thanks for the replies guys :)

Hey I've been getting some real GAS for a new bass, but the one thing I have learned from the talkbass community is to always try out a bass before you buy it. With that being said, does anyone know of a guitar dealer near Buffalo, NY that would have the less popular brands to try out...

Hello! I am ambidextrous, as well, I play bass ambidextrously. . :hiding: I kind of had a thread going from like ~8 months ago, heres the link for reference: http://www.talkbass.com/forum/showthread.php?p=8869320#post8869320 If you really want to play both left handed and right...

What if i play right handed and left handed? :ninja: Or am i the only one out there who does? :hiding:

*UPDATE* So I'm just going to make a quick update. Its been a while now, and I can pretty much play both right handed and left handed at the same skill level. Its pretty much the same. Its amazing :hyper: the only thing right now is that, while playing lefthanded, my left hand gets...

Thanks! i guess i'll have to just mess around and try different stuff too

Hey everyone, I'm just wondering what settings my amp should be at to avoid distorting my bass's natural tone. I have a hofner at the moment. when i plug it into my yamaha clavinova it has the nice natural hofner thump. side note, i have an acoustic b20 ~thanks for answering a nub...

Im wondering the same thing, so I will be watching this thread for an answer :)

May i join?! I started piano when i was 5, and picked up a bass at 15. I'm 16 now, and playing bass was one of my best decisions ever. I was at guitar center a couple weeks ago, and i ran into a very kind, older gentleman playing a bass there. We got into conversation, and after we went...

Me too! It took alot of practice though.. We're you born like that? :ninja: or did you practice alot too haha

if this is an oil joke, then: LMAO! if its not, then: carry on.. nothing to see here

maybe if I keep saving i can actually maybe one day possible perhaps get a rick, too.. i can see it now.. a left handed fireglo 4003 in my living room.. ;)

Heh, the church usually just has an organist who plays the masses, the contemporary group is "semi-new" (new being maybe two years old, one year of which was just a piano)

see this is what i was looking for :hyper: thanks so much, and thanks to everyone else for putting up with my questions hehe

well i don't really have a "sound guy." we really just use amps to get our sound across, but like i said, the amps can't be perfect due to location. It was just at the last practice that i wondered if we could plug our guitars into the same system that the church microphones went through...

Wont I be able to hear myself over the speaker system? or just so i can hear myself better

okay, so lets try again :D would this one work?: Bass => http://bass-guitars.musiciansfriend.com/product/Tech-21-SansAmp-Bass-Driver-DI?sku=480206&src=3WFRWXX&ZYXSEM=0&CAWELAID=26039607&CJAID=10451188&CJPID=3353204 => mixer with all guitars => big pa mixer console => speakers in church ...

Hmmm.. Okay, lets see if im getting any of this ;) I could get a setup to go something like this: Bass ==> Invalid Link Removed ==> mixer with all our guitars in it ==> big PA system mixer ==> speakers thanks for all the help so far, by the way

do you have any specific ones to recommend? passive?active?

So I've been playing bass for my church for about six months now. I purchased an Acoustic B20 Amp which is very convenient for travel and can get pretty loud despite its size. However, no matter how big or small the amp is, we've been having problems. Like its either to loud so every one...

*UPDATE* So I went online and bought an inexpensive left handed bass, (an SX to be specific), and I've been playing it for about three months. As of now, fretting with my right hand feels pretty normal (compared to the awkwardness of when I first picked it up). However, strumming the...

Adry Saraf Hofners, rickenbackers Of course this guy would never be here without the REAL GUY paul is my real inspiration :smug: but Adry really is a phenomenal talent...

Can you send me a private message as to how you mod'ed the switches. Just wondering if you painted them or installed an authentic control panel. Thanks :)

well i want a rickenbacker, so to me its the most desired :)

will this fit a contemporary easily? Invalid Link Removed

Alright, I'll be looking around for a cheap left handed bass (but still one that has some quality to it. We'll see how it goes :cool:

I suppose there is no good reason other than curiosity and bordem :smug: My old old teacher used to give us exercises to do before taking a test that helped to connect the left and right hemispheres of your brain which helped you to think quicker and put two and two together to equal five...

So I am right handed. Always played bass right handed and wrote using my right hand. However, a few months ago I was in class with nothing to do after finishing a test, and i began writing with my left hand. I decided that in my free time in classes I would practice using my left hand...

I agree. I started off playing piano and as a young child would always get nervous at recitals and what not. But once I started playing bass and got into gigs with a band, i felt that the stage fright went away because there were other people on stage with you. Plus, doing it as often as...

Sounds good! thanks a billion :)

Yeah, i was looking into that, but it says they won't fit the Icon series, so im not sure i want to spend the money to try and make them fit if they wont :hmm:

Thanks for the feedback. Im interested in one, and if it turns out to be really bad, the price makes me not care as much:smug: anyone else?

Are these any good? I've read online that they are pieces of crap, but I was just wondering if any of you could say anything positive about them. heres a picture i found quickly in a google search: [Invalid or Expired Link Removed]

i've had a set of labella flats for about a year now. they sounded good right out of the package for me, and got even smoother as i used them and stretched em out.. just my experience anyway...

well i was just assuring my self that that was, indeed, a bad idea :crying: :hiding: :help:

here is a picture, if it helps at all the switches have a texture like wood but I'm pretty sure they're just plastic.. if that makes any sense at all..

Yeah, i googled that as well for my first step, very helpful, but i always prefer the touch of a forum and the debates of actual people, especially a forum that is based around guitars :smug: on a side note, a brother of mine used to be into the Warhammer minatures and he has a paint he used...

I appreciate the advice, but i consider this forum part of my research :)

I have tea cup knobs on my guitar.. im not painting any knobs, just the switches.. please read before you make sarcastic remarks
