help needed

New Bass Player here (10 years a guitar player)and trying to play Rhiannon by Fleetwood Mac. I have seen two different tabs and neither was correct and have watched a few live videos as well as Youtube videos. Was hoping someone may have the correct Bass Tabs. Thanks in advance for any help! Phil

FWIW, I'm looking for help to produce TAB notation for my wife (who started learning bass in February). Although I play several instruments, I learned to read dots as a kid and have never paid much attention to TAB before. I've seen conflicting info on tutorials intended to help people read...

Hello, all. Yesterday I sparked the idea to mod my Squier Jaguar Bass and give it the look of a Fender MIJ Jaguar Bass with all the chrome plating and switching. After looking up how to wire one of those, I quickly turned away from that plan and decided to come up with my own wiring diagram...

Hi guys! Well im in a weird position right now. I acquired a Peavey t40 a few months back, it had a lot of problems but i really liked it in the end. But the most annoying one is one about the misterious phase switch. This phase in/out only works when both pickups have the same volume and same tone

Hey everybody! I'm brand new to the TalkBass forums here and I look forward to being a part of this awesome community. I do have a question to ask if anyone would be willing to help me out. So I'm making a design for a custom four string and I was considering giving the bass a layout like Stu...

Hey guys, So I bought my first bass pack this week and I have a problem with my amp. It is an Eclipse BA-30. So I used it for a few days and it worked perfectly, today I decided to hook my setup to my PC to try to record some bass lines and now my whole setup is messed up. My amp only makes...

Ok, I'm at a loss here, so I figured I'd ask around these parts. A week ago I got a new bass to replace the one beat up Ibanez I used for my first year of practice and, as expected, the strings on it weren't the best ones. I got new strings and today changed them as I would normally do, and...

I am currently playing on a 4 string and am looking into getting a new bass. i play a lot of metal and some of the newer stuff requires really low downtuning. But i play a large variety of other music and about 90% of this is in e standard. Would it be possible to save myself some money by...

Starting to really get into the bass guitar after quitting the double bass in hs. I've been playing without an amp for a month though. I recently bought a Rumble 40 for practice, but I'm a bedroom bassist and I'll be using headphones 99% of the time in college. I also want to eventually make...

Hey guys. Beginner bassist here. I started playing bass a few weeks ago, and I'm pretty happy with my progress so far. The thing is, it doesn't make the sound i expect when I slap it. I'm pretty sure my technique is correct, and I can do pops on the G string just fine, but when I try slapping...

Someone posted a link a while back about some online, simple to use, basic mastering program that they used and loved. Anyone have any idea what that might have been? Also... I'm paying someone to turn my book into an audio book. I love the guys performance, but I'm having some issues. He...

First I'll apologize for how unkempt these look, but I'm struggling and I know I'll be doing redundant changes until I get a few things right. First off, this is pretty much my first project using electronics, so bear with me as I'm new, but I've tried my best to get as far as I could before...

Hi Everyone New user here, first time posting and I'm looking for some help choosing new strings. So I'm a drummer at heart but I wasn't in a position to invest in a kit and I just don't have the space to keep one, so I bought myself a bass guitar a few years ago and essentially taught myself...

Hi to all I'm looking for your help in this case. I recently obtained a Spector, according to the seller its a Spector Euro 5LX but since it has a custom paint, there is no serial number. While looking for the controls chart I noticed that it has only 1 concentric knob. On line I can online find...

This just started yesterday and was working fine before. Tried replacing strings and messing with pickups but nothing helped.

Hello all, I need help since I am not fully trained in electrical engineering. I built a bass a year ago but I never did a good job of doing the electronics. Half the Problem was that It was the first thing that I had soldered. Now I solder class 3 electronics for a living so that is no longer...
