in a guitarists head being called a bassist is a bad enough insult for anyone

so an aspiring guitarist went to the crossroads at midnight. When he met the Devil he asked, "What do I have to do in order to become the worlds greatest guitarist?" The devil thinks, and then replies. "Well boy, if you sell me your soul. I will make you the worlds greatest guitarist." The guy...

The guys still haven't found another bassist, they may have to turn to this soon. :spit:

A bit of advice about airport/airlines, bug them enough, they get sick of you, and then they'll find a way to end whatever you've been bothering them about.

So recently I left my old band. We were decent so that had nothing to do with it. Our original singer that had started in the band left a last month ago so that's when I started thinking about leaving also. The "replacement" singer was our drummers girlfriend, who I didn't think was good but i...

"So what are the cords to the next song?" while on stage.

So just a quick question for you guys. My amp is a little fender bassman 112. Two days ago I had a band practice with some of my friends which was good. My friends have larger amps than I do so I have to turn my amp up a little past where I feel comfortable. Yesterday I came back to my amp to...

What are some of the random and meaningless things that you and your band mates do while on stage? You guys have to have some good stories in there somewhere. I sure as hell don't. Our singer hates it when we do anything on stage but play music.

I watch them from time to time, for two reasons. One, to get a good laugh, and two, to make me feel better about the band i'm playing in. If these guys can get up on stage and play like that I think anybody can.

Hey, the show went pretty well. A little strange setting up. The sound man didn't mike my amp up so I had to push it a little harder than I wanted to. Almost cut at one point. Fell about half a chord behind everyone. Other than that I had a blast. Can't wait to do it again. There weren't many...

Hey, so tomorrow's my first gig and I'm a little nervouse about it. I know all of the songs I'm playing, and can play them near pefection. I know that playing infront of people is different than when practicing with your band mates. So what I'm looking for is just a little common advice about...

Tune, stretch, scales, and then some deep breathing. Sounds dumb but it's all I need.

I try to play everything. I hate limiting myself. Not great at everything, almost nothing actually. My number 1 bass is my acoustic/electric fretless Ibanez.
