    How to sell stuff in 2022?

    I’ve got a couple of pieces of gear to sell, a (guitar) amp and a couple of guitars. Things that are more pricey (several hundred dollars) and are big enough that I don’t want to take on the hassle of shipping them. How do people go about doing this these days? Are there any gotchas to watch...

    BB435 or 735? Help me choose

    I need to get my first 5 string. I’m waffling about which Yamaha bass to order on line. I can afford the 735, but it seems like the main upgrade is the active electronics. I’ve only really played passive before, so I figure I’m liable to just use it in passive mode. I know the “buy the best...

    I was checking out this recent studio recording by the Pixies and noticed the bassist's Taurus pedals. A)Who is their bassist nowadays? 2) What songs does she use the pedals on, and what does she do with them? (a recording/video would be great)

    Single Topic Podcast Recommendations

    I've found that I like finite, single-topic podcasts, things like the first season of Serial, which covered a single murder case, or Heaven's Gate, which covered the story of that cult, or The Dropout, which covered the story of Elizabeth Holmes & Theranos. I think it's the feature of going...

    TB Changed My Mind

    Several months, maybe a year ago, there was a thread that discussed the proper way to merge into traffic when there is a lane closure. I used to be of the mindset "get over as soon as you know it is coming", and, by extension, those who didn't were trying to game the system. Now I realize the...

    Submission Dear Prudence by The Beatles

    I think that it is pretty accurate, not 100% on the staccato markings and whatnot. Let me know if you see any errors.

    Keyboard bassists: how did you learn?

    For those of you who play keyboard/synth bass what and how did you learn? Can you play keys generally, or just focus on basslines? Mostly I'm wondering whether you really need all of the piano technique, hand independence and whatnot, in order to play monophonic bass lines. It totally makes...

    MIDI Controller for Taurus

    I'm the unworthy owner of a Moog T3, and want to get more use out of it. Mostly I've just been using the pedals, but I'm thinking about getting a keyboard to allow me to do more with it. Do you guys have any recommendations on good MIDI controllers, either specific makes/models or more general...

    Mike Rutherford 12-String Effects

    I know, this is sort of a guitar question, but I figure some people here might know. What effects, if any, did M. Rutherford use on his 12 string guitar back in the earlier days of Genesis (before Hackett left)? Everything on-line I can find now, is more about his more recent setups.

    Replacement for IPod Classic

    My ipod is getting long in the tooth, and I can tell that it's going to bite it soon, so... Do any of you know of a good replacement? I'm looking for something where I can upload my entire music library (about 35GB now but continuing to grow), and take it with me, and listen on the go.

    Examples of "playing bass like guitar" or "playing guitar like a bass"

    I'm still trying to get a sense of what "playing a bass like a guitar is", does anyone have links to examples? So far the only concrete example I've found from other threads is "Maggie May". Also, if guitarists play bass like a guitar, presumably somebody plays guitar like a bass. Are there...

    Getting an Allen Woody bass to thump?

    I'm thinking about buying a Hofner Icon bass, and using it to get the thumpy kind of early Beatles sound. However, I'm also attracted to the Epi Allen Woody bass, in part due to looks in part due to the fact that I've only seen good reviews of it. Unfortunately I'm not able to try out the Epi...
