    Do I play guitar and mix like a bass player ?

    Salut all Out of curiosity : Do I play guitar like a bass player ? Do I mix the song like a bass player ? Do I play bass like a guitar player ?! Do I sing like a no singer ? ( answer is yes but you know ) Can we hear the bass is my favorite instrument when listening to the song ? Maybe can...

    Believe it or not! (Bass Video)

    My band actually let me have a bass solo on our new tune! Granted it doesn't resemble a traditional bass sound in any way. I've actually gotten a few messages asking how our guitarist got that sound :ninja: makes me wonder if I'm playing bass or if I'm playing guitar on a bass :whistle: Let me...

    Best bass for low end results in indie rock band

    Hi guys I have been playing for 25 years now and I was always used to ROCK/PUNK and METAL. I have a ltd b-304 and a Musicman Sterling Ray 34. Both are really high and mid oriented so that fits perfectly for the style. However I have joined another project which is Indie Rock and that doesn't...

    My band's new record just came out... I like it.

    So we finally released this record. We spent a lot of time arranging and rearranging every song until it sounded the way we wanted. In the end I think it sounds like something in between 70s/80s disco and 60s/70s rock. Don't know why, some songs remind me of the sound of things like The Band...

    Request Aloha - Ferocious Love

    Hi, I would like to see what is going on in this song. Especially the little bass run thing it does unexpectedly and throughout the song. I prefer to read notation, but if that is too much trouble tab is fine. Thanks, Joe

    Another "Name my Band" Thread: Vote Please!

    Hello TB family, I'm in a new band, and we are going nuts with the name thing. We've gone through at least a hundred possible names at this point, but nothing has stuck. We can come up with them, and I've loved quite a few of them, but we can't seem to find one that all three of us are really...

    Are Expensive Basses Necessary?

    I'm asking this because I wanted to know if there are any reasons to spend more than what I already have on a bass. (Currently own a Yamaha TRBX 505, was around £550 at the time). What I wanted to get out of it was a modern bass sound which is used widely throughout most types of music (I always...

    Indie Rock - Los Angeles (Echo Park)

    Hey guys, We're an LA based band called Water District, and we're in need of a bass player. We have a solid foundation around Southern California, and we need the right guy to keep the momentum going in our favor.

    Alt indie bassist - NYC

    Hey all, I'm losing my mind on Craigslist, thought this might be a more productive avenue. Heck, it'll be a step just to hear from a 'bassist' that actually owns a bass :) I'm recently arrived from the England and getting a band together, I have plenty of lyrics/melodies that are just waiting...

    Effects suggestions for indie pop/rock?

    So for the past year or so I've been the bassist for a four piece band (bass drums two guitars) and we started out as sort of a bluesy pop rock but have since honed our sound to a more indie pop/rock, using some synth and drum pad occasionally. I'm looking for effects that can help me get a...

    How do I get a tone like Mariko Doi (Yuck)?

    I love the growl of the low end in this song with a warm and almost nasal tone with lots of treble (best demonstrated at 2:40). How would I set about achieving a tone similar to this? It sounds a lot to me like a drive pedal used very subtly, but I can't seem to get this with either of my two...

    Writing Dark Sounding Indie Basslines

    Hi everyone. For the past year I've had immense trouble writing music that I am proud of. I don't know what it is. I'm not calling it writers block just because its been going on for so much longer than writers block has ever gone on for me. The stuff I want to write is the fast but dark and...
