Don’t you just love it when people have their head square on their shoulders and feet firmly planted in reality?

I discovered TalkBass a couple of years ago when I was looking for a Genzler Magellan 800 (great amp!). I purchased it from the TB store. I eventually started clicking around and found the Classifieds section. As someone who was tired of the eBay and Reverb fees I was paying, not to mention all...

My menu of responses: To my friends: “It’s a stinky little bar band.” 2. To strangers: “We’re big in Hartford.” 3. To people at a club who want to know if tonight’s band is any good: “We suck, but here we are anyway. It’s a mystery to me, too.” :D

One of the first ever music videos. Watch the whole video.

What are some ways I can find people to play with? I’m in highschool and don’t really know anyone who plays any instruments. I’ve never jammed with anyone but really want to, I just don’t know how to go about it. Also I am immensely shy, especially when it come to playing music. I have a hard...

Wife and I have limited opportunities to go out together due to my work and gig schedules. One of our favorites is lunch then a movie on Monday afternoons. This past Monday we had lunch at our favorite burger place then went to an early matinee of the movie "Us". It's a kind of suspense/thriller...

I have played bass guitar in my church band for years. I usually either run through a small Ampeg BA-110 or direct into the house. The main problem I have with running through my practice amp is that changing the volume on the amp changes the volume sent to the house. Also, the tone sent to the...

Ok, this oughtta at least qualify for the weirdest question of the month, but after a cross-country move, I just found out in my shed, in a spare gig bag that was out there all winter, a new set of DR Blues I forgot I bought. So...I know we got down into single digits a couple times, and for my...

When you click on a user avatar, in the pop up, user message total is linked so you view all of a user's posts if you choose. When you click on People You Follow, for each TBr you follow that is listed, the user message total is not linked. I suggest the user message total in People You...

Right now I am pretty much playing Jam Band/Grateful Dead music exclusively , and am also playing more different groups than before as a fill in for other bass players. One thing I've noticed is that with some groups of people, there is little to no "struggling" with the songs. With others...

I know I'm asking for it here, especially with that title, so call this an "entertainment posting". No matter how small the percentage it could be .000000000000000000001 does the gene pool actually improve if dumb people die? I hear this all the time that when somebody dies who is doing...

Honestly. After deciding to use this I've had two offers. On one, they wanted to buy something 50 bucks under what I was offering (which is insane considering the price I had it at) and the other ignoring the "cash only, neutral location" and saying he'd be sending a check, once it clears he's...

I can fret just as fast on a p bass as a jazz? I feel like skinnier necks are actually slower for me

Most of you probably know this already. Here goes anyways. I was wondering if following TBrs was of any benefit as far as seeing their posts. Sure enough, their posts are displayed in Your News Feed. Wow, a cool way to see posts only from people you like, respect, love, post cool info or are...

Since there is "I just dont get it" artist thread, I thought why not ask it the other way around. I dont mean this as another "fav band list" but rather to list some artist(s) or hidden gems what in your opinion never got the exposure they mayde deserved. Mine would be: Kansas yea I know that...

Somebody had to ask. :thumbsup: Can't we all just get along? Hopefully some if you can see this thread. :-)

Quick poll to see what you do when you buy new.. First off, it's common ground for most manufacturers to offer a lifetime limited warranty, however that only gets you so far, if there is a manufacturer's defect or other failure. Not to mention, you don't get some of the perks that you pay...

I can be a hater too, @slobake! I don't want to see anyone messing up my nice unspoilt thread! People are the worst! Get off my lawn! !!!

This is really getting to be one of my biggest pet peeves, people who make noises when they play. One guitar player I know whom I actually like as a friend is so bad about this I cringe anymore whenever he asks me to jam...For solo cues he doesn't use hand gestures, instead he'll shout out "Yo...

Sorry if this in the wrong place, not my ad either. https://offerup.co/W1udTQz5aL Wish I could afford it

Accidentally posted in the wrong forum. Moved to Bassist forum... Brady Watt, just because.

I have been here on this planet circling the sun for 65 years now. I have made a LOT of mistakes, some that almost killed me and I have even learned from a few of them. I find myself in situations where people look up to me and seek wisdom. I don't know what to make of that. Part of me want so...

I know, not another one of these threads... I have 4 electrics: Fender jazz bass, fender p bass, sadowsky 5 string and sire 5 string fretless. The p bass is the odd man out because its clear when I choose the 5 string or fretless. When I need a fretless or when I need a 5 string. If I don't...

Everyone -- trying to get a feel for eReader page turning ease versus hard copy sheet music. I know hard copies are easier when there are two pages -- they just sit there facing you. no page turning is required. But when you have more than 2 pages, you have to flip both hard copy or eReaders...

So I cant be the only one biding my time on talkbass while at a SuperBowl party with zero interest in the game. Nothing really to say, but Thought it would be cool to see how many others are out there.

Looking for a teacher in the S.E. PA area. Mainly interested in brushing up on jazz stuff. Any suggestions?

The other day I was scrolling through a thread where a lot of people were pitching in to help a member, and I was looking at the likes to see what advice people agreed with most. It occurred to me that the OP didn't acknowledge any of the feedback with a like. I then realized that I don't...

Read that all the time here...

This subject seems important to chat about. I have views about learning that are standard fare in the teaching of other instruments. But electric bass education deviated away from teaching in the only validated way that provided everyone the skill to play their instrument for the reason that it...

Hi and a hopeful, forward and happy New Year to all! I've got one for the sages here. I have a Basic Black combo I use in tandem with a Basic 2-Way cab. I have always loved the sound of the Basic 350 head, and I suppose it has mostly to do with the preamp circuit. I also dig my combo set up...

In discussing live music here at Talkbass, and it’s apparent lack of support, it is oft said that the younger generation have little or no interest in live music, or in learning and performing on actual instruments. Care for the arrangements or not, I found these random examples of young people...

So here's a stupid question but one that is bothering me lately: There are a lot of people famous for things OTHER than music who are also known to play an instrument, like Albert Einstein and the violin or Bill Clinton and the saxophone. And yes, I know that Mike Huckabee plays (or tries to...

Im talking about people talking **** about Behringer for ripping of a pedal or amp and then turn around and rave about their clone they just got. I really don't see the difference. Except that you're ******** on the poorer musicians. I own behringer and joyo, as well as expensive clone...

It's weird. I've always found it weird. It's weird for basses, cars, ships and other inanimate objects. I just had to get that off my chest. Thank you
