hey guys (and girls maybe i haven't been on in forever). I just wanted to let you know whats going on since last time i was on. I purchased my first bass and gave my brother his back. I love it. we've finally finished working out our version of revelation song and it's so powerful we could just...

Hot rods or brushes will definately help some, i've also seen a drummer use tooth brushes to stay at a low enough volume. as far as drum mutes i'm not sure what they are i've never seen them but they sound like they will work. I kinda figure that a shirt or sheet or blanket over the drums...

I like this rule but unfortunately with my guitar players and myself being so young and having a lack of money we can't afford something besides what we've saved up for to gig with. But fortunately the only real volume problem comes from the drummer who is ten and is still learning the whole...

A couple years ago when i was in high school i brought my (the schools) UB to my church and played in the worship team. That was actually my first time not having music to tell me every note to play. It went well as i actually played along with the other bass player cause i didn't play bass...

I about fell out of my chair laughing at that!! i'm crying i'm laughing so hard :crying: :crying: I'm not even sure why it's so funny

how does that work?? is it like after a 1000 they close the thread and start a new one??

Hey i mentioned on this here a little while ago about my band's "homecoming" which is going on Sat July 11th. So i'm wanting to let everyone know that there's gonna be 4 band's. The Shirey's, The Melodiar's, Crabb Revival (used to be the Crabb family), and us(Decree). Tickets are $10 in advance...

thanks guys. appreciate the input my search on the subject turned up some threads about workingman's stuff that noone ever replied to. I'm glad i got some input back.

Ok so i just found a SWR Workingman's 300 Head. And i'm really looking at getting it to start "building" my first real rig. Ok so does anyone use or have used it?? I know it's rated at 300watts which is enough...for now. but just wondering how it holds up sounds....etc.etc.etc.. I mean all...

[bow][bow] not worthy not worthy this makes me sick. i'm happy for the kid but i hate that i'm not as good as him!!! and i love the bass. and i agree by the time he "grows into" his bass he's gonna be a monster!!

I've been traveling with a band for about 2 years now (only playing bass for about 2 months). We leave all our equipment-the guitars/basses under the bus. Including Subs, Mains, Tube Guitar Amps, bass amps, Sound board/drive rack, drums..Etc.Etc. and we've never had a problem with any of it...

ok so we had practice tonight and our lead player wasn't gonna be able to make it. So we decided to work on a completely new song we've never played before. It's revelation song, and we're gonna do it during our homecoming two months away, OH by the way shout out to the upstate SC and...

Well i'm not the one who posted it but i'm pretty sure i can help. Being "under attack" is when you're under attack. haha sorry but seriously it's when something happens and it gets bent and twisted until it appears to be different than what it is. most of the time when it happens to me it...

I don't know how. but he uses them: Your definately right there. We had a service in a sanctuary that wasn't finished. Concrete floors, sheet rocked walls, echo that sounded like you were yelling across a warehouse, you almost couldn't hear anything over the drums. Yet ppl were dancing, a...

My situation is a little different than most of you who play at the same church every week but yeah sometimes we just have off days..... actually most of the days are a little off. the drummer can't get a tight pocket, i don't lock in the groove, the guitars are slow, or fast on there licks...
