    Unaware of Coronavirus, Nickelback Continues Tour of Playing to Empty Stadiums

    “Nobody will ever see a Nickelback concert as a possible public health hazard because they don’t have any fans,” CDC Robert Redfield stated. “In fact, if you want to be safe from the virus, one of the best places you could go is to a Nickelback concert, but I wouldn’t wish that on anyone.”...

    Double Bass That Spirocore G sound that nobody likes... what is it, actually?

    Anyone who has ever played a new set of spiros will immediately know the sound I mean. On the G string, somewhere up between the D and the 8ve G. It's kind of a whiny, nasal, metallic "boing-y" kind of thing that happens until the string gets played in for a year or two. What...

    I brought a new bass, nobody noticed

    Salud! For several years I've been using this bass, with its VERY disctintive "hook headstock", as my main "battle tank". Recently I could finally put my hands upon the one bass I modeled it after, a 2010 Wine Red Fender Jazz: Two weeks and two gigs have passed and NOBODY in my...

    Submission Nobody Knows You When You're Down and Out

    This is an old one. Slow blues in C, but 8 bars. And in 12/8. Bar 5 starts in F and then raises the root by a half step for an F# diminished chord. Bar 6 is a great slash chord. It's a C chord, but the G in the bass in important to the bass line. I love the chord progression. Nobody Knows...

    Why is nobody talking about the 2018 GIBSON RD BASS?

    Dear Zeus, I saw it yesterday evening and I was salivating like a starving pavlovian dog in a church. It has tons of features! (that I don't like) Those new Gibson open pole pickups (that sound extremely good). A redesigned pickguard. And a switchable active system with bass, trebble and...

    Bands that form because friends want to play together but nobody agrees on anything....

    But don't agree on what they want to play or don't share a unanimous goal. Does it matter or is it a sign to stop while you're ahead? Or is it a sign of great things that can come? My history says it's the former. Just wanted to make a quickie.

    Slap and 8 up...

    I've been playing passive basses for the past year or so. Took my Bongo to my last gig - a wedding. Hated the experience (and my Bongo was my #1 for many years). I've gotten too used to passive basses and felt like I was playing a entirely different instrument - had to dramatically re-adjust my...

    Nobody's mentioned Nicholas Macioci?

    I've searched our TB forums and could not find any information about Nicholas Macioci. :rollno: :confused: o_O and I decided to be the first to mention a very nice bass player at our TalkBass forum.

    Gig with a Starcaster? I did.

    Got a call at 4:00, the scheduled performer was sick, could I find a replacement? One phone call later, my singer/songwrite friend is on his way to the venue. 30 minutes later: "Hey are you coming up to back me?" Ooops. I grab a Fender combo amp and the first bass on the wall... a "Starcaster"...

    Fanned Frets - Nobody told me it was easier to play ?!

    Hey Gang :smug: Just acquired a used Dingwall 4 Super J and I gotta say it's pretty awesome and I am stocked to see that it's actually easier to play for me... No adaptation necessary for me and it looks strange to play only when you look at it in some parts, not when you play, as it's a dream...

    What do you do when nobody want's to play with you anymore?

    I've been a professional musician for over 5 years. Earned a living for my family during the mortgage crisis playing bass. I loved it. I made so many contacts. I was playing out every weekend, sometimes with other bands that I have never gigged with as a fill in, no practice. I gathered a bunch...

    Chipaholics: ever buy something nobody likes so they won't eat it?

    Hello. My name is Frank, and I am a chipaholic. Ever buy chips or pretzels that you know the rest of the family doesn't like - so that you have a fighting chance of keeping chips/pretzels in stock in the house. :) They keep wiping out my stash.

    Ever feel like you're in a situation nobody in the world has ever been in?

    For a good part of my younger years, I believed myself to be incredibly unique. In many ways we all are, but I'm talking the REAL unique, unhealthy kind of I don't fit in anywhere. I've gotten past that for the most part, and my life has been much happier. I get along much better in the world...

    The Audience Really Doesn't Care...

    As we have progressed musically, and we're groovin' along on the gig, where there's space and where it does no harm, we all play a lick, or a passage, or some flurry of notes 'cause we hear it and/or think its cool. I have moved away from much extraneous playing because of a few reasons: 1) It...

    What kind of bass player is your favorite?

    Mysterious Crackle Noise on Bass - Nobody can figure it out

    So I had precision pickups put in my ibanez bass and then the active electronics were disabled so now the bass operates just like a passive precision. Problem is sometimes when I move the chord or just move it makes a terrible crackly noise. Tried numerous chords and a few amps and get the same...

    What to do, when you have zero musician in your area, who are interested in playing the same genre as you? Should you wait, try to be a one man band or drop you preferences and start playing what is trendy right now?

    Hello you beautiful carbon-based lifeforms, I'm Cree. (Somebody already had that username, but oh well.) I've been playing bass for about five years, so I'm still something of a newbie. I took lessons for a short time, but stopped because of reasons. I want to continue improving my skills and...

    Will boiling my pickguard improve the tone of my bass?

    Since Nobody isn't going to be around for a while to ask the important questions, I figure some of us need to carry on in his spirit. So originally, I was only going to ask P-bass users with tort guards for input, because... well, only their opinions matter since anyone who plays anything else...
