Not best this time! Best it too subjective!contextual, as we all know. Guitarists often steal the spotlight but we know so many great bassists have also been the front man/woman. So let's see who are your favorites. I'm willing to add names as the are suggested.
I'm looking for a solo to transcribe for an upcoming assessment. In the past, I've done some Ron Carter solos, which are always great fun, but I want to...diversify...for lack of a better term. I've always like Ray's tone, and I love his walking lines, but I haven't heard much of his soloing in...
Hey JMJ, my rig is moving into the world of racks and was wondering if you had a preferred system for your live switching needs. I might be wrong but you used voodoo labs stuff for NIN no? If so, has there been a new system that you've been enjoying?
currently my pedals are moving to drawers in...
Judge them however you want. Looks, story behind it, resemblance to the music, whatever!
My picks:
Vapor Trails by Rush. I love this one. The colour, the font I could look at it forever!
This is everything I think a metal album cover should be. It's larger than life, semi-realistic. Those...
Pretty much as the title says.
Let us know the genre of music that you dabble in with that pedal.
I haven’t found mine yet and interested to hear the responses!
After reading all the feedback that i got in my last post, i've decided to narrow it down to Vintage Style Jazz Basses.
It doesn't have to be a Carbon Copy of an old J, it just has to sound like it.
I've listed some of the most popular suggestions and most well known luthier's, but feel free to...

Hi guys, fun topic, apart from celebrity appearances (Though I will accept artists playing a fictional character), who is your favourite fictional bassist from a film of TV show?
Could it be video game loving superhero Scott Pilgrim, or could it be every rockers dream girl, Cassandra from the...

I just picked up a DL1608 and am working through the documentation and on-line stuff to get to know this thing. I'm really liking this mixer - having come from both Presonus SL and Behringers X series ecosystems.
I've found a bunch of really good stuff on YT but I'm interested in learning the...
I was wondering what everyone's favorite bass solos are? A solo that you listened to over and over in amazement. (I know it's really hard to narrow it down!)
I like Jaco's solo on "Havona." In terms of melody, composition, and feeling, I think it's amazing. It sings.
I also remember hearing...
Like it says in the title. If you feel like adding accompanying information, so much the better.
Here are a few of mine:
The A39 Tortoise Heavy Assault Tank
the pic doesn't really show how big it is in real life... at a lean 78 long tons it's a monster.

A few weekends off from gigging and I'm sitting here composing "riffs" in hope that they might inspire a song or perchance some lyrics.
In that vein, who are your favourite poets? I'll go first:
William Carlos Williams.
And by that I don't mean models like 'Fender P Bass' and 'Musicman Stingray', I mean individual basses, be they yours or someone else's. I'll start off...
Krist Novoselic's 1974 Natural Gibson Ripper
I'm not completely sure, but this might've been the bass used to record the standard-tuning...
On Arctic Monkeys' second album, FWN, Nick O'Malley is using a drive of some sort heard mainly on Brianstorm and This House Is A Circus. Does anyone know what it is, as I'm unsure about his effects. I'm fairly sure the effects we've come to know (Bass Big Muff, Woolly Mammoth Fuzz, Truck Loud...
I have just bought one of these but before I start tinkering with it I wondered what settings other users have found useful.
The volume seems insane and I can barely put it above 9 O'clock.
Please bear in mind that this is a 'favourite' thread, not a 'best' thread. I think we all know that a certain Mr Harris would win.
Here are some examples:
Steve 'Arry' Harris of Iron Maiden, a warrior of metal
Colin Kimberley of Diamond Head, with his half-pickguarded P bass
Steve 'Dobby'...
Before I say anything, just watch this video. (Especially from 3:45-5:04)
Incredible playing, insanely cool axe, unique tone. What more can I say except 'why did he have to die whilst people like the ISIS leader are still alive?'
