I'm moving out of state in a couple of months/month and a half by airplane and I have a ESP LTD B-1004 Bass with a hardshell case(this one Invalid Link Removed). Will I be allowed to carry the bass inside the airplane with me or would it be to big to fit in an overhead compartment? Anyone have...

I'm a fan of bands like Megadeth, Metallica, and Iron Maiden. I mainly buy metal albums to learn, along with enjoying them too of course. I pretty much learned most songs/albums by those bands I've mentioned. Can anyone recommend metal albums that might be in the same vein as those bands...

I'm looking for good warm up songs for playing with a pick. I got recommended to do some ramones songs which I'm getting around too. I learned carry on my wayward son last week and I really enjoy warming up to it. It's diverse enough where I play slow riffs to medium to a little bit faster...

Yeah I prefer playing along to songs rather than exercises. Thanks for the help

Btw any particular ramones or misfits songs you recommend to warm up too?

I think that's good advice. Playing slow for five minutes or so sounds reasonable. I'm ok with warming up my left hand, a lot of exercises for that. But not too many exercises for the right hand for people that play with a pick

Cool, will do. I think dee dee ramone only downpicks too. I was watching a live concert from the 70's and that's all he does

Chris squire is a really good bassist, i think playing to some Yes would be good

Any exercises or advice on warming up your right hand? I play with a pick and only downpick. I play technical, fast songs so I'm looking for decent warm up exercises to get started. Thanks

That's good news. I'm a fan of DR's. If their good on thru body I'm set. I want to try D'Addario's though, if I don't click with them I'll put on some DR's forsure :)

I used to play those exclusively, good strings

Cool, sounds good

Cool, I'm sold brother. I'm trying those next

Forsure, I'm gonna play it safe and just get the 38 inch. Thanks man

Cool, I don't think I've ever tried D'Addario's before. Been wanting to try those out
