Go into any advice thread and look at all the replies that basically say the same thing. People just can't be bothered to read any post other than the original or people knocking their post.

Fair enough, I agree that can happen sometimes, but why the negativity ?

At least people are being decent enough to offer their advice and experiences. IMO, the people here on TB are more than generious with their time and advice.

So what, if a few posts are duplicated ? Better to have that, than no replies/answers at all.

What is the song by the way?
Thanks. And it's "20 Eyes" by Misfits, but we're playing it quite a bit faster than the studio version.

Lighter attack, and more volume. Let your amplifier do it's job.

If your playing finger style, try a 3finger technique:

Is your amp loud enough? That would be my first thought.

Just keep playing and practicing. You'll build up strength and endurance. Same thing happens to me when I set the bass down for awhile.
