Be a great bass player

Hey guys. Thought I'd share this with you all, I know you all need to brush up on your playing haha

http://www.overnightbassplayer.com/

I especially love these bits:

"Playing Bass Guitar Is An Easy, Inexpensive Instrument To Play"

"You don't have to spend long frustrating hours learning to play!"

"Feel and Look Great Playing in Bands"

"Become An Awesome Musician That People Can't Get Enough Of!"


Enjoy!

Oh thank heaven! Finally someone can explain a better way to set up my hand. Jamming that tiny allen wrench under my fingernails all this time is just getting to painful!

"When you pick up your bass and hit the stage you become the Red Hot Superstar that lurks inside you. Bass Guitar is one of the hippest instruments to play, ever."

Lol! Can't totally disagree with that statement...

"You are in charge of the low end which is VERY powerful when played at full volume."

The sad part is that a night is about as long as it takes to become an average rock bassist.

what's even cooler is when i do it while drumming, they call it a kick drum for a reason...



Oh and for real, the first time i did a jump while playing bass in my bedroom i landed, fell and hit my head on the floor, even though i knew i was home alone i still did the look around to see if anyone saw me thing before getting up and pretending nothing happened

Its the punchy sell style that really is sleazy...Its selling for less than a fifth of its original price and he still can't sell it. This thread probably represents his largest (critical) audience.

What about:

"Being able to play bass guitar is a very satisfying feeling. You are in charge of the low end which is VERY powerful when played at full volume."

Wisdom he has!
