new bass player

Hi folks, I’ve been a 6 string guitar player for decades, but recently started playing bass. First bass guitar was a Gretch short scale model. Great tone and playability, but I want to get a full size bass now and I’ve always loved Schecters - currently own 3. I was looking at a T-4, a...

Hi, I've not played my bass for a while but it's not really old at all and today when I picked it up I noticed these crack in the white back of the bass body, anyone know if these are purely cosmetic or do they warrant taking it for repairs? Thanks!!

Hi everyone, I’m new here and I’m Shaina. I have started learning the bass seriously very recently (about 4 weeks now), although I always seemed to have one and *want* to learn it since 2014-2015. I got a music man stingray for myself for my birthday and have been practicing everyday since...

Hey guys, I'm new here. I'll start off by saying that I'm a drummer first, been playing off and on most of my life. No gigging or anything serious, just a fun exercise/hobby, playing along with my favorite songs. Mainly metal and rock for me, a little blues here and there. This past year I've...

Hello all I found this locally for sale for 425 may be able to get it cheaper was just wondering if it’s worth my time. Currently working with peavy 200 bass series and a hartke vx115. Thanks for your time new to bass and still figuring it all out.

Hello all I am new to the website and am new to bass all the way around. I switched from guitar to bass to play with my brother on drums and a friend on guitar. I currently have a peavey milestone III Hartke vx115 300w and a peavy century 200 bass series amp head. When I get the volume loud...

Hi, I'm a fairly new bass player with a fairly new bass (and by fairly new, i mean about 5 weeks) and I am finding that the E string often buzzes a few moments after letting it ring out. I have tried different positions in the fret and pressing harder/softer on the string but nothing seems to...

They say you’re never too old to learn, well I guess I am about to test that theory. I’ve sat on the drum throne for a few decades, (a little acoustic guitar and piano/keys too) and decided it was time to develop skills for the other side of the rhythm section, wanted to for years but the longer...

Hi forum, I’m brand new here and pretty new to bass. I’m a guitarist and a drummer looking to add bass to my skill set for the purpose of songwriting and recording. Having said that, I’m really clicking with bass! Having the background as a drummer, turning guitarist, I find I’m probably a...

Hey guys, I am new to the forum, but i have some questions and maybe others have the same. I joined two guys who wanted to start a ska punk band, one is a drummer the other one is a singer with no band experience. after making some songs we found a keyboard player and we where ready to gig and...

I'm very excited to have recently purchased my first bass. I get to start my first lesson later today! I'm looking to learn a lot from this forum and hope to get to know as many bassists as I can. Brandon

Having a few doesn't count of course, but being in that position, standing next to the drummer with us looking at each other for cues and connecting is a blast, and having a guitar player looking over joyed that I'm holding down solid patterns and giving massively obvious lead ins to the next...
