Lately I have been interested in expanding my playing palette. I think a piccolo would be a nice addition and a new way of playing. I know D'Addario makes a Piccolo string set, my question is more along the lines of what adjustments need to be made in order to accomodate the strings, if any.

I've been wanting to pick up a fretless for awhile now. After researching and visiting various local music stores, I've decided that I want to go for either a lower end Fender (probably MIM) or a Squier VM Fretless. Of course I need to test both out, but I want to hear from you guys, as well as...

Okay, so my band wants to record our originals this weekend. Right now I use the latest version of Garageband, a Zoom H4n, and a Macbook Pro. How would it be possible to record us all without recording track-by-track? We think it's better to record all together as if we're playing the song, but...

Sell me on one of these basses. Local music store has the BTB in a dark almost black finish but with that quilted touch. Price I'm not totally sure of but it's close to $700. Guitar Center has the 506 in it's usual color and it's $620. I'm leaning toward the 506, but I want to be sure. If you...

I really want to get a 6 string. I've been wanting one for awhile, and I think I should go for it now. A local music store has an Ibanez BTB 406 that plays pretty well. The last time I went to Guitar Center (which was earlier this month) there was an Ibanez SR706. I also want to find an Ibanez...

I like to really get "into it" when my band plays, but I'm always worried that if I move too much, I'll be restricted by my instrument cable. I have a Monster cable that's a real decent length, but at one end it's messed up and starts to buzz out if I move it a certain way. Now I was thinking...

I want to get some flatwounds for my short scale Hofner CT bass, but I'm deciding between a few brands. -Rotosound -La Bella -D'Addario What do you guys think?

I have two basses, an Ibanez SR300m, and a Hofner CT Beatle Bass. The former can get some great tones, being very similar to a Fender J bass (tone wise, I'm not so sure about feel ;) ) but the Hofner IMO is quite limited. What are some good tonal options that I can get out of my Hofner?

Always wanted to know what type of J Bass Doug Ferguson used here. Anyone have a year or anything remotely helpful?

I've been playing for awhile, and I am always interested in finding new sounds. After hearing a few piccolo basses being played, I thought that I would expand my sound by buying or attempting to make some sort of piccolo bass. Is it possible to buy a small bass, like a 30" Ibanez Mikro Bass, for...

I've been playing for a little over a year, and I've always heard people describe bass tones. I have not been acquainted with these terms, (ie. growly, warm, etc.) and for the longest time I thought by warm people meant deep. Can someone help me clarify how to describe bass tones? Thanks alot.

I've been playing bass for a little over a year, and not to sound stuck up or anything, but I've become a very good player. Right now I'm in a band (or I have been since I started playing bass) and I'm using a Line 6 LowDown Studio 110 75 watt bass amp at home. At band practices I use a Lab...
