the obvious answer to 'the best bass for polka' ??? SadowSKY

I haven't played bass since I was in 6th, 7th, 8th grade when I played in my older brothers band. As I recall, we usually had 4-5 gigs/month and I remember being nervous about performing live...but it wasn't anything I didn't overcome after a couple of tunes OR after my first 'solo'...

How can such an UGLY instrument produce such a killer sound? There...I finally got that thought off my chest. It's really bothering me! Some may consider me a "troll" for starting this thread...but seriously, I'm not trying to start a fan-club war. In fact, I think I've only posted a dozen...

My first NEW bass guitar was a Gibson EB-3. I'm thinking it was purchased in 1971. I recall it having dual Humbuckers with a 3-position tone switch. I played it for about 5 years and then quit playing so I could move on to girls, sports, and more girls (what a mistake). I gave the bass to my...

without a link, i think we're suppose to use our imagination......so here goes. if this bass could talk...it would be saying "why does this guy always play with me 'down low', and never touches my treaties up top" ??? it would say....."are you this bad or is that your foot on my neck" ...

wow, times have really changed. i can 'remember when' a musician would never think of buying before playing. i remember when music stores were real music stores. not the case any more. this is just amazing. i can see buying something unseen...if you have previously played another...

okay....if not "a divorce", how about....... talent?

what % of tb'ers are buying amps/cabs without ever auditioning/listening/touching/seeing/smelling/tasting (you get the idea) before purchasing??? with the P*** poor music stores in my area, it appears i may be one who buys 'in the dark'. i'm just curious what % of tb'ers do YOU thing are...

i've been a t b member for only a few months but the thought has occurred to me....what % of people on tb are buying a bass without ever playing it, seeing it, hearing it, smelling it.....nothing. i'm talking about choosing/buying a bass simply based on the words/pictures shown in this forum...

a divorce?

No experience here with Bongo's. Heck, I don't even own a bass (yet), but I am leaning toward buying an EBMM. Regardless, I do have a thought. I've been following this forum (basses) and the Amps section daily for the past month or so. Yes, I suppose it's possible you may be more attentive...

The shuttle 9.0 won't get me there yet the Streamliner 900 will??? Why?

i was curious as to the difference between the bergantino AE series vs. the HT. Yes, I have been tempted to do the 1-12 thing as it's cheaper and smaller. I guess I'm thinking that I like a large bottom end...you know, a thumper...and maybe the HT series gets me there. I was also curious...

Please give me the pros and cons of this rig for in-home, or potentially small gigs: Genz Benz Shuttle 9.0 Bergantino AE212 EBMM Stingray 5 Classic Describe the total experience (weaknesses / strengths). Good and bad! Who would benefit from this combination?

I've been reading about the differences in neck size, body, pup's, and electronics as it relates to the stingray 5 and sterling 5. I think I get it!!! However, I'm not reading alot about the difference in 'playability' . I agree that personal preference is most always going to be the...

i'm sure this question has been asked somewhere on tb...but, here goes. if we are to assume those who like ebmm stingray 5 prefer the 2eq (classic) better than the 3, it is because the 2eq sounds "warmer" and not like an "aluminum can" (or whatever), then WHY would ebmm fans like the STERLING...

babe, you ask great ?'s and i fully appreciate the reason for asking. however, i can't answer most of them. #1. i haven't owned (or played for that matter) any musical equipment for nearly 40 years so I have no experiences (good or bad, likes or dislikes) to share. #2. I don't think I could...

I'm thinking of buying a Genz Benz Shuttle 9.0 I'd like to pair it with either a Genz Neox-212t or a Bergantino AE212. I'm happy to save myself a few hundred bucks by going with the Genz Neox but am willing to consider the Berg if it seems I'd like it better. I wish I could walk in a store...

Thanks for ALL the suggestions/advice. It's interesting that the only other options I have looked at (prior to your suggestions) are those y'all have mentioned such as Gallien Krueger, Mesa Walkabout, Fusion, and Bergantino AE series. So, I must be doing something right. I have, however...

I'm taking it all in as y'all reply. As for the type of music, most likely classic rock, r/b, 60's-70's-80's. When I last played, it was mostly finger-style with the occasional use of pick. I look at some of the Genz amps and see what looks like WAY too many knobs for me. Maybe one day I'll...

Long time viewer, first time post. I'm a complete noob so I'm sorry, in advance, for my stupidity. I've tried reading all the Genz Benz threads to get my answer but I just don't understand the technical aspects enough to make sense of the information. So, I'm looking to keep it real simple...
