People that call themselves musicians but don't know that without quiet there is no loud.

Be careful what you wish for. ...

That lazy, eh..? That really is lazy. Here, if you can be bothered, is a link to a previous comment. Enjoy ...

Hi I'm firewood and I play a piece of firewood. I need advice about annoying things and stuff to keep an eye on. Any body with experience got stuff to yap about?

I'm too lazy to read all the comments but what are some cheaper newbie bass books for total idiots like me?

If you decide against this idea, do you mind if I buy it instead, and stick a MM pick up in at the bridge? I feel like this would increase the instruments versatility at open mic nights.

Hello everyone Hoping that you’re all ok. I’m a bass player, composer, DJ and multi-instrumentalist. In terms of bass; I was originally influenced by Mick Karn, Stanley Clarke, John Taylor, Jack Bruce, Mark King, John Entwhistle, Stuart Zender, Jaco Pastorious and many more. I started playing music, aged 6. Piano. Then guitar aged 10, and moved to bass, aged 15. First a GBP £50 Hondo, black Fender Precision copy. Then I joined a band, and bought an Aria Pro II Fretless bass. This was due to my love of Mick Karn’s playing. I then became influenced by the British “White Funk” movement. At this stage, I bought a Warwick bass, and Trace Elliot bass amp and cab. I currently play an Aria Fretless bass, an Ibanez pearl white fretted bass, a violet Behringer warlock style bass, a blue Fender Precision copy, and an Australian acoustic bass. I use a Trace Elliot amp, and a Peavey 17” cabinet. I have many effects pedals. Mostly by Boss, but also a Cry Bany Wah pedal and a loop device, the Strymon Volante. Other instruments include approximately 12 guitars, a banjo, A Moog Subsequent 37, Korg Minilogue 37, an Oxy 1 Mk2 Sequencer, Korg B2, Korg Nautilus Workstation, Pioneer XDJRR deck, various combo amps, including a Roland Jazz Chorus, Yamaha mini mixing console and 12” p.a. Loudspeakers, Behringer PA amp and graphic equaliser, MacBook Pro and more of the usual stuff. I’m currently setting up a music therapy, for veterans, in Kyiv. I’m very glad to have found this forum. It would be really good, to chat with other bass enthusiasts and music creators. Have a nice weekend, Tiger

Inner City Blues - Marvin Gaye

Saw him with Headspace Saturday. A bit different to your gig and a little sparse on attendance, others loss as they missed an excellent night with a great band Silent stage, except for the kit, and the baby Kemper doing its thing well.

OLP Tony Levin - swapped for a 4-string that cost me £75 and £50 cash, and needed a truss rod adjuster wheel fitting (another tenner). No upgrades yet.

Squier Jazz Vintage Modified Modified. Apart from the Aguilar pickup, V/B/T controls, and pretty control plate, and the neat defret job, it's just the same as any other Squier Jazz. No tear-out, the slight wiggliness on the lines is from the fret tangs.

A bass player is nothing special as far as society goes.

I am selflishly waiting for the American F*ckwit Precision

Facebook and gumtree. I got at 15” bass cab on gumtree for £10
