I’m a fellow bass player who also runs my own sound company. I was contacted a few months ago by a friend about covering production at a venue that he had a contract at. I got the stage plots a few days before the event and was informed that I would have to supply all my own sound gear and...
Hello TalkBass community!
I have been looking for a 5 string Warwick for a while now, that doesn't cost 3k euro, and found myself a Warwick RB Corvette 5 $$ NB TS on Thomannmusic. I am situated in Norway, and they are a great supplier and shipper to my country.
Thing is, as I read the few...
We are a Minnesota based band that plays the upper midwest but we have been asked to play a private party in Pittsburgh next July. We need to find some local sound/light production. Our local guy is quoting a huge fee (as you'd expect to haul our normal setup out to Pittsburgh) so we'd like to...
This is a counterpoint to the current thread about music badly produced - which lots of us seem to be enjoying.
Interested to hear about those which are notable for the opposite reason.
Can you share the songs or albums that give you that "in the room while it was recorded" feeling. Where the...
not “good” or “bad” production, not whether or not it sounds horrible in any listeners ear, but the era of production. the styles used, and typically they line up with 60s and 70s era songs. my interest goes away when i hear the way 80s and 90s songs are produced in such a lifeless way. it’s not...
Greetings all,
I'm sure you'll agree that the bass guitar in the song OPP by Naughty by Nature sounds phenomenal. It's old school but it's modern.
Would anyone like to say how that sound is achieved?
The best I can think is that it's flat wounds. Maybe going through a tube DI? There are...
So I’m trying to do like a live arrangement cover of a song for Instagram and YouTube. I’m working with other musicians and they’ll send me audio and video of them playing their parts. I’ll then add the audios as tracks for the song and mix them. I’m looking for the orchestra hits on Logic Pro X...
Hey guys,
I just got a Bass Station 2 and I was wondering how to connect it to my laptop (I have Windows now but a MacBook coming in a few days) as a MIDI keyboard (still not exactly sure what that is) if anyone knows that would be greatly appreciated. I don’t have any MIDI cables right now but...
I have a Ableton Push 2 and Live 10 Standard for sale. I bought this a couple of months ago and used it a couple of times. This Push 2 with Ableton Live is awesome if you have the time to make music. This package will cost you around $1200.00, I'm letting it go for $950.00. I will transfer the...

Basically I love the neck on my SG bass, but that's about it. The body is too light for the neck, and the pickups are only ok. The neck is one of my favourite if not my favourite neck of all my basses. What are basses in production right now with a similar neck? The ones I know of are:

The post ended up being a bit long.
TL;DR – is 144$ a reasonable payment for the first paid production of a 20 years old person?
Hi! I'm 20 years old and have been playing bass for about 3 years now. Technically, I don't consider myself a bassist but a guitar player, because I never had a...

Hello!
I have been looking at some SB-Black & Gold basses, and I looked at the serial of one up for sale. It was a 7 digit serial starting with a 1, indicating it's from 1981, like the seller states. I checked on the Matsumoku website (Aria/Aria Pro II Basses), and if you scroll to the B&G...
I love this approach, synth bass & slap bass in the same song. I started a Spotify playlist of songs. Got any more I can add?

Hi all,
I'm by no means a producer, just able to do what I've picked up along the way of trying to record my own tracks. Hoping some of you might be able to help with this, thanks!
Right now I'm using a factory drum loop from my EHX 22500 looper on a recording. The drums are in a single...
I really lilked the Marshall VBC 4x12 Cabs.
Unfortunately I never bough any while they were in production. Now I am wondering what out there is a similar Vibe, or conversely if I could do something like reload a guitar cab ( something similar sized Like an Orange PPC412) with Bass speakers to do...
Hi,
Moderators - feel free to move this into the correct category.
I need some advice from fellow bassists on where to take the next steps in music.
I'm 18 live in London and about to finish school in June. I have been playing musical instruments since I was 6 years old (bass since I was 12)...
I swear I saw an ad for a very inexpensive medium scale bass but can't remember where.
I just want the neck and the basses I saw were only $150 (I think).
I have a long term project that would like a complete neck to attach to the body I have been messin with.
Help?
Hi Justin,
I've recently been getting into the production side of music after working with lots bands and songwriters over the years. I was wondering if you - or anyone else in this forum - had some helpful tips for recording bass both creatively and professionally?
I like to collaborate...
I've a really great opportunity to invest in a new bass rig and I've been an Ampeg sound lover for a long time but never had the scratch.
Price point is comparable for the Heritage and the VR. I know there are some feature difference and obviously where they were made/assembled, but I want to...
Hello,me again,a very crazy kubicki fan.Here's another question,I know that factor/exfactor are in very low production quantity,but how long is the production cycle of them?Three months?Half of a year?
Thank you for all your replies.
Any one know when Fender started and stopped production of the American Standard Precision Bass V 5 string? The regular passive one.
Someone said theirs is a 2016, but I thought Fender stopped making them before 2016.
People often classify Fender basses/guitars by various eras of production and use this to draw general conclusion about the desirability, quality or price of the instrument. Examples would be Pre-CBS, Late 60s/Early 70s, 70s boat anchors, 80's Fullerton, 2000 AVRIs, etc etc.
I was wondering...
Bought a B-axis jazz off Reverb, installed it and the two low string were almost dead and distorted. Contacted Bartolini (who were very responsive) and got the following solution to try:
"On the first production run, there were cases where one of the internal contacts was exposed, and if it...
Guidelines were published last month. They're interesting if you want to know what constitutes "Grammy quality" recordings, according to the Recording Academy / Producers & Engineers Wing. This is about the new technical recording expectations. Performance talent is a different ballgame...

4 or 5 months ago you could still find these things for $150 new, but now I don't see them available anywhere except reverb and some are going for almost $300. Did Digitech discontinue the reissue?

So, recently I bought a set of Fender 9050 flatwounds from an ebay shop but when I went to the Fender site to get more info on them they were nowhere to found. In fact, Fender's string range seems to have been severely cut back to just 10 sets (most of which are for bass. For some reason)...
Maybe I'm late to the game, but I just saw this today:
