If I'm honest, this sounds like a perfectly fine band, it has it all.. -mother with so many records ties she's practically Rick Rubin, -child prodigy with autism tearing up guitar, -brother, comparable to THE SIR PAUL McCartney in song writing, -eligible and smoking hot girl singer who is...

I can relate 100%. Being a fairly minimal person, having one bass is awesome. I find if I practice a lot, and realize what I don't know, I feel almost silly for wanting another bass. Having one bass allows me to just sit and practice, no tone messing around.. no one cares so long as its not...

I own a single p bass and its slung with chromes.

My local three shops all carry fender, gibson, musicman, ibanenz, yamaha, godin and some lower end warwicks. Everything else is just too far to drive for some bass testing, especially for a humble p player.

I would name one a ladys name, like "anne".. but I run the risk of calling it that for years.. then meeting/jamming with someone named "anne".. then anne: "sounded great tonight, whats that bass?" me: "I call her anne" then looking like a complete stalker

His reviews and books are absolutely top notch, can't say enough great things. A big thanks Ed!

I would say it has to do a lot with confidence.. I know some great players that seem to consciously or not restrain themselves.. while others that just go for what sounds good to them regardless of what it is. You have to know who you are and have the confidence to say, "this is what I'm...

Without security guards I'd be dead hundreds of times..

My eyes say I can never own a maple board, just plain don't like it.

been there about a year ago, I say do it for sure. I suggest experimenting at practice and see what sounds good with the band, sometimes what sounds good solo doesn't go over very well with a full band. Also, IMO, its better to have a very simple bassline that hits the roots but has a nice...

I couldn't possibly agree less. I doubt the man interested in your bass has made a ranting post on his respective forum.

A used bass and a new amp are a good way to go IMO. Many potential issues with a bass are easy to spot and easier to fix.. meaning a used one can be a great way to go. A used amp may sound and play great, then break the next day.. difficult for a DIY'er to fix alone and has some...

I think you will find showing everybody respect regardless of the accomplishments attached to their name will make life much easier for you.

Not trying to oversimplify, just trying to help someone without getting them more confused then when they started. *I figured it would be best to let him know they are related and the same notes, that is all. I have seen many web pages dedicated to this topic and don't think its necessary for...

Its Eb major, not minor.

The Eb major scale is literally the EXACT scale as C minor, they are related. C Minor = C - D - Eb - F - G - Ab - Bb - C Eb Major = Eb - F - G - Ab - Bb - C - D - Eb Same scale notes, starting on a different note!

Not sure exactly what your asking, do you mean like, Eb major has the same notes at C minor scales? * like C is the relative minor to Eb major and the scale notes are the same, so your playing the same notes in both scales and getting confused? *

I use 105s on my p bass and I can't imagine anything else. I played the lighter gauges in the store but went with the 105s. They didn't feel THAT much different, however, I have never had fatigue or hand soreness from playing hours on end so ymmv.

I bought the whole play-along series, I cannot possibly imagine replacing it with another teaching material. Like someone said, its not scary complicated stuff, but Scott is a great teacher and presents it in a way that is unique. I can't recommend it enough, has helped me lots! Big...

Can you do it? Of course, you'd be foolish to listen to anyone who says you can't do something for any reason. You won't be the first band being headed by a younger than 20s guy and you won't be the last. Your already making some of your own money, thats the first step. As someone who...

I only have one bass, its a p. Its always the one I play out, practice on, jam on and play acoustically around the house on. When I'm tired of the p tone, I mess my amp settings up to sound awful. I then play for awhile.. after a few days of this awful tone, the p sounds awesome again!

Kid Charlemagne!!!

There are a lot of different styles of jazz to consider. However, Steely Dan is sort of a rock progressions meet jazz harmony type of band. Check out the album Aja and Gaucho.

Really cool. I've been wanting to build a parts bass for some time now. Does it play as badass as it looks?!

I once had a 1x12 87 jub that was the sweetest sound id ever heard edit* And Im sure this is no exception!

Learning to hear the intervals of a melody has helped me a lot!

Honestly, many answers people give here are childish (dump his ass) or passive aggressive (stop playing or messing with his stuff). Assuming your both adults, try talking to each other. This will take you much further in almost every possible situation

Its nice to hear stories like this, makes me feel a lot better about buying online.

How long are they?

That ad just killed me with laughter

I think it sounds pretty good. My wife said "this is much better than your normal bass forum crap" ***edit*** Forgot to mention I totally dig the song rats

I'm into some C. Mingus right now.. got a cd set a few weeks ago and it keeps getting better.

I believe that was a Johnny Cash favourite line too.

This is what I do.. works fine for me. You double middle guys are insane I meant to place this into the thread that I linked to this from about the same thing.

I like chromes, but am currently really considered some half wounds/ground wounds.

I've always loved the look of jazz-basses without a pick guard!

Wait a second?! you guys have salaries and jobs?! How are you on here as much as me!?

I bet the "buying my first bass" OP is shocked that a seemly standard question yielded this thread, lol. IF I were you, I'd get the squier. That way after a year or two of playing when you decide that " damn, I love the MM, jazz, ric, etc " its not a big deal. And if you don't come to...

I've been interested in these. How many hours of play you get out of the batteries?

My opinion 1. make sure other finances are 100% in place 2. if you're ready, get that girl a ring 3. upgrade your amp 4. used high quality bass
