    Guinness Record Holding Bass Player Dies On Stage

    I posted an article about her, not long ago , on my FB page. Then, this news report comes out today. I know she played upright but she also talked about how when she retired, she was going to take up the electric bass and get a band going. She was in her 80's when she was quoted as saying that...

    Bass player in "trying to understand DAW hell". Can you help?

    Hi. Sorry for the new topic. I don't have much recording experience. In fact, I only got back into playing a few years ago. Anyway, I committed to a friend that I would collaborate on a cover of Iron Maiden's Hallowed Be Thy Name. He told me I would just need a low latency interface and I would...

    Bass player on Hakuna Matata from The Lion King?

    I am very keen on knowing who is the boss laying down the fretless groove on the cinematic (not musical) version of Hakuna Matata from Disney's The Lion King. The playing is ingenious. I have been looking all over the Internet without any success. Does anyone know who is playing the bass?

    Double Bass How to get a Bass Player to play "simple?"

    What's the best way to have the conversation about playing simple to a bass player? To focus on the band sound, and leave the too-loud click runs up to people who can play them? We have a nice guy for a bass player, but we're always told - "he's too busy," "noodling is killing the groove," etc...

    I think I just recorded the sloppiest bassline in history. Guitar player humor here.

    Sometimes when I get ideas...I try to get them recorded so I got them stored. Anyway I took an old riff a friend of mine and me wrote when we were young and punk'd it up a bit. I know its not perfect, I was just noodling about and I know were to tighten it up...but the three guitarists I know...

    Nice guy but terrible musician vs. D-bag amazing player

    A common thread I see in band crisis stories here is "so and so is such a nice guy but he sucks at keys/drums/guitar"... it's a tough position to be in for sure, but is it worse than an excellent player who's an awful person?
