So I've resumed my bass playing after almost an year's time (I played maybe a dozen times in 2022). Unsurprisingly, I do feel quite lost now and am not sure about the practice routine I want to follow. I mostly want to work on the following areas: 1. Endurance and right hand position (especially...

Around the 1:50 mark, Tom Driessler (I think he did the bass for this) plays a brilliant bass fill which uses a combination of harmonics and dead notes. Does anybody know any other songs that use Harmonics in place of dead notes in basslines? Also does anybody know any exercises/recommendations...

I've not been playing the bass for too long and managed to get stuck in my comfort zone before the lockdown. I managed to come out of it in this lockdown but it feels like I'm slowly and slowly moving into a second comfort zone. Here's a recording of me playing along with a drum track sent by a...

Okay so I was just talking to one of my friends about a song he's planning on doing in a 17/16 time signature. I've been playing the bass for around 3 years now and honestly I've mostly concentrated on things in 4/4. I had visualised a 17/16 as 3 quarters and 5 sixteenths. However he told me...

Okay so this is a really weird tuning, I got a pack of Ernie Ball 6 string bass guitar strings (29 5/8 scale) a while back for my 29 inch short scale bass but well, due to being way too short. The thinnest string broke. Instead of throwing it away I swapped the thinnest and thickest strings. So...

So I came up with this oddity a few days ago and my friend helped me record it with effects. There still is feedback in some areas but I actually feel that it adds a very natural and dark feel to it. What do you guys think of it?

I used to fiddle around with this one bass tuning I came up with- ACEG, basically tuning every thing to thirds so that you can make a lot of open tuning stuff. I still do fiddle around with it but not quite as much; I came up with these three recordings a while back and want an opinion on them...

Firstly I'm not sure whether I posted this in the right forum but here is my problem. For a long time now I've been feeling that my bass playing has been stagnant (nearly an year, and that's not good considering I've only been playing bass for 2.5 years) and really need some tips on a good bass...

Is it really possible to play percussive on a solid body bass? I mean I know slapping and hitting the strings inwards so that it hits the fretboard are two techniques that make for a good percussive sound but can we utilize the body for percussion? It's tough but is it possible and will it sound...

I purchased this bass a while ago because the first time I played it I was completely sold. It felt so good to play that I bought it without thinking for a second. Though I have no major complaints with it, I somehow feel at times it tends to wander around the overly bright side in terms of...
