Evster2012 Posted June 5, 2008 Share Posted June 5, 2008 Nice! Those belong to the friend that disagrees with your other friend about hickory vs oak? That would be the one! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hickory Man Posted June 5, 2008 Share Posted June 5, 2008 That would be the one! I think you know which side I'll come down on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jimmie ray Posted June 5, 2008 Author Share Posted June 5, 2008 I think I'm going to try and get my old bass tuned properly, and just learn some simple scales before going back to the music store to test out the selection. I have a beginner bass book, but I don't see any tuning tips in it. Anyone have any, or a site that would help me? Thanks again! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matthew!

You can search "online bass tuner" on google, or something to that effect. You'll have to match notes, not too difficult. Might be a good idea to snag an electronic tuner at some point, to make things simpler. If the strings are old, you might want to install some new ones. I always stretch my strings a bit while I'm installing them, so they go out of tune less. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jimmie ray Posted June 6, 2008 Author Share Posted June 6, 2008 The music store I went to had many blues for the bass books, which came with a DVD or CD in the back pocket. But just went with a general beginner bass book. I know I'm asking alot of questions, but really haven't gotten started yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
