I’ve been playing with and developing a good slap rhythm for a while now. Ive focused on Wayne Hancock’s bass performer’s styles for much of my listening. Along with Bill Black, Lee Rocker and others that employ the technique. I’ve also been playing a lot of traditional music (country, folk...

I did a search but it’s such a dumb question that it hasn’t been asked yet. Or I just couldn’t find it. But as the title suggests. I already own the Fender combo but I want to get the Ampeg RB112. Knowing the facts about being able to Daisy chain two Rumble 100s, I thought I could do the same...

My wife and I are going to visit Texas this May and I’d like some guidance from anyone who is familiar with the area. I’m looking to go to a couple of places where I can find some traditional C/W music and Western swing. I googled ‘honky tonk’ and a few places came up on six street and fifth...

Hey folks. I am planning a trip in the middle of May this year 2024 with my wife to Texas. I’m looking for a great music scene. We are going to San Antonio and then to Austin. We plan on spending three nights. One night in San Antonio And two nights in Austin. I am looking for honky tonk style...

I’m looking for some advice to give to my drummer. We play a few rockabilly song in our set and with the upright bass being slapped. . But last gig we had he decided he was going to try a train beat. But the train beat was really messed up, not practiced, and it didn’t work. Less then halfway...

I recently started bowing my bass. . I started lessons, and I am working from the Simandl book with my teacher. I got a basic question about posture. I think I understand a comfortable position for me to play pizzicato. But I find that I need to bend forward to bow. Otherwise, my bow is over...

I’m asking how to play an Ab major arpeggio. Should I play the root, Ab, with my middle and third fingers and the C with my first finger and then reach up a minor 3rd interval to the Eb with my 4th. Or maybe shift to the Eb and use my middle or index. Or should I start on the pinky on Ab and...

I’m going from a “rock&roll/rockabilly/Country music” style of bass playing to a jazz oriented style. What I mean is I want to start playing the bass without a baseball bat grip on the neck, with more intellectual walking lines over basic boogie woogie lines and holding the bass itself in a...

My Fathers Day gifts. Happy Fathers Day friends.

So I’m looking to play more jazz and less rockabilly and so I’m moving away from the guts. I put these D’darrios on but I’m looking for something a little more supple. I find these to be stiff under my fingertips on my left hand. Not horrible but stiff. I tried a bumped set of super Flexible...

Hey folks. I've been using foam stuffed into my F holes for almost a year now to fight feed back and I don't like the tone amplified or or acoustic although I've found it to be the most effective in the fight so far. I tried a HPF but I found that it didn't work for me. So I just found a Fishman...

2008 White Vintage Modified Precision bass body, fully loaded. Everything works perfectly. Finish has a hairline crack in it from the back to under the PG. Comes with 2 pick guards. The black one it came with and the new Tort I was going to use on it if the neck was solid. Which it wasn't.

I recently acquired a Squier P bass. It has an '08 serial number and I'm trying to see what is the fretboard made of. Rosewood or Pau Ferro. Think is Pau Ferro but the little bit of information I can get online says rosewood. I think it is vintage modified. It's made in Indonesia and has the...

I'm loving the song. We have been playing it for quite a while now and I'm always digging in and learning more of Berry's lines. He is always adding and changing and ALWAYS Always in the pocket. His groove is mesmerizing. To me. And it's such a great song. Last week I noticed the rhythm...

This is an adaptor that ties a piezo clicky pickup to the Krivo Magnetic pickup and it all works with the K&K Rockabilly Preamp bought from Gollihur. Bass Master Rockabilly UPGRADE Transducer network One side has the clicky. The other side has a 1/4 inch MALE plug that gets plugged into the...

I'm selling this pickup because I no longer have to fight feedback. I was playing in a loud rockabilly band and I was struggling with feedback so I bought steel strings and this pickup to fight that. The pickup is in excellent working order. It has a bracket that uses heavy duty velcro to attach...

Selling these strings. Were on my bass for a few weeks, played a few gigs and decided that they were not for me. Original packaging. Bought from Gollihur. Buyer usually pays shipping but I will split the cost with the buyer.

I'm looking at using a High Pass Filter, HPF, to fight feedback. I play in a loud rockabilly band and I have the K&K pre Rockabilly set up. I looked at this page which I believe is F-Deck. hpftechllc So I basically want to know if having the volume control on the HPF from F-Deck is...

The other night I had the chance to play through a Mesa Boogie Subway D800 and an Ampeg 4x10. This sucker was LOUD!! I finally was able to keep up in the studio with my band. I usually play through a Fender Rumble500 Combo in another studio. Its tough keeping up with these guys but I get close...

I've made up my mind. I'm going in for the magnetic pickup. This is my plan. I'm getting the Krivo magnetic pickup and the K&K "Upgrade Transducer" set. Total of $320. The transducer set is a fingerboard clicky pickup wired to a stereo jack input that I can plug my magnetic Krivo pickup into...

Hey guys. Does anyone know if Lee Rocker used a clicky pick up and a preamp. From what I understand he used a magnetic pick up and steel strings to slap but what else. Apologies if this has been covered before.

I have the K&K Rockabilly preamp. It takes a 9v Battery. The last gig I noticed that the output from my upright was low and sounded like garbage. I changed the battery in-between sets and problem solved. Got home and tested the batteries. The one I replaced read 8.6 volts. The new one 9.6 volts...

The rubber cap on my end pin keeps loosening. I was going to put some Teflon tape over the threads to keep it tight but I wanted to see what others thought. The end pin looks fine but the bottom of the rubber is chipped away a bit and I guess it’s worn some over the last 7 years.

I was always under the impression that Rockabilly music used a lot of slap bass. Like Bill Haleys music or early Elvis and even Stray Cats. But I find myself in a Rockabilly band with a very heavy handed drummer and a guitarist that writes music that doesn't really require the slap style. I try...

I joined a rockabilly band about 6 or 8 weeks ago. We did one gig and have 3 on the slate. Two Saturdays in a row in October. Then another one in Nov. I was really excited at first. They are fast and I had a lot of catching up to do. and I caught up pretty well. And now. Well unfortunately its...

Hi. I just installed Thomastik Super Flexible solos. I’ve got them on close to a week and a half now. I am getting a rattle on the A string when I finger a note. Not on the open A. I put a small little piece of paper under the string at the nut. That did not help. I put another small piece of...

So. I'm involved now with a very loud Rockabilly Trio and we had one gig and a few practices. At the the gig, feedback became a serious issue for me. It became a distraction and I had to stand way far apart from the other guys. I did not like it at all. So I decided to try something new. Steel...

Im joining a Rockabilly Trio band and we have a gig coming up in two weeks. Last week I developed a blood blister which hurt but not for very long. I opened up a regular blister that was developing on my thumb and I tore the skin off of it and its raw. I got a band aid on it now to keep it from...

I'm trying to get my bass to stop rattling. The strings were really close to the fretboard so I loosened the truss rod and arbitrarily raised the saddles. Now I have since then tightened the truss rod. Now I'm at the point where the strings are still a little higher than I like but I can now get...

Does anyone know if the specified weight is correct on the Traynor website? 31lbs? Has anyone tried both the Fender Rumble 200 to the Traynor SB15 and have any comparisons?

UP for Sale only. I am the original owner. the cab comes with a cover. Its a nice cover not a paper thin one. Cab weighs about 46 lbs. and has a tweeter. Buyer pays shipping and insurance.

I have heard of him but never heard him play. I never heard of his band High Noon. A rockabilly trio. I was reading about Wayne Hancock and how he started out and all. He mentioned that as he was developing his style he was looking for the Chung sound that made the guitars go Chung, Chung Chung...

I've had this since '08. It's a great little amp with a tremendous reputation. Its in perfect working order. The Gain pot and the Volume pot get a little scratchy if they don't move for a while. They go away pretty quick. I just went through the amps knobs and played through a cabinet. Perfect...

This is a Hurley preamp with a Hurley wing piezo pickup and a 'Vic's Pickups' Model A clicky pickup for under the fingerboard. These two pickups are mono and the two inputs on the Hurley pre are mono in. There is one input for the fingerboard and one input for the wing and a separate volume and...

Up for sale. I bought this bass at the beginning of 2014. Never bonded with it. It's just sitting here. It's in pristine shape. I can't find a mark or a scratch on it. It'll ship in a very basic Fender Gig bag.

I recently picked up a Fender Rumble 100 combo amp. Im looking for a small lightweight combo rig that would suffice in a small bar. But with a couple of gigs coming up that are outdoors and a couple that are inside a larger then usual for my band room, I'm feeling my doubts about this rig. The...

Thinking about renting a cabin to jam in. I was thinking to rent a cabin for a weekend and my whole band bring their gear. Have a jam away weekend. Probably get some beers and hang out and have a really good time. Anyone ever try this? Which way should I look to make this happen?

I hope I'm not 'OVER'-Posting this thread but I posted in 'Pickups and Electronics' but I don't see much response so I took it here. The neck pickup suddenly stopped working on my Jazz bass this past weekend. I took it apart and nothing is loose and nothing is broken. I bought it new in April...

Just like that. Its a jazz bass V V T controls and the bridge pickup works fine. I opened it up and there is nothing loose or appearing like it 'might' be loose. I pulled the Pickup and that looks fine as well. I pulled lightly on everything. I have a multi-meter but I don't know what to look...
