    Why is there no Sid Vicious Signature Bass? I'm gassing for one so hard

    Sid did not play on the album, Steve Jones did but... ...while Steve may have played the basslines on that record, the vast majority of them were written by Glen Matlock, who also had a prominent part in writing a lot of Sex Pistols songs. It's sad that Sid's antics overshadow Glen's part in...

    LTD b-205 freebie refin

    It was in great shape and fully functional sans a few scratches before he started taking the paint off the front, Idk what the story is on how it got to the garbage. I would figure someone who was angry with the owner would have burnt it or sold it so it was odd to find in good shape, normally...

    LTD b-205 freebie refin

    It really is a great bass. The active EQ it comes with is a good EMG one, but I just don't feel like keeping up with batteries (mine is the older model without the seperate battery compartment). Having two pickups and possibly a series/parallel or coil split would be plenty versatile for my...

    LTD b-205 freebie refin

    I didn't even consider a series/parallel switch, that's a good idea. After more reading I've found the HZ's can be split so that would be useful also.

    LTD b-205 freebie refin

    I've had this fiver for a couple years now, and it's been in need of a refinish since I got it. My buddy (who's a garbageman) found it in the trash at work and was going to refinish it for a buyer but the sale fell through so he just gave it to me instead. The only real issue was that he had...

    Is there a fender jag stang bass?

    Sorry to be so late on the response, but the person who built the Jag-Stang bass (punkacc9) is a close friend of mine and the drummer and singer in our band. Being a bassist I was consulted during the build and currently gig the beast off/on with my #1 (a p-bass of course). If anyone has any...

    My Band's EP! Please listen and give feedback!

    Awesome stuff Wannaflea! The singer's good, just not my style. Bass is way too far back in my opinion, even when I was a guitar player I always prefered to mix bass heavy. If you're ever looking for a remix or for someone to mix any new stuff, pm me and we'll figure out how to transfer the...

    Why so many fat bass players?

    I'm just like you, at my checkup the doctor said I'm in excellent health, I'm just overweight (300lbs). My grandmother at her heaviest was 400lbs at 72, and is now losing weight. She's always been big and didn't have any problems until she got to 66. Longevity runs on both sides of my family...

    Best Big Muff Pi variant for bass.

    I like the plain, new production USA, (volume 10-12 'o clock, tone 12, gain at 9) but the most useful mod I'd say you should add would be a mid/body control to work with the normal tone control to vary the scoop

    How can I cop a cello-like tone on electric bass?

    I use left-hand tapped notes using the bridge pickup, volume control swells, and a plain current production USA big muff and it works amazingly.

    Famous Bands You Opened Up/Played For

    My band opened for Badfish a few months back. At the time, we were a trio consisting of me (on guitar/vocals) our other guitarist and the drummer (who I share lead vocals with) There was not, nor at the time was there a desire to have, a bassist :hiding: As the (mostly) rhythm guitarist and...

    Band Crashed Our Bar Gig with Owner's OK - What the Eff?!

    Also being from PA, this sounds an awful lot like a certain venue with a name pertaining to crocodiles, rock, and a cafe in a city of some guy named Allen's town. Is that clear or should I be clearer?

    Confession Time: Admit How You Are Different From The Bass Player Norm

    - I prefer cheapy-passive basses (like a lot of people) - I use my tone control to alter my tone instead of messing with my amp - I actually like using stompboxes with bass :hiding: for adding a bit of extra tone variation and boosting for groovin' parts to out-loud the guitarist, and I...
