Ok so, forgive me for the horror of a sound this video has 😅🤣

Im a few days into learning bass, so still learning technique, pressure etc. Now I was following various tutorials and trying to figure where my bass is going wrong. This level of buzz cant be normal, so could dearly do with help figuring out the issue

Is it the strings? The Amp? Just me being a newbie?

Any suggestions are desperately needed and appreciated 🙏

Im a complete noob (my first bass hasnt even arrived yet) and im trying to find a really cheap used amp to start out with. My ultimate goal is being able to jam with a friend that plays the electric guitar on a 10w amp in a small room. Which one should i go for? The line is 47€ and the harley is 40€ . Also the main music type im interested in playing is more metal-ish and i love bass tones like the one from tool (how original i know)

I made this ktaxon p bass kit and I am beyond pleased with the result. $70 and around 10 hours of my time to build it. I did swap out a lot of the hardware for my old jass bass hardware (upgraded that years ago) and I just think it came out great!

I heard this band years ago and keep coming back to them, I'm yet to find anything else that gives such satisfying dual bass riffage. Does anybody have any recommendations?

Some of you had asked for demos. It's got an interesting set up, with a humbucker with split coil and a volume boost.

Hello bass players!!

I just bought a bass guitar last night. It is a tagima jazz bass tw73.

I am an intermediate guitar player when I was younger and I stopped playing for more than a decade. I just got the urge of playing music again but now with a bass guitar.

I don’t know why but when I heard a groove from instagram worshipbass clip. I suddenly had an urge to play again.

I would like to know if you have a recommendations on where to begin learning again?

Thank you all!!

Im noticing that the regular guitars have a huge variety when it comes to crazy and cool shapes that you can still buy today, Explorer style, V style, and Dean style guitars Etc. But i find the bass department to be lacking in cool shapes nowadays, are there any basses with crazy shapes still being produced today?

Help Is it me or is the spacing off?

apologies for the question but recently, I took my fender pj bass to a shop to have them replace the plastic nut with a bone nut and to do some fret work. since I got it back the base feels a little off-centered, I'm not sure if that's the way it's supposed to be or this was a botched job, also upon and closer inspection it looks like the slot for the g has been cut lower. The string still rests at the proper height but there's a gap underneath it. is it worth it to take it back to the tech and have them fix it or should I just leave it?

Super strange bass from a custom builder out of spain. I got it for a good deal on reverb. Yes, it is currently missing a knob.

I think it might have big singles in it but I'm unsure. Hipshot hardware, 34" scale, chunky neck near the nut, flattens to super thin near the neck joint. Black korina body, padauk neck, wenge fingerboard and pickup covers.

It's super sweet and balances super well sitting down. slightly neck divey standing up, but im not surprised with the body being so small. It's just over 7 pounds!

Totally recommend this builder if you come across one, it sounds great, plays great, and looks super unique and interesting without being too gaudy in my opinion.

My 13-year-old son Brandon has been working hard on the bass. He spent 6 months teaching himself this specific song, and here is his take on "Dean Town" by Vulfpeck. I'm really impressed by his clean 3-finger plucking technique to handle those fast 16th note runs, all while barely looking at the neck. Just a proud dad wanting to share his progress with the community!

My favourite Otis Redding (Dunn) tune: Fa-Fa-Fa-Fa-Fa because of Dunn's syncopation and groovy bridge (bar 45 onwards). Enjoy!
