I made a new logo for the band 
I've always loved the Ouroboros symbol and concept. The reason for the "Asian" looking font is because our Keyboardist is Japanese and the Guitarist / Vocalist is part Asian as well :P  |

That must be my problem, I must be using my forearm instead of my wrist.

I will go through the hand and wrist positions and the most important part is to make sure that you do some light stretching exercises to keep from causing issues that come up as carpal tunnel later... |

Haha, the scary thing is, I know I am swinging my arm and that is why i am so terrible. Factor in that I only own 5 string basses so the string spacing is tighter and you can imagine how bad I am at slap bass playing
