Don’t underestimate how much a setup (string height) in relation to the neck, affects the tone. It will really make a bass sound like a completely new and different bass.

Poor Ghost. He just wanted to be loved. And John tossed him aside like a Craster Baby. Decision making was so bad. Instead of charging a slow moving Giant with tiny weapons. Wouldn’t it have been easier to just throw or fire anything burning at it? I mean, it’s literally like hitting a barn...

Rules and consistency were clearly thrown out the window for that episode. My favorite is how a hoard of undead can be stopped by a wooden door with a stool propped against it, yet a single undead can break through solid concrete with one hand.

There is a very funny video online making fun of the battle tactics or lack there of. Who’s first line of defense is trebuchets? Well, first line of defense after you send your Calvary to mindless slaughter. It’s like they didn’t have six winning battle generals in the room

You know nothing @MJ5150 ;) Seriously though. Better catch up before the plot gets spoiled for you.

“If you think has a happy ending, then you haven’t been paying attention”

Hi. Firstly, I believe you have a right to feel hard done by. Seems the organization let you down. But don’t get discouraged, and don’t burn a bridge or do anything out of emotion. My suggestion would be to continue to find more venues to play. And get your name out there. And maybe next...

I had my sub show up to one of my gigs yesterday that I was already setup for and in my spot. Thought I was supposed to be somewhere else with another band and panicked. Thankfully I just had an error in my calendar, but had to pay my sub my money for the gig and did it for free. I’ll take...

This is a pretty bass. String spacing?

Haha. It’s kinda more like the annoyance you get when a child asks “Why?” for the 15th time.

By “gotten a gig”. Were you hired/auditioning for a band? Or subbing for a band? That already had a gig? Or did you/your band get hired by a venue through CL?

1. I would start by listening A LOT LOT to whatever style you’re trying to emulate or get better at. 2. Then I’d take one of those recordings and transcribe what you like. (Since you’re pressed for time, I’d only transcribe select measures that have interesting lines) 3.Then I’d try to...

When you have/had a drug problem, you’ll take some extra dough anywhere you can get it.

So we were packing up last night, and as I was lifting our truss support over a stage bannister, CRASH!!!! I look up, a glass ceiling fixture is completely destroyed. Doesn’t appear to be too expensive, but it happened. I’m sure if anything it’ll be a pain to go up there and fix. Anyone...

Got a wedding to go to in June in New Orleans. Staying 6 days and making it a vacation. What’s some of the best things to do while I’m there?
