So I got inspired after reading this this thread (thank you @tb-player !). And as I was reading it, I was thinking "I wonder what everyone's favorite color is for a bass guitar?". I will go first: My favorite bass colors are Candy Apple Red (or Ruby Red in Ric parlance), Miami Blue, and Royal...

Was just reading this interesting pop psychology article and thought TB members might find it interesting Music Preferences and Your Personality Based on a claimed sample of 36,000 people the researchers found a correlation between music taste and personality or character type. It's a broad...

For me it is a Fender Rhodes. I know the general aspects of making chords on a piano and can play some, however I love whenever an actual pianist gets behind a Rhodes and starts laying it down. It is an instrument that could work in almost any setting if used properly. I'd love to have a...

Anyone have a favorite music festival from the 60s and 70s, or a couple. You dont have to have been to one, just love the live recordings. Mine is probably Isle Of Wight in 1970!

There's no way to pick which bass player is the greatest of all time. But we all have favorites... or at least the bassists who are most influential on our playing. For me, Mark King from Level 42 has shaped my playing style significantly. Just recently I posted an NBD of my Elrick fretless...

So I thought it would be interesting with poll on how people prefer to pick their bass, that is sound and feel wise, disregarding what the music they play might call for, as in an ideal world where one picking technique could do it all. Personally I prefer to play with a relatively flexible...

I realize you have to play the notes that fits the music you happen to play, but what is the scale that you enjoy the sound and mood/character of the most and loves to noodle, jam in, and eventual to use when composing music, the most? Mine absolutely has to be the Dorian Scale, love that...

What are one or two of your favorite albums that, for one reason or another, didn't get the recognition like other records the band made. What are your favorite more overlooked albums by popular bands. The albums don't have to be completely unknown, but just underrated when compared with their...

The 1 book on bass that I own now is called The Bass Book: A Complete Illustrated History of Bass Guitars And its great fun to read! What about other people?

I know there are some culinary whizbangs on this site... but regarding the pre-made grocery store stuff, let's hear your faves! I'm currently looking for a new jar or two! :drool:

I'm trying to learn more about eight-strings—as in four courses of two strings. What are your favorites? Least favorites? Why? Thanks!

I can’t remember mine exactly. However, I know it was either Lithium by Nirvana, Buggin’ Out by a Tribe Called Quest, or Can’t Stop by the Red Hot Chili Peppers. I’m interested to see what others (i.e. you all) chose as that first song you just had to learn on principle alone. I find that I’m...

I have no dog in the hunt, nor am I gassing for one presently, but in a moment of spontaneous curiosity, thought I’d ask for everyone’s favorite Ampeg product that does NOT include power tubes. Defining the parameters more precisely: 1. It could be an Ampeg head with no power tubes...but such...

These are my new favorite candy... holy cow... either variety, so good.

(Preface: Not looking for suggestions on models or makes, as I’m not likely to buy anything any time soon.) I’ve been GASing for a hollow or semi hollow bass, and notice that colors are more limited, as are the models, than solid bodies. Mostly seeing black, red, sunburst, natural, and/or...

Regardless of genre, some albums are simply louder than others. I really dig these loud albums, especially when they're of the rock variety. Gimme a couple of these and a great pair of headphones or in-ears and I'm a happy camper. Bummer that some of my all-time faves just don't have enough...
