Post #3401
just a kind of change in my taste of music brought the p bass because i was really into iron maiden and other heavy metal so i brought one because steve harris used one but now i am really into rush and geddy lee is a god and his jazz bass sounds awesome. the p bass is more one dimensional than the jazz bass in my opinion in that you can only really get one sound out of it
-

The Precision does only do one sound, but it's a good sound. You can usually get some good tonal versatility if you get a P/J. If you wanted to get that J tone, see if you can get that P routed for a bridge J pickup (as long as you don't mind modding your bass). Most of the Jazz's tone comes from the bridge pickup.
Then again, you could try and pick up a cheap secondhand Jazz.
-
Bro pbasses have tons of sounds. You got regular p, p with flats, p with rotosounds, p with a mute
Yeah that's about it
-
seriously though listen to the tone, half of it is in the fingers though i must admit.
-
geddy lee's tone isn't really jazz bass like somehow. Most of it is how hard he digs in, but a lot of it is in his amp
-
In that first video it's a P bassy kinda tone. In the second one though you can really hear the nasally tone of the Jazz bridge.
-
geddy lee's tone doesn't rely on the jazz bass. i'm thinking he plays one more for comfort because they are pretty much more comfortable than a p-bass.
geddy's tone is all about pulling REAL real hard on the strings with two fingers through a really hot amp that distorts easily.
if anything it sounds more like a Rickenbacker bass but those are uncomfortable as shit to play.
-
I like the neck on precisions better personally, but the sound of a jazz beats any precision. Geddy's tone is like a ric with more midrange punch
-
Sorry for the artistic filter bullshit but my guitars look damn sexy haha.

I bought an acoustic bass the other day. Spent just about all the money I have. No regrets. only hours of awesomeness.
Fender BG-31. No pictures because my phone is being weird. Got it used for 300. No nicks or missing parts or anything lol
-
I have an acoustic bass but I never play it
I probably should just sell it
-
My band recently played our first real gig (200 people and an hour long set!
) And I got some nice snaps of my PRS looking very pretty.
-
Can anyone help with trying to tune my guitar? Im trying to tune it to EGDDBD from standard, but Im not sure how to do it.
-
EGDDBD?
what's the problem?
keep your bottom E string the same, tune your A string down a whole step, keep your D string the same, tune down your G string 5 semi-notes, keep your B string the same, and tune down your top E string down a whole step.
-
finger the third fret on the low E string and match it with the A string, play an open note on the D and match it with the G, match the high E to either of the Ds
-
I cant get my A string down to a G, at least my tuner isn't reading it right or something.
-
semi-notes what
-
just tune down till it sounds good
-
Fun fact: google "semi-note" and this if the first pic you'll see
-
There are a lot of odd imaged for "semi-note".
-
Got myself a late birthday present
It's a P22 and it is amazing. I might take some better pictures later if anyone wants porn
-
you didn't lose all your limbs buying that, right? i mean you're still typing.
-
Agh my heart!
I had to drill into my explorer today to move the strap button, kind of worth it in the end though. No more neck dive.
-
you have that epiphone exp right? cos my friend had the same problem
i should do the same to my b.c. rich but i have no tools
-
Yeah the 1958 in ebony, beautiful guitar. Plays amazing but that neck dive was getting to me.
-
wow what the fuck
I've been practicing tapping with my middle finger instead of my index and now there's a blister there
Edited:
I'm disappointed in my finger
-
I usually tap with my middle or index finger, I find myself using my pick sometimes as well though.
-
I don't think I've actually done any tapping in a few years
-
It was one of the first techniques I wanted to figure out, it is funny now thinking of how simple it is to do but it wowed everyone when I did it.
-
yeah I figured it'd be better for what I like to play to get used to tapping with my middle finger rather than figuring out how to move the pick around in my hand
-
I've been teaching myself guitar, and I've ran into this kind of shit on some tabs. How the hell am I supposed to strum this?
-
pluck it using your fingers
-
mute things

A week ago, I was in the big apple, and on my birthday/ the day after, I saw Vinny Martell of Vanilla Fudge at B.B. King's.

Well I'm back from my ranch trip.
Brought along my band and we played all our music for a good 5+ hours. Everyone there went through an ounce of weed, 5 handles of tito's vodka, and I had 12 cuban cigars there. We broke the golf cart, popped a car tire, and blasted our music at 11. Everyone danced and went nuts for the entire 5 hours.
At one point we drove the golf cart and it broke in the middle of no where, so I was drunk as fuck and had to walk to the house and drive it out in the 500+ acres to get my friends and come back.
That's the time where you learn to never drink and drive.
I hope my friends have some recordings of the night. It was a 20 minute voodoo child of shit goin down.
-
I read this sentence at least six times and I still don't understand it
-
I honestly feel a permanent high right now. But I meant to say I had to drive a car out in the 500+ acres of land to get my friends and come back. I'll rewrite it.
I was drunk as fuck and we thought it'd be a good idea to play music whilst driving around the land. We went really far out and the golf cart broke/battery died. So we pushed it for a while but we were so drunk we almost puked, so I walked back to our starting point (a house) and got the car, drove it out to where the golf car twas, picked up my friends, and drove back.
-
Which strings do you guys feel last longer? I like the Ernie Ball's but they lose their brightness after a day or two.
-
D'Addario or no strings
-
d'addario or ernie ball
