    Please talk me out of playing the cello...

    I can't convince you not to. I'm actually going to buy a cello just from reading this post. I've always wanted one and I found one on Craigslist for $200

    Who else thinks...

    You know I would, with the pick up setup and tone controls it looks lie fender jazz, I love the way the J's sound but hate playing them, it'd be nice to play this I think

    Where to begin with Primus?

    +1 for southbounnd pacyderm. I learned this because the drummer in my band wanted to jam on it. Its the only primus song I play, but I feel like its a good intro to their material

    Do Those Close To You Hate Music You Like?

    Lost in a sea of effects...

    I just picked up the Ibanez PD7 Phat Head Distortion pedal and I absolutely love it. apparently it sends a clean signal to the amp so you don't lose anyone the things you love about your tone, also it has a clean, OD, and distortion channel, so you can try on different types.

    Need feedback for buying an acoustic bass

    I had a fender and it was lovely. I would definitely go with that, though for electrics I do prefer Ibanez, I've just never played an acoustic one. The size issue is a different monster. IMO you shouldn't bother with an acoustic bass unless your going to get the big clunkers. The fender I had...

    Recording bass unnescessary chains?

    I usually record with a mic pointed at the speaker. the guitarist in my band suggested it and I was surprized how well it came out

    Two Piece bands

    Just Checked out Cause For Effect, they are pretty bad ass

    Two Piece bands

    I've become obessed with two piece bands, particularly Drum and Bass duo's, but I haven't found very many. I love Swims, Planets, Ruins, Moonchild (not technically a two piece because there is a separate vocalist) I was wondering if anyone knows of others. Any genre is fine as long as its a...

    Looking for a kind of punk bass sound

    I like the sound the Tronographic Rusty box, but I go for a more treble punk sound like Bob Weston from Shellac

    Tuner troubles

    thanks I started using harmonics too. I think that works best. I usually use harmonics when I tune by ear.

    Maybe it's just me...

    Personally I think the fender fans hear are taking this all to seriously. I feel like just doesnt want to feel on his own, thats a perfectly valid feeling to have, were all human. and I'm going to second him, fenders are kind of ugly. More to the point I think there shape is unimpressive and for...

    Great Punk Albums

    These are more "post punk" but Shellac's 1000 hurts Mission of Burma's Signals, Calls and Marches

    Boss OC-3 or EBS Octabass to get a clean low B on a 4-string P-bass?

    Does this pedal only go down in Octave. I'm looking for something that would go up

    One bass, one pedal. What will it be?

    I already do that. Its a Ibanez SR300 and a Boss GEB-7 but my dream is the ultimate rip off. for the bass a TB2000 and the pedal Tronographic Rusty Box, and I'd sit and rip off shellac all day long

    drummers you would love to play with

    Yes definitely Chad Smith and Tod Trainer but my dream drummer is Thomas Crawford from Planets

    Tuner troubles

    Yeah I have been diligently researching this on Talk Bass and the rest of the net, and your the first person I have heard of experiencing the same problem. I noticed when I plugged my bass in to the amp there was a bit of a hum, I figure this has got to have something to do with the fact that...

    Who started it all for you?

    I knew I wanted to play an instrument when I was 11. I got an alto sax after attending one of those music assemblies that instrument distro's put on in school and joined the the band. I hated it and decided I wanted to play some kind of guitar. My dad played bass in his high school band so I was...

    Things bassist hate.

    It totally pisses me off that there is no love for pick players. All my Wooten wannabes give me crap about this, then I tell him how I saw him live and he talked about how important it is to play in different styles, especially with a pick. I hate when the drummer can't hear me, then after I...

    Stay with drummer or keep time?

    If everyones following the drummer you should follow the drummer. For me it depends on the part of the song. Some parts I follow the guitarist more sometimes the drummer. But if I were you I'd point out the fact that the song slows down on that part, and decide if you all want it to slow down at...

    whats the best bang for the buck bass ?? please help

    Im a big fan of Ibanez basses. The SR300's are usually 300 new. A friend of mine sold his for 150, so I bet you could get one used at a good price. They have a great tone

    Tuner troubles

    I got the Boss TU-2 for christmas and love it. Its the best tuner I have used. The trouble came when I got a new bass. It still tunes but it takes a lot longer. The light shifts back and forth before landing in one place, then it goes out. My new bass is a Ibanez SR300, which has active pickups...

    David Wm. Simms (The Jesus Lizard)

    This may be irrelevant at this point, it being so long since the last post, but Sims has solo bass project called Unfact that is pretty bad ass. Its loopy droney stuff, but still has that awesome Sims tone

    Bassist With Best Distortion Tone

    He hasn't been mentioned enough so I'm gonna say Trevor Dunn, in particular in Moonchild. The opening to their first album still blows me away. And I can't believe no one has mentioned Bob Weston in Shellac, his dist is so tasteful. also props to the person that mentioned David Wm. Sims
  32. B

    Any love for David Wm. Sims?

    Lots of love. Anyone here heard Unfact. I've been a big fan of prepared guitar, and guitar drone and ambiance, but I wanted something that was done with a bass. This is it. The split he did with Noveller is one of my favorite albums of all time

    Tired of Rock ?

    I've recently been facing this issue. The band I'm in is definitely rock influenced, particularly where the drums are concerned. But we started out all wanting to experiment with time signature, repetition, and number of parts. basically "math rock". Now the drummer and the guitarist, want to do...

    Peavey TKO 115 S

    I don't know anything about your set up, but I've been playing my friends Peavey TKO 115, and now I'm considering buying it from him. I now a Behringer combo which is smaller, but the Peavey weighs less. also I love the built in EQ and bright and contour buttons, I was finally able to find the...
