I know there are a ton of these threads here, but couldn't find one specific for me, so here it goes! I have a 2006 MIM Fender Jazz. Neck pup is on its way out (both are stock) and looking to replace. My friend (who also does my repairs/set ups) suggested SD Quarter Pounder jazz pup (and I get...

Sorry that my technical knowledge is lacking so that I can't properly describe what's going on, but I'll give it a shot! I have a 2006 MIM Fender Jazz, all stock parts. I've noticed that I'm getting what I call a "hollow" sound from it. It's a kind of percussive, echo-y sound, and it happens on...

I'm looking for a good book to up my reading chops. I want it to focus mostly on reading music and playing bass. I've read bass clef for over 30 years (damn I feel old thinking about that...), but for most of that time, it was for playing cello. It got to the point where I would see a note on...

Anyone heard of this band? This piece is centered on bass! We need more songs like this :)

Looking for some recommendations for jazz guitar trios that feature electric bass. Thanks!

Is there kind of a set price difference between a B stock instrument and street price on a new one? There's a local store with a B stock bass I want, but the price is only 50 bucks less than MF. Is this a decent price difference?

So I'm looking at 2 fenders currently listed on CL. One is a 1995 jazz that apparently has been sitting in a closet since it was received as a gift. The other is an active deluxe jazz. I was going to get a Squier VM Jazz, but these are only a bit more, with both being listed around 400. I...

Been wanting to get one for a bit, but definitely want one after seeing Freekbass last night! I narrowed my choices down to 3 I could afford. They are: E/H Bassballs (or clone) MXR Envelope Filter Digitech Bass Synth Wah Thoughts on which would give the most bang for the buck? I'm...

This video is so full of win. From the vintage 70s decor down to the fact that she has to put the phone down and walk to the other side of the kitchen and pick it up again to keep talking. How many youngsters and their newfangled wireless phones will never know the joy/pain of being stuck to a...

So awhile ago I bought an original cry baby wah just to have around the house and play with. The pot was making a scratchy noise about mid way through the range. From what I saw online, it's common and an easy fix. I haven't messed with it for awhile, having not purchased a replacement pot yet...

I'm trying to find the name of a reverbalicious, western sounding instrumental song. It sounds like the opening chords are strummed iii-iii-I, with a few repeats, very slow, with a strong slow drum beat. I've heard it in commercials before, usually accompanying a slow motion, the Right Stuff...

This is making its rounds on FB. Thought I'd post here, too! Link Removed

I have a GK goldline 4x10 cab. One of the casters has already fallen off due to the wood and now I have another coming loose. What is the best thing to do about this? Can the bottom of the wood be replaced? Do i need to get a new cab? Help! I really don't have the $$ to be dropping on...

This girl is amazing. I got chills first time (and many subsequent times) I listened. She's also a gamer. :)

Good photoshopping fun! PEPPER SPRAYING COP

So last weekend, we were playing with a band we have played with many times before. Sadly, this was their last show, as their bassist is moving to get his PhD in composition. During their set, he prefaced a song by saying he was inspired by my bass playing to write the bass line in the...

I think they might be a little more edgier/screamo, though.. YouTube - Murp-Don't Brush My Hair in Knots :bassist:

Any TBers in the Tampa area play for a heavy metal band? Not the current stuff with incomprehensible singers, but older type stuff like Maiden, Ozzy, etc? Looking to add a band to a gig we're trying to land in April!

Anyone familiar with this band? They were formed in the 70s, peaked in the 80s, and parted ways in early 2000. This song is from their second release, King of the Dead. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kIakOuGi11I I love the sound of the bass in this song. Trying to figure out what effects...

Check out this cool 3D animation of bunnies fighting camels in "Cat $#!^ One!" http://www.iwatchstuff.com/2011/02/watch_modern_military_warfare.php

Was playing around with a cartoon created by our CD cover artist and came up with this. Any thoughts on wording, etc? Not feeling that creative this AM :D

So this morning, as I'm dropping my boys off to school, Iron Man comes on the radio. I tell them "this is Black Sabbath before Dio sang with them." I play Dio Sabbath a lot in the car. My eldest, who is 9, says, "I know. I can tell by the bass." I'M SO EFFING PROUD!!! :cool:

Is this the ultimate bass face, as the title proclaims? I call this the "rooted groove" :D

This is a new endeavor for me, and I love it! I found a 'travel bug' a few weeks ago, and he went to my show this past friday before I dropped him off in another cache yesterday! Link Removed

Check out this celtic version of "Wasted Years" by Iron Maiden. Very cool!

This is pretty freakin' cool. http://www.notreble.com/buzz/2009/10/30/fretted-or-fretless-make-it-a-convertible/

Has anyone used ustream to broadcast a performance? Any feeback on it?

Not sure if this is the best place to put this! We're polishing up our EP and I wanted to add little sound clips before one or two songs from movies. What does the law say about using these? Does it fall under fair use? Does it have to be stuff from public domain? Anyone...

Ok, another game night, another gig. This time, it's a home game, and we're playing 3 blocks from campus. Wondering if turnout will be better if we win or not. Oh yeah, playing w/ 3 high school bands. Cheap ass kids need to get their asses inside and not hang out in front! On the...

An Iron Maiden discussion in another section led me to wonder: When you do a Steve Harris-style gallop, how many fingers do you use?

yeah..that's the joke.. :hiding:

He's rather famous, but probably not for playing bass! Link Removed

One draw back of living/playing in a college town is having a show scheduled on the night of a huge game! One that starts at 8! It'll be a glorified rehearsal, for sure! Hell, I'll even be peaking through the window to the bar side to catch the score if the game is still going on when we...

Oderus Urungus can play some bass! Not too sure about Beefcake's singing here, though... it's not studio good, that's for sure.

When someone asks me what "bass face" is, I show them Robert Trujillo! I was seriously waiting for little Trujillos to drop out and start playing bass on stage, too!

So it would appear that the original thread is gone or inaccessible, so I'm starting a new one! Don't know what number we're at, so if you could check in, that's be great. Had someone want to join but didn't know the number! Include your flavor of Buddhism if you like! #1 Zen/Ch'an
