Not a problem except when I get invited to sit in and don't have one of my own basses with me.  |

Again with the live sound issue? I gotta believe that's a solvable problem. Maybe you guys with bad live sound just need to switch to a Jazz bass. [Ducks for cover] Maybe that's why I've never had a problem (that I know of) with live sounds. A Jazz has the right blend of thump, growl & "pop." | i do agree with the jazz bass idea.

Besides that, I hate when your nusts itch and you stop to scratch them, and there is no one to cover you (like with a 2nd guitar).........
in spite of all of that.....I LOVE playing bass, or trying anyway.
Every now and then, someone even comments that I suck slightly less than before...So I must be improving to some degree. I'll take that. |

| I'm just the opposite. I love watching a great bass player. It seems like I always get good ideas from watching them. That's one way to get better. Quote: |

| No way. You mean just you, and a bass? Solo in a cafe? This I've gotta see or hear. I mean I believe it can be done, but I just can't imagine it. You've gotta post a clip or vid. |

| | | well to things:
1. All my mates play guitar and they think bass is easy but i keep telling the that it's not its actually sometimes harder but they don't believe me.
2. the size of the neck and frets i only have very small fingers so i move my hand alot which is annoying.
but still i wouldn't ever change instrument  Rock On Callum! |

| | | | Yeah, and I hate the prices of the amps, I mean a 100 watt combo amp for Bass cost like at least 200 euro more than a 100 watt guitar amp

But one thing I do like is, we dont have to hide behind effects to sound good. ;D

I could go neo speakers and was talking to a friend last night about my choices to restructure my rig. Lighter and two cabs. | | Thread Tools | Search this Thread | | | |
