    Double Bass Gentle (but not too gentle) Into That Good Night: Aging gracefully as a jazz bassist

    This post by @Eric Hochberg in another thread got me thinking about this issue again, and I thought it might make an interesting thread topic: I wrote an article a few years ago about aging gracefully as a bassist, and I think it will be the first of several. As I think about the next...

    Wombats bassist Tord Knudsen

    Preamble: I’m a middle aged bassist, kinda set in my musical tastes. My teenager introduced me to this band and said “you might like these guys. The bass player sounds really good.” Not the most technical playing, but he does the driving rock lines really well under some pretty thick pop...

    The Bassist On Marvin Gaye's 'The Last Concert Tour' ?

    Does anyone know who the bassist on Marvin Gaye's 'The Last Concert Tour' is? If you've heard this album you know that the recording itself - the sound quality - is not very good. Saying it's mediocre is being kind. I've heard Grateful Dead bootlegs done from the audience by, uh, enthusiastic...

    NPD... Keeley Bassist Limiting Amp/Compressor

    Spent about 15 minutes with it to wrap my head around it and it does exactly what I want it to do... Which is help control my dynamics without changing my tone. It's so transparent that I can't tell the difference between on and off. Love it.

    I guess the bassist CAN affect the whole style of the band.

    I recently watched a Doors documentary and keyboardist Ray Manzarek said that at one point they auditioned bassists for the group, and that one of them made them sound like the Animals, and another one made them sound too much like the Stones. I thought this was interesting for those casual...

    Who was the first bassist to use a plectrum?

    So I was thinking last night about a subject that I personally never came across on Talk Bass and figured I would throw it out there. Who was the first bassist to use a plectrum?

    Guitarist turned bassist here

    I've played guitar since the 70s but I've always had a bass to add basslines to recordings. I've also played bass in a few bands. I always considered myself a guitarist, though. Lately I have decided to just focus on being a bass player since nobody needs guitar players and I have found out...

    Are you a gigging bassist?

    So yet another band I'm in has split after about 6 months and I'm starting to question if going through all the hassle of being in a working band is worth the trouble. Maybe my time would be better spent attending jam sessions and brushing up on my chops.

    Double Bass Brian Bromberg-Amazing Bassist with Awesome Tone!

    I do not play upright bass but I love listening to those who play it. Brian Bromberg of one of a handful of virtuosos on both electric and upright bass in my humble opinion. His upright bass tone is amazing to my ears!
