    Practice amp for teen: Acoustic B20 / B100, Peavey Microbass / Minx, or something else?

    I'm hoping you fine folks will be able to give me some guidance. My daughter expressed interest in playing bass, so I want to get her a practice amp. Usage would be playing at home, stuff like Green Day, alone or with me on guitar. I have an Acoustic B20 amp, purchased in 2008 and barely used...

    Who was the bass player on Bellamy Brothers - Let your love flow?

    I was wondering, was it Reinie Press (from the Neil Diamond band)? Very tasty playing and entertaining bass lines to put on a simple 3 chord song:

    Is bass player usually the techie guy in the band?

    That's been my experience at least in the 15 or so bands I've been in over the years, and guitar players in particular seem to be bad at simple troubleshooting. I played a show a few weeks ago with a band that was a throw-together. Keyboard player had 2 new mixers which he had to use because...

    Decision on P Bass: MIM Player, MIA Pro, Lakland Skyline

    I've been all over the place with basses - need to finally settle on a P.

All would be set up before being shipping to me...

    First Post- Not a Bass Player, just a guy that plays bass.

    Just found this forum.. I’m NOT a Bass Player, just a guy that plays bass. Maybe? On Friday afternoons, I put on my Ramones (1st album) record which is great because it’s “stereo” so on one channel it’s all guitar, drums and vocals, and on the other channel it’s all bass, drums and vocals. So I...

    Fender Precision Bass Player or (MIM) Standard

Both sound great, but unfortunately the two basses...
