    What do you sit on?

    get a stool, i'm tall too and if i sit, i like being up nice and high, try switching the bass over to your left leg and craddle it between them to elevate the neck a bit, that's what i like to do

    Double Bass Flying with a Bass

    not for the airport personel, more for you, but, i read somewhere you're supposed to loosen your strings before flying because the air pressure some how screws with the strings, don't know if it's true

    How do you get the geddy lee rickenbacker sound?

    I saw an interview with him, where he said part of his sound is the style he plays. he plays with the 2 fingers, but instead of plucking the string he kinda slap/strikes it, so it sounds like a combo on slap, finger and pick style. but u also need to run stereo pickups with your bridge pickup...

    Rack Effect Suggestions?

    what would the TB community recommend in terms of rack effects for bass? Multi or Single, doesn't matter, maybe a foot controller to go with it as well?
