    the thread i have been reluctant to write...

    I don't do slapping or popping or tapping or sweeping. There is something that is very... NOT metal/NOT punk about using those techniques. I guess it's just personal preference. The band I may be joining in the next couple months has a small amount of slap in some of their songs. I've...

    How TO Talk Your Drummer Into Controlling Tempo Better?

    Sounds like he'd be happier playing more up tempo music. If he's conscious of the problem, yet he's not willing to correct it... he doesn't seem to care that much about the band. I'd tell him to hit the bricks.

    What's the best compliment you've ever received as a bass player?

    I always get a lot of good feedback when I play. I really don't do anything special or play that well. I think it's just stage prescence. I really come out of my shell and have a helluva good time up on stage. When you're having fun, the audience has more fun and that seriously can cover up...

    possible trade: Sterling for 8x10 cab

    Hi. I put my Music Man Sterling (about 7 years old but in pretty good shape) up for sale. I've got a guy who wants to trade his Ampeg 8x10 which is also in really good shape for it. Do you think this is a good straight up trade? I'm not sure if he's going to try to squeeze some cash out of...
