Thanks Dan and you were the inspiration for the club. I ha e to try one of those loopers looks like so much fun

Ideal club for me. I write instrumentals, mostly because I don't have the slightest faith on my vocals

Play the guitar myself, program drums and keyboards myself.

Number please

I currently have 7 and 1 six string

1. Fender P

3. Ibanez SR 300
4. Raven West 4 string
5. Raven West 8 string
6. Epi Toby
7. Honer P fretless
8 Squier Bullet Strat

Overkill, but I love em and want more

I just have a red Ibanez GSR 200l, but I'm plotting the purchase of an ABG. Side note, I've only been playing for 15 days shy of a year.

**mjac28** · #**105** 12-19-2012, 08:48 PM

Congrats on your progress we will have to celebrate your first year how does it feel almost a year later?

Casting Thunder · #**106** 12-20-2012, 09:35 AM

It feels really good, I like where I am. Everything is still new and exciting; and I've learned to brush off questions like "when are you going to join a band?" and "why aren't you taking lessons?!"

When I got my bass (1/3/12) was only the second time I'd ever held a bass. I didn't know anyone who played bass and was totally clueless beyond the animistic need to make this sound. Now I have about 1/16 of a clue. There is so much to learn but I don't have to know it all to be a good bass player.

**mjac28** · #**107** 12-20-2012, 10:19 AM

I agree I think people who can read music and know chord progression are phenomenal at this point in my life I don't think that information would benefit me.

danharris · #**108** 12-21-2012, 12:01 AM

Hey casting thunder, I also have a GSR200. i love it. with some nice strings (D'Addario) and a half decent setup, it plays just as nice as some SR's with double and triple the price tag. if your not comfortable setting up your own gear, pay the local guitar shop guy 50$ to do it, then stick around and ask some questions, he'll show you what hes doing and why. its easier than putting new brake pads in a Chevy. I learned back in the early 90s (pre internet) from guitar player magazine. it was in my high school library, it had all the factory specs for old fenders gibsons gretchs, you name it. way to awesome to simply borrow. somehow it found its way into my bedroom and the rest is history. go gas your abg, but keep that old GSR around, they are worth it.

**mjac28** · #**109** 12-21-2012, 09:19 AM

If you do a search for setups there is a ton of information on this forum.

Cool, have you tried flat wounds stings on it? I'm getting new strings for xmas and want to try flat wounds but I hear you can only go up to a .45 gauge with the GSR nut.

Geroi Asfalta · #**111** 12-23-2012, 04:43 PM

I'm in. I play for myself mostly. My first gig almost ended up being me and my Jazz Bass on an otherwise empty stage.

Merry Christmas All

bushwhacker · #**114** 12-24-2012, 11:27 AM

To my fellow Wolves;
I was enjoying my latest Christmas present , a new Fender Bassman 100T with the 115 Neo Cab, and my wife thinks it is way overkill as I play in the library, since I did not need a performance sized amp. She thought my little Peavey 110 was more than enough. I just love the tone of the Fender, I keep it at 25 watts, but could go to 100 if needed, love the vintage/overdrive channels and the ability to really change tone, and since I played a Bassman back in the 60's it just looks and sounds right, like I have come back to my roots when I play my 66 P bass through it.
That got me wondering- what do my fellow lone bassists use for their home amps? Practice amps, power stacks or something in-between? Please share your amplifier choices, I think this could be interesting to us all.

Chromer · #**115** 12-24-2012, 12:07 PM

I've only been playing bass for about 3 months, it is coming along though. Thing is I'm far too antisocial to be in a band, and not nearly wealthy enough to hire one, so Lone Wolf it is. Here's a taste of what I get up to:

http://soundcloud.com/machinery-of-desire/suffragette-city

As for what amp? None. Direct into audio interface, tone shaping via plugins. Monitor via headphones or my nearfields...

Can I get a number please?

Casting Thunder · #**116** 12-24-2012, 12:55 PM

My amp is a Fender Bronco 40, that thing is a computer.

**Reprise** · #**117** 12-24-2012, 01:09 PM

This club sounds like it was meant for me - at least right now. If I start getting more social, I'll turn my number back in.

A couple of replies to recent posts...

- I spend time between a couple of places, and travel some for work.
- Home: GK RB700 II into a Neo 112
- 'other' home: Hartke Kickback 15"
- travel: Acoustic B20 or an Ampkit (Peavey's version of an iRig).

Basses: (this is my weakness...I've been succumbing to GAS lately...
- Ibanez Musician
- Fender 'frankenjazz' (w/ 'P' neck)
- Spector Performer
- MIM Fender Precision
- Spector Forte 5
- Spector Spectorcore fretless 5'er
- Clement # 249 (fretless 5er)
- MIM Fender Precision Special (FSR Seafoam Green Pearl)

I'll take a number whenever convenient.
Happy Holidays to all!
Thanks!

**mjac28** · #**118** 12-24-2012, 03:55 PM

I will get you a number sir and welcome. I play thru a Mesa M3 Carbine Combo and I love it.

tomnomnom91 · #**119** 12-24-2012, 05:26 PM

Hey all, this is a decent club for me. I do play in a band for fun/as a vehicle for road testing my original material, but my playing is primarily for my own enjoyment. I play bass, guitar and drums, and I'm working on an album. I will get a friend to sing on it, but everything else is going to be me.

I've always been made to feel like a bit of an outcast for wanting to do everything for my own sake, so it's good to know I'm far from the only one who has the same attitude as me. Despite everything being for my own enjoyment, I still take everything absolutely seriously and am 100% committed to my development as a musician. Maybe one day I'll be in a band of like-minded musicians, but if not, that doesn't bother me.

I'd appreciate a number too, when convenient.

Merry Christmas everyone!

Merry Christmas everyone!

Revel in it. No one is going to care about getting the details of your material right more than you, and it's the cumulative effect of all the little details being right that takes things from good to "special."

Merry Christmas back at yah!
