    Bandmate's wife hates our music, or us, or something like that

    Where is the struggle? She doesn’t seem to be forcing her opinion on your stuff… Just doesn’t care for what you do. Other people may like it and others may not. Typically with people that don’t like your music - you won’t even know. I would get over it.

    NBD Fender Aerodyne Precision Bass

    I’ve seen the Jazz versions forever but only recently seeing the P style. Enjoy!

    NBD Fender Aerodyne Precision Bass

    It’s beautiful… But how is it a PBass if it’s a PJ pick up configuration? Shape?

    Does a bass being a lightweight indicate a negative?

    My 7lb (1973) PBass sounds phenomenal as does my 7.2lb Sadowsky.

    Dumbest thing you ever did with a bass

    You saved me a similar tale … 1980 white 4001… Eddie Van Halen tape job, etc.

    You, Sir… are a hack!! But an honest one.

    You store roundwounds in the freezer?

    Most Wal like sound from Jazz, PJ or Ray?

    Most Wals are custom spec’d and built. They can sound like any number of immeasurable combinations of tones. The real difference is how they play, and how they hang. Smooth as glass.

    Unpopular opinion? Boutique basses are great and worth the money

    Disagree. The benchmark isn’t whether or not it has the same notes on it as a lower end bass or whether it makes you ‘better’. It’s about the craftsmanship of the item. How well it plays, it’s balance when hanging on your body, the quality of the subsystems and their assembly, the resonance of...

    NBD Fender Aerodyne Score

    Good for you. She’s a beauty… When you say marketplace… Do you mean TalkBass classifieds or somewhere else? Thank you.

    NBD Fender Aerodyne Precision Bass

    I’ve had my eye on a similar black/cream-bound Aerodyne Jazz for a couple years and just haven’t pulled the trigger yet. I absolutely love the way this bass looks with the smoked hardware and no pick guard, and it is lightweight (matters to me). There have been some criticisms about the...

    NBD...I'm kinda pissed...what would you do?

    Not sure what the grind is other than the seller is a liar! He should refund you some money to replace (or service) the pots. Setup too high? Seems trivial. I’d get some contact cleaner, secure that battery, power the action and move on.

    What is the Bassline that inspired you to pick up the bass?

    Heart of the Sunrise by Yes.

    At what weight do you consider a bass heavy?

    Neck and shoulder problems drove me to buy a couple of Sadowsky guitars. They chamber them for improve resonance and it also drops a bit of weight in the process. Amazing sounding and coming in at just over 8 pounds apiece made a world of difference. Pain gone. FlashForward a few years and now...

    Loud Guitarists, What are my Amp Options?

    I totally stand corrected. I owned a refrigerator and never knew that it was this design. Thank you. #schooled

    Loud Guitarists, What are my Amp Options?

    It’s not math. Four 2x10 does not equal one 8x10.

    Gigs are largely overrated/overemphasized...convince me otherwise.

    You should change the title of this post to “some bands should practice more “. It would then make sense.

    Why are tube amps not as widely used by modern bass players?

    Sactobass may be a bit one dimensional in his thinking.

    What is the purpose of fret markers?

    I hate those gigantic black triangles that Fender and others have been putting on their fretboards for quite some time. Give me the dots, or no marks at all any day.

    Any one Know what Fender is Announcing on 11/05/19?

    Yes - that’s the real crime. Plus wearing a sweater to a gig. JK. Seriously, the surface mounted plate doesn’t bug me too much – it definitely doesn’t compromise the integrity of the attachment. Yes they should have used the CNC machine on the rear of the neck base so that it recessed/mounted...

    Beautiful!! How does it sound raised versus in direct contact with the floor?

    Why bass over guitar?

    I think you have to inherently be attracted to the bass in order to want to this role in your musical life, but assuming that you already do, you might also consider that there’s only one bass player in any given band. I have found throughout my life that I am never at a loss for people looking...

    Loud Guitarists, What are my Amp Options?

    If you can get the guys to fix the volume on the stage, then competing with them probably isn’t your best, only alternative. I would go with a different approach… and one that fits in my glove compartment. Buy a wireless in ear monitor (IEM) system. Go with the molded earplugs versus the...

    If you were looking for a cheap bass what would you get?

    Only because someone mentioned buy as much Yamaha as you can afford… Which I would say is probably a good recommendation, I will let you know that there is a very nice 90s Yamaha bass for sale here on the classified under my name. Another thing you might consider (because you’re in an...

    Why I NEVER Vent On Here About Band Problems

    Fundamentally agree with Jimmy - but also agree with you. I dismiss crazy comments from the peanut gallery about firing people, etc., but do sometimes get some value from other suggestions regarding remedies for a bad/other situation. I’m usually looking for concurrence on how I would handle a...
