    How rude (or not) is this?

    I would first just tell the guy, hey man I wont be able to put my stuff down, maybe can we move that to the side. From there I would just see what he says. Maybe he had a bad eye and couldnt see fully straight. If he was rude I'd tell him I'd end his life if he dared cross me again. If he was...

    My first gig

    I agree with lots of the points and will restate from exp which I think were most useful. 1 - have fun. your going to be stressed yes, but pretend your practices are the show. 2 - if you mess up dont make a face or do anything that would show you screwed up, 90% of the time no one knows...

    So, do you live up to the bass player stereotype "Bassists get the most chicks?"

    I know Nikki Sixx and Tommy Lee did well for themselves and those 2 positions are typically not reserved for getting ass.

    Happy With My Rig

    Although I can say I wouldnt play it myself, if that's what you are looking for good on you! Honestly unless people are saying how much they dislike your sound you should be fine. Pleasing yourself for tone is usually number one because thats what your trying to put across as YOUR sound. All...

    ...This is why I'm glad I play BASS ;D

    so was this thread created so you could talk about how 3 guys said you were cute? Are you saying that you are happy you play bass because 3 guys said you should be playing guitar because your cute? I have an story which relates roughly the same to why I'm glad I play bass. I came home to...

    So, do you live up to the bass player stereotype "Bassists get the most chicks?"

    I would say in my case yes. 2 reasons why. #1 - I'm the only single guy in the band. I win by default #2 - If that were not the case, I'm fairly good with girls and outgoing. The other guys are fairly shy so I would also say that too contributes. Other than that - if we went to a big show...

    New spector has bad neck dive

    I've been trying to work around it but I almost feel I'm gripping down hard with my thumb to keep the neck up and am having to compensate with my freedom of my hand. I have been reading some of you guys having issues with guitars that do this. I heard of one suggestion of a small weight on...

    Super loud pickups. Almost double volume of other bass.

    the new bass is a Spector Euro LX. I think it comes with the spector tone pump preamp

    Spector Club - Part 10

    hahaah I know that man - I just dont want to have to worry at a show to only turn it up like 1/3 of the way if I fully turn it off between songs. I'd rather it be set to me opening volume up full and playing. Not having to guess and change it if its all off

    yeah I'm assuming the preamp is quite a bit hotter, is there any way you can adjust that to help out or no? pretty much it is what it is?

    Spector Club - Part 10

    I just got my 2nd spector bass, the 5 string euro. I'm having an issue though, its volume is WAYYY hotter than my other spector. Probably 2-3 times higher. how do I go about getting it turned down? It's just too much right now. I'd really like th e2 spectors to be pretty dang close if possible.
