First off, Happy Easter to you guys. Second, that's a pretty cool easter gift! I had no idea they would release a new album. I'm pretty sure I'm not the only one who felt as if it was done. They did a really amazing job keeping it all under wraps. But it just keeps getting better. Odd time...

Judge them however you want. Looks, story behind it, resemblance to the music, whatever! My picks: Vapor Trails by Rush. I love this one. The colour, the font I could look at it forever! This is everything I think a metal album cover should be. It's larger than life, semi-realistic. Those...

I already saw the new video but some of the lyrics made me LOL.... The clip, which is from Smalls’ upcoming debut solo LP, Smalls Change (Meditations Upon Ageing), the bassist celebrates the life of a touring rocker – from backstage autograph sessions to groupie sex. “This one’s a virgin; this...

Hello fellow TB'ers! I just put out a free album of original music that I composed and performed. I'd call it "Progressive Rock" but "Rock" is just fine. It's a 6 song EP called "From 10 to 11" You can stream it at SoundCloud: Or you can stream/download it at BandCamp: Enjoy! --- Mods...

We all know the record business isn't what it used to be, most bands could not survive on record sales alone anymore. Which means, most bands have to spend a lot more time on the road touring to make a living, which for most means less time in the studio. Are you satisfied with the album...

Came across this while watching Namm videos on YouTube. Might be new Tool material.

I am asking the best forum that could possibly answer this nagging question : What is the bass Stanley Clarke is pictured with on the cover of his first solo album? I know he was closely associated with Alembic but frankly that looks as much like a Bartell/Hohner mutation as any Alembic. Most...

Jazz-fusion composer and drummer Bob Holz will be releasing his third album “VISIONS: Coast to Coast Connection,” featuring bass legend Stanley Clarke on February 23, 2018! “This collaboration with the jazz star and Return to Forever bassist/composer, Stanley Clarke involved the recording of...

Hello TB folks! I just released a new album and would love people to check it out. I write pretty dark music that pulls from jazz, post-rock, electronica, and soundtrack music. There's a lot of bass-centric stuff here, including the melody lines, chords, and a few tracks with multiple basses in...

Hi, folks! I'm trying to find a CD I owned in the 90s. I can't remember the name of the artist... or the album... or any of the songs. I just recall it included a couple of decent cuts and I kinda remember what the album cover looked like. Can you help refresh my memory? Here's what I...

Hello Everyone, A new Glassjaw album just dropped (Material control) and it's not too bad! What really stands out to me is the bass tone WOW! It was good in the past, but it's down right filthy on this record. I believe Travis Sykes is the bass player if I'm not mistaken. Anyone know what's on...

New Cheap Trick Christmas Album

Being a fretless player, and growing up in the 1980's in Australia, I was attracted to the playing styles and music of mostly UK players. Mick Karn (Japan), Pino Palladino (Gary Numan/Paul/Young etc), Paul Webb (Talk Talk), Robert Bell (The Blue Nile), Derek Forbes (Simple Minds) and the...

Hi Justin, So my girlfriend just played me some Wolf Alice playing live. I noticed the bassplayer with some stellar pbass and then a starfire sounds which initially made me wonder about who he might have been listening to . Then after listening and looking through the album notes my...

Just a bass-head PSA. I just picked up a new self-released Vulf album on their website. Got a Bootsy collab to boot. Anyways, disregard if it's been mentioned already. Great stuff!

I'm looking for a database of every jazz record released in the 50's and 60's. I know it's a big ask but does anyone know if anything like this exists online? I thought this would be relatively easy to find online, but I'm getting endless top 10 lists, and nothing substantial beyond that. I'm...

Yep, Chuck Cote is back in Florida, and the boys have been working on new material. A new album will be released in 2018, and I'll post links for anyone that is interested. This is their first full-length album since Max Q, but more recent singles are available on Bandcamp. As a player, I...

This was an old album art I made for my album : Self Intitled. The idea originated when I put a top hat on my beaver plush an put it on top of my amp.

Hi all. Just wondered if anyone has any ideas on the best course of action for this. We had a band member joined us about a year ago, the band was fairly newly formed, we only gigged once before they joined us. We played a couple more gigs and then she started saying she couldn't do some gigs...

Although they've slowly released a track a day over the past week I've been holding back for today so I can listen to it in its entirety. Tracks like "The scheme" cought my attention and enthusiasm for the band and the instrument immediately. Have you guys listened to the album yet? What do...

Awhile back, I was perusing through YouTube, and for reasons unknown, I typed in an old band's name (Mystery Box), that I used to be in, in the late 80's-early 90's. The band, at the time, drew some reasonable interest from a few big labels, and national acts coming thru West Virginia that we...

The Band was called "Caldera" (Time And Chance) and the Bassist was Gregg Lee Does anyone know what kind of bass he (you if you're reading this Gregg) used on this? Thank You

Love to hear everyone's thoughts about the new album. I'm loving it. Bassist Michael Shuman (aka Mikey Shoes) and drummer Jon Theodore are so locked in. Recommended, nothing ordinary about this album.

New Group in Jazz"? Really tasty playing but I can't find a link to the personnel on that album (other than LH&R themselves). Anyone here know?

Goose ^ also a live album on our bandcamp

I used to play in a band who had a member start recording a side project. They enlisted me to play bass on it. We had a few recording sessions and I got all of my parts done. I didn't receive or request payment. A few years have passed and I've since left the main band and have no contact with...
