So I recently started learning finger style bass and I was just wondering what you think of my playing style after five weeks of play yousician Any feedback would be appreciated

so I work at a pc repair shop with a guy who plays keyboards and records music part time, and just today, he was playing one of his tracks and told me I should play bass on some of his tracks. I'm a little hesitant about it because although I am getting pretty good at yousician, an app that...

Keep in mind this is only after one week of starting to learn finger style bass. I played with a pick for the last three years, and I've decided it's time to widen my taste in music And yes I am playing well sitting down. But that's only until I can get used to playing finger style.

happy Veterans Day to everyone!

so recently I have been looking at expanding my musicianship by trying to nail finger style bass, and I saw an ad on YouTube for an app that is supposed to show you the ropes of playing bass as well as guitar from beginners level, to advanced professional. I looked at the app on the App Store...

click the link below. If you cant see it then I will post it on here

Just for fun, let's all post videos of how crappy we are! Or were. These can be band videos or just covers of you playing along to songs. I would post videos of myself, but pretty much every video I make is crappy by my standards! LOL

I'm wondering how to downpick Dee Dee Ramone style other than hanging the bass really low. Right now, I'm practicing down picking near the bridge, but I see DD Ramon did it more in the middle. I'm also wondering how long did it take for most of you to get down picking perfected at the same speed...

For me at least, I picked nonmainstream. You I just think not mainstream music in general is better. It's not something you typically hear on the radio, which is a good thing, because if I have to hear "let it go" one more time I'm going to rip my Brain out of my skull. I wish more people I...

So right now I'm using a set of elixirs and to be honest right now, they last a very long time but they're just not cutting it for me sound wise. I've tried early ball regular slinky's, as with GHS, and well I think they're better, they're not exactly the type of sound I'm looking for. I've...

keep in mind guys I've only learned this song yesterday and it's still not 100% done I just want you to tell me how it's going

None of my friends play instruments, or are into the same music i am into. i looked on cragslist, and other sites, and still nothing. IDK what am i doing something wrong? Should i actually try to find a band, or should i just not waste my time and be a hobbyist for a chunk of my life? Someone...

so I'm looking at buying a new bass amp (my old one works but i just want to upgrade it) and I'm not sure if i should buy an amp or a GK. I am also open to Mark Bass, peavy and other brands. What is a fair price for a good quality amp like GK or amp?

So I listened to screeching weasels recent album "baby fat" I will be honest, I have mixed reactions about it. It feels more like an rock operetta than it is actual punk like what screeching weasel usually does. There were some songs I liked, and some I don't like, but that's unlike any other...

hey guys! So my last post involved giving suggestions for good non mainstream punk rock bands. I must say, I really got some great suggestions, like the Staples, sloppy seconds, and good stuff like that. But then there were some bands I didn't really care for like doom. Not a fan of...

so recently, I saw this form that has something to do with squiers being good values, and his premium price is really worth it for premium quality. I replied on the form seeing that in my opinion, Squiers are a better value because they essentially sounded the same as fenders in my opinion...

So I'm looking at expanding my taste when it comes to punk music. Only problem is, pretty much everything I hear nowadays is mainstream punk. In all honesty, I don't even think mainstream punk is really even punk. I believe it is what killed the term "punk". Don't get me wrong, I'd like some...

So I'm sure you guys all remember my talk base post where I said my McDonald's manager called bass lame. I thought it would be hilarious to share more words of wisdom from him to you. Here you go! "I will outschool you when it comes to music" He doesn't even play a shaging instrument " The...

because for me at least, I agree with pretty much all of his points. I think his bass player jokes are freaking hilarious! Why? Just because they are. Especially his shirt that says " your bass player is a useless **** " lol I don't understand why so many bass players are getting so butt hurt...

hey guys. I know this has nothing to do with bass or anything like that but I need to ask a question that has been bugging me for the last 6 months or so. First off are there any great bassists with autism? And also When will people learn that there is a difference between having a learning...

For me, I describe bad playing days as not being able to get a single song i play on point in terms of picking and fretting hand accuracy. that frustrates me beyond all hell. But i did start the practice session "Trying to play a song differently" than what i usually do. Longview by green day...

So a guy at guitar center told me that the stock pickups for fender and squier bass's are Seymour Duncan's and also said that while stock pickups are good you can buy third party pickups like EMG and fender N3 noiseless pickups. Any other good brands I can buy from? I'm talking about both p and...

i usually prefer bud and Miller cuz i'm just a light guy like that. Any brand you recommend?

I've never played in the band before, I only play punk rock, I think Pete Wentz is and awesome guy even though I don't think he's the best bassist around either, I only play bass as a hobby because I enjoy doing it, even though I do plan on joining a band sometime in the future. Oh and this...

Mike Dirnt for me

which do you prefer

i mean don't get me wrong he's not the most technically proficient bass player in the world, but I can think of players FAR worse than him (for example: Sid Viscious and I've heard Robert Trujillo is pretty bad too). The man has an awesome stage presence and personality! Not to mention he really...

Hey guys. So you may have noticed that I posted some pretty stupid things on here like calling people conformist asses when I disagree with them, like posting stupid questions and stuff like that, I'm sorry. Really I am. Sometimes I doNT really think before I post on the Internet and I need to...

Whenever I'm just jamming I usually don't feel any bit nervous while playing but when I get in front of a camera to film myself playing and posting it to Facebook I become such a nervous wreck that I'm going to screw up miss a note or just shag up the song all together. I've only been in one...

I'm not sure if I'm like everyone else here, but usually I think getting a song 100% down is just a waste of time. I believe that as long as it sounds good with the mix when you're playing along to The song, then just stick with it. That's just my personal opinion.

does anyone else get told this and get pissed off?

are ampegs really worth the money? What seems to be the difference between ampegs and brands like fender and peavy and acoustic?

just making fun of one of my previous posts!

Just wondering what you guys think

Hey guys I'm going to do a Q&A video for the talk bass fourm. If you want to ask questions just ask me and i will answer whatever i can in the video! Any rude or shaged up questions will be reported. If you want your name mentioned in the video, just post a smiley emoji in the comments!

I am in the market for a new bass amp. i have had a fender rumble 75 for the last 2 years now and am looking to upgrade to a fender rumble 300, one of the new ones. Ive also heard some good things about mark bass, Eden bass amps I'm not sure about.

Personally, in my opinion I'm just not sure I'm really a fan of his style. He tends to play massive scales and stuff with punk rock music, whereas for most of the other bands I listen to the bass player just tends to follow the guitar player. Not too sure I'm a big fan of rancid, yet I love...

I typically use a classic vibe squire p bass for all my needs. I also have a Fender J and a crappy old dean that i can't remember if i sold or not.
