"The bassist in the picture has a six-string Cirrus that he apparantly takes everywhere without a case." |

But that article sucked, Jaco wouldn't stand for that crap. You're playing his ballad, whether you like it or not! |

Pretty funny. | It's true. I slide up octaves anytime I see fit. |

| | Registered User | | Join Date: Apr 2006 Location: Lewisville, TX | | | My favorite bass move is the "white man's overbite". This is done whilst in the groove and you're really feeling it, so you bite your bottom lip and move your head back and forth kinda egyptian-style all the while kinda bending the knees and walking towards the drummer with a little strut. |

Trent is lactose intolerant. His stomach can't handle "that spicy milk".

...unless he sucks and I'm embarassed to acknowledge the crappiness of his prescence.
Tradionally, I do the backward lean/crotch thrust, like all bassists as well.
