    Who's an old, woodsy, folk singin', solo, front porch bassist I can idolize?

    As much as I admire Jaco, Victor, James, and Carol just like we all do, I can't really idolize them because I know I'm never going to play like them. Not just in skill level, but it's not the style of music I want to play. I was a bass singer long before I considered playing the bass guitar (I...

    What song writing tools can a bassist use for writing and recording original material

    Although this is not specifically about receording gear, i figured it is related when it comes to recording ideas for songs.

    Backing band bassists you like

    Bassist playing classical guitar

    Ive played bass for over 4 years now and am two semesters of college in getting classical guitar lessons. Which means i need to keep my fingernails to a certain length. To be honest i think the tone with the fingernails is way better than without on the bass.
