		<title>Buying Used</title>
		<description><![CDATA[So you saw that bass of your dreams on eBay/Craigslist/local newspaper, and costs much less than new. There may even be some pictures, and everything looks good. Should you buy it? Short answer: probably. Buying used can be a great way to get that instrument you&#8217;ve wanted that is slightly out of your budget new, [...]]]></description>

		<title>Rock Band Gets A Bass</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Mad Catz has released a replica Fender Precision Bass controller for Rock Band 2. Personally, I am terrible at Guitar Hero/Rock Band and would rather play a real guitar/bass, but to each their own. The Mad Catz bass guitar is larger and longer than a standard Rock Band guitar, and it features a split strum [...]]]></description>

		<title>Bass Multi Effects Pedals: Boss vs Line 6 vs DigiTech</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Multi Effects are cool. They are a lot of fun to play around with, and you can use them for computer recording. There are pretty much three catagories: really cheap crappy ones that aren&#8217;t worth the money, mid-level units that are often pretty good, and really expensive units that are &#8220;studio quality&#8221;. Today we are [...]]]></description>

		<title>The Great Debate</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Tubes or solid state? They both have their advantages and disadvantages, so which one should you go with? And yes, there definitely is a difference. Solid state is cheaper. That appeals to a lot of people, and for casual bedroom players, solid state is often enough. One of its advantages is that it actually responds [...]]]></description>

		<title>Beware of the Music123 credit card</title>
		<description><![CDATA[SD in New Jersey said: &#8220;I bought a guitar from Music123.com on August of 2007. As part of the promo for signing up with their Music123 Card, it was stated that an additional 10% will be deducted from my purchase price after 60 days.

		<title>New from Fender: Jaco Pastorius Fretless Jazz Bass</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Just released by Fender, behold the Jaco Pastorius Fretless Jazz Bass. This is a great sounding, extremely well-made instrument. The price tag reflects that, but if you can afford it, this is probably your dream bass unless you play death metal or something. Alder jazz bass body, 20-fret bolt-on maple neck, rosewood fretboard with dot [...]]]></description>

		<title>The Right Bass for You</title>
		<description><![CDATA[What makes a &#8220;great&#8221; bass guitar? If you ask every bassist, you would probably get a bunch of different answers. For me it is its &#8220;feel&#8221;. More specifically, the feel of the neck. You can always replace the pickups, try different strings, etc, but you need to like the neck. That Gibson Thunderbird does look [...]]]></description>

		<title>Playing Bass in a Band</title>
		<description><![CDATA[It gets on my nerves when people assume that bass is easier or requires less skill to play than a guitar. I think the beauty of the bass in any form (electric, acoustic, brass, upright) is that is can be as simple or as complex as you want it to be. You can get by [...]]]></description>
