I've had this problem for years. I think gear comes and goes as your musical tastes grows or changes. I personally like outboard gear. Only because I can pick it up and take it with me anywhere.
I picked up the bass back in 2004 and I'm still learning more and more. I'm old school so I had to learn from books and people teaching me. Taking lessons is a great way to start off. The amount of practice you put into it will be paid back in full with your skills. Basic theory and technique is...
Greetings to everyone. I have a few questions for android users and if anyone has any experience with midi connections with it. I'm trying to connect my android tablet to a few hardware devices I own. Mainly to send midi out to my drum machines. Some of these machines have usb and all of them...
One of the main reasons why I picked up a bass is because of hip hop beats. It can get boring and frustrating at times, but trying different techniques and formulas have always helped me. The best guide I have ever used is the circle of 5ths.
What are you listening to that came out this year? I understand this is a very vague question, however I wanna see what new albums, singles, EP's, whatever is out there. Can be bands from 19 forgotten and just made an album this year. And GO...

Analog gear is what I really like to use. Not because it's popular or there...
I really admire this guys approach. Creating music from nothing isn't easy at all. Every time I tell someone I'm in a band, the first thing they ask is, "what do you sing?". Like vocals are the only aspect that revolves around music lol. From the drums to the synths it's all hard work. I don't...
I gotta try that. Using the drum parts in the bass sections. Also I read up on tuning the drums to the same key as everything else. Tried that with my yamaha MR10 and a acoustic guitar. Brings an interesting light.
In no way am I a purist to either side, but I've been collecting more hardware within the past year. I look at software and it comes and goes really quick. I get notifications everyday to update something lol.
I pick up my bass and jam lol. That's the first thing I go for, however I use a program called tux guitar. It's a tabbing program, I'll write out my bassline in a tab format then convert it to midi. Then play around sounds from there.
