Still looking for the black gives way to blue bass tabs. My band decided this is what we're playing, and i worked some things out by ear but i could still use reliable tabs for your decision and all secrets known.

I'm trying to get a Tool cover band going with a friend of mine and we recently decided to add Right in Two to our song list. We all know Justin Chancellor is a whore with his pedal board and some of the sounds he makes i will never be able to replicate without 10's of thousands more in EQ. But...

Yesterday i had my first frantastic jam. ive been playing for a yeal anf a half maybe, but but always usualy by myself or with a friend in my living room. sometimes standing, usualy sitting. yesterday though, everything was comming together so nicely. we plaid some tool songs, some metallica...

This passed 2 weeks has been an expensive process of trial and error that has ended horribly... I don't know what the problem is, maybe you can help me find out! A couple weeks ago i changed the strings on my bass for the first time. i've been playing for 16 months, so this was way over-due...

my first amp broke last week. (RIP) its too cheap to get fixed so im gettingit replaced. i have an amazing electric bass which i love (EBMM bongo4 H) and now i need a good combo amp to go along with it. i dont play for any audience yet so i dont need anything too big. i jam with a drummer...

I've been seeing a music instructor for some time now.lately he says hes noticing that im playing with the pad of my fingers instead of my fingertips and he says that my knuckles are not properly aligned with the neck of my bass. few questions: It should be noted that my music instructor...

I just dont know what to play anymore... All i can really do at this stage is learn songs. I can kind of create cool riffs on my own but they never lead to anything. I recently learned Cliff Burtons amazing Anesthesia but since then nothing really seems to advance my progress. I dont know what...

Things are really comming around for me! When i started playing bass i didnt expect anything grand, just for fun kind of thing. 1 year later i find myself jamming with pros, whos skill i can only dream of someday achieving. Anyways, the point is, my beginner set up no longer cuts the slack...

title says it all. i want to learn music theory. im taking lessons but i would also like to do my own personal research and compare the various things i learn. So, any recomendations?

would you guys say this is a goood distortion pedal for bass? i can pick one up dirt cheap, just wondering about quality.

Learn and play Rage against the machine's Freedom. Just don't forget to use the finger per fret rule. I've been playing for 16 months and this song is realy helping me develop left hand finger independance. I highly recommend! :bassist:

I'm from Montreal and i've been on the lookout for a Ernie Ball Bongo 4 string. The only dealer in montreal who carries Ernie Ball products is Steve's music store, and they've been sold out since forever. Today i finaly managed to secure a Dawn Blue Bongo 4 string with a single humbucker...

My birthday is comming up and my GF wants to finance me my first "quality bass" at the 1000-1600$ price range. At first, i was thinking possibly a fender precision, but after contemplating for a while i have my sights set on this: [Invalid or Expired Link Removed] I've never plaid or even...

In the last 2 weeks i've seen 5 tutors while choosing my first bass instructor. Each one had a unique style of play, and each one told me not to do something that another one told me to do. It's not because some of their teaching methods are inadequate. For example: one of them insisted i learn...

After a year of learning off the internet i decided to look up teachers in my area. So far i have 3 consecutive first lessons with 3 different tutors. I'm just wondering what i should be looking for in a teacher. What are some things a 'good' teacher will show me during a first lesson?

When i tune my bass in DADG the low D string feels like jello... it feels very loose and when i hammer on (even light hamer ons) i get a very unwelcoming 'clank' noise from the string hitting the fretboard. suggestions?

(i'm sorry if there is a similar thread somewhere. I'm a TB newb) After reading a few threads from fellow bassists who cant play to their full potential anymore due to nasty carpel tunnel syndrome/tendonitus, im compelled to understand fully what causes these nasty hand injurys and how to...

Greetings everyone, this is my first post. I am a bassist attempting to improve what is by far my weakest skill - picking. I've always dismissed picking in the past because its alot of work to learn from scratch, especialy if all you've ever practiced is classic fingering. But fingering doesnt...
