I have been playing bass for about 4 or so years and havent really applied myself because of work, play (hockey, golf, bowling, gaming), and other issues. It is my own fault that I haven't improved much over the years. One of my main issues it that I have gone back and forth between playing a...

I was at my buddy's house playing through his audio system and didn't hear any squeak at all from my round wound strings. I take the same bass home and hook it up to my Rumble 100 and when I move around the fretboard I get loads of squeak. It must be some sort of setting on my amp compared to...

Howdy Team TalkBass, This website is the best resource for bass on the internet. Ukulele Underground is the best resource for the Ukulele. Mandolin Cafe is best for Mandolin. I am looking to find the best resource for Keyboards/Piano, any suggestions ? Thanks, Jim

I love Bass, Ukulele, and singing even though I am not good at singing. But Most of all I LOVE Hockey and my Philadelphia Flyers. I created a full cover video of Should I Stay or Should I Go by the Clash complete with a Flyers hockey tribute at around the 1:40 mark of the video. Please take a...

The 4 people are Daco and Robhe using two user accounts each :) I wouldn't be surprised :)

Anything under 50% volume, you cant hear the bass at all, at 100% volume, you can hear the bass enough that if you have your audio in (phone, computer, etc) set very low, you can hear the bass barely above the audio you are playing to.

Thank you Greenstreet !!!

Just got my 4 string GSRM20 Mikro last week. The only Guitar Tech at SamAsh was off all week, so could not get them to set it up and it needed it. Went to a bass buddy's house and got the action where I like it and intonation is almost right on. It plays A LOT better since the setup. I...

I preface this comment by saying I have been a Queen fanboy since 1975. In my humble opinion, the most iconic and sexiest bass line of all time is John Deacon's from Dragon Attack. Not sure how it gets better than that :) Check out the extension of that rift at 1:58 in the song. Makes me...

This is for a beginner, so : There are a lot of good suggestions here, but I don't see the most important one. What to learn and when to learn it and practice drills for what is being learned. I haven't seen a website or Bass eBook that addresses this. I was a gymnast in HS all those...
