I played tuba for 8 years throughout middle and high school. I loved the grounding in music I got. This is very accurate: Also, consider the bass trombone. They have a great mix of both holding the line with tuba and from time to time get some awesome melodies, generally written better than...

The local country band that played classic country, Shorty played a Fender P Bass. When he passed on, the next bass player also had a Fender, although I'm not sure if it was a P bass or a jazz, and I play a 75 jazz reissue, which I think is perfectly suited to older classic country. Classic is...

Drummer keeps the time, bass also helps keep time with simple bass lines. However, as it's been noted, we're not a babysitter for the drummer, and I've done the same thing before. Luckily, my drummer never went double speed on any track, or even close to that.

I might have stayed in my band if we had stories this good.

The band I was in played a few questionable places. Usually it was our sound guy that was the heavy. There was only a few instances in three + years of gigging where he was a little too drunk to take care of the minor problems we had. Most of the problems weren't people who disliked the...

Thread officially derailed by troll train. Story at eleven.

I always thought my monster bass cables performed better than a standard monster cable as well. And, the return it no questions asked policy was always a favorite in our band.

OK here it is. I told you I wasn't Bill-and-Tedding it.
