Me In The Distant Past

I’m Jerry, and I’ve been playing bass guitar for many years. I’ve had my fair share of ups and downs along the way. Over the years, I’ve learned that bass isn’t just an instrument – it’s the heartbeat of a band. Along with the drums, it holds down the rhythm and ties the whole band together. 

This site is built around everything I love about bass. I’ll have personal stories from my own journey as a bassist, reviews of bass guitars and gear, plus resources to help you become the best bassist you can be. Whether you’re here to fire up your passion, learn something new, or be inspired by the stories of iconic bass players, I’ve got something for you.

Gear is a big part of being a bassist – but knowing what to choose can be a little overwhelming. That’s why I offer in-depth reviews of bass guitars, amps, pedals, and accessories.

So if you’re looking for a new bass or wondering if that pedal really lives up to the hype, check out my reviews to get the inside scoop!

If you’re new to bass, you’ll quickly realize that it’s all about rhythm, groove, and tone. Whether you’re playing in a band or just jamming on your own, the bass guitar will always be your secret weapon for making great music.
