Davie.

    Need bass guitar recommendations (All details inside)

    I'm back with an update. Didn't get to go try out basses yet because of family coming over for the holidays and current New Year festivities. However, I have exhausted my brain from reading through all the feedback here and researching more basses. I have come to a final decision with 99%...

    Need bass guitar recommendations (All details inside)

    Thanks for all the input so far, everyone. I wanted to let you all know that I still read every individual post and am still continuing my research based on your advice. I have come to realize that I was too hasty in judging jazz basses based on that one video I posted. I have watched a few...

    Thunderbird Club

    That's interesting. Thanks. I have no idea what this all means, but thanks. I'm new to bass guitars and I'm in the middle of researching all the information. I'm a bit ashamed to admit this, but I actually asked my question with a motive to fish out any negative responses for those particular...
