    About the Squier James Johnston Jazz Bass

    For anyone who has this bass, is it good? Is it suitable to be played in a band or would other P bass be better? I've been deciding between this and the Inca silver

    Help me pick my next 5 string

    After trying a bunch of basses over the years, I have a pretty good idea of the features and specs I want. The problem is I don't know too many basses that have them. Without going custom, and staying under $2000 used, what would you suggest for me if my must-haves are: 17.5 - 18mm string...

    How did your choice of bass evolve with your playing?

    Did you start with a P bass and now play a 7 string because you learned how to tap? Or did you start with a 6 string Fodera and now you play a P bass cause it gets more gigs? Interested to know. Personally I started with 4 string actives, and have gone full passive cause I disliked dealing...

    Sir Paul's Bass Of Choice

    Does anyone know what bass Paul McCartney used on the song "Goodnight Tonight?" It's a unique/funky tone. I was thinking it might be his Ric w/flats. But it sounds a bit different than his regular Wings era Ric tone. It also sounds like 2 bass parts. It's tough to find definitive info about...
