Pickgaurds

Book smart bass playing vs street smart bass playing.

People get downright PISSED when you tell them music theory and/or sight reading is useful or not.

I didn’t learn much in two years of music theory other than the proper names for what I already knew street wise. That said, what it did for me was it gave me the ability to articulate concepts when working out musical issues with fellow players saving countless hours of trial and error.

The best bass for metal?

 

[JGbassman]

I forgot the old flats or rounds issue, but since many agree that by buying another bass you can have both, harmony was achieved. Also, would world peace ensue if I bought a jazz bass, p bass, stingray and ric and string half with flats and the other with rounds?

Left handed vs right handed.

Where the tone comes from.

That Jack on your bass. Input or output?

When DID Leo get it right?

 

[Buzz E]

Fender Rumble amps...and that dude who got the time out with a spankin'!

 

[HolmeBass]

Solid miss on tonewood. Or, "Does the wood used to make a solid body electric bass make much of a difference in the tone?"

 

[Watchootognbout]

Jaco only needed four strings.

 

[Bunk McNulty]

Art or Craft?

Self-expression or service?

 

[skwee]

I would say tonewood vs. pickup creates sound model on solid-body instruments.

 

[Old Garage-Bander]

Jaco only needed four strings.

No divisiveness on that. Move a long, move along.
