aesthetics - 25% feel - 30% tone - 30% weight - 15% I was in a music shop a month or so ago, and was playing a wine red (sunburst kinda thing) Yamaha BB414 i think, i really liked the colour and the sound, (it felt solid, but not heavy, i liked that...) i just disliked the body shape and...

George Thorogood - One Bourbon, One Scotch, One Beer. I guess this doesn't count as i would love to play the guitar and sing this song, just cos it would surprise the hell out of the other guys in my band, they don't know i can play the guitar... as for a bass and singing one, i think I'd...

Can i have a number? I just want to feel part of something... :( lol. seriously, bassists are the coolest member of the band every time. why else would they get to wear shades and not look like an idiot? :) (apart from ZZ Top of course) I wear sunglasses at night Club! :p

On sunday, my brother went to a local market, and came back with a 6 string bass, (the headstock says DM) that he bought for the bargain price of £99. Obviously, as I'm sure most have you spotted from miles off, he really has got what he paid for... one or two frets are very badly put in, the...

aaaah! thanks very much. :) just have to try and commit it to memory now :rolleyes:

The band I'm in has decided they want to try this, and i've looked up a bass tab, but it's really poorly laid out and i honestly can't follow it when I'm listening to the song. The bass line is what i would probably call a jazz walking bassline, (one of the ones that never really seems to play...

Admittedly I'm a guy, but I'd say it depends mostly on you, and how you play, i know my fingernails have to stay very short or they get in the way all the time, feels like my fingers are tying into knots or something! Some guys on here use their nails to create a certain sound, but really...

I wear it fairly low, simply cos it's where i put it when i started playing, and i put it there because that was what was most comfortable for my looooong arms. The fact that rocking out is easier down low is neither here nor there. ;):bassist: I'm sure i could improve my technique etc. if...

Blue Boar, Walsham le Willows, Suffolk, England. Well, it's the morning after the night before, and i have to say it was a very good gig. For the first time we all had a fair bit of space, and i really enjoyed myself. Making eye contact, dancing, etc etc. We all got a good sound, and really...

Just looked up Boom Boom on youTube. Definitely looks like a song to suggest... (along with Jailbreak... and Golden Earring... why don't they ever commit to doing songs. :crying: :P) Thanks alot for the suggestions, they all help.

Got a gig tomorrow night, at a brand new pub for the band, (every pub is brand new for me, this will be my 4th gig ever.) far off in the countryside. So either the pub will only be full of locals having a pint that really wouldn't care if we were there or not... Or it may be full of people...

Black Dog.... Bonham was determined to play 4/4, while the song is in 5/4 (or so the story i heard goes.) A song i would love the band i'm in to learn, i jokingly suggested it, and the drummer looked at me like i had just exploded or something. Would be an awesome to get tight.

I've not long joined a local pub covers band, playing fairly decent, crowd-pleasing rock (Black Night, Doctor Doctor, Wishing Well, Alright Now, etc. etc.) And in a couple of songs (Born To Be Wild, Johnny B. Goode) I actually have a good go at blitzing through a solo. To be honest I don't...

I've spent the last 20 minutes or so trying to find somewhere i can get one from! haha i think i'm GAS-ing! :eek:

Wow. Where can i play with one of those? :)
