I played double bass for 12 years before being crippled by tendonitis. I switched to a stuart spector fretless four string several years ago it was the 12th bass made by ssd after reopening in 1994(?) but never played it much and sold it to help pay for a piano. -sorry guys

hmm...not many bassplayers here

Well, I´ve been spreading the good bass-vibes for about 28 years.

My Ibanez-bass have been my close friend from the start...she had a few years on her back before I bought her. Only the strings have changed once in a while.

My heavy Fender amp have been in the family for 23 years. I had a monster Peavey until my heart fell in love with the great sound from my Fender.

I´ve allways been swinging in bands. 6-7 different bands.

My latest project have been going for 8 years. We meet once in a week. The style is mostly rock...with a touch of pop

. Homemade lyrics and music. Setup is bass, drums, keyboards, guitar and song.

Here´s the weekly snakefarm...lol

A little thread bumpin' goin' on....

Picked up a low end acoustic bass today for the woodshed...evilbay purch (again dammit, I can't resist, stuff is cheap!) Its got more plywood than a trailer park and the neck is actually four different pieces of wood lammed together (those guys in Indonesia are so damn clever with the wood glue!) Crap, this thing is going to warp like crazy this winter....

Its got s*%t electronics as well....passive garbage..... might have to replace those.

I complain... but can you believe it?.. she sounds true enough. Never had a 'beach bass' before, but there will be some rowdy campfire music coming up soon.

It came with these trippy black (nylon?) flatwound strings.... I've never played anything like that before (except for a classical guitar). They sound really good with no amplification and add good volume. Anybody know what these are about?

Long Live the Indonesians!

I play, but that's it. I don't learn to play it, never took a lesson or tried to give myself any.
I just sit and noodle on my 91(jap) fender 4 string.

well, a bump and a slap and a pop for me old thread from way back

Proud bass player here! Been playing for 6 or so years now and beginning to get the general idea. No more flashy slap/pop stuff for me, my goal nowadays is to get "in the pocket" and stay there getting the heads bumping and the ladys' dancing

I have a passive Warvick Corvette bass, the sound is nice and cuts through the nastiest guitar walls.

Too many favourite players to list, I'll stick to my top five (in no particular order)

Jaco Pastorius - Undeniable sense of harmony combined with solid groove. Jazz or Funk, Jaco is the man

Stuart Zender - Used to play in jamiroquai. Tracks like Travelling Without Moving always blow me away, I tend to ignore the rest of the band when listening to jamiroquai

- Justin Chancellor - Bass player for Tool. One of the most creative players out there today. Wonderful use of untraditional effects such as whammy and various bass synths.

- Trevor Dunn - Bass player for Mr. Bungle and others. When the band you play in changes between genres like Jazz and Thrash metal in one song you really need to be something special. The self titled album "Mr. Bungle" from 1991 is one of the most unpredictable records I've ever heard, not to mention "Disco Volante" from 1995. Not for everyone..

Charles Mingus - Often credited for his songwriting/bandleader abilities rather than his bass playing. I think he has one of the most distinct Upright bass tones there is. A huge influence on me. If you are new to Jazz I suggest "Mingus Ah Um" from 1959.
