    What should I start learning or practicing to improve my bass playing?

    You're right, I used to play with some people 2, 3 years ago and it helped me a lot. Sadly I haven't been able to because I went to uni abroad. I am still searching for some musicians (I got a bit better with the language too).

    Is this a real or printed "photo" tortoise shell pick guard?

    MXR M115 “Distortion III”

    I also had this pedal but I never actually liked it because of the low-end loss. A couple of days ago a friend gave me a cheap 7 band bass eq which made me realize the distortion works really well if you eq it. And with the help of the good ol’ boss oc-3 It sounds pretty cool.
