practice

I have recently quit my band ( because dickheads) and have decided to sharpen my game and put together a little project that will be far to big, too ambitious and likely to die when I m about about 1/3 the way through. BUT AIM BIG! So here tis: I will put together a list of 100 songs and learn...

I got this idea from seeing guitar styled practice backpacker. It won't be functional for any other than practicing hand technique, endurance, just something to mess around on, and easy to go package. I'm going to be building this on a very low budget. Here are some designs that I did...

I'm trying to figure out a way to structure my practice periods. I do have a general plan of what I do: work with a metronome, transcribe various things, jam with a drum machine or programs like Band in a Box etc. I try to work 15 minutes on, 5 off with a stopwatch. For example, right now...

Well, my wife took the hints and I got a nice little 40W Eden N8 for my birthday today. I have to admit for size and cost, this little amp sounds fantastic. Nice and flat and can cope with the low B at (home) practice volumes no problem. Very impressed for under £70 :thumbup:

Thought I would pass on some of the practice techniques i've been doing- they are great for finger independence and learning scales better! Heres one for intervals of thirds- im using the devil tablature to show which fingers im using and so you can simply transpose it to differnt scales...

Sure I've asked this before but can't remember the answer, or find it with the search! I'm after a small cheap practice amp for the house. I've currently got a Peavey guitar amp with my bass pod going into it, but it sounds crap. Anyone got any recommendations?

Hey all i am looking for an amp for practice at home only. I am thinking either the 30W or 60W blue cab... the 60 is only about $50 more. Anyone had experience with these? Recommendations? Cheers!

This may be a topic better suited for a different forum on here, but I thought I'd give it a shot in here. I am looking for a good practice amp. I have a 300 watt head with a 2x10 cab and I like it a lot. It sounds great with my passive Corvette Standard 4, but it is not all that portable as...

i have been searching these forums for similar topics and debating for a while where to put this and this place seemed the most appropriate. i used to be in a pretty decent prog metal band and could shred pretty well. a bad turn of events crushed me and well, now i am starting all over...

again, i got the idea off of the talklbass forums, thought we could do one here as well. show us the stuff you use to practice with. go ahead, lets see 'em!

I'm kind of a night owl, and like to play the bass at night; but for some reason my wife and 3 daughters don't appreciate my bass playing nearly as much at say 1 am. So, I would like to find something that I can plug my bass, my cd player or iPod, and headphones into. Something that can also...

Just wondering how long to people practice for on bass? At the moment I try and get at least an hour a day playing. I consider myself an intermediate level. And sometimes I find it hard how to know how to progress with my playing! Is it just down to practice and working on your weaker points...

My fender rumble 100 is distorted and the sound comes in and out like a bad cable. I have tried 2 different cables and 3 basses and it is definitely the amp. The amp is less than 3 months old but past the 30 day grace period. Is this something I can look at or should I take it in for repair at...
