    To read about one of mine, READ THIS POST on one of the best guitar players EVER!!!

  3. Welcome, Ola!

    Yea, Adam Clayton has helped U2 maintain a loyal following by playing a solid bottom-end for their many hits. Gotta give him credit there.

    Which bass do you play??

  4. That’s exactly what to do, Barbara! We musicians love to talk about our gear and what it does for us and to us, so send him on over! 😉

    Using any of my links takes you (or him) to the various music stores. They pay me a little but don’t charge you any more, so… we appreciate the patronage!!

  5. I love your post, there is so much information on basses that I never knew before, and anyone who plays a bass guitar at the moment and who is thinking of buying another would benefit so much from your post.

    My son plays the bass, and I know he is thinking of upgrading his guitar, so I will definitely be referring him this page.

    Very many thanks for your great info.

    Chrissie 🙂

  6. Kenechi, I’m glad you’re putting time in to learn this fantastic instrument. Please go through THESE HOW TO PLAY BASS POSTS. I’m sure they’ll help you get a firm foundation on this instrument so you can keep progressing.

    Yea, those two pickups give us a lot of variety. Keep pumpin’ out those low tones to keep us groovin’!!

  7. Still making my little sounds with jazz bass though it’s not been easy for me to learn it properly because I have no one here to put me through. I like jazz bass and I can’t quit. I don’t find it funny listening to instrumentals or some music without jazz bass I love it but perfecting it has not been easy for me. 

    I remember Geddy’s biggest selling album and I never knew why his album sold so well. Now I know more of the power of jazz bass and their is no need comparing it with any other instruments coz the jazz bass stands out and it’s unique on its own. I like the feature of jazz bass which is engineered with two pickups, and each of them having it’s own volume.

  10. I was browising the net looking for a present for my husband and I came across your site. I must admit I really don’t know much about music or musical instruments, but my husband is a singer and usician by profession and I was looking to find something special to get for him.I might not have gotten the point of all the things you cn do with the Fender Bass but you gave me some good ideas of what i could buy him.
