    Do certain basses have Mojo?

    James Jameson’s backup bass was sold at auction last year, not the funk machine, and it made me wonder. “Does that bass have mojo?” Or is it just wire and wood and the bass player provides the Mojo. Discuss

    Ok, let’s all save live music – are there certain styles?

    As an offshoot of the epic “why bands get paid poopie these days,” are there certain styles of music that may provide certain qualities ONLY in a live setting, and can musicians somehow capitalize on those things by focusing on those styles? I happened to go see a new friend’s blues band, at a...

    Certain Bass

    i just had dealings with David at Certain Bass. Needless to say I will never deal with him again. Very unprofessional. I had an idea in mind. We conversed back and forth.

    Can Mids Be Overated In Certain Musical Situations (GK Contour Knob)?

    I am posting this in amps because this deals with the dreaded "contour" knob on my GK MB500. On a whim while using my particularly mid heavy Precision Bass Special, I decided to play with varying degrees of contour at the gig last night. Usually this knob would be in the off position at all...

    Moving from IEM's to amp in certain situations

    Hi all - 1st post so be gentle. I've been playing in an acoustic duo, playing through an Apollo unit into an in ear monitor mix. Great for saving the ears, and I love the control of the sound on stage. Often we play small to medium venues and run the house mix through a small PA, or through...

    Volume "Spikes" on certain pitches

    I've been experiencing an issue with my smaller amps when playing my acoustic bass. When I have the EQ set so that I can hear the mids and highs, I've found that certain tones seem to jump out substantially more than the other notes. At first I thought perhaps it was just a room frequency thing...

    Have you ever got a bass, just because you like it, or because you wanted a certain sound, and someone comes up to you and says, you must be a "BLANK" fan, when really, you just got it because you wanted it for yourself. For example, if you had a violin shaped bass, and people instantly assume...

    Just me, or does anyone feel like they HAVE to play a certain bass when playing a certain artist?

    TL;DR: I feel that when I play to Rush tunes, it has to be on a Jazz Bass and nothing more. I can't explain why, but it just feels...right. I tried playing Limelight on my Precision Bass a few days ago, but it's like trying to build an airplane with scissors. It felt so weird. Likewise, I...
