    Am I paranoid or is this too good to be true?

    Well, I was prepared to advise you on all future life decisions, but since you got snippy on me...you're on your own!!

    Am I paranoid or is this too good to be true?

    You live in an apartment and don't gig out. Shouldn't you be selling amps, not buying more? Ask him if he wants to buy a cab.

    My new band’s first tune. Roast me. 😀

    A toe-tapper for sure. I was just being a butt because he asked to be roasted.

    That thing's more boosted than the signal coming out of it.

    My new band’s first tune. Roast me. 😀

    Obviously written by the "lead bass" player. There was one or two notes that were not exactly melody. I suspect those few good-sounding notes were actually played by....*your mom*.

    People vary greatly in both risk tolerance and risk perception. Will the siren call of boosted gear be greater than risk to life and limb? Only OP can decide that.

    Am I paranoid or is this too good to be true?

    My personal decision making process for situations like this: 1. Do I feel like I need a weapon and/or muscle to go to a place? 2. Do I have to go? (Sometimes you do) If 1 is yes and 2 is no, then I don't go.

    This sounds like an exciting adventure - strap-up, slam an energy drink and go in hot. What could possibly go wrong?

    Right Hand Habit - Plucking over the neck

    Buy 3 pickup covers and stack them from the pickup up to the lower part of the fretboard. The only place you'll be able to touch the strings will be between the pickup and bridge. That'll work!

    Why does a JMJ buzz but not a P bass?

    Do it yourself - it's easy and fun if you just go slow. You could try snap-on RF chokes on the feedline at the bass, and at the amp. When you figure it out be sure to come back and tell everybody I was right.

    How to approach choosing my bass?

    You need a 4-string EADG P-Bass, but you can't just buy it now and be happy. First, you have to buy a bunch of active 5-string basses, and when the time is right you'll get there. There's no shortcuts, I'm afraid.

    Wireless bass practicing

    I use these - they are outstanding quality and have several nice metronome/drumbeats. You can also choose to play with songs via bluetooth off your phone. It's expensive but worth it.

    Music: You loved/you can no longer stand - you couldn't stand/you love

    Can't stand listening to Green Day now. Also never liked them previously :) I OD'd on Rush years ago.. Still love them but don't tend to put them on.
