    Anybody have an opinion about Washburn's T14 series?

    I'm looking at a used bass for practice only kept at my step-sons where I spend about 4 weeks a year. Price seems fair, but I don't know much about them. Seems to maybe be an older model as I don't see any on Musicians Friend or Guitar Center (was looking for pricing and reviews).

    That Flatwound Sound

    So, I must admit, I'm fairly new to the bass. I've never played one with flatwound strings, though I've been told that I should try them. Bass strings are a bit more expensive and bigger deal of an experiment than guitar strings....I was wondering.... I have a Zoom B3. I looked for something...

    Chris Squire Memorial-From Scotty Squire

    My best friend and the love of my life Chris Squire will be cremated today in Scottsdale, Arizona at 3:00 pm. However, knowing Chris, he might be running a bit late for the event; After all, he has always been the 'late' Chris Squire. So at 3:00 pm Phoenix time, please take a moment to play...

    Ernie Ball Scale

    I was thinking about switching my Squier Jag V to Flatwounds and was looking at the Ernie Ball strings (2810). I read one review that cautioned that they may not be long enough. How do I verify that?

    Squier Jaguar vs P or Jazz

    I'm not real savy on all the gear-head stuff, but this confuses me.....and I know I am talking on the lower end here. The price point for a new Squier Jazz VM or P bass VM is more than that of a Squier Jaguar VM. It was my understanding that the Jaguar is kind of a combination of the...

    Orlando Area

    Acoustic Double Bass a plus, to join an experienced, well-rehearsed trio that meets in the Dr. Phillips area. Versatility with other instruments a plus. Existing members influences include (but are not limited to) Grateful Dead, Traditional Bluegrass, Folk-Rock, Country, Reggae, & Jazz. Existing...

    Passed on a bass, think I made the right call

    It was at a guitar show/expo. Fender (Mexican) Precision. According to the serial number, 2000-2001. It was fretless, but it seemed pretty clear to me that it once had frets and they were simply removed. They guy was asking $250 and wouldn't budge. Should I have grabbed this?

    What is meant by a "hot bass"?

    Reading my amp manual, it says the following: "INPUT - Plug your passive or active bass in here. If your bass is too hot....." What are they talking about? Thanks

    Zoom B3 Beginner help

    Hello, I got one of these baby's for Xmas. I have been an acoustic, non-effects guy for most of my life. I am real excited about the possibilities of this pedal. When I started to read the manual, I was fine until I got to page 10, Selecting patches. My mind tells me that "creating a...

    Opinions On Two Amps: Behringer BXL3000 And Fender Rumble 150

    I have been looking in the $200-$400 range for a combo with a 15" and at least 100w. It's truly amazing how everything you look at can have a number of excellent reviews and still have a couple of folks that say "Stay away"! Anyway, I tried the Rumble 150 and thought it was strong, but then...

    NBD Dean EAB

    Ok, I know it's not the greatest bass out there, but I spend a fair amount of time at my step-son's house and my wife gets me. I already had a six string that I just keep here, now I got a real nice deal on this so I can have something to practice on while away from home. I'm thinking...

    First Open Mic playing Bass

    Been a long time guitarist, done plenty of OMs with six strings, but started playing bass around Labor Day. Last night I was able to play bass with the "house band" and it felt great. I'm feeling really comfortable down on the low end.

    Opinions On A Warwick RockBass please

    Hello all, I am a long time 6-stringer who bought his first bass this past Labor Day. I went entry level, low-end with a Squier Jaguar Vintage Modified Special. I actually like it very much, but I figured next Christmas, maybe I'd get something a little more serious, also considering things...

    Can you use one speaker cabinet bass/guitar

    If I go split head/cabinet, can I get a bass head and a guitar head, and use the same speaker cabinet (not at the same time obviously). Basically asking, is there a difference in the speakers that each uses. Thanks

    What makes you pick a new pickup?

    Let's say I want to upgrade one or both of the pickups on my bass. I'm not sure why yet, but that's part of the question. For me to know how the pickup works/sounds with MY bass, it MUST be in my bass, right? I mean, the wood, the strings, my amp, I'm sure other things that I am missing...

    Under The Boardwalk (The Drifters)

    so a guitar player, bass newbie here. Always liked this tune and it's got a real nice bass line to it, so I learned it and I share it. constructive critiques welcome. I guess the formatting is preventing some of the lyrics from lining up properly, but you should get the idea. It's a pretty...

    Christmas Is Coming, need suggestions

    Hello, So I have been playing acoustic guitar for a long time and recently started playing the bass. I'm picking it up quickly and really enjoying it. I was never a big gear head even in terms of guitar, and honestly, I had never even really thought of effects when it came to bass. What...

    Long or Extra Long

    I am an Elixir fan when it comes to my guitars. I am new to the bass, however. I found strings from Elixir that match the specs of the strings that the bass shipped with, but there were two choices, the only difference being one is long and one is extra long. My bass is a Squier Jaguar VM...

    Should I change factory strings?

    I recently got my Squier Jag VM, and I honestly don't know enough yet about it or bass to know. I believe the strings it ships with are Fender 7250's.

    Snark-Talk

    I got three of-em....two SN1's and one SN-8. It picks up the A, D, and G fine, but it really seems to have trouble picking up the low E. It gets it on the 12th ok, but..... Anyone else have an issue with this?

    Newbie Here!

    Hello all. I've been playing 6 strings for most of my life and trying to become more versatile I have been tinkering around with Bass. I just picked myself up a Squier Jag VM and I love it. I was looking to personalizing it with a custom pick guard. I found a cool web-site, but I was...
