    Bandmate angry about my choice in playing style

    +1 totally agree, people seem to play slap because it is seen to be a "skill" or medal of honour as a muso, much like shredding on a guitar, or double kick pedals on a drum kit. as for whats going on with the band, I had a similar situation in a band I was in a while ago, and eventually...

    Your "Band Rules"?

    +1 We had 2 rules in the old band though they were often broken; 1. Eat before we practice, either on the way or before you leave home! We broke and re-wrote this rule almost every week 2. No more than 2 drinks before we go on stage. Though once again I sneakily broke this rule by...

    How not to handle band/bar owner conflict (YTC)

    i dont know how your bar owners roll in the states, but Ive never heard the of this practice in bars in Australia. The bar owners need to have a good hard look at them selves for not collecting their cover charge. lazy pricks!

    Another 'bass is pointless' argument

    first this angered me, then annoyed me, then angered me again, then made me sad, then i started to have pity for this ben fellow... i mean seriously, every instrument brings its own unique aspect to the band, for instance some bands the bassist does exactly what this ben fellow says, plays the...

    What to tell to that stupid guitarist?

    +1 But IMO 6 string is ****! When ever I get told that "bass is easier to play because it has 4 strings" i tell a guitarist to play a riff, then i go and make it better with "the funk" stupid guitarists annoy me!

    Things you hate that every local band seems to do

    when guitarists realise how easy particular scale runs are and use them in every song they play, one band who i saw quite frequently caus my mate played drums in it, the lead guitarist sounded the same in every song.

    Playing bass and playing sports

    i play cricket, for those who dont know what that is, its a bit like baseball, cept our ball is harder, heavier, and we dont were those gay gloves.... anyway, my fingers are a bit bent, like some curve when they are flexed out straight, and it hasnt effected my playing ability at all. mate just...

    Copping this tone: Jazz vs Precision

    yeah just compared it to a j on youtube, with some comp and shiz, im convinced that its a j bass though just had a brain snap, it could also be one of those Active Special Jazz basses with the p pickup?!?

    Gospel/Worship Team Bassists, what bass do you play?

    I used to use an Ibanez SR300 had a nice bassey sound, now though I use my Spector NS2000 (MI-SK) into my Genz Benz Neo-Pak 3.0 with a Peavey 6x12 cab! occasionally, depending on song choices by the worship leader I will put it through an Electro Harmonix Envelope Filter and an Electro Harmonix...
