I've noticed this kind of thing on a few gigs too, OP. It usually bothers me for the first few songs of a set and then i think my ears "get used" to it. The recordings sound fine as far as tuning, but i will feel like i'm out of whack. I've noticed it the most when I'm having issues with...

Sorry to go back a topic or two, but John Moyer actually wanted them backwards. He thought it looked better. Saw it in a Traben promo video. lol Ordered my Chaos Core, should be here by Friday. I'll post my pics then.

There. Fixed it for ya. ;)

it seems the predominant response is stage left (house right, i.e. audience's right), but most of the bands i've seen live, both local and pro, have the bassist stage right (house left). i've usually been stage left, but it's usually 'cause that was the easiest way to set up. it wasn't...

the whole point is to entertain, so you gotta make it fun. we'd throw beach balls (marked with our logo/myspace info)into the audience, do ridiculous costumes complete with obviously stuffed codpieces, coregraphed moves, etc. we had to make up for not having a singer so we just made it as...

excluding the obvious set up stuff... stretch, keep hands warm, and breathing exercises and then the band shares what we call a "grog-bowl". it's usually monster or rockstar, a guinness or newcastle, some jager (if we can afford it), and some az green tea. kinda nasty, but it'll give you...

i have one at the moment. had three at one point. one was a p.o.s. fender ripoff and when the electronics broke i sold it for $35 bucks. the other was a cheap acoustic i let a friend borrow. a friend of his had his daughter over and she fell on it and snapped the neck :eek: i wasn't all that...

but just to reiterate... ABSOLUTELY ANYTHING by Lenard skinard. i will shoot you in the face if you request freebird. anything by U2, Kid Rock, Hinder, Nickelback, anyone who sings through an auto-tuner, papa roach, and anyone who is supposed to be a boy but looks like a girl to include...

David J Haskins (Bauhaus) uses a pick with a fretless and his tone is awesome.

my first degree black belt was XYZ by Rush. my second degree black belt is the opening bass solo of "Day of the Baphomets" by Mars Volta. That mess is just crazy.

The digitech bass driver has a mode that is supposed to simulate the turbo rat. i've never heard them side by side, so i don't know how well it does....:hiding:

ouch. lol. she's the one who calls me that, because apparently i can't play without glowering. i can posture and say "i AM gettin' it, woman" all i want....but she's the one with the money. :rollno: :crying: :help: no, she just wants me to wait till tax return time. and i'm impatient...

My first bass was "Io" my current bass is "Durendel" my acoustic is "Roane" My electric (gasp) guitar is "Neriad" My friend named all his guiatars too: Booger, Electricfart, [one i forgot] and Silent-Wind-of-Death-Whoosh.

Thanks for your input! Now just to convince the woman...

Hey all. I hope this already hasn't been covered, i've read through most of thread three and this one... i'm seriously considering getting a wishbass. i know he'll use whatever pup's you provide him (as long as it's not too much of a hassle) and i wanna get a peanut, but i want to have...
