I want to buy a fretless and after spending a lot of time researching and browsing online Im leaning towards that Squier VM jazz. It's the most affordable for the price bass I've been able to find (I live in Ireland in the middle of the countryside so guitar shops are sparce and it's difficult...

Im applying to two different colleges, one is a BA in commercial modern music, and the other is a BA in jazz performance. (The jazz performance is the preferred and the other is a backup choice). For both Id have to do a performance at the interview so Im trying to work on a couple songs that...

I want to upgrade to a 6 string bass for my solo stuff but Im torn between the new Bass VI or getting a "regular" 6 string. Id string the regular 6 E - E as is the Bass VI but my main concern is the string spacing. Would the Bass VI be too difficult to play as a bass fingerstyle? If I could find...

I was doing my bi annual bass cleaning and after taking off and cleaning the bridge I decided to lower the string height to test out tapping with a lower action and I noticed that if I place a capo on my bass at the 5th fret (or any fret above) and play the 12th fret and above it theres no fret...

I was listening to the new paramore album while cleaning the house today and I was pleasantly surprised by the sound of the album. The bass is punchy and tight, the drums were the perfect level and the guitar accentuated everything and knew its place. This lead me to think about other songs...

Am I alone in thinking that basses stylized like a "guitar" just look slightly off and that some designs really do just suit guitars better? For example Gibson SG's and 335's or a Les Paul. The inverse of course is true for guitars as say a Fender Jazz wouldn't look "right" not as a bass...

I've been meaning to post this for ages but school has got me with very little free time right now. I recorded my own EP a couple months ago and I was wondering if people here could have a listen (its kinda on the quiet side so headphones would be advised) and possibly give some...

So Im having a problem with recording my bass. In the background there's a constant hissing sound. I have a Presonus Audiobox USB and even when the gain is turned completely down the hiss is still there. I've searched online for hours trying to solve it, I've tried almost all solutions I could...

Im not sure if this is in the right section or if its been covered already (I tried searching but couldn't find what Im looking for) but Im trying to find songs to arrange for a loop pedal. Im looking for songs that are recognisable but aren't massively overdone. In my search it was a lot of...

Sorry if this has already been asked (I couldn't find anything here) but I read online somewhere (I think it might have been Zander Zons website) that piccolo strings can be tuned to standard bass tuning an octave below a guitar as well as the same octave as a guitar. Can they be tuned to...

Im thinking of buying a new bass and I was looking into headless basses but the only basses available are Steinberger St-2's or basses that look like it and I prefer basses with a decent body but there is another one. Its a Hohner "The Jack" 5 string custom V, I was just wondering if anybody had...

I recently bought a Lexicon Alpha usb recording studio (its cheap but I'm a student, I can't afford anything better :p) and there's one issue I'm having. It records my electric bass with a lot of background "static"-ish noise, it records my acoustic bass cleanly but for most of my stuff I...

So Im thinking of buying a new electric-acoustic bass and I want to buy a 5 string. A couple of questions that I thought I would ask here first. Does anyone have any recommendations for 5 string acoustic basses or companies that make them? I have a budget of about 300 - 350 euro which is...

Im thinking of investing in a loop pedal, Im a solo bassist (I do occasional gig work with bands but I prefer being solo, I borrowed a Boss RC-3 from a friend to try) and my question is which loop pedal should I get? Ive been looking around and Im thinking about getting either the Boss RC-30 or...
