    Ten Commandments of the bass

    I thought this was the best place for it... A drummer passed it on to me: #1 "Thou shalt not f**k up the groove. F**k up the notes if thou must, but not the groove." #2 "Thou shalt not lust after thy guitar player's part. He keepeth the fun, thou keepeth the groove." #3 "Be thou not...

    Double Bass String age..

    Whats the longest you have kept strings before changing them. Also I need to know if there is a cheap soft Spiro core like string to put on a electric DB. It seems a waste to put fantastic German strings on a EUB..... Yes I know thomastik are Austrian.... But before the late 1800's it was just...

    My love hate relationship with my ABG

    On the one hand I love my ABG, it has the best tone I have heard at the price, it is very playable, loud, xlr tuner, 5 string etc... But.. I find it ALMOST pointless. I did a test with an steel string acoustic. On its own it was actually louder than the guitar! Arpeggio playing you could hear...

    After achieving great disappointment with the Zoom B3, and sending it back, I have decided to move away from Multi effects. Sure I'll keep my B2 for exactly why it was really bought in the first place, which is Portable amp to use with headphones in a hotel room, but that's it! I realised...

    Bass players revolt!

    Yes I know, already are revolting,but not as revolting as drummers! What I meant was that a guitarist can re string their instruments for just over a five-er, guys and gals, a 1/4 ton, if you want 5 strings.... I can't believe there is that much more metal in our strings....
