    A thread for with which to vent.

    "Lose" - as in, you need to lose weight, has ONE "O" "Loose" - as in, this handle is loose, has TWO.

    Band name copyright/trademark

    Anyone can file a trademark and it costs $325 to do so - go online to http://www.uspto.gov/ You kind of have to put on your "Jr attorney" hat (I file the trademarks for the brand names my company uses) but if you take your time & read through everything carefully, you don't need an attorney. In...

    Of Groupies and Flashers?

    Jake - I mean this earnestly and not to be rude and I haven't read the rest of the thread yet but I need to say this, think of it as friendly womanly advice. It isn't your responsibility to nurture and cultivate the egos of anyone else, much less the types of girls who are groupies. They are...

    "not clicking" musically: need to vent

    Try not to be so hard on yourself - bkbirge gave some good advice. Keep on keepin' on - because there will always be outside forces influencing how much energy we have to spend on certain activities and the creative ones are the most sensitive. I hit walls all the time because I haven't...

    Rant on guitar player (unheard of, I know)

    Yeah, I know - nobody ever vents about the guitar players in their band so this may be surprising to some of you (ha ha). I joined our band 6 months ago and love all of my band brothers dearly, we do this out of friendship and love - we all have full time careers and our band is for...

    What to do?

    What do you mean by treating this as a hobby until you find a "more real band"? What makes a different band "more real" than this one?

    I've always felt it should be "vacume" You know, like legume, volume, perfume, etc. But I'm not in charge of such things!

    A thread for with which to vent.

    I need to vent about people in airports. Specifically, the 15 or 20 people who were in gate C17 in the Orlando airport waiting to board the flight to DFW this last Wednesday. My boarding pass said "GROUP 1". Group 1 people board before group 2 and group 3 people! So why were all of you group 2...

    What's the dumbest thing a non-musician has ever said to you?

    I belong to a local Rotary club and we have weekly lunch meetings and hear different guest speakers every week. There is no band - it isn't that kind of thing. It's a philanthropic group of small business owners and professionals - the median age is probably 60. I'm one of the handful of members...

    Bummed

    With all due respect - you did post on this forum saying you were not happy with how the new guy treated you and you did say you didn't play very frequently and you eluded to having rudimentary abilities (I don't remember your OP verbatim) so people are just trying to give you the advice that...

    The Soundgear Club

    My SRX700 will hold a note way, way, ridiculously longer than I'd ever need it to and occasionally I let it ring at the end of a song for a long time just for fun and because I can :) I like it when the two guitar players in my band look at me and are like, "OK" and I'm like, "No...It's not over...

    The Soundgear Club

    It is a neck through - and I have no idea how it compares to a bolt-on because I've only played these. My first bass was the 4 string version of this one (SRX700) and when I wanted to change to 5 string I really liked that this was the same as what I had before so I jumped on it. I love my 4...
