Posted this in a less than ideal forum a couple of days ago thought I'd have a second bash as couldn't get the sound quite right. Thought I'd ask the bass eggheads a real easy question: How do I get this sound? Can't Lose I have very little knowledge on how to identify and replicate a...

This seemed the most applicable forum to put this thread bit feel free to move it since it's technically not "live". Anyway, relatively I'm quite new when it comes to bass and spent more time learning to play and not sounding terrible and not aiming for any particular sound so I was wondering...

Nice (hopefully) simple question; are the pickguards for Fender Jazz' a standard size for all the models? I've got a modern player and wondered if I would have to alter a guard that was made for another model. Thanks in advance

Primarily I use my fingers to play( I can use a pick but prefer plucking) and have recently stumbled upon Snow ((hey oh)) by the Chili's which incorporates strumming. Now here comes the question you were expecting since reading the title.... I can't quite get used to the strumming with my hand...

Tonight we played a decent set , got folk dancing and generally had a good time BUT.... Personally I think we played poor and weren't as "fluid" as I would have liked. Yet after the gig we were praised as "very talented" etc etc so I went along with it. Don't get me wrong I like the positive...

Hi TalkBass, Just a quick recommendation for any of the internet shoppers out there. Thomann Musikhaus in Germany is a great website, very varied stock and great service. I've used them a couple of times (I prefer the local shop) and both times they have been flawless. Despite being in...

Hi TalkBass, Just a quick question: How long had you been playing Bass before you joined a band? I hadn't played at all and was brought in a fortnight before a gig (long story) so obviously have little theory knowledge but we regularly practice covers so I don't feel I'm properly learning...

I've been playing for roughly 5 months now and only just just starting using a pick. I'll admit that the sound is better for some songs than using fingers BUT..... I don't know if it's just me (most likely is) but I can't seem to get the rhythm that a want across, more kind of singular notes...

If this is not in the right place feel free to move it. Right, the band I'm in is trying to play "Invaders Must Die" by the Prodigy. Were getting on fine but one bit really keeps on annoying me: The Prodigy - Invaders Must Die [HQ] High Quality Sound - YouTube The change in the...

I'm not sure where to put this thread so feel free to move it. Right then, the band I'm in has been offered a slot to open for another act but we'd have to be acoustic. We're a 4 piece but the guitarists sometimes do short acoustic songs at gigs and I only have/play electric but they are...

As the title suggests. I'm in a pretty new-to-music band by which i mean we have been playing instruments for just over a year each (a bit less for myself). We've managed to get some gigs doing covers but we have all grown bored of it. Longish story short we are having problems getting the...

I'm sure that this question has been bled dry on the internet but I cant find any directly helpful threads. So as the title suggests I'm in a band with some friends and we are not too sure on how to write our own material. We play covers pretty well and have a basic knowledge of music but...

Really sorry if there is a thread about this already but when I had a quick look through the archives very few seemed applicable. I'm relativity new to bass and have managed to get the basics and am eager to go dive into the various techniques but before all that I have two things I want to...

Hi, Just wondering what is the technique this guy uses for the intro of Keine Lust by Rammstein? Sounds pretty cool but when I try it you can hardly hear it through the amp. I know that this is a beginner question but I was just wanting to make sure. Invalid Link Removed Sorry if I knew...
