Guitarist here. Have a Corvette $$ 4-stringer with passive humbuckers to record some bass lines with. I have some pretty elementary questions since I'm not really a bassist. I record metal music and the questions are in relation to the recorded tone. 1) Is it probably better to run the tone...

I have a Warwick Corvette $$ Rockbass. That’s what it says on the headstock. I was just looking up the history of the Corvette and the Corvette Standard models from the 90s look pretty good, the German made ones. This Rockbass I have is a Chinese one. Would I be gaining a lot by upgrading the...

I recently bought a PSA-1.1 and it's on the way here. I have the older version of the Sansamp bass driver that I use but I'm wondering if I'll even need the bass driver since I have the PSA-1.1 now. What do you think?

I use standard gauge 10 strings on guitar. What is the equivalent gauge for bass?

I just bought one and I have some questions. I'm used to recording guitar DI signals with a Countryman DI so I'm guessing the input on this is Hi-Z. The outputs say it's Lo-Z so that must mean I can run the outputs into a mixing board and not worry about plugging it into an actual Hi-Z input...

These are going for pretty cheap. I only need a bass to fill out the lower end in my tracks in the studio (I'm a guitarist). After listening to the examples of it on youtube, it sounds like it'll do everything I need it to and sounds just as good as anything else. I usually stay away from...

I'm coming from a guitar background. Any guitarist would stay away from a small device like the Bass Driver (but for guitar) or a VST instinctively, but I'm hearing that the Bass Driver seriously just rules. Is the bass driver really that good? I've never liked the whole VST & pedal modellers...

I'm not a bassist, I just play bass to fill in the low end in the studio. I recently had to sell my Euro 4 to pay off a bill but I'm back in the market for a new one. Used, the Euro 4 (not the LX) was about $850 or so when I bought it. I'm taking a look at Guitar Center in the used basses...

SOLD

I bought a bass a while back for recording. I don't intend to get too wild with playing bass, I use it really only for recording to compliment my guitar stuff. Bass is a little bit of a different instrument so I want to learn how to compose for bass. Is there a book or ten out there that shows...

Put simply, I'm a guitarist, I'm getting a new bass for the studio, but don't have cash for an amp (yet). Will I do at least semi-ok with getting just a bass DI? In the future I'd love to get a great bass amp but finances won't allow for it at the moment. A miked cab + a DI combined sounds...

The USA models are out of my price range, and besides, I'm hearing that with just a little work, the Euros are just as good as the USAs. I've also read that even stock, the USA's quality still can't justify the price. So I'm thinking about getting a Euro instead. I'm torn between the '83...

I ran a search and came up with over 50 pages worth of stuff, but I was on the 7th page and couldn't find exactly what I was looking for. Sorry if this is a repost. I need a bass for studio recording and I've chosen Spector. I'm a guitarist and have little experience with bass gear so I...

Is there actually a foot stool out there specifically made for a bassist or guitarist to put their foot on when playing? If so I'd like to have some links. If you use just anything, I'd like to hear what it is that you use as one :D

If you couldn't tell by my other threads by now, I'm a guitarist, not a bassist :) I was wondering how many fingers you usually use when playing bass. I've completely got the fretting part covered since guitar isn't that much different, so it's using my fingers that I'll have to work on. So...

I'm a guitarist, not really a bassist, so that means playing with a pick is much easier. Can someone briefly sum up what the tonal differences are using a pick compared to using fingers? Using a pick for me would be easier but of course I could practice with fingers if it seriously payed off...

I'm a guitarist looking for some bass strings, so I have no idea what gauge and what brand. I'm going to be using a 4-stringer tuned to E standard. This isn't going to be used for any popping or slapping whatsoever, and I'm going for more of a clean sound that fills out the mix :). Think power...

I'm not a bass player at all, I'm a guitarist. But hey, bass can't be THAT hard :smug: I want a good studio bass, something that sounds good on recordings. I won't use it TOO much, just for writing and recording, but I'd rather invest some cash into one and get something decent. This will be...
