    Jaco's solo on Chicken ?

    Wow! Great post thanks. Nice horns eh? How the hell did he throw that low C??? Hipshot detuner maybe? Fantastic bass solo. And man, for just once in your life even, to hire horns that good, and make them wear all black while you wear bright red stripes. What a scoundrel haha.

    Jaco's solo on Chicken ?

    I had this memory of the horns quieting down for a bass solo on The Birthday Concert's Chicken, but Jaco doesn't take a solo on that recording. I checked Invitation, but not on there either. Can someone point me to a recording of Jaco taking a solo on Chicken ? I love the way he grooves while...

    Using “She” and “Her” when referring to basses (poll)

    In French une basse is feminine, because meow. Or should I say, miaou. In Spanish un bajo is masculine because es mas macho. In English you should ask you instrument its pronouns, politely and without intruding too much.

    Replacing tubes: no sound

    No I don't know them to be good, or bad. Good idea, I also have a guitar amp with preamp tubes, I'll try swapping tubes with it. Thanks. =)

    Replacing tubes: no sound

    Yeah that's why I even hesitated, it seems so unlikely to get 2 bad tubes. But I guess it's 2020 so... :D

    Replacing tubes: no sound

    This is the first time I've tried to replace tubes. They're the preamp tubes of a hybrid head (Mesa Mpulse 600). The original tubes (Mesa 12AX7-A) still work but I heard some scratchy noises, and some ringing, and I thought well maybe it's just time anyways to change them both and I'll be set...

    Wow. Are your periods synced yet or is this a solo flow?

    Drummers - ugh

    When he told you, 3 days before, did you have a “no, pal, you’re showing up otherwise you’re screwing us” speech followed by a “look show up or we’ll replace you” talk? If so ftd. Otherwise, as mentioned by others, just ftd as usual.

    Amp with digital volume control?

    Couldn't you do the same thing with pots? Like this bar is 3 and that bar is 8; or, this bar is 9 o'clock and this bar is 1 o'clock ? (Queue this one goes to 11 quotes... :D)

    I got my Xotic XJpro. OMG!!!

    I love the fact that this bass has a pickguard but no cover plate. The opposite of the classic cover plate only look when you remove the pickguard off a jazz.

    Hybrid vs Tube

    Mesa Boogie mpulse 600 does that. It has 2 12ax7 in the preamp and mosfets for power. Cousin of the aforementioned titan and bb750. Aguilar db also does that. Eden wt does NOT. Very surgical, pristine sound not gooey tubey goody at all.

    What to play when jamming

    Play the roots of each chord. Don't solo much at first but if you have to, learn A, E, D, G minor pentatonic scales and you're good to go for most jams that would have you. Have fun! You'll pick up the rest later.

    Seeking Advice - Female Bar Owner Behaving Badly

    Your son is experiencing what most women musicians experience daily. It’ll be ok. The guys need to learn to keep horny advances away without conflict, the girlfriends... are just at the beginning of their jealousy if the band continues to do well

    Familiar with this?

    More basses good, less basses bad. Boy/girl friends with good jobs really really help. Only they questions the number of basses. So don't show them all at once in the same place. If you run out of storiage space, behind the couch and on top of closets are good places for additional fly cases. I...

    G&L L-2000 Bass - Anyone finding it underwhelming?

    Ok so you want super clanky high end scooped modern metal sound. A cheap warwick rockbass will get you there right away. But you should be able to get that with an L2K too. Lighter gauge strings ?

    Favorite Bass lines NOT played on an actual bass with strings?

    Others already mentioned Stevie Wonder, Chameleon, and the P-Funk tunes already... so now those greats are said, and rightly so, there's the mysterious bass line to Berlin's Take My Breath Away... easy to play, but with a tone so huge and really hard to duplicate. Apparently some people think...

    Jack of Bass

    What's nice is knowing so little about playing cards or scale length, this shirt can be like the I Ching for you, an endless source of inspiration, each day offering new interpretations and eiphanies.

    Went off on a guitar player and I don't feel guilty

    Open mics are open to all, yelling at someone there is not the spirit of the thing. You went bananas its ok it happens just go apologize on the side the guy can hear from and forget about it.

    Is Markbass really all that??

    Ah maybe I did need to understand this knob after all then, could make sense. Thanks I'll try that (making sure this knob is all the way ccw) next time I use the MB.

    Is Markbass really all that??

    You're right I do not understand what vpf does. For that reason I have never used it. I have limited experience with Markbass, I played 2 pretty regularly but did not own either. I own an SWR hence the comparison. The one useful tone I have gotten out of Markbass is a scooped tone, which I got...
