Hey guys, having trouble here. My GK MB112-2 is turning on, I hear the click but the power ring doesnt turn blue, it stays red. And no sound plays when i play a string. I plugged an XLR cable into the direct out and plugged that into a PA and it plays sound, but it wont play just plugged into...

Hello, I apologize if this has been answered before, I can't seem to find the answer. I want to buy a new black bridge for my 5 string Ibanez, model SR405QM. I like the hipshot bridges a lot but I don't know which one is compatible with my bass. Is there a compatibility chart somewhere...

I am pretty sure the bass is synthesized in this song. But after hearing it, I feel that it can be physically played. this may be a stupid question but I had to ask.

Hi, I did some research on this bass and I feel it is the right one for me, pending that it is comfortable, I still need to try it in person. I use a Peavey max 115 II amplifier and I have a tech21 para driver pedal that I sometimes use. I had a few questions, are the pickups that it comes...

Hi, I am looking for a new amp in the 300 dollar range. I like what I see with this peavey amp. I noticed that this website sells it for 299 with free shipping and every single other supplier has them listed at 349 with free shipping. This supplier though, shows the wrong picture. Is...

Please help me, I have a 1st world problem. I can't sleep at night, I'm tossing and turning, I had 3 panic attacks in a row yesterday and I need answers. What to buy for BlAcK FrIdAy!!?? I know I want something bass related, I don't want to buy a new bass because I like the one I have. I was...

I am trying to play the song "2 AM" by "Slightly Stoopid". It is reggae and the bass sounds staccato, it is choppy and it makes the bass sound even bouncier and better then it really is. I love this effect and I am having a hard time doing it, I think he is playing 16th notes and I can't silence...

I just got a tech21 sansamp paradriver DI, plugged it into my fender bassman 60 amp and when the blend knob is turned there is a very loud hissing noise coming from the amp. The bass is otherwise dead silent when the DI is bypassed. I tried using a 9V battery instead of my 9V power supply but...

I have a PJ style bass with a blend knob. I finished shielding the bass last month and it is dead silent when the neck pickup is fully active, blend turned to one side. As soon as I get the blend knob to the center detent and begin mixing the bridge pickup into the signal, it starts to buzz...

Sometimes if my right hand is wet from either sweat or just washed them, I find it hard to control my plucking. If they are too dry, they stick and the fingering becomes inconsistent. Does anyone have experience with this, what do I do? There is an optimal moisture content for my right hand and...

Hi, I will be replacing the nut on my rogue LX205. It's chipped pretty bad. I watched this video series on replacing the nut and I have a few questions. The guy sets the action height to 0.022" off the first fret. Is this standard? I have feeler gauges to accomplish this. Does anyone have...

Hey guys I am going to start to disassemble my bass. I have never done this before. I understand basic things about the bass like the tension on the strings puts a compressive load on the neck it at the same time wants to bend it upward. And there is a truss rod in there to counter these forces...

Hi. My girlfriend is a professional artist. The stuff she makes is out of this world. Mostly psychedelic dream world stuff. I thought it would look so nice on my bass. I have a very cheap beginner bass that has a gunmetal color. I want to do the whole bass in her art. Is painting a bass...

I have a question. Would it be a better learning experience to learn the basics of many different songs (even, not learning the whole song but just the basic skeleton of the song, chords, melodies etc...) or learn one song a time and get through the whole thing with every fine detail? I find...

Hi, Sometimes I like to play my bass directly over an audio track with both sounds coming straight out of the amplifier. I have a tascam DP01 which works ok as just a signal merger (its a basic mixer). I plug in my phones AUX cable into the tascam and then merge that with my bass input and...

Hey guys that last thread that was posted on soldering pots was a huge hit in my opinion. I need to start my own specific to my needs because I didnt want to hijack. Here is the original thread. http://www.talkbass.com/threads/passive-pots-and-capacitors-help.1054862/ I have a rogue 5 string...

Title. Meaning all fuzz pedals, distortions, DI's, etc... Please explain.

I dont know what 'scale' my bass is. I want to buy these strings. Invalid Link Removed It says they are 34" (long). Would they fit this bass? Invalid Link Removed It says it is a 34" bass, but does not say "long" scale? Thanks

Hey people I have a question I know you can answer. The bass as a whole is composed of a few major components. Bridge, body, neck, head, strings, pickups. OK, If you wanted to get the biggest change in overall sound quality or tone, which component would you change and which one after that...

Hey I was watching this video. I love the sound coming out of this guys bass. I just wanted to know, is he using some other signal conditioner (distortion or flange) to get that sound or is it all from the BDDI? How did he get that sound? I am looking to invest in a pedal, I am a beginner...

I am a beginner that has a decent understanding of music theory. I practice daily, I know a few songs and I play basic scales whenever I can. I feel like I am not improving much anymore, am I missing something? What should I be doing?

I am looking for the REAL tabs for this song. Here is the current tabs listed online. G||---11-----------------9-----9--|-------------------------9--------9---|| D||*-----14-------14--------------|--------14--x--14--------------------*||...

Hi, I know that when playing bass, timing is everything. Some people say they dont like when a bassist wanders off beat. Scientifically speaking, how early or late does initiating the note with respect to the beat have to be before the average person (not trained) will find it unacceptable...

Hi, I am playing a song that requires me to slide from the 8th fret all the way up to the 13th fret on the A string using my ring finger. I find that my ring finger, as I perform the slide, falls off the string and screws up my slide. I am trying to use the correct part of the finger, should...

Hi, Is it common for someone that learned a song or scale, to forget it if not practiced for an extended period of time? What would that amount of time be? Is playing NOT like a bicycle (never forget it)? I am worried that if I stop practicing my favorite genre to devote time to scales, I...

Hi everyone, I just turned 30 years old and I started playing bass 3 months ago. I started playing acoustic guitar about 6 months ago and got very frustrated with it so I made my way to electric guitar then I bought a bass and the rest was history. One of the reasons why the bass attracted me...
