    Jacos Fretless Bass (Bass Of Doom)

    Hi all! Rather an odd one here but I feel I need to have a bit of a vent I suppose I could call it a rant but I don't think that would be correct, just my opinion but I want others to hear it. I know I will get people disagreeing with me probably more than people agree with me but here goes...

    Orange O Bass or Yamaha for a beginner?

    Hey all, I'm new here. I know basically nothing about bass (see: username refers to my decade drumming). I'm looking to buy a starter bass. I originally purchased an Ibanez TMB100, though it was backordered for a few months so I canceled it. I'm now deciding between a Yamaha TRBX174EW - which...

    Paying it Forward...OGD!

    Hey, y'all. Today I gave away a bass rig. Older, kinda beat on the corners, heavy, but loud as heck and moving air. Since it doesn't happen without pics here is a photo. Basically a 4X12 with 600W of iron ore. I have to say it felt really good to help out a kid from the neighborhood. So...

    Is anyone getting virus related cancellations?

    We're getting a little bit of push-back from clubs we used to gig at regularly. Has anyone (particularly in the Australian market) had any virus related cancellations?

    Planning on NBD despite general consensus

    I'm planning on getting an Epiphone eb-3, though I am aware of the inherent issues... Tonally and appearance wise it ticks the boxes. I plan on replacing the bridge and bridge pickup...hipshot bridge and Rickenbacker neck pickup respectively... Anything else to consider?

    General questions about Fretless conversions

    Hello all first post. I'm back in the bass fold after many years of switching to guitar. I have a German Hofner Beatle bass and a CIJ Mustang bass. I'm interested in a fretless, but I've only been playing shortscales, so my main focus has been buying another Mustang Bass probably the PJ and...

    Organization (in general), born with it, learn it, carrots?

    I'm a terrible person when it comes to organization. I leave stuff out, nothing really has it's place, it's not really a lazy thing as much as I forget about it if it's not in front of me (like bills) but then other things are in front of me and I just ignore them. For people that are...
