I did a cover of Radiohead's Subterranean Homesick Alien a while ago, and thought I'd slap it up on youtube. Everything was performed by me, bass, piano, vocals... I used my Geddy Lee Jazz for all of the bass parts, a Shure PG48 for the vocals, and a Roland E-09 for the piano. If I recall...

How would I go about doing this? Am I not supposed to have my palm on the neck at all? Or just make sure that my thumb does not touch it? This makes a lot of sense though Thanks, Trav

Hey guys, So I was taking advice that was given in a previous thread about improving my fretting hand, which was to put the thumb behind the board. I could do it, and it was a lot more comfortable, but I didn't really notice a difference between having my thumb behind the neck versus over...

Thank you very much, Mystic Boo, for the load of info! Wicked, man!

They sound like the type of band that would play extremely loud. Is this true? LOVE muse by the way. I just can't get enough! Loved them ever since I first heard that WICKED guitar solo in Invincible! Awesome band, ridiculous, really, how talented they are!

I'm my own producer! :p I'm doing records (basically just covers of songs with my vocals and bass) from home, with almost pro results, because I some of the tricks to recording and mastering. And I mean some, im no pro by any standards, but I know a good mix when I hear it. I've read a couple of...

Yeah, I was actually referring to a set up in stereo for recording, and DI if possible (as in not miking cabs.) However, that is a good idea!

Alright, Chris Wolstenholme from Muse uses a lot of effects on his bass and a lot of them are in stereo (if not all.) I would like to run a set up like this where I could put effects in at any balance in the stereo feild. Is this possible? I know that I can do it with Guitard Rig 2 and it sounds...

Arent they very rare or am I just stupid? I REALLY want one, but I can't find anything on ebay.

:D:D That made my day!

I appreciate your reply, a lot. Thanks Marcury.

You didn't waste your time. I will still work on the stuff that you posted, so what you talked about isn't irrelevant at all to me. It's very helpful. The only reason that I got mad (slightly) and came back with these guys like Chris, Geddy and John was because I thought that you guys wee saying...

I would have to agree with this. That's why I am learning scales. My wrist as it is is very comfortable, and from plying the way I have for three years now, almost a straight three years, too (and I mean that, I play EVERY day.) I have not noticed carpal tunnel syndrome or any other pain in my...

In retrospect, it's not really hindering my playing that much at all. I can do it now, as a matter of fact, playing the same way I always have. That's not to say that this thread was pointless though, it does have a lot of relevant info for me and other people as well. It did seem to come off...

With the way that I play my basses, I have no discomfort in either of my hands, save for some fatigue, while playing something by Muse like Thoughts of a Dying Atheist, or Hysteria (see here for a snippet, just audio though, tell me what you think.) That song (TOADA) is fatiguing on my right...
