I'm wondering if I'm the only one here who does this... My basses and my Epi Valve Jr. are right next to my computer so I find myself plugging in an noodling while I'm surfing TB. Does anyone else here play and surf TB? If so what do you use, do you use your full rig or just a small practice rig that you have lying around?

| | | All the time, even when watching movies... Yeah, no one likes to watch movies with me. I've gotten into a subtly terrible habit of playing bass sub consciously, which often leads to air bass  |

| | | | I do and it has negatively affected my practice. I end up surfing more than practicing. |

Sat on my bed, iTunes on, looking over Facebook or whatever, playing anything and everything I thought I could.
