That's a great list.
I would also add electrical tape and heat shrink tubing of various sizes. If your going to solder you may as well do it right, and safely and insulate the work.
Also if...

Basically I agree with Roy, you do what is right for the song and the situation.
BUT, I have never heard a group do a song live the same way they record it. And sometimes I have said, if we...
It is a gem, enjoy playing it. I said the same thing about the action and playability when my Carvin arrived. My Fretless has the quilted emerald green too.
Carvin builds a fine instrument for...

Thanks for the recommendation. Downloaded the sample to my Kindle yesterday, and just bought the book. It's a good format for the Kindle.
It brings together lots of great info some of...
I copied the DVD to the netbook the first time I went away with the bass, but now I just use the Tascam to record to an mp3 file the loops that I currently working on. I recorded most of the band...
I just got back from a long July 4th weekend in the PA mountains with friends. Took my Fretless and Tascam GTR-1 and kept on practicing. I ripped the "band" stuff to the GTR-1 from lesson 10 and...
Stick with Roy and keep praticing, you'll get there.
Slap is at lesson 9 and and your fingers will learn to fly the funk in lesson 10.
First clean the jack as others have said. I do this also every so often. If that does not solve the problem the contacts themselves could be loose.
Take a few pictures of the guts of your bass...
Love the tone.
I tuned and checked my tuning the same way.

The biggest adjustment for me when I got my fretless was note position. My fretless has lines which helps alot, especially when jumping. When you finger a note like A on the E string. On...

I switched to flatwound strings many years ago. I like the smooth clean sound it provides and lots less clang, buzz, and scratches.
Some people think the flats are too dull, or lack...
I think that sharing how we practice is a good thing. My routines have come from many other people sharing what they do. I come to Thunder Row to learn from others, and to share when I can.
I also try to practice at least 5 days each week, sometimes I get to do 7 days but the extra days more likely only 1/2 hour. Most days it's an hour, and weekends, I try for two hours. My routine is...
I use the Tascam GTR-1. It is a CD quality recorder also, so you can record stuff even if you do not have the mp the mp3 file.
The Tascam GTR1 plays Wave files and MP3. I ripped all the CD's that...
I have the same problem. I have no problem applying the newly learned knowledge and skill to new material, but the stuff I already know is difficult to change.
You have already learned the...
I also got back into music many years ago, this time took lessons starting on guitar then bass. In some ways I wasted my lessons by not practicing effectively. I have been playing for many years...
Scales are the foundation, everything comes from scales, so you need to know your scales, and I think scales come first.
Cord tones are simply parts of the scale. 1,3,5,7 and for minor flat the 3...
