    why not just buy a five sting set and use the b,a,d,g strings. tune the B to c#, the a to g#,D to C# and g to F#. since you also tune only your 4 th string to D# you will not need to retune just move anything you play on the 4 th string up a whole step. There is not a need to go to and have...

A friend emailed me with a listing of a Fender American made jazz bass but when I call it was already sold. That night I checked older listings and found a '75 Gibson ripper. The guy had no...

    What's the worst you've ever been disrespected as a bass player?

    Back in college I was replaced before I even played!! All music majors had to play in forums before all of the music students. I was fortunate to have an outstanding horn player in my theory class. He asked if I would sit in on the song he would be performing at the upcoming forum. I was...

    Why hate guitar center?

    Once upon a time... I went into GC to buy a set of strings. When I asked for the strings the girl behind the counter told me that the strings were crap and I should use another brand. She further went on to explain that she has been playing bass for quite a while and theses strings were the best...

    Coated, yea or nea

    No coating. The coating deadens the sound. GHS bass boomers are not that expensive, sound great and last for a reasonable amount of time.

    Can you recommend me an overdrive?

    Boss Bass Overdrive ODB-3. I also have a warwick corvette and the sound is great. I have turned 4 people onto the pedal, they borrowed it then they bought one. It is not a pedal that is flashy looking but you can get great tones from it.

    Less Mistakes training...advice??

    Everyone makes mistakes. Here is a few things I have learned over the years: Most of the time the audience will not even notice the mistake. Every wrong note is only a 1/2 step away from being correct. If you play a wrong note fix it next time or play the same note wrong every time.People...

    Cocky Bass players

    High school sucks! Just be relaxed, laid back and play the groove. If you do not get the spot--Start your own band. As far as the other guy: Some words from Rob Zombie "you can always teach someone to play guitar but you can't teach someone to be cool." Best of luck

    Who's Your Favorite Custom Builder???

    What no love for David King? He builds awesome basses and he does it by himself. He is the one who answers the phone, replies to mail and builds the thing. I was unsure of what I wanted and was able to speak with him at length. Get hand made basses, nice guy and great value.

    A question regarding a Rare warwick and fretless adjustening

    If you are unsure, then do not spend the money on a high end fretless. I have a fretless warwick and love it.

    Pickup alignment on my J-bass? Sounds like I have permanent "chorus"

    How much impact can a good preamp have?

    here is my 2 cents I would suggest buying a new bass. There area lot of cheaper models that do not have as many issues. If the bass sounds bad, adding pickups and preamps will only help a little. If you find a lower ebd bass with passive pick ups that has great tone it will only sound better...
