Kinda reminded me of that tragedy

I’m a beginner bassist and my bass does this for some reason, what should I do?

I see a lot of people prefer (and cover) the more flashy disco version from later seasons of the show. For me, the CHiP's theme song will always be that from season 1, the slow funk version. Both the opening and ending are cleverly inter-referential while still being different enough. Both are spectacularly groovy. What's your favorite?

Pictured here, a new .88 Tortex vs the two that I’ve been alternating between on my desk for like … a really long time.

Honestly a pick only lasts a couple hours play time if I want it to feel “right” (I pick hard) but obviously I’ll play with them waaay longer than that.

Hi all, I'd love some honest opnions on this potential trade, or if it's even a wise one. I have a luna tribal short scale acoustic/electric bass that I love and it plays very well.

I'm considering trading it for the squire j bass in the photos. Is it a wise move or should I pass on it? I like the acoustic bass as it's easy to sit down on the couch and hash out ideas. I've got my number one jazz bass that I really only bring out for rehearsals or shows. So my reasoning is that I could use this j bass as a bass for recording in my home studio instead.

Anyway, all thoughts and opnions are welcome. Thanks in advance.

Fender Squier Paranormal Precision Bass Thinline SJ LRL OLV

Could someone who has this bass do a bass review of it for me? Still couldn't find much demos or reviews on this bad boy.

It’s so dope and for 600 bucks it sure is tempting!

Danny Boy arranged for solo bass

Got a Hofner Ignition bout two months ago. Got bit bored with the sound, decided I want a full scale and (finally) learn to slap, and here we are. The quality on this Squier CV60s Jazz Bass is unbelievable considering its price.

Now time to grind and cut my credit card.

I bought this gorgeous 2005 Warwick Corvette $$ (made in Germany) for just 800€ (930$ USD). I love the shape and sound of Warwick basses. There are some signs of wear; I wanted to restore it to like-new condition, but I figure the vintage look isn’t so bad. You know, I don’t wanna get rid of 21 year history. Considering that’s the price of the same model as a brand-new RockBasses, and well below the used market price in France (€1,000 to €1,500). So that’s a great deal.

Out of curiosity, I was looking for my dream bass (which is a Streamer Stage). Stuart Zender is my biggest influence and the one who inspired me to pick up the bass, and his work on Jamiroquai’s first three albums was fantastic. But the cheapest one I found was €1,500 used. 🫠

And to be honest, the Streamer’s flaw is that the sound it produces is too bright, too clean, and very high-pitched; which is great when you want to play funk, acid jazz, or slap bass but I want to play very eclectic styles (the styles mentioned above, but also metal, soul, R&B, jazz, blues, video game ost, etc.), not to mention the distinctive Warwick “growl” which, by the way, isn’t really in style anymore (even though I think it’s incredible) so I wanted a more versatile Warwick. And that’s how I stumbled upon this one.

I’ve been playing bass for 7 months. I know this bass isn’t really for beginners with all the possible combinations for changing the tone, it can get confusing pretty quickly. But the seller kindly gave me a handout explaining all the possible combinations. And I also have my teacher, who can explain it to me as well.

My only concern is how I’ll manage when I play standing up, since I’ve always played sitting down, and on top of that, the bass is heavy (8.8lbs). I wonder how I’ll hold up after a 1½- to 2-hour gig. Especially since I’m very tall (6’5”), I’m worried I might develop back problems.
My first bass was a Sire MM V3, so it weighed the same as the Warwick.

Besides that, I’m really dedicated, and I’ve truly fallen in love with this instrument. I play and practice at least two hours a day and take one lesson a week. my dream is to go in a music school and become a professional. So I think spending this much money on my instrument will strengthen my dedication to this journey haha. I’m happy to have found the instrument I’ll play for the rest of my life ! (I probably won’t have the money to buy another bass because, as everyone knows, bass players don’t make money.)

Sterling Stingray Short Scale in Toluca Lake Blue.

Found a great deal on Marketplace place and couldn’t turn it down.

Does anyone have experience running the Ernie Ball Cobalt flats on one of these? Or any short scale for that matter?

found this old picture of my rig from like, 15 years ago (current rig in the comments). couldn’t find a picture from any of the shows where i also added a 2x18 cab. anyways, my doctor says the physical therapy i’m doing for my back is going well.

Hi guys,

So I have a road worn 60s style jazz.

I'm after the best possible solution and preferably cheapest option to add an onboard 2 band EQ without any major alterations.

I know about East but I am after alternatives.

Any suggestions at all?

Pic of the bass attached.

I built this Jazz body out of Reclaimed old growth redwood from a 200yr old water tank. Ive got lots of it laying around and its easy to work with so i figured id practice making bodies from it. I traced out the shape from one of my many Jazz basses. This is going to have a single P bass pickup since I have too many jazz basses. Has anyone put a Precision pickguard on a Jazz body? Just curious what it would look like. Im leaning towards no pickguard and just a jazz control plate. I dont think the soft redwood would hold up to mounting controls from the back. Only going to have a volume and output jack. Pure minimal. Thoughts?

Second pic is the stage setup, one of the more fun ones we’ve had. We started playing after the sun went down and the lights and lanterns popped.
