    what am I listening for in a bass?

    Okay, here goes: I love Dear Prudence off the white album. the bass sounds so relaxed, but very bold. Does that make any sense? I also love the bass on Storm Warning off The Flecktone's latest. Great tone. again, it sounds effortless and relaxed, but without competing with everything...

    what am I listening for in a bass?

    I went in to my local music store the other day and tried out some basses for the first time (I'm a guitarist) and they all sounded good to me. When I first started playing guitar, I couldn't tell you the difference between an Epiphone and a Gibson (acoustic), or even a Gibson and a Martin...

    How would an elk bone body sound?

    They still use bone nuts on guitars; virtually all quality acoustic guitars, with the exeption of Taylor, have a bone nut and saddle stock. My guitar has a bone nut and saddle. The material is excellent for sound transfer, being very hard and consistent.

    Bose l1 compact?

    Don't shoot me. I do a lot of public speaking/small gigs with vocal and guitar and am trying to justify the purchase of one of these. Would it work as a bass amp?

    Wow, great advice guys. I bought a white p bass copy from rondo. I will continue to scour the classifieds, but I need something to learn on right now. Thanks for all of the great advice, and I can't wait to learn. When my new bass comes in, I will be asking many, many more questions, so...

    I'm new here...

    And I'm just saying hey I guess. I am a guitarist, and want to start playing bass. I have a little experience with upright, and want to Learn to play electric proficiently. My first stop, I guess, is buying a bass. I want something cheap, that I can mod to make better. I set up and install...
