    Can anyone ID this bassist w/ Stevie Wonder?

    Is this Nathan Watts? :confused: If not, anyone know who this is on the bass? I just realized he is one of the numerous reasons why this performance is so ridiculously great...

    Epiphone Embassy Standard IV Problem?

    I just received an Epiphone Embassy Standard IV from SamAsh.com... (Invalid Link Removed) At first I thought the pickup screws were stripped. But it seems that the screws on the pickups weren't actually screwed into the bass. I'm not sure if the screws are long enough to dig firmly...

    Fretting parallel (?) notes?

    I'm not sure how to word it correctly, but I was wondering if there is a correct fretting technique for playing back to back notes on different strings, but on the same frets? PS Is there a technical or more appropriate term if I need to reference this again?

    Tech-21 SansAmp Bass Driver DI

    EDIT: SOLD I am selling my Tech-21 SansAmp Bass Driver DI $100 (priority shipping to the US included.) It's in perfect working condition and pretty good cosmetically too. :bassist: I'll ship outside the US, but you have to pay for shipping. I have a 100% 127 rating (21 as a...

    G string not bassy enough...

    The G string on my p-bass isn't bassy enough for me. Compared to the D, there is a big drop off in bassiness. I've tried adjusting the pup, to no avail. Is there anything I could do to fix this? Could me not playing it that much be the reason? The strings are relatively new. :bassist: PS...

    Practice bass...

    I am looking for a really inexpensive bass that would be as similar neck wise to my 2007 MIM P-Bass. Can anyone recommend anything out there? I'm assuming the differences will be marginal, but I figured I should ask. I just want to leave it at work so I can practice. :bassist:

    Looking to buy my 2nd bass... Right now I have a MIM PBass w/ some flats on there (Seymour Duncan Antiquity Pups are on the way)... I'd like to get another relatively inexpensive bass (upgrading as I go). For versatility's sake, what should I go for next? Any opinions?

    PBass pickup upgrade recommendation... old school...

    What's up everybody? Looking to upgrade the pups on my MIM p Bass. Just wondering if I should go for something in particular if I wanted to get an old school vibe (late 60's/early 70's)? Any help is greatly appreciated. :bassist:

    Quick tone question...

    On a fender pbass, which tone is the most real and unneffected tone? Would it be when the tone knob is in the middle? or all the way clockwise?

    Why is my bass sounding like this?

    My D string is sounding a bit sitarish... It kinda sounds like its overcompressed and breathing even though im not processing it... After the initial attack there is a sort of swell... I hope I am explaining it properly. Am I imagining this? Or is there something wrong with my setup? :help...

    FS: Spector Performer 4

    Hi. I'm a bass newbie, so I can't really discuss too many things about this bass in pro detail. If you want me to take some more pictures of anything, please let me know. History: This guitar was purchased new by my friend a few years back, he figured out he wasn't into bass too much then...

    Intonation w/ Mute...

    Hey all. I hooked up a homemade mute made from a little bit of packing foam wrapped in felt (Underneath the strings). It sounds great, but it is giving me about +20 cents of sharpness when I go down to the 12th fret. Just wondering if anyone has any tips on how I could fix this, or if I am...

    Crappy pickguard...?

    Hey all. I won a tort pickguard on ebay for my p-bass. Got it in the mail today... It doesn't fit, so I will be returning it anyway. But it seems pretty crappy quality wise. I thought the tort guards would have a little shine to them. This one just looked like a dull brown/red/black...

    Would I be a "Poser" if?

    Hey all. Been playing bass for about a month. I got a sunburst p-bass & just put some bridge/pup covers on too. Would I be considered a "poser" if I completed the Fakin' the Funk Machine and got the Tortoise pick guard (got the stock white on now)? lol *As a bonus question...

    Mismatched flats...

    Hey all. I originally bought a set of the La Bella Deep Talking strings (the Jamerson ones) for my PB. The E string was too much for me to handle (im a beginner). So I bought another pair of the thinner deep talkin's and strung them up... I saw this video on youtube of a guy stretching out...

    Flatwound recommendations please...

    Hi everybody. Beginner player here. I was researching flatwounds online for my P-Bass. I ended up getting a pair of the la bella deep talking ones. The E-String is a little tough for me to handle right now though. I was just wondering if anyone could recommend any flatwounds that might be...

    Installing pickup guard question...

    Hey all. I just ebayed some chrome pickup guards for my new p-bass. I know it seems SUPER simple, just screwing them on, but I just wanted to make sure if there were any DO's or DO NOT's when installing pup guards? I'd throw myself outside a window if I stripped the holes or something...

    Newbie String (?) question...

    My first bass is a spector performer. I just got my first P-Bass from UPS today. When I picked up and played the P-Bass (unplugged), I noticed the tone sounded way less bassbuttery as opposed to the Spector. In fact, I think it sounded pretty crappy. When I plugged them in, obviously it was a...

    Newbie fret question...

    Been playing bass for about 3 weeks. My first bass is a spector performer. I just got my first P-Bass from UPS today. When I picked up and played the P-Bass, it seemed WAYYYY easier to play than the Spector. With the Spector my feeble hands had to press down harder on the E string right next...

    Old P-Bass vs New P-Bass

    Hey guys. Just wondering, how much difference will there be in tone if you went out and got an old 60's P-Bass and a 2008 P-Bass? Is there anywhere I could go to check out the differences?

    Newbie P-Bass Question...

    I want to get a P-Bass, but I am on a budget. I'm just wondering, if I go and pick up a Squier ($250 new) instead of a standard Fender P-Bass ($450 new), is it worth saving the $200 in the long run? I don't want to pick up the Squier now if it would become obsolete down the line if I end up...

    Newbie playing w/ 1 finger...

    Hey everybody. I've been self teaching myself to play bass. I'm a week in so far... When I first picked up a bass and started playing around with it, I felt more comfortable playing w/ one finger as opposed to 2. After a week of light practice, I figured I should get some pro opinions on...

    Tones - Another "Small hands" post.

    Hey whats up everybody? Just bought my first bass. On a whim I picked up a 34" Spector Legend Classic on eBay. I had been thinking about buying a bass for a while and I just jumped in. Got it yesterday and it reminded me how damn small my hands are. I have checked a few of the posts...
