    Gig in the wild

    I have been using the forum as a main font of knowledge for a couple of years now, and now came the time to register and ask a question myself, so hello world! The problem I need to solve is playing outdoors (by the sea, in a field etc). Since it's not exactly gigging, I'm only interested in...

    I play upright about 98% of the time, but came up on electric. When I was last gigging regularly on electric, but dreaming of upright, I started using flatwounds on my Fender Jazz and really, really, really dug that sound. Oddly enough, I've changed electric basses several times since I mostly...

    Basic fretless cliches or style guide?

    Not a long time ago I got a fretless bass and started to learn to play it.
