My husband's first wife only wanted him to play his guitar at church and only "allowed" him to listen to or play "praise & worship" music... needless-to-say, a relationship in which one party is "calling the shots" like that is doomed. After 20 years of marriage, there are many things about...

My "new" (to me) 2006 Warwick Corvetter arrived and the guy who sold it to me had the action set REALLY high and so, I;m taking it to a luthier to get the set up done for ME, and I thought I'd get new strings put on while he's at it... What are YOUR suggestions for the right set of strings...

Thank you my new LOWENDFRIEND, for BestPractices and WorkShopLive. I will check them out tomorrow when the house is quiet. Just checked UPS tracking, and my bass should arrive Tuesday! ETA: bass arrived, plays great but REEEEEKS of cigarette smoke.

I googled for reviews on Ibanez SR500 and Warwick Corvette and found this site which is a really robust site! I like it more than Harmony Central because this one is so bass-centric.

There are several muting techniques shown at studybass.com

I spent hours yesterday on that studybass.com site that was recommended on this thread, WOW oh WOW what a great resource...and FREE!!! My bass has not arrived yet, but I read through better than half of his lessons and I am strongly considering following his courses for the first couple of...

Wow!!! Annie! I am sooooooo motivated by your playing! How long have you been at it? I can't believe how complicated that song was and YOU FIGURED IT OUT YOURSELF. THAT is what I want to be able to do. Thank you for sharing that with me - I'm going to watch it over and over from...

Just to be a post whore one more time....here is my New Member post that Toby found and then invited me here. I post it so you can read the full story behind the "WHY" I'm taking up bass: Weird story, but I decided to learn the bass because I KILL playing bass on Rockband. Before you scoff...

I do have musical experience. I learned music theory back in school and played the baritone horn which was BASS CLEFT, and later on tried out the accordian for a couple of years (NOT BOOB FREINDLY AT ALL) so I know how to read music, and can sight-read vocal parts and lately I have been...

Woot! We "won" the auction for a SWR Workingman's 10 Bass Combo too so I am really blessed with a great setup to start out! I had to sell two guns from my late Army Colonel father's collection (Luger and Mauser P38) to get my bass, etc., but I really want to get going and start my new...

Yes, I will be like Linda Eastman was in her husband Paul McCartney's band "Wings" - she learned keyboard so she could tour with him and she was "miked" to sing backup. Any of you old enough to remember will know that some DJ got hold of the sound mix from a Wings concert and separated out...

I am new and I would like to join your club! I have read all 29 pages and I thank you gals for your input and experience. You can check out my new member post for my story...but, with 3 years until the "only" leaves for college, we've decided I should learn the bass so I can join my husband's...

I'm a new member and a new player but today I won an auction for a 2006 Warwick Corvette Swamp Ash Std and I want to JOIN THE WARWICK Club, please!

Jack, If I hold the Bass behind my hip like most do when sitting, my right breast spills over the curve and literally touches the strings and/or my strumming fingers interferring with playing and completely obscuring my view of the pickup area. If I move the bass to the left so that the end...

Wow, Toby thanks! I will read it later tonight, and I am thrilled that there is a thread just for us!
