    Give me some slap bass to play!

    This one isn't difficult technically, but getting it to groove is the tricky bit.

    What Did You Eat Today?

    Yeah, a lot places are pretty strict about that. It makes complete sense, but it would take some pretty stunning scenery to make me want to pack my TP out in a ziploc bag... :p

    What Did You Eat Today?

    Haha yeah, I actually had heard something about the seeds being a bit raunchy, but man... cyanide? That's rough! I didn't get any nasty side affects, though. It seemed like a good way to make use of a food to the fullest extent, and it really was not an unpleasant experience at all, but this...

    What Did You Eat Today?

    I ate an apple. Like, the whole apple. Never done that before. I even ate the stem, just out of principle.

    Songs re-done better than the originals... post 'em here.

    Though I don't really like to call a cover superior to the original, Johnny Cash's version of Hurt is quite possibly one of the best things ever.

    Tuning up a half step, is it wrong?

    Haha, I know it's unusual, but like I said, I really want to kill this solo spot, and I've got a few tricks worked out that I'd like to use. It's not just for harmonics, either, it just seems to mesh better with the tuning of the horns for some songs, and I like the added punch. Like I said, no...

    Tuning up a half step, is it wrong?

    I've actually done that with reasonable success, but at the end of the day, it's just really nice to not have to rely on another piece of gear, you know? It's not the most comfortable thing to have to work around sometimes, either. THough that is probably more a mental barricade on my part.

    Tuning up a half step, is it wrong?

    Hehe, father forgive me... Actually, that is quite interesting about Dick Lovgren. Honestly, I had him pegged as the downtuning sort, but they are a progressive enough band that I suppose it shouldn't come as too much of a surprise. Guitar players also love their E chords, don't they? We...

    Tuning up a half step, is it wrong?

    Yeah, I've been using EB Hybrids, but they are due for a change, so I might grab a lighter set. Playing with horns often, I find myself in the key of Bb a lot, and so it's not a huge deal to lose the low E, and it's nice to be able to use all of the major harmonic nodes in that key. I would...

    Tuning up a half step, is it wrong?

    So I have a solo spot in my high school jazz band, and lately I've been experimenting with tuning up a half step to exploit the wealth of harmonics at the twelfth and twenty fourth fret. I am really, really liking it, so much I am actually thinking of having my bass set up to accommodate this...

    what does the master tone actually do ?

    Mat's got it right, I think, it's just a treble cut.
