So I (fairly) recently bought a new American Standard P-Bass, and I found out some things about it that I'd like to share with the TalkBass community. Essentially, based on my direct experience, I will (lamentably) be stating my personal positions in some of the longest-running, most futile...

Good day, gents. I come to you today with confusion. A little backstory: I'm a lefty. I like Fenders. From 2005 to about 2013, I had a 2004 MiM Fender Jazz Bass. The tone control on it didn't work so well; it was either "on" or "off." No in-between; it was either at none or full, just...

So I've been doing a ton of research on strings, scale lengths, bridge configurations and so forth as I prepare to buy a lefty Fender American Standard Precision Bass. In my past bass playing endeavors, I have very much enjoyed the feel, quality and sound of Ernie Ball Regular Slinky strings...

Even during this trying time in my life wherein I do not have a bass, I love TalkBass because I can find numerous answers to any questions I have. It has taught me that, by and large, questions about instruments can be answered with opinions, many of which are entertaining as well as...

King Of The Hill: Peggy The Boggle Champ. Makes me curious aboot Boggle. Can you only use each letter once or something?

I have a question about the Squier Vintage Modified 70s Jazz Bass. I'm looking into it as something intermediate so I can have a bass at all while I'm waiting to get rich and pay for a Fender American Standard P-Bass. (Squier P-Basses are not left handed...GRRR) Anyway. I'm looking at the...

So basically here's what I'm going through ampwise right now: I sold an amp that I really shouldn't have. It was a Fender Rumble 150. I really liked it. I'll leave out the back story, but essentially one of the reasons I sold it was because I felt it would be too big to easily take away to...

So I have a lefty Schecter Omen Extreme 5. I'm acclimating to the whole 5-string bit quite nicely, and it sounds pretty nice with the Rotosound flatwounds on it. But of course, like the finicky musician I am, I'm not completely satisfied with the tone. I've recently learned of John East...

Hellooooooo bass doodz! I'm currently going through a bass-dilemma that I have not yet seen on the forums. I'm hoping that if there's already a thread pertaining to this, that I might be directed to it. I am left-handed. I have a Schecter Omen Extreme 5 with long-scale Rotosound flatwounds...

I have a question. I have a Fender J-Bass, and I've been shown how to set the pickup height (approximately): namely so that the pickup is closer to the higher strings. So basically, from the bottom end, the pickups tilt up to one side. HAO-EVAH: On most P-Basses I've seen, each half of...

I'm looking at 6-string basses and wondering what brands/makes/models of 6-string bass would come in lefty. And, do all active pickups have the capability of producing tones like the ones in this vid?

Hey hey. I have a lot of posts in the Warmoth-building thread, but this post has more to do with the bass I already have: a lefty 2004 MIM Fender Jazz Bass. I'm wondering if the neck is bad, because even when I put lighter gauge strings on (Ernie Ball Super Slinky), there's a pretty severe bow...

Hey-ho thar, bassers. I searched the forums and didn't see a question like mine, so here it is: That little black thing that's on the pickguard below the G string on the '51 P-Bass, '72 Tele Bass, and '62 Jazz Bass. What's it called? And can I get one? I saw a demo video on YouTube for...

I don't know if this was in the right category or not, but when someone starts out taking bass lessons (after having played for several years) what would he or she likely first work on with the teacher?

I hope this isn't a re-post. So far in my searches, I have not seen any other threads on this exact topic. I'm a novice that's been playing for 10 years or so. I've had a grand total of one or two lessons. Otherwise, I've learned on YouTube from MarloweDK, or by playing along with 70s rock...
