I use an Acoustic B10. I bought it last year and it works great for me. Then again, I don't have a gig amp of any kind yet, so it'll have to do since it's all I have. Eventually, I'll get something bigger.

I just landed a 4-string at my local shop. MSRP 325, shop price was 249, scored it for 209. Well, it's on layaway, I could have bought it right then and there, but layaway is just so much more cost effective for me right now. I can't wait to bring it home in a month or so and hook it up. One...

WOW! It's been about a month and a half since I've been even close to TB. I'm glad I popped in, that thing is turning out NICE! I can't wait to see more progress on it!

+1,000,000,000 Oh, Billy! That would PWN!!! Haha about the volume war. They wouldn't stand a chance! :bassist::bassist::bassist:

Hey hey hey heyheyheyhey! What's wrong with wearing tool shirts??? What's wrong with Tool? Ok. I'll admit, they are a bit anti-Christian and all. But so what if I am a Christian. Someone got those 4 guys together and they make nothing short of good music. Danny Carey's drumming ability is earth...

Except that was done on a keyboard! BLAH!:spit: Lol.

MAKE IT STOOOOOOOOP!!! THE AGONYYYYYY!!! :help::help::help::help::help::help:

Yea. Sad. The guy who started teaching me bass even argued with me that it wasn't Larry. Then I showed him the vid I found and he shut up real quick. A lot of people credit it to Jeff Berlin. But even Jeff made sure to let everyone know that it was a Graham innovation. Though, I say slap a...

Slapping your room mates when they don't pay their rent will never go out of style!

Hey. Agreed. Older rap, though. I enjoy a little bit of Run DMC and some NWA here and there. Eminem was also a lyrical maniac (more or less after he got serious). But new rap... fake, comp processed crap produced from some loop station that costs $600+. Oh! Not to mention things like autotune...

Well, I hav eno idea what ol' Stan called it, but I know larry originally termed it "thumpin' n' pluckin'." Kinda funny watching an old video on youtube as he explains it. He never once says "slap." In it's essence, you really aren't slapping anything. It looks like your slapping the bass from...

Hey, man. If you can play piano. Go for it. I love the piano. But those key bassists. That's weak. Does that mean I'm gonna start seeing little thug-muffin wanksters walking into the music shops looking to buy a casio and an ampeg? DAMN YOU RAP MUSIC! :spit: Especially those guys who have the...

Eh... I'd have to disagree. It's still a technique just as much as the rest of them. With that in mind, as opposed to the word "style" which can have a negatively fashionable connotation, it's something you put into practice and use in the right situations. When a guy works out he puts the right...

Yea. The keyboard thing is kinda bugs me. I picked up a GK catalog and some of these guys are sitting next to a rig and have a keyboard right next to them. Eh... whatever floats your boat?..

Totally agreed. A lot of Jazz fusion guys I see or hear are still using it. It just fits the music they play. Slapping in any of most of today's processed crap on the radio wouldn't do. Then again... any form of competent bass playing in most of todays music wouldn't do either. Then again...
