Working on a solo bass album that might turn out to be an EP. I feel like i dont see enough solo bass music on YouTube so i wanna put a project out for people who are into that kind of thing. Does anyone search for solo bass music besides me ? I like to listen to isolated bass tracks and bass...

Are all bass players a bit jaded ? Or sad ? Or just lethargic towards society and life in general or is that just me ? I read a YouTube comment where someone said the bass is a sad instrument :roflmao::roflmao: Are they wrong ? What else would drive someone to be obsessed with such a gloomy...

The title says it all. Who is the guy that you think absolutely KILLS it that doesn't get the recognition of some of the top-shelf bassists that we're all accustomed to hearing about. I'll throw my hat in for Mike Gordon. His tone and technique is way over what he gets credit for. Who does it...

Does anyone else get highly offended when someone tells you how to play ? Its always People who dont play bass of course lol What if i said "Guitarist wanted, must be able to play with teeth" like Hendrix hahaha. Example- Reading an ad for "bassist wanted" and they have these demands of what...

Any jazz style basses besides fender ? I know ibanez makes the Gsr370 and the sr series but im just looking around. Please dont mention some 1500 dollar bass hahaha

Went to the music shop to have the action on my bass set which i had to do myself because nobody teaches their employees about bass guitars anymore or maybe they never did. Bassists always have it the hardest lol

How in the world could anybody find a mean thing to say about Leland Sklar? How could anybody who already watches his videos take the effort to post nasty comments to the music world's kind, humble bass grandpa? C'mon, TBers. Let's take a skinny minute to say "Thanks" to Leland Sklar, we're...

Does anyone else get incredibly anxious when shopping for a bass ? (Even online shopping) i just get online and look at basses and get so excited that it creates anxiety lmao. Like yea I have an anxiety disorder but still bahaha

Something fun to think about. Who's your drummer idol? Who would you dream of playing with? Who's your counter in the pocket? Who is the Swiss watch on the riser in your mind? Starting - Makaya McCraven - because Oh My God! How do you do that? Terry Bozzio - Because he has 6 arms? The...

Tons of bassists and tunes I was blown away by, over the last 50-years, but, one still sticks. The first time I heard Jimmy Fielder play Blood Sweat & Tears, Spinning Wheel, I was sold. ... His track is so up front in the mix and the middle eight is killer.

We all know and love the classic bass icons like Jamerson, Macca, Geddy Lee, Steve Harris, Jaco, Stanley Clark, Vic Wooten, Marcus Miller, Cliff Burton, Flea,...etc, the list could go on forever. I got to wondering, who are the new ones; ones who have made their rise in the last 10 years or so...

What a fun time he had this night! That guy yelling crakes me up. RIP Jaco. :unsure:

Does anybody wanna do a duo or duet track ? If you can get a decent recording i can mix and master it. All types musicians welcomed

On April 8, 1990, exactly thirty years ago, the first episode of Twin Peaks was aired, the legendary series by David Lynch that revolutionized television and the concept of television series itself. To pay homage to my favorite series, I decided to make this bass cover of the iconic theme played...

I’m really interested in hearing who your favourite blues bass player is. Bass players often get overlooked for the more famous guitarists or singers in Blues so it would be great if any one can come up with the lesser known ones as well. I am planning a bass video course with a mixture of...

Hi bassists! Harley Benton (paid 89 euros again) also for a completely closed tone, this time I wanted to venture an electronic Daft Punk song in which the beautiful bass line is actually performed with a synth. I tried to emulate the original sound as much as possible without using pedals or...

In case you thought of trying them They Cost about 30 dollars They look cool, they arent quite that platinum silver color you get with most strings, theyre silver and black. Thats the only way i can describe they way they look. They sound really bright, i mean even drop tuning sounds a lot...

Hello bassist, this is the first of a series of covers played with the new Harley Benton PB20 satin black, low costing 89 euros! As the first song, I chose a Maiden classic so that it can help to compare the sound of this bass with the typical Precision sound ... In the next few days I will...

A classic of the great White Duke played with my Tribe SF in split coil mode... enjoy!

I've been playing bass and guitar in bands for over 25 years. I auditioned as bassist for one of the classic rock bands I'm in now, got the spot and hit it off really well with the lead guitarist / BL. I played bass for over a year until one day when the guitar player invited me to jam with...

So I hope this doesn't come off as as conceited 'cause I am not a virtuoso by any means, but have you ever listened to a bassist in a band and think, "man, I would have made the same choices for those tracks". Well, I was listening to the EP below and felt just that. His style (mellow...

Hi guys, I made this demo where I try to demonstrate the versatility of a Tribe SF4 bass, a model inspired by the legendary Fender Jazz Aerodyne but with a series of upgrade that make it a much more versatile instrument. Hope you like it!

Sup! So, as you might be able to tell from my avatar, I'm a Transformers fan (and have been since what happened to be the second-ever aired episode ("More Than Meets The Eye, Part II") back in September of 1984. Naturally, being a TB member, I'm a bassist! However, like many kids, I had an...

Keeley Bassist Bought used in good shape in November of 2017. Has lived on my church pedalboard pretty much since, and actually just been left at church, so no gigging, and been in a smoke free environment. Our home is non-smoking, so would be good on that either way. Original box...

I left Youtube to playing in the background and it randomly played an old song by the French artist Francis Cabrel (1977). I had not listened to this song after I picked up the bass when I was 17. And I just realized how good the bass line is. Francis has had a big and long career in France so...

I was checking out this recent studio recording by the Pixies and noticed the bassist's Taurus pedals. A)Who is their bassist nowadays? 2) What songs does she use the pedals on, and what does she do with them? (a recording/video would be great)

I caught this on the radio today as I was driving home. Awesome! https://www.cbc.ca/radio/q/sheryl-crow-on-the-stories-behind-her-biggest-hits-and-why-her-latest-record-may-be-her-last-1.5265743
