    Double Bass Bass player wedding

    Tomorrow I’m playing a wedding and the groom, a classically trained double bass player, plans to sit in for a tune. I’m debating whether to tune my bass down a half-step, in fifths, or just install gut strings and crank up the bridge adjusters. I want it to be a memorable experience for him. -...

    Sammy Kershaw - She Don't Know She's Beautiful - Bass Player?

    I've been listening to this old hit for Kershaw and still digging the bass line. It's a simple, direct country song and chord progression but he/she still manages to slip in some nice melodic phrases and turnarounds here and there. Anyone know who the bass player was on this track? Search...

    Bass Players are Their Own Worst Enemy!

    Bass players are their own worst enemy... I’ve played keys in touring/weekend warrior bands for years. From experience, I know keyboard players are not usually the focal point. Case in point. I’ve been called to sub, and sit in with bands I’ve never even practiced with. “Just come and play...

    Bass player you (we) may not know

    I've been thinking for a while on all those "hidden gems" you can find when you go outside your borders. There so many great artists that we don't get to know becuase they are not wide spread as they should. Even people that in their own country they are legends but they simply don't reach other...

    When did you realize that you were a bass player?

    I've been a guitar player most of my life, but four years ago I picked up a fretless american deluxe jazz bass since we needed a bass player to round out a new band, so I've pretty much just considered myself a guitar player that plays bass. However, in the past month I have found myself bored...

    Bass Player Gig question

    This is just a curiosity question. I just saw on Thatsmygig.com that there is a 4 month gig for a Bass Player on a Cruise Ship for a 4 month gig. It says it pays between 600-700 a week.

    New bass player for your '60's soul band and he shows up with this, recommendations...

    So, you need a new bass player for your current '60's soul cover band and are holding auditions. A bass player with good "chops" shows up with a good P sounding bass and a Dynaco MK111, 60 watt amp and a 2 x 15" JBL D140F Cabinet from away back then. What do you do or recommend?

    Bass Player Intelligence

    Earlier today, someone whom I had just met said "I heard people who play bass do so because they are not intelligent enough to handle 6 strings." I pulled out my Mensa Membership Card and ended the conversation without saying a word. It pissed me off but made me laugh at the same time.
