It’s been awhile since we last did a MXTabs.net Music & Musicians Forum Roundup, so I thought I’d take the opportunity today to pilfer through the ever-growing number of MXTabs.net Forum topics and share some of the recent highlights with our blog readers. First up is a little “game” for bass players, called Around the World in Bass.
