All my instruments only go to G and I can’t afford the new ones with H-notes 8-) The music is for the song ‘Boogie man’ by Bernard Allison and it is from Ultimate Guitar. Jokes aside, I do not understand what is mean by H+sus+4 that is scattered throughout the music. Any thoughts? Thankyou...

Hello I currently use DR Neon bass strings (red) on my Fender Jazz. The strings look fantastic! On the other hand, the playability is merely okay. For example, sliding a finger down the strings is quite low volume compared to other strings I use and the strings on the jazz are very clackity...

. . . as the student entered our home, she said to my wife, "One of my strings is buzzing". I replied, "Is it the B string?". The student didn't get it and yet I'm still in trouble :laugh:

. . . For posting guitar photos :roflmao: My friend is curious about the manufacturer and model of this guitar. I don’t want to join a guitar forum (erk!) to find-out. Thankyou.

The rig used by Geoff Turner of “The Radiators” at their gig last night. Sounded fabulous! First time I’ve heard a Genzler amp live. Impressive, very impressive.

Quite a different look! The image is clipped from the Bass Centre website in Australia. These are the same price as the original black combos.

I played a Christmas carols event for a local community last night. I wasn't with my usual band; rather, I performed with a small group put-together for the event. I usually perform with a Fender Rumble 100. On this occasion, the guitarist offered me a Mesa D-800 and the drummer offered me a 15"...

Hello, I saw this old video of Herman's Hermit's performing "No milk today". In video, you'll see several of the band members have double microphones. Simply curious as to why - can anyone explain?

Hello everyone, I'm seeking a bit of advice on how to play this tab from the song "Breakeven" by The Script. I've not previously come-across this situation with tab for bass guitar. In the tab (image below), am I meant to play/pull the notes on the 13th and 14th frets together, or, are they...

From what I understand, the bass was not involved in the fraças. Invalid Link Removed

Hello everyone, is there a proper name for this type of power connector? Thank you for your help.

Hello fellow TBers I'm curious about the general bass style for merequetengue. I've searched for bass tab but I've only been able to find one example, which is at the link below. Does this represent the general style of the music? Is anyone aware of other bass tab for this style of music...

In this thread: Secret for picking a band name. @pLewis asked how you go about naming a band. That started me thinking and exploring and I came across several random word generators, including the one in the link below. For a bit of fun, have a go and see what you might otherwise have named...

I recently started a thread about 10-15% increases in Fender prices from 1 Jan 2023. And with that I decided to purchase a Fender Player Jazz I've been considering for a while. It arrived today at my local retailer and it is a gem of an instrument. It combines well with my Fender Rumble 100...

One of the major bass guitar retailers in Australia is promoting a price increase by Fender of 10 to 15% as of 1 January 2023. Has anyone else from another country heard of similar price increases?

Looking-forward to where this takes me . . .

'Tan Solo' (So lonely or So lonesome) by Los Piojos (The Head Lice), an Argentinian group from the '90s. My wife came across this piece today and tonight I've been learning it on bass. I think it might be a useful piece for more advanced beginners. It is reasonably slow, includes some...

This post relates to "Black Winds" by Little John and the Monks (from ?1965). I heard this track on "Bordertown" last night. It is the closing track for Season 3, Episode 3 and I found the music on YouTube. On YT, there is a comment by Rixster, who claims to be the co-author and bass player on...

I was perusing the listings in a marketplace and saw an advertisement for a pedal called a 'Jam Pedals Delay Llama', which I found amusing. Is anyone aware of other amusingly named pedals?

A couple of years ago, I bought a Squier Affinity PJ as my first bass and soon afterwards changed the original strings for Rotosound Swingbass 66 (45-105). It is now time to change the strings. I have a packet of D'Addario NYXL strings (45-105). I play a broad range of contemporary music (from...

"Carrot in a box" from the British comedy series "8 out of 10 cats".

Bass Centre in Australia just started selling Warwick Gnome bass heads and they're very reasonable priced in that they start from AUD$249. I'd not previously heard of these amp heads. Has anyone used one? What are your experiences thoughts? Regards Peter

Likely a beginner question, but it's been bugging me for a few months. As per the heading - Where do you begin to craft a sound, even a basic sound? The point I am making is that a bass guitar has controls that affect a sound, be it something as simple as tone controls or controls for L-M-H...

Hello My point of confusion is why a 'large' ABG has a very low volume when a 'small' U-bass has a huge volume? I bought an Acoustic Bass Guitar thinking that it would be loud like a normal guitar. And I was wrong. I searched the TB fora and found some posts explaining why an ABG has such a...

Sterling by Music Man Stingray 4HH in Lake Blue Metallic (it is blue rather than the grey shown in the photo). Edit It is a 'Ray and so I'm thinking of naming her Reina.

Hoping it will arrive before the end of the week. Here's a teaser photo . . .

Hello everyone Can anyone identify the bass guitar in the image? I couldn't get any closer due to COVID restrictions. Thankyou for your help. EDIT I mean the electric bass (not the upright).

I read a bit on TB about effects pedals, including synth pedals. Building on that, I was wondering if anyone has tried using their bass through a Roland JD-XI. Anything I need to know before trying it? Any particular settings I should use/try? Should I use a passive input into the JD-XI or a...

Hello everyone, I am Peter and I am a very new to learning to play bass. Early this year, I picked a bass for the first time and I felt something extraordinary. I really love learning to play bass. I've been reading TB for a few months and recently decided to join. I look-forward to spending...

Hello everyone My first post / question . . . 1. Any suggestions for a portable, lithium battery power pack to power amps; for example, when busking? 2. Does the output need to be pure sine wave or will modified sine wave suffice? I am aware of amps by Roland and Behringer that are battery...
