Okay, so, for the longest time, I was confused to why people considered double thumbing to be hard. As far as I knew, it was just using your thumb as a pick, but I knew there was obviously more to it, considering people found it so hard. I watched countless videos on the technique, but I never...

Okay, I've been playing for 9 years, but this year I decided to get serious about bass. I've been recording myself to actually listen to what I'm playing and god, it's horrible! I have no sense of rhythm and I'm playing everything off-beat. I've been in multiple bands and everybody has told me...

Yes, this question is subjective to the individual. So, I'm asking what you personally consider to be "bad tone". I'm not entirely sure myself, other than that it would sound thin or muddy. What is "bad" bass tone to you? In contrast, what is "good" bass tone to you? Post examples if need be!

Since getting your first bass, what's the longest you've gone without getting another bass? I've been thinking about this because as most of us know how easy it is to run out of GAS. Since starting bass at age 12, the longest I've gone without buying a new bass is 4 years. That was 2012 to...

I've recently purchased an electro-acoustic bass guitar and I understand that they don't sound as good as they could while plugged into a regular bass amp. So, I should probably buy a more suited one to get the best "acoustic" sound I can. Just wondering if anybody could advise me on the best...

After 9 years of playing with two fingers, I'm deciding to incorporate the three-finger technique into my playing. I just feel as if I would get more out of it, as it suits the fast style of music my band plays. I've been trying to get into this technique for a while, but I just can't seem to...

I'm just about to modify this baby (the one on the top): I plan on adding white pickup covers, changing all hardware to gold and the plastic on the controls to white. So, I'm wondering what basses have you modified and how have they turned out? Before and after photos are a bonus!

Yesterday, I was looking around for 90's Fender jazz basses and I spotted this gorgeous one: I was absolutely breathtaken! I'm a huge sucker for gold hardware, block inlays and matching headstocks, so I have maaaajor GAS for this one. It's a 1996 MIJ limited edition signature for The Ventures...

I'm considering buying this cheap, battered Fender Aerodyne bass I've seen on eBay and taking it to a luthier to defret it. I already have an Aerodyne and I love that kinda model because of the fast neck, matching headstock and the general lightness, and thinness of the model itself. But now...

As a small bassist, my Fender Aerodyne is just perfect for me! I love how the model is medium scale and light, as well as beautiful looking. Just wondering if any of you can recommend me some decent basses which are similar to the Aerodyne? By similar, I mean in terms of both looks and...
