I did a search and most of the posts that I found were old, so I thought I would throw this out for any current suggestions. I am strictly a hobby player. I play a little in the church that I attend. I play with some from friends as well as my wife. she plays guitar and keyboards. I play for the pure enjoyment of playing and loosing myself in the groove....

At the club I have a gig at tonight, my Squier Jazz buzzes like mad. (The guitar player's guitar buzzes, too. They have some neon lights going into the same circuit the stage uses.) The last couple times we've played there I've left the Squier at home (it's a killer bass, I put Bartolini pickups in it, replaced the bridge, installed a nice new pickguard...

Just back from my regular big band gig and decided to check out a tune the bandleader was interested in doing: "it's a duet with a soprano sax, bit busy. Maybe better with BG rather than EUB..." It's called 'Is That A Bass (Or Are You Just Glad To See Me)' and is a Tom Kubis arrangement http://tinyurl.com/5m7s8a I quite like the 'moderate' rating ;) --...

Hello to all, I ask for your opinion on helping me choose a good DVD for learning to play bass. I'm not interested in one of those specific technique DVD, but rather one that help me understand tha bass, the notation, theory, scales, right hand and finger positioning, preferable in a lesson scheme and with exercises. Alternatively, a good book with...

How, exactly, is the brass grounding plate used in (presumably vintage) Precision basses? Were the pickups originally grounded to the plates, and then the plates to ground in the control cavity? If so, why would Fender do that and not just run wire to the control cavity from the pickups? Were they fixed at all, or did they just sit at the bottom of the rout,...

Ever had a simple bass tune which you just cannot play? You know how to play it but you just can't. My example is 'Planet Earth' by Duran Duran (hear it on Youtube). John Taylor plays a da da dum da da dum rhythm which my hands refuse to play it at the correct speed. Now for some grave-robbing for a new pair of hands (maniac laughter).

Found this on alt guitars...just had to pass on the opportunity to buy this....er... Apologies for massive link.

A fake book can really help you a lot in developing your improvisational skills. If you choose just one of the songs you will find a source to many exercises that will help you become a much better guitarist. Do you know what a fake book is? A fake book is made in a very compact format containing a lot of songs. This is possible because you will usually...

What's this I see? People feeling sorry for themselves? People giving up on their friends and quitting bands? What's going on here? Must be the gutless generation. Think like us old guys. Our mama's never reaised no pussy wuss!!! Pt
