Not sure if I like it or not. Kinda not, but it is unique! The video in '72 shows it with what appears to be a black pickguard and a greyish paint job. Must've been taken down to wood later, since the pics show a pretty crappy refinishing job... [Invalid or Expired Link Removed] You get...

Started watching Goliath on Amazon Prime last night. Really like the show. With Billy Bob Thornton, William Hurt and Dwight Yoakam, it's hard to go wrong, in my book. But, I've REALLY been digging the soundtrack too. Bonus! Goliath Season 1 Soundtrack - YouTube

This is a spin-off from my last thread, where I was venting about the LS getting drunk to the point of not being able to properly do his job. Some of the responses in that thread made me wonder what different people think constitutes a successful gig. Money? Cheering? Dancing? Drinking? Playing...

So, one of the bands I'm in is made of up older guys, two of which are in the health care industry (so are all about taking care of their bodies) and the other three of us are retired. I'm the youngest, at 56. Needless to say, we've all experienced enough of life that I thought we all would be...

Hey all, I've been playing around with the intro to Stairway, and am enjoying doing the recorder parts on my bass. One of the bands I'm in is starting to learn this song as an "indulgence" song, so would like to find a set of effects that could approximate a recorder. I have a Zoom B3 that...

I might actually want to try this sometime, but it would still be weird, I think.... What say you? Wearing headphones at a concert isn’t as weird as I thought it would be

Some interesting comments and insights into Victor...

Pawn Shop special... Samick Greg Bennett Design Corsair CR4 The sticker said 330 (CDN), so I figured I'd lowball them and offered 200. I had been there about a month before and liked it, but not for the sticker price. The battery ground lead needs resoldering, everything is else fine. Killer...

Not including the year of piano lessons when you were 10 (me), or the trumpet you played for a year in junior high (me again), what was your main instrument of choice before you picked up the bass? And, what motivated you to change your primary instrument? EDIT: The reason I'm asking this is...

This video is 4 years old, so I assumed this had already been discussed, but I couldn't find a thread on it. I am not really at all surprised that this is done. But, it still saddens me nonetheless... The industry hasn't changed. It's always been about the money, but this has brought it into...

Scorsese does it again. This gave me a much greater appreciation for Dylan. Still don't like his voice, but he had a real charisma on stage, with a powerful delivery of his lyrics, even though it was usually not in tune. Was impressed by Rob Stoner on bass. Seems like he kept Dylan on track...

I've been generally dissatisfied with the bands I'm in lately. They lack the desire to get out and jam, the guitarist in one band doesn't want to gig at bars (the bars I want to play at aren't really sketchy, just your average neighbourhood bar). The other band I'm in is having trouble getting...

Comparing sustain on different basses seems to be a somewhat subjective exercise. The method I have heard espoused is to pluck a string and time how long you can hear it. So, you are never going to pluck the string the exact same way any two times, and you may not hear the end of the audible...

OK, my drummer is not playing a shuffle beat to La Grange. I mentioned to him a couple of times that the song is a shuffle, but he's still not doing that. I have ended up compensating by playing the bassline with a shuffle rhythm for the first 2/3 of the song, but it just isn't the same. And...

Hey all, looking for some guidance on the skill set needed to be good at quickly picking up songs when playing at a jam. I first got the itch to pick up a bass when I was photographing bands as a sideline. I would go to jams and take photos, building up my clientele by giving them free samples...

My first foray into the world of bass effects was the Zoom B3. At the time, it was a GREAT investment and I don't at all regret getting it. Four years later, now that I've grown as a bass player and know more about what I want and don't want in a pedal setup, I'm beginning to feel somewhat...

Baby carrots: “Baby” carrots are actually fully mature specimens of a small carrot variety. A true immature, or baby, carrot would actually not have much flavor and not be worth eating. The bags of “baby” carrots available in supermarkets aren’t baby carrots either. These are just pieces of...

So, I got asked to do sound for a touring act at a local cultural society hall (seats about 250 people) for $300. I said sure. Good pay for doing sound. I find out later that the tour is a fly-in and they are only supplying their guitars. Full drum kit, 2 keyboards and rack, 3 guitar amps and a...

The title says it. Here's my 2 cents, in no particular order... Room Acoustics - lively without being too echoey. Enough breaks in the room to break up standing waves, dead spots, boomy corners, etc... Shoebox dimensions with the stage on a short wall. Sound - High end gear with a great...

I know there are at least a few other Edmontonians here, so thought I'd start a thread where we could share experiences / insights on all things bass in Edmonton. Hopefully it will provide some benefit to folks here...
