I play in an indie/lofi folk band, and I run my bass through a rumble 40 that I prop up on a chair. It’s been fine for coffee shops and intimate shows but I am nervous for some of the bigger venue shows I have coming up. The issue is that I can’t afford a better amp as I am a broke student. Do you think the di at the back is sufficient or I should try to leach off other bands? We don’t usually play with a drummer but are thinking about getting one for the live band.

I have recently got into animal collective and as a bassist I am always curious as to who is playing bass on the records I listen to. Who is the main bassist in the band?

I want to get into looping, what looper pedal would y’all recommend?

If you use an Earnie ball strap on your bass, what way do you like to have it, logo on the horn it at the bottom of the bass? If this makes sense. I took mine off to do some work on my bass and went to put it on and realized I was not sure which I liked more.

I have gotten really into Stefan Lessard from the Dave Mathew’s band and I am wondering if anyone who is also a fan of his playing can point me in the direction of his craziest lick, live or on record. When I find a new bassist I am studying I like selecting something super complex to work through. This might be a niche request but if you can help me out, let me know!

I have gotten really into dmb, and it’s almost Friday so I am planning on smoking a joint and watching a live concert. Can anyone help me out?

I have gotten really into dmb and I am wondering if there are any studio tracks that have a bass solo in them? Stefan is an insane player and I am really wanting to learn some solos by him!

I play bass in a lo-fi folk band right now, but my background is in jazz and prog music, now that I am going down to the basics I am realizing my knowledge on how this all actually works is lacking. Are their any books you would recommend I read on harmony or the deeper workings of music? Not an exercise book, something more like a traditional textbook that would help me grow my knowledge?

I play in a lo-fi folk band and we have a bunch of house shows coming up but we need to figure out some sort of pa system or something to amplify our guitarist who plays acoustic as well as our singer. Any ideas that won’t break the bank?

I am in a lo-fi folk band and we have some backyard and house shows coming up in a few months, the issue is we have no real way of amplifying our singer or guitarist (they play an acoustic). Does anyone have any cheap recommendations? Also check out our band! We are called aphrodesia and have a single out on all platforms.

I am a huge phish phan and am wanting to incorporate more of Mikes playing style into mine but I am not sure where to start. Anyone who has tried to achieve this, do you have any advice?

It might just be the scene I am in, but every time I see a local band, the bassist is always playing a short scale, mostly a fender mustangs is there a short scale trend going on right now?
