Four Strings Only!

I am here for Networking

About Me

This is an EXCLUSIVE club for bass players who believe in the old school...laying down the bottom on a bass with four strings. BASSISTS ONLY please.Bassists who believe in putting it in the pocket, and giving your singer/soloist a train to ride on. Bassists who sometimes tastefully solo in the right places, or get a feature, but don't hoodely-doo all over the place and step on everyone else's toes. Bassists who toughen up their fingers, get their callouses, and don't use a pick! Bassists who don't use a bunch of effects and pedals. Bassists who don't feel the need to be playing chords through a chorus pedal when you have a B3 player and guitarist onstage. You know who you are! If you play more than four strings and use a bunch of effects, PLAY A DAMN GUITAR!!!!!! You don't belong in this club!

My Interests

I'd like to meet:

All four string bassists!

My Blog

Great Ray Brown interview from 1963

Tell us about your bass, Ray.The one I'm using on this tour is a small French bass made by Silvestre. It's about a 100 years old, violin shape with a swelled back. My best bass is an Italian around 20...
