    Dealing with a "power trio"?

    So I'm most likely about to form a new band with some old bandmates. It's not for certain, but it seems likely that it's gonna be the three of us. It's basically my old band without the singer, the guitarist knows how to sing, I can sing (too shy atm) and the drummer. Here's my concern. I'm not...

    Favorite singer/bassist

    Not best this time! Best it too subjective!contextual, as we all know. Guitarists often steal the spotlight but we know so many great bassists have also been the front man/woman. So let's see who are your favorites. I'm willing to add names as the are suggested.

    Experienced users...

    Hi all, FNG here. I currently own a Cirrus bxp 4, and I'm experiencing a lot of frustration trying to figure out what is wrong with it. I had an incident a while back where I tried to plug my instrument cable into the input jack of the bass, and it got stuck about half way and wouldn't go in...

    To lock or not to lock... that is the question.

    I was recently in a conversation regarding the fundamental role of the bass player in a band and came across some differing opinions. As we all know, the bass is the bridge between the rhythm and the melody. But, as is to be expected, not everyone approaches it the same way. I hear more and...

    Elle King's Bassist

    Does anybody know who this guy is? He's the dude on the left in the attached photo. I went and saw Elle King perform at Stubb's in Austin last night. She did a fantastic job, and I was VERY impressed by her bassist. He just laid down some amazing thick grooves and looked absolutely effortless...

    Feedback wanted: Yet Another Bassist Playing Bach's Prelude

    A complete run-through in one take. It's fairly representative of how well (or poorly) I play this piece. Sometimes I make fewer mistakes, sometimes more. If I do a couple of takes, the best one will be better than this, but that's just probabilities at work. So I posted the first complete take...

    Favorite Bassist I’ve Never Heard Of

    Who are some of your favorite bassists that I’ve never heard of? Obscure, overlooked, niche, or new. This could be someone with a successful band that doesn’t have the recognition they deserve or maybe it’s your friend who plays in a local band. I’ll start: Johnathon Ford Ben Stidworthy...

    Metric's bassist

    A dancing bassist, playing...what bass?

    I've seen several of the dancing bass videos here, but don't remember seeing this one (my apologies if it's a repeat). The dancing commences at :26, with a new move at 1:43. Watch at 1:30 when the bass player really starts feeling it (or is that Paul in disguise, before losing a few pounds and...

    Where's Waldo? And/or the bassist?

    ~150M well deserved views, this is great. However, in my not all that humble opinion, this song is driven by 1) the vocal 2) the bass and 3) Santana. So how come the bassist is invisible ? Heck, even the drummer gets half a second.

    Is a bass player really necessary?

    I feel like you don't really need one. A guitar is only an octave higher and it can still cover a lot of the notes that a bass guitar does. Also, you could just use an eight-string guitar and tune the lowest string down to a low E. I know that some bands have eight string guitarists as well as...
