I saw this on my local musicians FB page. It looked interesting to me but I as I read through something seemed off. Anyone else see issue with this post? ----------------------- The xxxx yyyy Band is looking for a new bass player! Yep, our great friend and xxx original, Zzz, has...

I just stared playing with a new band. First meeting went well, basic classic rock up to 90s rock. After the meet we got a group text wanting to add Alive and Even Flow for the next meeting. I tried but both of these songs make me nauseous when I listen to them. Reminds me when I was a...

I'm an old school classic/southern/rock guy between bands. Had the following interaction on CL. I responded to their listing and they sent back this set list. I sent back "I've played about half of those. Pretty good songs." And followed that up stating that some of them I'm not...

From Craigslist - LOL: working band. willing to feed bassist basic veggies and meat for playing sequences of quarter notes that we ask him to. maybe a stipend of actual money if he wants to feed his alcohol habit, but first needs to prove he can manage our playlist of boring classic rock. must...

A drummer I know is looking to find players for us to join and form a band. This is what he posts - the formatting is as it was listed. Would anyone in their right mind actually read all the way through it and respond? I couldn't get all the way through it and in involves me :woot:: THE...

Experienced classic rock bass player - been searching for a band to join. Posted this on CL and got a hit : Experienced classic rock bass player looking for a band. Any bands out there playing classic rock -- Stones, CCR, Tom Petty, ZZ Top. Maybe some Clapton/Cream or some Allmans or...

Looking for something to watch the other day - I fire up Netflix. After 20 minutes of scrolling and not finding anything interesting I end up just re-watching a movie I've seen before on broadcast TV. This not the first time I've done this. Would probably cancel my subscription if it wasn't...

Recently relocated to Florida after living my entire life in NY and Long Island. Really long story - not a rant just a story and I don't really feel better after telling it - lol TL;DR - put a lot of prep into an unrehearsed show with a new band. No joy. I placed a CL add and received a...

This is a very nice American made Ernie Ball Musicman Sterling bass. This bass is in excellent condition, beautiful Pearl Blue, very clean, very low playing time and has rarely left my house. Currently strung with a set of DR Sunbeams. Everything is stock. Comes with the Musicman HS case...

No gigs, and no band has found me trying to improve my overall bass knowledge and skill instead of what I would usually be doing which is just learning and practicing songs. I watched this video but I can't follow along with what he is playing. It's in C and I know that the chord tones as C...

This is a very nice MIM Classic Series 60s Jazz bass. 2009 model that I bought NOS. This bass is in excellent condition, very clean, very low playing time and has never left my house. I replaced the bridge with a Gotoh 201 bridge and currently stung with a set of TI Super Alloys. Everything...

I must have missed the memo. I just tried to cross list an item I have up on the TB classifieds here to Craigslist. Craigslist wanted me to pay a $3 fee. I've posted a lot of items on CL, the last time back in March of this year and have never been asked to pay a fee. What's up with that...

***Broken*** Gallien-Krueger 700rb/112 This combo amp is broken in that it does not light up and does not make any sound. By way of history - this used to work for many years. I used it primarily as a rehearsal amp. Later on I used it as a practice amp at home. Over time it developed a...

For sale is a very nice 8 Ohm Eden 210XTL cab with Eden cover. Recessed handles, Speakons with Eden cover. The fur is a little dusty but in good shape. The cover is in very good condition. I played through it this morning, sounds great but I haven't used this in a while as I've been using 2...

I have a lot of 160 Bass Player Magazines, a bunch of Guitar World Magazines (3 - 4 transcriptions in each issue with bass lines) and a dozen Bass Guitar Magazines. Price is based on local pick up or meet up on Long Island. Shipping is up to you if you want to go that route.

I'm downsizing a bit so putting my Mesa Powerhouse 410 up for sale. Standard Powerhouse 4x10 Bass Cabinet | MESA/Boogie® Comes with factory installed castors and the Mesa slip cover. The cover is frayed. The cab has some scuffing of the tolex but is in very good condition. I am the...

My long time band broke up in October when the singer and drummer moved out of state. Almost put something together with the guitar player but couldn't get the schedules to match with another drummer and singer so reluctantly I put a post up on CL to find a new band. After weeding through the...

Opportunity on Long Island for a Bass Player Extraordinaire. ;) No wonder these guys have trouble finding and keeping a bass player :cool: [Invalid or Expired Link Removed] Guitar/Vox/Drums/Keys......all well rounded players have been interviewing bassists for what seems like years....ya...

We have a semi regular gig at a medium sized bar with a challenging set up environment. The drums and bass are in an alcove about 6 x 6, maybe just slight larger, but it just fits the drum kit and my bass rig. Bass rig is up against the back wall with a another wall along the left side...

It did do a search in Band Management, Misc and Bass Humor/Gigs but point me somewhere is this has already been discussed. I'm an old, mediocre (let me go look up my number in the mediocre bass player group ;)) classic / blues rock bass player. My band is talking about adding an RHCP song...

As I needed to use the rest room on the way out I was the last one in the band to leave our show yesterday. The bar manger came up to me and said - "You're in the band, right?" I affirmed that I was and she proceeded to hand me the tab for the bar bill. I didn't even know the band was using...

I've come to the realization that I like the Jazz bass body and neck but I prefer the sound of split coil P pick up. I have P basses with Jazz necks and Jazz basses with upgraded pickups but I have nothing that really does the P sound in J package. Fender used to have a Reggie Hamilton Jazz...

There used to be a thread on HPF and LPF basics, well there probably still is a thread but I can't find it. Possibly started by Stumbo?, anyway can someone point me to that thread. Thanks :hyper:

Today is my birthday and just got to thinking if I could form a band made up of musicians who share my birthday. As an old classic rocker I can start with a good foundation of Jim Morrison and Greg Allman. How about you guys, can you make a group of people who share your birthday?

I read this as part of a larger post and has had me smiling for a couple of days now: What's the difference between bass and drums? - A half a beat :roflmao:

I purchased a used Fender neck to replace a Fender neck that had truss rod issues. I mounted the new neck and adjusted the truss rod for proper relief. With the new neck with proper relief my strings were laying on the fretboard. I raised the bridge saddles to their maximum height but get...

I always enjoy the threads with set lists so I figured I'd join in. This is for a town festival 2 hours slot, we're figuring and hour and 45 minutes of music max. Whole Lotta Love > Come Together Hard to Handle Midnight Hour Fire (Pointer Sisters) Stop Dragging My Heart Around Tightrope...

I am not versed in bass effects. I play straight in to the amp, no effects. This sounds like distortion or fuzz to me. Can any one tell me what pedals I could use to dial in this sound: The Door 5 to 1: .

If a traditional classic rock band that yes, plays Mustang Sally, Sweet Home Alabama, Sweet Caroline and some of the other typical cheesy songs wanted to add some funky songs that were not Play that Funky Music what do you thing would go over well.

I'm in the market for a rehearsal amp and one of these came up locally. I'm pretty familiar with Peavey and I know they tend to be heavy but does anyone have an accurate weight for this? I've searched through some threads that mention it being kind of heavy but haven't seen an actual weight...

We play bar gigs mostly indoors but some outdoors shows on the deck. We have the typical powered mixer with 2 mains and 2 powered monitors, no subs. Small set up, only the vocals go through the board. For our outdoor shows we want to mic the drums. I like this idea but the sound guy is...

Not sure if its the wide temperature swings here in the northeast recently but I'm have a heck of time getting the intonation right today. I have a show tonight so usually make sure the 2 basses I bring are cleaned, tuned and intonated. I'm a bit anal about intonation so I usually check open...

I've seen a few posts here about people being upset they were informed they were being replaced by email or text. I just stepped away from one of my bands. The reason I'm leaving is not really important but I didn't see the point of waiting 2 weeks for the next rehearsal and letting them know...

Some background - I work for a large corporation. They are required by state law to pay me for time served on jury duty. - I am responsible for my own work, no one gets saddled with any additional duties or tasks if I'm out of the office for a day or 2. - This is a civil court, people are...

Grand Funk's Somekind of Wonderful. Basic cover band staple in my parts. The original is basic drums and bass but always sounds thin when I play it. Can you guys suggest anything that I can do to thicken this up. I play a Fender P or J, finger style no effects. Amps depending on size of...

My big purchase - picked up a Korg pitchclip PC-1 clip on tuner for $9. Good price but came without a battery o_O. They had a used G&L tribute JB-2 in pretty good shape for about $250. It played pretty well but not in the market for another Jazz bass. Anybody find any good deals at your...

Not sure if this is the right forum for this but with my current band it's harder for me to hear notes played on my D and G strings than on the E and A strings. I don't notice this when I practice at home by myself but at band rehearsals and at shows there is a pronounced drop off in my ability...

I think the City Council is made up of a bunch of keyboard players ;) Loud bass moves New Port Richey to revise noise law - Tampa Bay Times ----------------------------------------------- Loud bass moves New Port Richey to revise noise law: NEW PORT RICHEY - A new noise ordinance passed in...

I have most of this - the intro the verses / chorus even have a lot of the fills and the bridge part but I could use a little help on what is played during the jam out on the outro. It sounds like it's over the same Dm G C Dm chords but I can't figure out what to play here. Any help is...

If I'm already in the band I never refuse to play any song the group wants to play. I'm OK with Mustang Sally, Sweet Home and even Brown Eyed Girl but as I get older and crankier when considering a new band and checking out their songlist there are a few that will cause me to automatically...
