    A sense of humor, even on Mother's Day.

    So on my way to get a set of strings and a new strap at GC today I got my mom to go with me, on Mother's Day. A few reasons for this. 1) She needs to get out 2) I come from a family of musicians and I knew her eyes would light up like a kid 3) I wanted her to try out an electric piano, it's...

    How is this even possible??? Against Me!

    So I saw this - I'm NOT a bass player, just some guy messing around on weekends for my own amusement, but I love bands from Gainesville... I've been beating myself up since Dee Dee only used downstrokes and I still can't pull that off, although I do pretty well as a noob. Do you see this...

    Poor guy couldn't even get on the stage

    I went to a bridal show last night and there was a wedding band playing. I'm looking all around for the bass player and then suddenly I spot him. I had to take a pic for you guys. I know the stage was a little small....but c'mon! This sums up being a bass player. Kid was really good too and had...

    Did he even look at this before posting?

    I saw this today on an eBay listing for a Squire Affinity P (which the seller listed as a "Fender Standard Precision Electric Bass Guitar"). I have a feeling he's not very detail-oriented. Especially about his reflection... Thankfully the photo didn't include any NSFW bits!

    I've always had action issues with my Fender Jazz, even though the saddles are really low

    Is it true that I can get lower action if I get the string slots in the saddles filed down? I figure that's the issue, because I've had it set up professionally and the guy said the saddles were as low as possible.

    Dead D string even after string change ....

    Ibanez SR370M ... my old workhorse. Seemed to happen during a string change, but more likely I just didn't notice it before. Cuz I changed the D string and it's still muffled. It's muffled noticeable when unplugged so it's not a pickup issue. I've played with the saddle height ... nada. Soooo...

    Do I even need a "bass amp"?

    Hi folks. I got into playing bass a couple of years ago, and bought a nice Warwick Sweet 25.1. I like the way my basses sound through it, but when I've gigged, I've always ended up playing through a PA. In fact, I have 2 PA speakers and a mixer, so I'm set with that all on my own. The PA...

    does the sansanmp bddi work as DI even when not on

    Can I still use it as a direct out even if I do not use the pre amp part of it? Some basses I have I will use but others have onboard pre amp that should be ok, either way can I use it as a passive DI and also a preamp?

    Is series/parallel switch even worth it? Or it's just fine with EQ?

    Even @ 17 he was amazing

    I've been following Mono for quite some time but had missed this. There are a lot of young prodigy types but he has always been super unique and he had that recognizable style even then. It's not going to be everybody's cup of tea, but he is definitely an unbelievable talent.

    Do I even need to shield my Jazz bass?

    I've just recently purchased a 5-string Wolf Jazz bass. It has Tesla single-coil pickups. I noticed that the bass is not shielded, it makes noise if my fingers are not touching the strings near the headstock. The noise is not very loud, it is the same volume as the single-coil hum I get if I...
