I have come to the point where i dont know any new songs to try and play, i have been playing bass for a few months and i am interested in a wide range of music but i play alot of metal and rock. I use a pick and fingers sometimes and would just like to hear some suggestions of some really fun...

Hmm, i don't really know if this answer is really what you are looking for, but i'll throw it out there anyways.. Mike D'Antonio from Killswitch Engage (specifically first two albums, Self titled and Alive or Just Breathing :) ) I just think he has a great tone, plus he had a few solo...

This is why i chose Rex Brown, because he wrote the lines i love in Pantera, but he also used to be a Jazz bassist, and was offered a scholarship but declined, so he must know his stuff ;) I like your suggestions too though :) :bassist:

Just thought i'd start something fresh :) If this has already been covered, i apologise in advance So, if you could have just one 60 minute lesson/Jam session with one bass player, who would it be and why? :) I'll start this :) Player: Rex Brown - Pantera Why?: Because i love how he can get...

Nice choices, i totally forgot about building my own, but still, my list stands :P

Sorry if this has already been asked before, but what the heck, I'm gonna ask again :p im intrigued :) If you won the lottery, what would be the first 3 bass guitars you would buy? I'll go first, in no particular order: Spector - Rex 4 (Holoflash) Wal - Mk 2b (Natural Finish) EB MM -...

Invalid Link Removed I know this bass is ugly as sin, and it is a bit stupid to show it in a thread with so many beautiful basses, but it was the best i could afford on the budget i had :crying: It is by a manufacturer called Stellah and i had it shipped from Ireland over Ebay. It sounds ok i...

Well I was hovering around these forums for a week or so before i actually registered, and i found this forum when i was researching the Fleabass and google and i found myself here :)

Hey there, i have just joined and want to say hi :) In my opinion, as long as you enjoy the music it doesn't matter when you start playing :)

Hello everyone, my name is Joe and i have just joined these forums after a few weeks of trawling through your threads :), i have wanted to play bass for about 1.5/2 years and got my frist bass about 2 weeks ago and i love it (at the grand old age of 18). The bass I use is just a cheap explorer...
