Just wanted to pipe in that I just bought one of the Rondo SX J-"style" (what does that even mean?? Is it not a legit J pickup?) pickup basses (the amp combo one) and by far the most useful site for learning I've found has been StudyBass.com

Something about the guy's writing is really clear to me, and he does a great job explaining basic music theory (I played jazz baritone sax for about 4 years a long time ago so it's nice to brush up again) and how to incorporate it into patterns using roots, fifths, octaves, etc.

One of my friends has a 4 channel amp so I'm going to go over and play a bit with a keyboard, guitar, and a FruityLoops drum track. My only concern is going to be recognizing chords as they transition. Does anyone have any advice on how to pick up on a chord progression besides just agreeing to an outlined bar set beforehand?

Also, how difficult would it be to put in an aftermarket pickup on a J-bass? It sounds like it's harder than working on P-bass circuitry...The only thing I've ever soldered in my entire life were the LPC ports on an Xbox ~3 years ago
