I'm wondering if anyone has any thoughts on a tuner to use while gigging. I don't (yet anyway) have a 5-string, so I end up having to drop my E to play a low Db on some songs and I would like something that has a pretty fast response and is easy to read. Rack mount or pedal, really doesn't matter. Thanks! </p> http://playbassnow.com/bbpress/topic.php?id=330#post-1057 Thu, 22 Dec 2011 16:46:39 +0000 scrollbass27 1057@http://playbassnow.com/bbpress/ <p>Not for nothing, Fender Squier basses are pretty awesome now a days! You can pick up a pretty decent 4 string Jazz for around $250 or so. When you're ready, changing out the pickups to active is a breeze and pretty inexpensive too. Hope that helps! </p> http://playbassnow.com/bbpress/topic.php?id=330#post-1053 Sat, 03 Dec 2011 06:11:30 +0000 jopa 1053@http://playbassnow.com/bbpress/ <p>Hi guys! I've been playing bass for about 3 years now, and the bass i currently have is a second-hand aria pro from japan. Recently I've been having problems with it since after almost every song it goes out of tune. It is second-hand so its no surprise. I'm not that rich, maybe I can spend up to $250 max. I've looked up cheap basses and so far the only thing that caught my eye is the Yamaha RBX 374. </p> <p>What basses could you suggest? Thanks! </p> http://playbassnow.com/bbpress/topic.php?id=315#post-1035 Wed, 23 Nov 2011 13:04:42 +0000 dirac 1035@http://playbassnow.com/bbpress/ <p>Hi after watching the lessons on the Dorian mode I have been practicing it loads. I was wondering what songs would be good to jam over with this scale (if that's something you can do). If not are there any ways I can practice this with some sort of backing track?</p> <p>Cheers in advance! </p> http://playbassnow.com/bbpress/topic.php?id=305#post-1025 Tue, 22 Nov 2011 20:29:39 +0000 coastalbassplayer 1025@http://playbassnow.com/bbpress/ <p>HI, I 'm the new guy.

The problem here is that all of my friends that have s string bass realise that after some time the fretboard is no longer straight.</p> <p>Can anyone help me to get one that will not develop this problem or is it because of the weather here in Africa.</p> <p>Thanks. </p> http://playbassnow.com/bbpress/topic.php?id=282#post-989 Mon, 05 Sep 2011 04:29:00 +0000 Paul Annis 989@http://playbassnow.com/bbpress/ <p>Hi guys, I'm new here and really new to bass as such, I've played with many bass players over the last 20 years as a drummer and know what difference a good rig makes. I'm looking at getting a rig for my studio/myself to use while I recover from spinal surgery (I'm a drummer/recording engineer) and am really interested in the Terror Bass series, as I don't like clinical cleans is it looks/and from what I've heard and read like it would be a great studio rig and a great live rig but I'm just wondering if the 1000 watt version would give you any usable extra headroom over the 500 watt, mainly for clean's I guess?</p> <p>I am thinking of either of the set-ups below - </p> <p>Terror Bass 1000 with the SP410 cab<br /> Terror Bass 500 with the SP 212 cab or may be even x SP212's</p> <p>I'd really appreciate any feedback you guys have, I'm a loud drummer so I know the importance of having a capable rig live, I also know the importance of buying wise first time round. I'm a classic rock, blues kinda guy, I do like funk as well, classic disco, Jacksons etc so I slapping and so on is in the mix (when I learn how to!!!) but as a drummer I have never cared for tweeters on bass rigs.</p> <p>Cheers</p> <p>Paul </p> http://playbassnow.com/bbpress/topic.php?id=278#post-987 Sun, 28 Aug 2011 06:53:20 +0000 soporific 987@http://playbassnow.com/bbpress/ <p>I use a Tascam GB10.

So I realized today there in no more "Random Lick". For me (and I supose for more visitors) this resources is very important, because we can watch some styles and topics that we usually would not access. SO, my suggestion is Random Lick back ASAP, it is a great tool.

Tried the Hofner, and really liked it... it was very light... but I liked the Epi's tone knobs over the Hofner's switches (no adustability, just on or off) and I liked the Epi's neck slightly better, too. I'm enjoying playing it through my "new" Peavey Mark IV. </p> http://playbassnow.com/bbpress/topic.php?id=6&page=4#post-982 Thu, 11 Aug 2011 08:23:35 +0000 Skovbakke 982@http://playbassnow.com/bbpress/ <p>I play a Warwick Streamer Std.

I did take the time to listen to the recording.</p> <p>You my friend have some very serious timing issues that will prevent you from working in the music industry if that happens to be your chosen vocation.</p> <p>I did not "like it" one bit.</p> <p>It' really pointless to offer any suggestion as far as how to resolve this problem you are having but I will try in the interest of contributing to this forum</p> <p>I suggest you stop playing for a while and see if the bad habits you have picked up go away if you dicide to resume doing "music" again. Most likely they will return and it will be a trainwreck all over again.</p> <p>I would also suggest that during the time you do not play try and study art, painting, poetry, writing or whatever, You may be better suited to a lower art form. You might as well learn the basics of math while you are at it.</p> <p>On the other hand but one percent of the jootube audience held my point of view. What the hell has this world turned into? I surrender.</p> <p>NYC </p>
