Hello friends! I finally quit my traveling job with the carnival xD. Had some good times. However, now that I am finally back home I wanted to know of any good websites, songbooks, or videos that can help me learn Christian Worship Music on bass. I was offered to jam with my church's...

I'll take your points into consideration. Thanks! Yeah people do accuse me of cheating because they said its easier to make music with a bassist and a drummer. But if thats the case, why don't we see a lot of popular 2-piece bands like that? And don't give me that White Stripes ****, because...

Haha I am a big fan of Jojo Mayer, but like I said in my post, we aren't techno/bass & drum genre. We are more on the rock side of things. You guys are pretty much hitting the same back and forth answers I get haha. Most people did say we looked like posers or suckers playing on stage with no...

win. :bassist:

I would say stick with your previous band. Sure, the money and the traveling with the other band might sound eventful (im guessing they might travel since they are a wedding band). However, there is nothing like making music with your buddies. You been with your band for 6 years now right? I...

Interesting. Sometimes in my band, we use synth and actually have a tuba sound. We have a blast with it. lol.

It shouldn't really be a big deal. Alot of musicians smoke. I realized that when I went to clinics, shows, and even plays were they had a live orchestra playing and during intermission you seen the band smoking outside. I smoke, but I do NOT smoke during band practice. My band-mate doesn't...

Okay, first let me say I am back from my job. I finally quit so I can come on more often. So Hello Talk Bass! Let me starting talking about my issue. I am in a 2-piece band, Bass and Drums. Now, don't think we are some techno band. We had simply just a Bassist and Drummer. We been playing...

I just got myself a Dean Edge. Sure not the best bass around, but I have to admit, it plays really nice and its a lot better than what i had previously. Link Removed

Thanks I been playing for a little less than 1 year. Hopefully, there will be more songs like Lift Me Up.

So my duo band, The Bad Knees recently had our first gig. For those of you that do not know, we are a drum and bass band with an overtone funk feel with many influences. I forgot my strap so I had to borrow one of the band that opened up for us (yes, thats right. We headlined!). If you guys...

I travel and work with a carnival company carnivals nation wide =D i bring my laptop, bass, amp, with me in our travel van.

Hey guys, Sorry I haven't been on much. I been busy with stuff. So recently, my drummer and I created a Bass & Drum metal/hard rock band, influenced by bands like Big Business, The Melvins, The Sword, and our own twist of creativity. But let me cut to the chase... I really think that...

So I understand that I can use one of those hexagon L key things to straighten my neck. Here is my situation: I went to my bass teacher last week and he told me my bass neck looked horrible that its bowing pretty bad. Told me it was time to straighten it a bit. However, people told me a...

I'm a big fan of rebops
