Was listening to this song recently and it struck me that this song has a really good bass part, very melodic, was wondering who played the bass part on this song? thanks

So that's the basic idea. Might as well use a master tone for both pups (yeah preamps are cool and all but I think a good old tone is needed, as they are two different beasts), but I have a cheap HH guitar and I think it's cool to be able to control individually the tone each pickup. I thought...

So, I saw this bass on eBay back in February (pics with white background) and the seller was in Japan. The listing was pretty much "Grass Roots bass by ESP" with pictures. I don't now why but I was kinda drawn to it, like it needed me or something. I made some inquiries about shipping and the...

Basically what the title says. Years ago I used to think that Sadowsky was overpriced and I couldn't figure out why people were so into those basses. I took a chance and bought one sight-unseen several months ago and absolutely fell in love with it. And picking up another one next week...

So I've been putting aside money to get a new bass head to run my two Fender 210 cabs. I wanted something good without going broke. I had pretty much decided to go with the GK MB500 and then today I walked into my local Sam Ash and tried the Aguilar TH500. I'm simply blown away by how good...

And maybe I would spend $3,500 for a bass. If I win the lottery, even for a few thousand, I think I'd say "Screw it!" and just buy this. Not actually a PJ but… 2017 Fender Post Modern P/J Custom Shop Journeyman Relic 4 String Bass ~ Purple Sparkle

Several months, maybe a year ago, there was a thread that discussed the proper way to merge into traffic when there is a lane closure. I used to be of the mindset "get over as soon as you know it is coming", and, by extension, those who didn't were trying to game the system. Now I realize the...

I thought I misread this. $12,000 for this nonsense is beyond crazy. Is it guitar center, esp, or Kirk Hammett that is crazy for asking this sum of money? I mean, at least it comes with a case, right?

OK, I'm worried that Jim Carrey will be the next Robin Williams. He is just babbling whenever he talks lately. He is making no sense whatsoever. He doesn't seem drugged or even drunk. He just seems......lost......down. He needs to go buy an island and live on it for a while. Come back when you...

The number one streamed song from my solo album is called "Train Wreck." Do me a solid and check it out ... if you don't mind. There's a little bass solo at the 1:50 mark that I am particularly pleased with. If you love it, feel free to share it ...

For one festival music ,music school start makes band .and guess what that eas the easiest part . Every band has two guitar ,bass,drum and some add member like keyboard and ... So I went met my band in the practice place I'm school . I was thinking ok now you will meet them and you don't need...

Hey everyone! I just purchased a Fender 100T bass head from the classifieds here and overall I'm ecstatic with it! I was cranking it at home, running it full blast just earlier today and it was sounding glorious with my Fender 410 Neo cab. I took it on a gig tonight and the amp shutdown during...

Ok, so I've posted once before and I have explained that I'm still a little new to the bass. Hell, I'm new to any musical instrument, but the bass struck a chord with me and I love it. I'm curious, I've opened up my mind to new music of all sorts and now listen to music from a players standpoint...

Has anyone ever heard the story of how this was recorded? Glen Campbell had the bass player play the first verse and chorus in one rhythm, and then changed it after that, in the middle of the song. I've heard a live version where he chose the second rhythm for the entire song. But I like the...

I was doing a bit of work on my car this morning. Apparently I didn't have the hood up all the way (hood has hydraulics, not a "stop bar". And the hood came crashing down on my fingers. That was not fun at all! Of course I was way too far to get to the hood latch. Fortunately my wife was...

I don't really want to get too much into simulation theory here, because I could go forever there. But say you are raising a puppy, is it the same theory as raising a human brain? I'm definitely getting a puppy and just had 3 days with a 4 week old half Pitt half German Shepherd that changed a...

I went to Guitar Center today to try out some basses. I've been battling whether to get a P Bass or a Jazz bass. I prefer jazz necks by far, but the P bass just has a certain tone that I always want, but the necks have always seemed way to big for my liking. I walked in and played a MIM jazz...

Hi everyone, not that long ago, I (really) discovered Jazz and started playing the double bass. I have a musical background but this is the first time I am into improv. And like many (as I heard) improv can stress me out at times. While I can memorise tunes and walk them, I often get lost while...

Few months ago i've got myself HB JB-75MN black, just for the kicks. i've figured 150bucks for jazz with wilkinson pickups and hardware and ash body with maple neck, black blocks and binding is super cheap. reviews were also great! That bass blew my mind, it became my no1 player. i've sold my...

I was going to limit this to things bass related, but thought it could get interesting if I just left it open despite the fact that the things I'm going to list, are bass related. There are a handful of things that I was pretty big mouthed about 10-15 years ago, that time has changed my opinion...

Can anyone point me to a transcription of a bass line for this Hoagy Carmichael tune? In C would be great, but even with my limited skills I could probably transpose. Thanks.

Ok, tomorrow I'm going to start a one year experiment.. Can an 50 year old player that always skated by on the basics break through a lifetime of accepting mediocracy and achieve excellence? Back story; on a whim a few months ago I bought several sight reading books, the James Jameson book...

This is the latest in this guys postings. Usually they are twice as long. There are videos on line of his playing and well.... you can judge for yourself.... $$$ up-front $$$ for experienced Bassist that can jam well Sounds more like one of those "shred" videos...

I had an interesting experience today and thought I'd share it with others. For the last few days, I have been learning a new song, but there was a bridge section that was giving me some trouble. I decided to turn on the metronome and work on that section exclusively. After I was able to play...
