Pretty simple, and ive got a feeling that talkbass is gonna beat play bass.

im on here more than i practice, but thats because i typically log three hours on here at school plus some at home.

i gotta go practice...

I try to play every day

I usually play, and play hard about an hour before I go to sleep. It helps me get to sleep actually. I'm on the compjuter atleast 2-3 hours when I do get on. The sad thing is I do the same things every day... heres my routine...

I Talkbass more. Kind of hard to play the bass at work!

Keeaumoku · #7 01-19-2006, 11:28 PM

I generally put-in about 2 hours of practice 3 - 4 evenings per week. Then I'm gigging on either Friday or Saturday nights... sometimes both, and an occasional week night gig... but not too many of those. Band practice is about 4 - 5 hours on Sundays... usually starting around 1 p.m.

Given the number of posts I've made in a little over a year, one can tell I don't spend a whole lot of time on TB, but I'm damn glad TB is here, 'cuz this forum has been very helpful for me!

Sadly, talkbass

Last fall I spent a shocking amount of time here. I was definitely on here a lot more than I was sitting down to play an instrument. Now that the holidays are over, I've settled back into my practice routine and I still probably spend equal amounts of time playing and TB'ing. I think it's refreshing to take a break from your instrument once in a while. It helps keep me balanced.

OOOOMFF!!! Wow! I TalkBass more than I play. I gotta get practicing. This thread was like a kick in the gut!

KeithBMI · #13 01-22-2006, 09:16 PM

I think I Talkbass more.

But when I jam... I jam for hours.

It's probably even.

ladros2 · #14 01-23-2006, 02:49 PM

Whenever i Talkbass, I have a bass in hand. I also play it away from the computer more than I'm on it.

Wesley R · #15 01-23-2006, 03:05 PM

I would practice 3-4hrs per day, sometimes 6. When variouse band sittuations came up, an additional 2-4 per day. This did not include jamming time or gig time a little later. When I was gigging heavy (by my schedule) practice time decreased.

Now, 1/2hr a week of practice, occassional jams and a rare gig

Best of Luck,
Wesley R.
