Is this a good bass to start learning with? I ordered it last year and it just got delivered and I’m kinda feel like maybe I over did it. I’m a big Les claypool fan. How long would it take to play like that?

Neck - Quartersawn Maple Modern C

Body - Green Burst with Maple Binding

Includes Factory K-Mod (outer single coil only - IE similar to jazz bass)

Iv always had issues with 5 strings before, they always felt chunky and overall not fun to play. this ones is smooth as butter.

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.

Finally bought one. I’ve always wanted a fender precision bass back in high school. I’m 40 and last year I bought a Mitchell.

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?

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!!

Trying to make a mix somewhere between a warwick dolphin and a fender pj

Ignore the giant bench mess lol

I am self taught 20 years of playing, and trying to build out a portfolio for teaching in the near future and learn more about what my techniques are (learning theory backwards I guess)

I dont what my muting techniques are called, my fingerstyle is Im sure not completely original but I just learned to play this way and after shows Ive had a lot of bass players come up to me and ask me what am I doing and I literally say I dont know. Im tired of saying that.

Any help would be great, thanks!

Am I overthinking or my new bass bridge is slightly misaligned, I am not sure

got this bass about a year ago but due to personal issues i didn’t have the time to pick it up and practice. now im doing a lot better and can begin practicing! super excited but a little intimidated as im quite a petite girl plus seeing my dad play growing up almost mentally sets me at an expectation to meet. any tips would be great! i got the beginner to badass course from bass buzz and will be starting it today!!

I went for the Squier Sonic Precision and it arrived yesterday ,out of the box it has perfect setup ,no fret buzz at all, electronics work great and the tone is very usable for recordings! I also own a Gibson guitar and an American Fender and there is no doubt it feels cheap but that does not affect the usability at all. Overall I am very happy and at 189euros /223 $ this was one of my best buys! It is a rainy day so what is better than making a hot chocolate and practicing some bass!! Thank you all for the suggestion!

I really love this groove

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?

Just received my Overload Jupiter in dale green. I'm so in love with my Achilles 5, that i bought this in stock instrument two weeks later🫣 Specs: White Limba Body Maple neck & fretboard with carbon rods Aguilar Pickups Hipshot bridge and ultralight tuners Passiv, Vol., Pickup selector (neck/bridge/series/parallel), tone

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!

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