Posted on January 31, 2009 » Filed under: bass, tips and tagged: bassguitar, practice » 3 Comments »

Posted on January 9, 2009 » Filed under: bass, Gear and tagged: ampless, bassguitar, setups » 7 Comments »

Ever thought of playing without an Amp? The last set up in the Bass Amp Set Ups list is one that doesn’t use an amp at all – the ampless set up. Actually there is an amplifier, but it is just for some headphones, so it isn’t big and heavy to carry around.

Tips for Selling a Bass

Posted on January 5, 2009 » Filed under: bassguitar, Gear, tips and tagged: bass, bassguitar, selling, tips » 5 Comments »

Bass Strings – Basic Design

Posted on September 30, 2008 » Filed under: bass, bassguitar, Gear and tagged: bassguitar, strings » 2 Comments »

Choosing strings for your Bass can be quite stressful! Strings have a massive impact on your tone, and on your wallet too.

Posted on September 24, 2008 » Filed under: bass, Gear, interviews and tagged: accugroove, bassguitar, cabs, tips, tone » 4 Comments »

Choosing a Bass Cab – Part I

Posted on September 22, 2008 » Filed under: bass, Gear, interviews and tagged: accugroove, bassguitar, cabs, tips » 4 Comments »

Bass players have a choice of either a combo (All-in-one) or a stand alone bass cab. Either way, the cab (and the speaker within it) are the final link in the bass guitarist’s sounds chain. But how do you choose a cab? What do you look for? In looking for a source of sound advice […]
