He tore a tendon in his hand with a fish hook when he was a yungun.

Let your right hand go limp with the bass on, then just put enough energy to get to the strings. Closer to the bridge is generally better with a pick. And wide stance, narrow, it doesn't matter. Pick playing gets some getting used to and itll fall in place as you do it. Right hand as relaxed as...

I see. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sQnED8oVWI8 I just gave this a listen and see some of what youre saying in there. Soloing is fun man! Nothing's "wrong", even if it doesn't sound that good.

The korean ones are nothing to scoff at, just dont get the budget models. Matsumoku was a magic factory though so it's hard to compare. I have an 84' SB Elite 1 that is perfect. 10+ lbs and I float everytime I put it on.

Hi there, I'm starting to explore the world of soloing, most of my basis for bass playing is David Ellefson with his relentless pick attack and precise midrange sound. When I solo to a backing track or drummer I find that my solos are a little wonky sounding. Relentless 16th's and gallops...

When I thnik 90's rock I thnik Pantera. So Custom Spectors and heavy gauge strings tuned D standard

I thought the Destiny's Child reunion was exciting. I mean the whole thing was kind of a shitshoot, but it was fun and I didn't take it very seriously at all.

9er!s :bassist: Happy Birthday btw

I like to consider it having a diverse portfolio :ninja: But I agree with you as a whole on the matter, most people really only have business being in 1 band at a time. For those of us that can have multiple projects going on, I'm slightly envious, but at the same time I wouldn't do it at this...

boost your mids too. It's not wrong to play flatwounds strings specifically but to get some serious balls in your sound roundwounds make more sense. I prefer SIT David Ellefson strings and DR. Marcus Miller Strings.

The music industry isn't really about making good music in a timely fashion anymore, and the Jamerson's Caye's and Rainey's of that day are not conducive to the manipulative marketing of the industry. Metallica spending ~2 years on an album, that was godawful? That is more accurate to the...

Do any of you have experience with this rig? I'm picking up a bergantino 115 sub soon and I have an old fender 215 cab. The berg is an 8 ohm and the fender 4 i believe so I running them together ought to work? I would have to likely upgrade my head for this but I would like to hear experience...

Well in my metal band I like to eat a bowl of nails the morning of a gig, with no milk of course. Otherwise a little bit of lysergic fuel certainly makes for some good playing.

Aguilar makes a very good 115. Idk what GC carries but if youre willing to spend money for a Bergantino they make a 115 sub cab that will knock your socks off. What head do you use?

I would ask for side LED's and an Aguilar preamp.
