I can see how 90% of a song is played in my head! So i take this time to browse at amazon and talk here! Amazon is cool because you can browse music and listen to clips! But i practice hands on about a hour a day then every other day is band practice. I use the down time to rest my fingers my back and my neck!

| | | Oh, this AGAIN!?  Do a search 
..seriously though - I only read and post when I'm at work (no computer at home) and like Baba said, the folks in my offfice wouldn't dig on bass playing here so I talkbass at work and play bass at home and the two have never ever conflicted. |

Why do you spend time at this forum when you can practice?
| Want a reason--here you go.
When I was 15 I loved the sound of bass guitar. I begged my parents for one and got a used bass for Christmas. Family was poor so lessons were out of the question and I didn't live close to any music stores. So without any information I tried for several months to make that darn thing sound like all the great basses I heard on my tapes (yes tapes at that time) to no avail. In fact I could barely get any sound out of it at all, and that which I got was a buzzy, rattling mess. I got frustrated and ended up selling the bass.
Flash forward 15 years. At 30, I finish school and can't shake the feeling that I need to play bass. So I use this new-fangled internet thing and discover TB. After months of reading I buy a bass. I come back to TB often and discover how to set-up my bass, tips for practice, advice on amps/cabs, and some of the nicest individuals I've met anywhere. I get more out of my bass playing, I stick with it, and now have a gig with the local cover band. 
How's that for a reason to spend time here?

Reason #2: because surfing for porn in my office at work also wouldn't give the right impression. |
