    Does anyone else find it difficult to play bass with a pick?

    I can't hold a pick properly, so after about a minute, my thumb starts to get really sore. So I just stick to using my fingers. But to be honest, I think that for the music I play (metal), a pick sounds better.

    Ever write songs bass line first?

    I write a lot with bass first, but that's just because I tend to play bass way more than guitar (could have something to do with me being absolutely terrible at guitar). But most of the time I'll have lyrics somewhere, and music somewhere, and I'll just kinda match them up. Usually because I...

    What's the most embarassing Music you own?

    I like Disney pop... I have Miley Cyrus, Demi Lovato, Selena Gomez and Emily Osment. I also have some Billy Ray Cyrus and Taylor Swift. Then there's Lily Allen, Katy Perry and the Veronicas. And pretty much the rest of my music is metal or punk :P

    question for metal bassist

    More just a personal preference by me. I find it hard to play with drop tuning. I don't mind when other bands use it. Also, what's with a lot of you talking about breakdowns as if that's the most important thing? A song should be much more than just the breakdown, unless you're one of these...

    How long did it take you?

    Under a year... But I played guitar for a couple of years before that. Strange how I've never looked back at the guitar since I picked up the bass :P

    question for metal bassist

    I tune down to DGCF, but then again, I refuse to let my guitarist drop just the top string, because that's lame. :D

    Dave Ellefson Rejoins Megadeth!!

    I'm just curious as to what exactly happened to Lomenzo. I'm pretty happy about this, because I prefer Ellefson to Lomenzo, but if Lomenzo was fired just to make room for Ellefson to come back, that would be pretty lame.

    Two awesome ones that haven't been mentioned: Frank Bello - Anthrax D.D. Verni - Overkill Greg Christian - Testament And already mentioned: Dave Ellefson - Megadeth Peter Iwers - In Flames Really, look at a lot of the old school thrash guys, they usually have awesome tone.
