    String advice for acoustic bass

    Just picked up my first acoustic bass this week, it's a Washburn AB10, and I love everything about it except the old rotting nickel strings on it. I'm not sure what I should string this baby up with now. I've got Chromes on my VM Jazz, and I love them, but I've read that Washburns don't take too...

    Washburn AB10

    Popped into a pawn shop today, and the bass pickins were slim. Though they had a nice looking AB10 on the wall. I played around with it for a while, neck was nice, fret work was good, only issues I could see were some cosmetic stuff (mostly buckle rash). I don't have any experience in the...

    First pedal purchase

    While my playing doesn't justify the use of pedals at this point, I've lusted after pedals since before I bought a bass. Some background, I picked up bass mostly for a fun hobby, with a little bit of creative catharsis on the side. I feel a few pedals will increase the fun, thus keep me coming...

    my first project bass

    I picked up a beat up Jay Turser Scarabé over the holiday weekend for song. I bought it because of how ugly it was. I want to use this bass to teach me about modification and repair. As it stands, it's playable, but the pick up is lousy and it could use a good set up. So far here is my laundry...

    making my own bass effects

    I recently got into bass playing and have started to look at effects pedals. It seems like it should be easy for me to replicate some of these pedals, but I can't find any basic schematics. The kind of pedals I'm most interested in are fuzz.

    tone knob on VM Squire Jazz

    I've been playing for the last few months and have recently started getting to a point were I wanted to mess around with the tone of my bass. It seems to me that the tone knob just doesn't do much at all. I played an MIM Jazz the other week and it seemed like slight adjustments to the tone knob...

    Gretsch copies

    The title says it all. I'm looking for a cheap Gretsch copy. The purchase won't be until a good ways off, but I'm trying to do research and I'm not coming up with much. The Eastwood Classic 4 is the the only one I can really find, and they just are still priced to high for my likes. The ideal...

    Hatfield and the North - "Halfway between Heaven and Earth"

    I'm pretty new to bass and have searched high and low for tabs from Canterbury bands and have only found a tab for Soft Machine's "Why are we sleeping?". I would love if someone could tab and/or point me in the direction of where I can find more Canterbury stuff. If you are unfamiliar with it...
