I believe it! It's true that it was one of the biggest dives around then - now, not so much, just a loud rock bar. That was before my time in this neck o the woods... Curious - What band were you playing with?

lol@"Hamster Head" - great band name though...

oops - accidently posted... I might add: The best drummers I have worked with are listeners, no matter what style of skill level.

What I posted above isn't necessarily meant to be a "pile on" of the drummer, just a observation of this particular dude. I have been fortunate throughout my career to play with some world class drummers - but since I no longer play in a large metro where there's lots of players, it's slim...

I had a friend of the band ask me the other night after the show if I follow the drummer or it's the other way around - I told him [the drummer] doesn't follow to me at all - he plays off the guitar players. The reason we sound tight is because I listen... This happens far too often imho...

hah, I know - there are soooo many options. Thanks for your 2¢ - my search is only beginning!

Hi all, I am currently using a RAT reissue (the early 90's version) as well as an AP7 Jet Phaser for my dirty sound - depending on where I am in relation to my amp (Mesa Bass 400 w/ SWR 4x10) I can get some crazy beautiful (Adrian Belew-style circa Talking Heads Remain in Light) overtones...

Hi Dave, I am near Outing. Equidistant between Brainerd and Grand Rapids... Good luck - I used to teach a while back so if you're looking for info on technique or gear, PM me sometime, I would be happy to help if I can. Paul

[Invalid or Expired Link Removed] I plan to restore with these - granted I have an Alembic, but everyone I talk to about their electronics say there is no better.

there was. Al at the Blue Ox in Brainerd, MN calls me f*ckface - and I do not like it. But he calls everyone that.

Heh, I guess "player" is in the eye of the beholder... Thanks for the responses!

I know - I was thinking my post might be construed that way... Certainly wasn't intended to be so. Thanks for the replies - always curious what people think about their playing... I guess confidence could be number 4 for me... :rolleyes::D:cool:

Hello all, I've been kicking around the vast talkbass universe for the past couple weeks - what a tremendous place for players at all levels of experience and ability - wow! When I was a lad, I religiously read Guitar Player magazine, though bass has always been my deal, it was the only...

I prefer less tension on my other one... The weatherchecking never looked better... What does this knob do? The weight distribution really kills my back... Whoever routed the cavities on her was a butcher...

So timely that I saw this as I decided to leave one of my bands. I am a founding member and have stayed with this longer than I should have. Albeit it's a cover band, but these are my buds and I want them to continue on and be happy. In 35 years, the only way is honesty and simplicity - this...
