sharing

Guys, I got a call from our singer asking (letting me know) that she's allowing a couple of her friends to sit in and play a couple of songs at a local club. The club is basically a community space. I'm just curious, as I'm a bit crusty and don't like anyone else sweaty paws playing my basses...

I would never class myself as a luthier but have recently completed a 15 month electric upright bass design and build and have quite a lot of material and lessons that might be of value to members. Would Luthiers be the correct forum or would the EUB forum be more appropriate? Thoughts?

First of all, I really don't know what to call this genre, for lack of a better description I refer to it as Swamp Rock - and it certainly has blues and classic rock vibes. Anyway, I have been enjoying both of the bands in the examples below, and love to hear of other bands with the same vibe...

I was told to share some photos and such of my gig from two days ago. All I can say is that playing in a stadium was by far the pinnacle of my playing career. It was entirely fun despite the pure fear of the whole being in the back until you're just about to go on. Just while doing the sound...

Merry Christmas to all Talk Bassers! (Happy Channukah and blessings on Kwaanza, and any other way you spend the holidays)

This bass was an MIM standard 5 that my grandmother bought for me in 1999 as a high school graduation present. The original bass was a metallic burgundy color with a rosewood board and white pick guard. It was sitting around for years with a broken neck and I finally decided to bring it back to...

Hey all, I just wanted to know if anyone has been making it a regular practice to charge a promoter an extra fee on top of your regular performance rate to supply a shared backline for the night when none is provided (or discount an inflated fee)? We're a small weekend warrior metal band with...

Hello TB world. I recorded a piece of music today that I am going to just place hear for your enjoyment or hatred. See Ive learned something over the years, the kind of music I record people either like love or hate. I record noise music thus it follows no or very little theory as I find...

Hi Could people please share their models for sharing band payments? I am looking at how to share payments once received - not how to get money from an club owner. My particular example is a 3-piece (singer/guitarist, bassist and drummer) but it doesn't have to be my example. Cheers

I've mentioned this in a few threads hereabouts in the last few months, and it's time for general release. ZoomLib v1.0.1 is now available for Windows and MacOS. If you have a Zoom effects pedal with a USB port, you can back up your patches, share them online and keep a HUGE repository of them...

What do you think? I went past a cemetery today and saw one close to the road, and thought "not sure I would want that." Don't know why, it just seemed odd. My dad passed away in '09 so mom is a widow. They purchased a plot and a couples headstone before dad died, so her spot is already there...

I've only recently started getting into Janeks work especially in terms of education and getting the most out of licks. I found a mess of old issues of the British "Bass Guitar" magazines with his columns that I've been working through and thought I'd share an idea I stumbled across. In one of...

Since I gathered much of the information I applied towards upgrading my 2004 MIM Fender Jazz bass from these forums, I thought that I would share my experiences here. Last year I made the move from guitar to bass and purchased a used, wine red 2004 MIM Fender Jazz bass that was completely stock...

Hey folks. I just discovered this site, so please excuse me if it's been mentioned, or if it's old hat. There's this site called "Clyp" where you can record a sample directly to your phone or computer and upload it to share, or upload a preexisting sound sample from your phone or computer. You...
