    Jam etiquette bass beat

    Hi all....I'm new to playing music and in group settings. I bought a used upright bass, my first instrument ever, just before Covid hit hoping to learn it for when bluegrass festivals returned. My husband, who plays mandolin and guitar, offered to host weekly jams at our home. I was hesitant to...

    How do you work on Timing?

    Hello everybody, I did a quick search and didn't found other threads on this topic or maybe I'm not using the right word/definition. During the lockdown and social distancing periods my band didn't rehearsed at all, so my keyboard player and I went to record some covers. Talking about timing, to...

    So...Has anyone here actually beat GAS?

    Hello, my name is Joe and I’m a GASoholic...I no longer can clearly say how many basses I have without having to stop and think. It’s over 15 but less than 20, I think. Have any of you fine readers actually made it back to the the ranks of only 1 or 2 bass ownership after “collecting” 10 plus...

    Double Bass When to play chords in 3/4 time

    If I'm playing chords with two notes on a DB, and I am playing along with a song that is 3/4 time, (see picture as example...) 1. Do I just play the first note of the chord at the beginning of the measure (since there are 3 beats) as in example 1 (G, G7, C)? 2. I sometimes see chord markings...

    I beat GAS and paid off almost $57k in debt over 2 years...

    Title pretty much says it all. Didnt succumb to GAS, and crushed the remaining $42k in student loan debt I had and $15k in credit card debt in a little over 2 years. I ended up selling a bunch of gear I had acquired over the years...had a '76 P, about 15 guitars and several vintage Fender tube...

    Beat to Cr@p Stingray, Upgraded (with pics)...

    So I found this awesome player a few months back. She's beat to hell with some serious finish checking (looks like the finish shrunk and cracked), but plays sooooo good. Best neck that I've had on a ray. But I always felt that the electronics were lacking. So I decided to upgrade her. Got an...

    Beat to Death Songs That You Still Love to Play

    Inspired by this thread: Songs you'd rather not. What songs are absolutely beat to death, that everyone else dreads when they have to play them, but you still love it? For me, it’s any Motown or Stax hit. Yes, Mustang Sally included. I still genuinely enjoy that stuff. Others for me would be...

    Best way to get rid of a beat up large cab?

    I had always wanted one of those Ampeg SVT-412HE cabs, partly because of the four 12's, but mostly cause they are pretty rare and I love the US made Classic Ampeg cabs. So I had always been on the lookout for one and ran across one at Music Go Round about 2 years ago. The tolex was all beat up...

    Im really excited to try out my new BeatBuddy pedal today. I bought the footswitch and a separate small pedal board for the drum pedals. The BeatBuddy is connected to a 10” 280w PA active speaker that fits right under my bass cab! This is where I play most of the time when I’m at home.

    What's more important, the beat or the groove?

    I've been playing with a new band for a few months now and there's a bit of an issue brewing. The drummer in this band has names for the beat a given song will require. We do mostly jazz and a lot of the stuff we do can have a Latin beat. So the drummer will say things like 'Oh this is a Samba...
