What would i need to start recording bass tracks? I have no recording gear. I don’t even have a computer. But with all my gigs gone I’d like still be able to make music with people. Is it foolish to try and buy it all and figure it out at the same time? Would I be spending a lot of money just...

Not sure if I should agree to this gig. I started playing this venue(a bar with some light food) I played there a few times a year with three different groups, two of which I booked and the other group I’m more of a hired gun. None of the shows ever brought a lot of people to the venue and the...

i recently got a boss Gt-1b in a trade. I wasn’t planning on getting one but it was such a good deal I took it. I’ve has fun messing with it at home but to use it live, how I use effects, I need a some sort of switchable effects loop. I’m looking for something simple, decently well made, and not...

This is a question for anyone who has done pit band gigs, specifically Mama Mia. I was contacted about a last minute gig playing in the pit for this musical. I’m already booked the dates of the show but I’m curious about it. How hard woukd you rate the music for Mama Mia. I’m familiar with some...

A few months ago I got a micro cube and I was pretty impressed with it. Is anyone using a 20xl or 60xl for gigging? What are your thoughts on these these guys? I'm not looking for recommendations on other amps just experiences with the Roland cubes.

My jazz group was recently contacted about playing a black tie event. We would be playing during the reception from 6-730. I'm assuming we will be mostly background. I don't own a tux. Would it be "improper" to wear a black suit?

I saw someone selling a digitech bp 90 for $20. I figured at that price why not. I haven't bought it yet and was wondering if anyone uses it and if so what was good about it, what wasn't.

I'm trying to find a clip of the all star jazz Grammy performance. Nathan East, Joe Lovano, Robert Glasper, and Billy Hart. I've been searching on everywhere including the Grammy website. Anyone have a link?

I've recently been approached by potential a few people who wanted to take lessons from me. I have taught a couple of lessons before a while back but not many. I would like to get into teaching a little bit I think or could be fun and I could use the extra money. I could use any tips more...

I've played bars, restaurants, famous concert halls, biker rallies, stores, schools, hospitals, house parties, political fundraisers, international jazz festivals, small hippie fests, blues fests, reggatas, backyards, and funerals, but tonight is my first library. What strange places have you...

I'm looking into getting a preamp. I've checked out the fishman platinum pro, lr baggs, and some of the radial 'bone stuff. I'm interested in getting a consistent volume between arco and pizz, reducing feedback, generally improving my tone, being more on control of the signal I give to a sound...

I'm looking for any good leaning material for upright slap. I've already been playing for years but it was a technique I didn't need for the music I usually play. Now I may have some decent paying gigs coming to me that will require a little slap. If you could point me to some good instructional...

Is there any sort of forum like talk bass for vocalists? I know there would not be as many posts about gear. But there has to be some sort of online community for singers.

How many people on here use this amp? It looks interesting and I'd love to here about your experiences with it.

How many people on here use this amp? I'm looking to get a second head and thus guy looks interesting.

I've been thinking about getting a volume pedal or a boost pedal to use with my upright. There is a very big volume jump when I switch from pizz to arco. I also think it would be nice to have a little extra something if I need it for solos. Some of the music I've been playing has gotten a little...
