    I Learned Better When I Had No Money (& No Internet)

    So, I have been doing some remedial exercises recently and having more trouble with them than I really should be for a player of my age and experience. It got me thinking; I used to pick things up so much quicker when I was younger. I think this is in part to not having as many distractions such...

    Necks Shimmed by the Factory? WTH?

    I just read that Ibanez uses neck join shims in the manufacturing of some basses. Is this really a thing? When I buy a new bass, certainly anything approaching or exceeding a thousand USD, I expect it to be designed and built well enough to not need a shim from the factory! Trust me, I am not...

    I shoot the free jazz concerts held in my town and have found that at a 1/250-1/320th shutter speed you can record string vibsrations on the bass instruments. This one really shows the pattern along the string length very clearly.
