    6 pages of this and hardly anything on Dirty Loops. I live in bizarro world. Oh, and I did a search.

    Stage Frieght ??? Yes/No Im just a carrot ??

    First of all, stage fright has nothing to do with how many times you've been on stage. Eddie Van Halen had it; Luciano Pavarotti had it; Adele has it. Ozzy, Brian Wilson, Carly Simon...the list is pretty long. Second, all the people who say they're anxious before going onstage have it. They...

    Mike Huckabee with Rickenbacker

    I'm sure I've seen your videos on Youtube jamming with Brian Welch of Korn, Def Leppard, and Lynyrd Skynyrd. Oh wait, I haven't...

    Relaxium's active ingredients are melatonin and tryptophan. There's a little "organic" nonsense in there, but nothing dangerous, unless you consider chamomile or passionflower addictive.

    Politics ruins everything. And when politics is your religion; guess who's doing the ruining?

    Rick Beato says Hendrix wouldn’t be a star today.

    Everybody knows that 99% of stuff on Youtube is people trolling, right?

    I hate all amplifiers

    I think my D800+ is fairly uncolored. I'd never describe it as "gritty" The most transparent amplifier I've heard is the Epifani.

    jam etiquette

    First, you can't fire the drummer. No matter how loud he's banging. I agree with the annoying guitar wankery at blues and jazz jams. At least the horn players know when to stop. I used to hate singers who can't sing, but have come to love them. Always puts a smile on my face to hear someone...

    We did what you ain't spoze to did.

    I'm glad you took my post with the humor that was intended. People like you take the craft part of playing bass seriously and that's cool.

    We did what you ain't spoze to did.

    But did you get every nuance? Because I'd hate it if you didn't nail every single note correct. I mean 99% is good, but you only go for perfection, right? ;) Maybe the beer helped your perception. :laugh:

    How were you using gear WRONG as a noob?

    I played my bass way down low on the strap with a pick on roundwound strings that were years old because I thought that was so "punk rock". I didn't care what the knobs did on my amplifier, I just set them to "look cool".
