Anyone got a copy of "Slapology" that they'd be willing to sell and ship to the UK? Hope so!

Hi (sorry for posting two separate threads but I forgot to ask this!). With the Nashville Number System, I gather (from Rockabilybass.com) each chord in a key is major, m7, m7b5, etc dependent on its number. But is that always the case with chords within a key? Is the B chord in the key of E...

Really I just wanted to check a few points on theory as I don’t have a teacher who could confirm if I’m on the right track or not! Please forgive any abundant ignorance and don’t think I’m disregarding the value of anything, I probably just don’t “get it.” Dorian, Mixolydian, etc modes – so...

Just changed an E string for the first time (a Golden Slap to a Rockabilly) and got there eventually, but in the process of installing, the very end of the string started to unwind a little so I now have about an inch of metal winding sticking out the end. Is that normal, or have I inadvertently...

Up to now I've been playing a mix of rockabilly and bluegrass, predominantly slapped, and a little pizz for jazz and have used Innovations Rockabilly and Golden Slap strings as a good fit for the styles. I've recently decided to try and address all the music theory, intonation, arco, etc that...

Hi. This is probably a stupid question, but I've never bought a brand new bass before and I'm trying to understand if there's a problem or if its just "newness". When I hold a note on the E string, if my finger moves the string at all it really grates loudly against the fingerboard. I've tried...

I'm putting up my Czech-made Boosey & Hawkes 400 plywood double bass for sale. Bass is in great condition, a few little bumps on the underside from being moved about but that’s all. Strung with Innovations Rockabillys (about 6 months old), professionally set-up on a custom-made adjustable bridge...

After a year or so of playing my right-handed Ebay bass to see if I ever thought I could actually get good at this thing, I finally made the decision to commit to buying myself a left-handed bass. Now I’ve been on here and DBC asking for various bits of advice, both in terms of playing and...

Hi. I've been playing the last year or so on an old "B&H 400 Series" bass (Czech made, reputed to be Strunal), and am considering investing in a new bass. I'm left handed but currently playing a right-hander (still set-up righty as well) and am considering making the switch to a proper...

I've just started playing double bass in a band for the first time, but in the practice room we're using, I'm running my bass into someone else's amp (an H&H 100w bass combo). Now, I have a K&K bass max, run through a Behringer BDI21 pre (not great, but £20 and should knock the impedance down...

Hi, new to the forum so just thought I'd say hello. But also I was wondering, are there any other lefty players on here who just play the bass the wrong way round (ie G string closest, E furthest)? I played electric for ages just turning the bass upside-down and leaving the strings as they...
