simple

When choosing a bass, what do you prefer? Something that is simple and gives one or two very good sounds or something that has as many options as possible and is versatile? For an example of simplicity: a Precision. One pickup, a volume and a tone control. It doesn't get much simpler than that...

Hey everyone, hope you are all doing fine!? I have been considering an acoustic image combo for a while. But I ended up buying the PJB Bass Cub II BG-110, which has served me great for the past few years, when doing more traditional Jazz gig. Plus, it costed me around 650$ cad while the AI...

I was chatting with my partner and it came out that I have two rigs that are essentially the same. It is two stacks and then I have some smaller amps for practice and such. Well she suggested I should sell one stack. That I didn't really need two stacks that are almost exactly the same. The...

Sorry if this isn't the right place to post this. If it's not, please direct me to a more appropriate location. As the title says, I want a DAW That's more focused on recording and bring in tracks. Pretty much every DAW I've tried is loaded down with MIDI and beat making stuff and I'm just not...

Here is the progression. Eb-Bbsus4-Eb-Gm Wondering about what your approach would be to this. Just something simple that you could really feel inside your heart. (I'm only an intermediate) Also, I want you to know I am inspired every day by everyone at Berklee. You are what makes me believe in...

What are some basslines that are way too easy to play but still was an important part of a popular song ? I nominate this one:

(In your opinions) So, the role of the bass guitar is something that seems to be a debated topic. Obviously there isn't ONE SET ROLE for an instrument with as much range and versatility as the bass, but I'd like to hear TB's opinion on the role of their instrument. I'm most interested on what...

Hi. Hello. Yes, I'm a first-timer so my account is new but this question has been nagging me a bit. I'm a fairly "out there" player, I like to be up front and I practice hours upon hours every day. People love it, except a few other bass players. My friend has also caught crap for his 6 stringer...

So I posted a fairly active thread here a day or so ago. It got heated, and I admit that I made myself sound fairly arrogant, but it got me thinking. What's the deal with this traditional mindset that I personally feel is so incredibly self-defeating? Not even talking about my thread in...

Hello there. I'm an older fella, been playing for bout 30 years, started at 19. I go to a lot of events and whatnot and meet/jam with a lot of bassplayers. I just have to ask? What's the deal with the flashyness? All these younglings, and even people older than ME coming out with 6-stringed...

So, its not completely finished yet, but its up and running enough to play! So I'm going to give it a crash course at a 4th of July party tomorrow. I'll still make sure to have a backup, but I'm just jazzed to finally have this badboy in playing condition! …#neckdivefordays

I’m considering a new build and had an idea for the electronics, but wanted to see if it’s workable if anyone had done something similar. I’m going for simplicity; as simple and spare of a signal path as possible, passive. The pickups are going to be a P and MM, both as close to their sweet...
