Looking to learn more in the Gospel style for bass. I'm sure there are tons of good videos and discussions out there. Besides from just saying "use the search feature," can anyone direct me towards some good places to start? I've a good grasp of general bass techniques, but don't know much about...

Usually I've kept my flats on my P but recently got curious and decided to swap them out. It's been probably a year since I've had rounds on a P bass and it's been nice. The real surprise, however, was how much I love the flats (D'addario chromes, medium) on my J. It's just so smooth, but I find...

Last time I brought you all the cheap pedal board challenge. We were trying to build the best/most interesting board for $100 or less. After several comments that the budget was too restrictive and uninteresting I've decided to revive the game with a different twist. So effects lovers let's play...

Yesterday I found a Boss BF-2 Flanger at a pawn shop for $40. It's the Taiwan version but so far build quality and effect has been great. I mean it's a flanger so utility is limited but there's a surprising number of sounds in there and I realized I'd never owned a Boss pedal before and that...

There's lots of post about finding the best pedal on a budget. I thought it might be a fun game to see what boards people can come up with for $100 or less. Here's the rules: - The total value of all pedals must be equal to or less than $100. - We will assume that you already have something to...

Hey guys! So I've got a Squier Affinity PJ bass and a set of EMG GZR pups. I know i'm not going to get a killer super bass putting them together - it's more just fun to be had with parts I've got around. I notice, however, that the GZR J is slightly too big for the bridge pickup route in the...

Setting up a new P bass on Monday (just a Squire Affinity PJ) and I've got a set of DA Chromes in medium gauge I want to try. I see based on searches some people are scared of the tension of these and similar strings. I've played flats before so I'm not worried about how they feel compared to...

Narrowed my search down to these two options (though also still somewhat tempted by para driver and EBS microbass II) and I was wondering which one handles other effects (primarily fuzz and distortion better). I know the tone differences between the two have been reviewed (though if you have...

Looking to build a bass from some parts I have around from various projects. Mostly need a body that fits Fender/Squier necks. Where are some good places to look for decent bodies on a budget? I know Warmoth is mentioned frequently. Are there any less expensive options that are worth a darn?

There's quite a few threads about the MXR Preamp but does anyone use it straight into the house? I see it gets pretty good reviews but a lot of folks use it with an amp from what I can tell. How does it sound on its own?

I'm looking to update my DI pedal (we're using a sansamp bassdriver v1 I think. No mid knob) and was wondering how important it is to have speaker/cab sim in the pedal. A lot of reviews run DIs through amps and I primarily use mine through the house. Would I be better served finding a DI with...

So I'm just about finished setting up the pedals for my rig. Looks like I'll be using a DOD Carcosa Fuzz, Zoom MS60B Multistomp, Taurs Tux Mk2 Compressor, and either a sansamp or MXR DI+. What're my best options for powering this being that the Taurus wants to run at 12v (though can be run...

Hey, everyone! I wanted to build a very small but versatile effects setup for bass. I primarily play in a praise/worship band. My current rig consists of a sansamp, a Taurus Tux mk2 compresor, and DOD Carcosa fuzz. I'm thinking of adding a multi effect to have access to effects I use less like...

Looking to pick up a fretless ukulele bass for travel and maybe some upright-ish sounding stuff. Was wondering if anyone had experience with either of these or could point me in a better direction. I'm trying to keep it sub $300 if possible. 30" Fretless Electric Acoustic Ukulele Bass...
