    Got almost killed by rescuing toddler

    Here we go again... Tralala lala I'm walking on the sidewalk on a colder than usual Chicago day. I see from afar a toddler riding his tricycle. Falling leaves, winter is coming. As I walk towards the kid I hear the trees creaking, pretty normal for a windy day. I am getting closer to...

    what to practice

    pick a record that you like and look up the tabs on bassmasta. Then play the tab along the songs. Something easy: The Ramones, Nirvana Don't jump into something too complicated or you will get discouraged. Go around playing all type of music until your fingers get calluses so they don't hurt...

    Seeking advice on 4-string Bass for 14 yr old son?

    to the OP these are some weird basses. For a 14 yo why don't you settle with a used fender. I'm sure you will get for less than $600. Maybe something made of basswood cause of the weight.

    Just pimped my Sterling Ray34.

    I like this bass and don't think it needs to be upgraded unless you wanna experiment with new pups. Tuners are good. don't know why you say they are poor quality Although this bass is really heavy, but there isn't much you can do about that.

    A band I played with is becoming famous

    as "MikeBass" said, can't say the name of the band due to legal issues. I could just tell you the band. But for some reason I think there is a fellow TB who is an undercover music lawyer. First leg of their tour: - Madrid - Barcelona - Paris - Rome - Milan - Munich - Duseldorff - Stugartt Oh...

    Just because you are talented it doesn't mean you have a brain

    Next time I ask an 18 year old kid to teach me classes and he says no. I'm gonna trash his amp and hit him with his bass.
