    stage fright

    There is a book called "Yoga for Musicians". It has many good techniques for relaxing before, during, and after performing. I forget the author's name

    Man, you have a lot of overdrive, distortion type effects!

    Ask a guy from New Jersey anything...

    What's with the traffic circles? I'd ask you why it smells so bad, but I know that one. The whole state is built on a giant landfill. Do you get pulled over if your "NO FEAR" sticker is expired? Why is the ocean so nasty in NJ?

    Double Bass Sound on Bass Guitar

    Palm- Muting can get you a nice upright sound, with the same drawbacks as Richenbacher pointed out. I'm not sure about the eq. Flatwounds would help too, I think.

    Vocal Effects Stomp Box

    I play with a guy who uses a TC Helicon Vocal processor/ pre amp. It's very useful and versatile.

    I must be getting old.....

    I agree on the first two points. I think it's ok to go barefoot if you want. Dub Poet Mutabaruka never wears any shoes, ever. Barefoot is spiritual to a lot of people, so is music. If you always wear shoes the whole world is covered in shoe leather.

    It might have been Casey Dresden on fiddle.

    My frets are to long!

    I bet it's a rosewood fretboard. This can happen when the fretboard loses moisture and contracts. It doesn't happen with Maple. You can apply linseed oil on it to prevent further problems

    How hard do you play and why?

    I learned this from a book by Gary Willis, and I see his sig bass on your avatar!

    Dealing with volume killing effects

    When you guys use a "buffer" or pedal to raise the volume, I guess you put it at the end of the chain? I have a Boss EQ and also a Sans Amp that would work for me I think

    Your thought on the Boss ODB-3 Bass Overdrive Pedal?

    I don't find it very useful. It's noisy for studio apps and during live shows, the second I engage it, I can't hear myself in the mix anymore.

    Thinking of trading my Dr. Q straight up for a Big Muff Pi

    Yeah, I'm gonna pull the trigger on it, I was checking it out on Ebay, it seems like a good swap. Thanks for the input, guys!
