Do You Play Here?

Sign in to disble this ad
What I mean by the title is, do you play bass while out and about on these forums looking at whatever is appealing? I for one do and i am playing as I type this so there will probably be massive amounts of errors. Do you play plugged in or unplugged like me?

Ya, I know kind of a weird question but I am bored.

lol, I usually surf at work (hello productivity!) But often times when I'm home, I'll check the site out inbetween jams.

Not at the moment. My cables aren't quite long enough to reach from the amp to my computer since everything is placed in iso booths to avoid messing with the mics when recording.

^^^^ Same here so I kind of go acoustic but it can be hard to hear with a fretless but it keeps the mind, heart, and hands going so...

I don't have internet at home, and though I have a bass at work my boss wouldn't like me playing it all 8 hours of the day, so generally I'm not playing when I'm on TB, no.

I get all charged up on TB thinking/dreaming about bass while I'm at work and rush home to grope my beautiful bass the second I'm off.
Then sometimes I log back on from home...plugged in too. Or I bust out the acoustic bass and piddle around while I look at TB/Craiglist/Ebay/and porn...duh...

You have a bass at work? What do you do for a living?

I'm an IT tech, but my boss is a very laid back guy.

Oh nice, same here. My boss is pretty laid back as well and plays guitar (we've jammed a few times). There's actually a Fender Eric Clapton Strat in a box next to my desk.

I might start bringing in my bass and headphone amp...

Yeah, the vice president of operations (my boss's boss) is a guitard, so we have jam sessions on Fridays sometimes for the people who stay after 4. It's a fun atmosphere.

I usually play while I'm on TB since my practice amp is right next to the computer and my bass is next to it. I'll put on some music and play along while I read posts and stuff.

Dude, I wish I could play at work but my work is inside of a huge building with no windows. I work at a plant that makes car seats for a mojor Japanese auto manufacturer so NO BASS!!! WORK!!! FASTER!!!

I can't really think of many jobs that let you play while working unless you are like a teacher or play for a living.

I'm surprised my bass has any finish left to it after my chair arms and desk like to rape it.
