pharouh Posted January 1, 2010 Report Share Posted January 1, 2010 Another bass player here. I've been playing for (omg) 44 years. I should be better by now... Got two Fender Jazz basses. My pride and joy is a Noel Redding signature bass. I know it's Japanese,but hey,so is my truck! My amp is a Hartke 2500 with a cabinet I made. It's got 2 JBL E140's. old school,but so am I. check out the band at www.tophatblues.com . nice to know there's other musicians here. Quote Link to comment
FujiyamaMama Posted January 1, 2010 Report Share Posted January 1, 2010 Can you fix my Shure? It looks brand new but doesn't work cuz it sat in grandpa's closet for decades. Yeah I definately fix it. I'll clean it up a bit too if you want. Quote Link to comment
KELMO Posted January 1, 2010 Report Share Posted January 1, 2010 I been playin bass and six strings on and off for about 30+ years (and I still aint any good at it) Got a Fender Bassman 410 amp and use it as just a speaker for a Fender Bullet practice amp with chorus and metal drive effects, a Yamaha RGX420s, a Mesetro SG copy (got that so I could go as Angus Young for Holloween), a Memphis pbass (Fender copy), a hand made acoustic steel string and a cheap old acoustic nylon string.

fisch Posted January 1, 2010 Report Share Posted January 1, 2010 I'll sell you a Warlock instead. A warlock!! Purple you are more metal than I thought!!!! As a bunch of you know, I am into 60's early 70's Bizarre Japanese guitars. Victorias, Pans, Teiscos, etc. But back in the late 80's I dreamed of a warlock. So much so that I made one out of pine 2X6! (It looked the part but didn't sound the part!) A picture of it does exist with me in a metal pose with teased out aqua net hair! If I ever find it I will post! Quote Link to comment
fastdadd Posted January 1, 2010 Report Share Posted January 1, 2010 my son got a bass for his birthday.....maybe we can work something out so one of you can teach him how to play it Quote Link to comment
Figbuck Posted January 1, 2010 Report Share Posted January 1, 2010 I'll give you guys lessons for free. If you don't practice however, the deal is off. My teacher told me, " I can teach you everything there is to know about music in fifteen minutes. The problem is it will take fifteen years for you to understand it." He was wrong... it took me thirty years to figure out that it's up to you to teach yourself how the stuff works. A teacher can only guide you, help answer questions and maybe show you short cuts. It's up to you to do the work. I was at a party and was introduced by a friend that said I was a musician. The lady said, I used to play the piano when I was a kid I wish I still could, I have a really nice piano.. I ask, well how much do you play every day? She said, "I don't because I suck so bad." I said, sounds like you don't play, so you suck. If you sat down a half an hour a day you at leas suck less over time and maybe figure out how to work the thing. The late great Paul Delay used to quote Charlie Musslewhite: "Life is like a harmonica, Sometimes you blow and sometimes you suck." If you don't blow then you are gonna suck...

Phirus Posted January 2, 2010 Author Report Share Posted January 2, 2010 I miss my bass :crying: currently on the hunt for a new* Fender or something :w00t: Why would you want a fender bass at all? What a fail of the instrument industry, fender basses... If you want quality for cheap get a yamaha bass, or epiphone. If you got big money go buy a warlock or rickenbacker, or a yamaha attitude II.

That doesn't sound like a great idea, never go for Yamaha over a Fender. You just dissed one of the best basses you can get for under 1k. The best thing Fender ever made is their basses(with exception of the Toronado.) Rickenbacker is good for basses but dude Warlock? Ibanez is even better than Yamaha!!!! A P-Bass is a great bass. With that said we did just get rid of all our Fenders but we didn't opt for a Yamaha. I would say if you're going cheap go for Epiphone like an EBO or a Grestch Electro, or feeling vintage go for Delta or Norma. Or even Hondo made some good stuff but I would NEVER recommend Yamaha. EVER. Unless you like the feel of a 3 ft pencil. Quote Link to comment
Whoracle Posted January 3, 2010 Report Share Posted January 3, 2010 I dont play my drums anymore, but my little sister plays percussion in her school band and takes piano lessons. Maybe i should try and trade my Drum Works 5000 double bass pedal for some datsun parts :) lol Quote Link to comment

There's nothing wrong with Fender basses.They're almost an industry standard. As far as cheap basses go,I had an Aria Pro II a few years ago and I really liked it. Didn't cost a lot,and had a great tone. Lighter,too. each to his own I guess. Quote Link to comment

skunk Posted February 4, 2010 Report Share Posted February 4, 2010 man i had the head of a rouge bass just like that broke across my face at this gutter punk show back when i was squattin in DC. The band was playin in this small ass basment where Minor Threat first started playing, i was doin some thrash dancing (mosh pit for those of you who dont know what that is) and the band was in the middle of the room. the bass player got pushed right into me and the head of his bass got me right in the face. the top of the head broke right off and the hole room stoped when i spit out about a cup of blood. guy asked me if i was ok and i said "who the fuck stoped the music?" and when back to thrashing.
