playing

An opportunity has presented itself for me to use my Warwick Rockbass Corvette! A fren of mine who has been regularly playing at a restro-bar asked me to fill in for the bassist who has gone home for the next two weeks. I am not entirely new to the scene, having filled in for the same bassist...

Playing the upright bass! (string swing content!) End of Aigust/September this year i started playing the upright bass, because two guitarists in my class who already had a string swing-duo needed someone to play bass. I've wanted to play upright for ages, and there was my chance. I told my...

I've been up at uni for a week, sans bass for resits, (bass is distracting i needed to revise!) its really bad that all i can think off is playing bass. I'd go so far as i'm going through with drawl from it. Don't get me wrong i'll go a while without playing it, and while i don't really want...

The lead guitarist from my band volunteers for an army youth club, and he managed to get us a gig playing on the final night of their Summer Camp. There was about 30-40 kids (age range between 6 and 17 years old) and they were awesome!! They were jumping around like crazy, dancing to every song...

Hi all. Wonderful little forum you have here. I have been reading a while, and finally got my hands on my first 'wick (Corvette std. 5, bubinga). I know...photos to come...photos to come... First of all I love my new slab of wood. However, I have found that there are completely different...

So I posted a message in a topic and mentioned my tendonitis and florin commented we should start a campaign or something. Dunno if he was kidding on that part but I'm starting it. So who here has problems with tendonitis when playing and what do you do to cope with or fix it?

I do music tech at uni and as part of it we learn studio techniques and are required to write, record and produce a track. The bass line wasn't anything special just 8th notes, but it was at 183 bpm. It was only after recording and re listening how uneven my attack was with my fingers...

...Okay, maybe not sick, I just really LOVE this tone. Poster lists Tony Franklin Signature, and a Basstard OKKO pedal for additional gain. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tbyCFlwzaTw https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l9djDf7S2xQ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IZdUN9m5VMU

hey, i found THIS that looks like a bubinga corvette, right ? seems like it has an additional neck pickup...

So I found a couple of videos that have an example of a technique that I can't figure out. I'm sure its something simple that I'm just not getting. It sounds like they are muting out the note then when they bend it the note gets louder. I know that they are not using any kinda of volume...

its the first time i played thru a head an cab (head is ampeg svt 4 pro - its 1600 watts mono, and cab is a 300 watt 2x12 Hartke pro) ... ive had it for less than a week, and just awhile ago, i played LOUD in front of it. it wasnt as defeaning as guitars or cymbals but after like 30 seconds of...

I'm learning how to read and get my theory down. I just bought a book and have just been trying to suck up all this information. Its pretty boring but its for the sake of my career of being a session player, and its also just really good to know. I've been told that I can play, but now I...

I was wandering... How many of you, when impaired play worse than when sober? Attribute it to the dirty rocker in me, but I recorded myself last night when drunk, and messed up on my script, and listened to it tonight, sober, and realized I play just a tad bit better when impaired! I...
