Did you see who won the bronze, silver, and gold medals in this issue of Skin DEEP? What is Skin DEEP, you ask? It's our weekly game where we pay homage to the designers of the bass guitar. Never mind how they sound, never mind how expensive or inexpensive, never mind status and reputation. We just want to feature basses head to head and see who's got the LOOKS! Here are the
MEDAL WINNERS. e'll be starting up a new series soon enough, but you gotta be a member to vote. Sign up

By the way, I don't know if we've ever mentioned it, but we make every effort to keep Thunder Row completely free of spam. Nobody likes to participate in a forum where every third post is a link to some joker's porn website, or an ad for this or that great offer. Forget that! We do like to feature promotional material and/or Press Releases for artists who have new projects coming out, but it's all music-related, and all pre-approved for your enjoyment! Like
THIS ONE for example. Bassist and friend to Thunder Row, Bryan Beller, and his band, The Aristocrats, have a new album coming out, so we're happy to give them some space to let people know!
So you will never be bogged down in spam, all member sign-ups to Thunder Row are approved through a manual vetting process. It takes a little longer than when signing up for some other forums, but your ultimate acceptance means you will be joining a family-friendly, spam-free community. And should someone with spammy intentions accidentally slip under our radar, their membership will be deleted - without exception - upon the first spam post. Of course, if you have purchased TMBG and enter the special code in your registration, your membership is automatically approved!
Okay, enough about our iron-boot policy on spam. Let's get back to the good stuff.
Our
FINGERBOARD EXERCISE video helps you learn the notes on the fretboard of your bass. As you watch the video, see if you can call out the names of the notes before they are revealed. The more you do the exercise, the better you'll get!
