Rules

Check the sidebar, the FAQ, and search for your answer before making a post. We have lots of common questions with lots of common answers.
New Bass Day (NBD) and Gear posts go into the weekly threads. Posts made outside of the thread will be removed and asked to be reposted.
Don't use the sub to sell or advertise your gear (with very few exceptions, ask the mods). Use r/Gear4Sale for selling gear. Also, do not post links to giveaways where you personally benefit (getting more entries) by propagating (spamming) a link.
No memes, please.
SFW Only (duh).
Resist the urge to start "gig pic" "bass face" and "family photo" threads.
Requests for tab should be made in r/basstabs and will be removed from r/bass
Please tag video or audio of you or your band with [Feedback] in the subject line of the post.
Be nice.

We encourage you to report spam posts or posts that violate the rules, but please send a message to the moderators at the same time.

Similarly, please send any comments or critiques to the moderators.
