I feel like if you have the skills and the need for many pedals then why not, there comes a point where it can get to weird at times though. Being a punk/metal bassist I usually rock a danelectro grilled cheese and that's all. Really gives me the kind of bite and aggressiveness I want for solos...

I have been asked this at shows before and i don't think i have ever said no before. i honestly don't give a damn if i have a dent on my 200 dollar epiphone thunderbird and it seems like if someone is interested enough to want to play it then why not, plus most people that have asked me seem...

Alright so i decided to plug in and play today instead of just practicing acoustic, i posted in here recently about my pf-500 and having it shut off at anything over 12 o'clock volume setting. i was looking to seeif it was capping or is the fault light was on and it ended up not capping and the...

Metallica because Cliff Burton

How old were you when you first started playing? 16 How long have you played to this day? 7 months, give or take a month How long had you played when you signed up? 6 months give or take Are you/were you a working musician? Yes, well if you considered the fact it was my only source of...

So i recently bought myself a pf-500 to use with my GK 410 RBH cab and it sounds great at low power... the head is having problems at anything past 12 oclock when it comes to volume. if i try and play anything close to stage volume then the head will just completely crap out and make no noise at...

i haven't liked a single fender i have liked except the MIA deluxe P bass but i wouldn't drop 1,400 bucks on a fender. i have no idea why but i haven't tried a single fender that i have absolutely fallen in love with. i am pretty big about fretting, if the fretting is bad and there is a lot of...

I'm doing it right now. all i have is a epiphone T-bird and i love it, no worrying about electronics because passive pickups and i never have to worry about it breaking because the thing is a tank. That being said if i was going to have only one for shows and recording and everything it would...

For me it has got to be anything squier. i just hate them with a passion, sound bad, feel bad, feel cheap, horrible fretting i just don't understand why everyone loves them and swears by them for beginners. After reading some replies i am realizing how many people hate T-birds and i did at first...

So i have been playing my epiphone thunderbird for awhile now and i really love it but right now it is my only bass so i need to get a backup. i mainly play punk and ska and sometimes metal, i have looked at a warwick star 2, fender p bass, a gibson SG and a few others but my main problem is...

My favorite one is when someone thinks bass is "easy" and that "anyone can do it" and they try and play and just make a fool of themselves. i had a few guys i used to play with (2 guitarists) and they would constantly bag on me for playing bass and because i was just starting playing an...

i have seriously been wanting to get my thunderbird in caddy green for awhile now

hit the nail on the head. just go out and act like you own the place and play

I play mainly punk (got to open for T.S.O.L last night for my first gig) and honestly its just changing between up and down strokes and only down strokes, i play with a pick 99% of the time like most punk guys, just play the song the way it feels the best and easiest for you.
