Murderface: "Oh, like it matters. I'll just pretend play. It won't be the first time."

+1 to a nylon strap. Those and Straploks should just come standard with every bass.

I know nothing about whether there is a rise in the number of female bass players or whether the reason they are choosing to do so is for the sex appeal but with every fiber of my being, I hope that both are true. :ninja:

I just wish that I could train my ear to actually hear low notes. :) Unfortunately, my ears are pretty well shot, with the exception of very high pitched sounds. Having tried every trick that I can to isolate low notes enough to hear them in the mix, the best thing that I've found is to run a...

Awesome way to promote your music. I can name around a dozen bands that I've gotten into because of hearing their tracks in Rock Band.

Of the bands that I like that I'm supposed to be embarrassed by, I'd have to go with Nickelback, Slipknot, Ratt, Puddle of Mudd, and maybe Mushroomhead? Not sure if Mushroomhead is supposed to be a mark of shame in general or just when paired with Slipknot, but either way I like 'em a lot.

I'm working on using finger picks as I much prefer finger style but I like the sound of a pick. I picked up some brass finger picks and like the sound, but they dig into the back of my fingers after a few minutes and if I sweep my fingers from E to D or G, I'll sometimes move a bit too low and...

Yes, welcome to the wonderful world of business. If every investment was a sure thing, every small business owner would be Bill Gates. Whether it's a band, a jukebox, radio or TV ads, pinball machines, goofy neon signs, or cute girls in bikinis, club and bar owners often spend money trying to...

Directors don't audition actors by having them perform in their revenue generating productions for free. The audition takes place in private and once the decision is made to put the actor in the production, pay is provided. Even extras get a per diem and they just serve as props most of the...

Some services that you pay for, you know what the result is going to be before you pay. You go for an oil change and you know that in exchange for your $20 that you will have fresh oil and a new filter when you leave. Your car may explode from something unrelated five minutes after you leave...

I got my starter bass there, but I can't say that I much liked the place. The staff really didn't seem to know anything about bass so I ended up just grabbing something. Still, I was just looking for a cheap piece to cut my teeth on so I imagine that it worked out better than some aficionado...

Everybody like Yahtzee; some people just don't know it yet. ;)

Anyone know of any remixes that use these master tracks to rebuild some tunes off of Justice with Jason's bass lines added into the mix? I'm really curious to know what that album should have sounded like since I've just always written it off as the beginning of the end of Metallica rather than...

I don't pretend to understand what it's like to live in an environment where you have to constantly seek approval from people who would judge you for making your own decisions, so I'll just leave out any advice regarding how to deal with your family. Instead, some basics about the long stretch...

Man, now you guys have me wondering about my crappy little 15 watter on my 1/4 acre lot. Fortunately I'm on a corner lot with a cemetery behind me, so I only have one neighbor and she's older than the sun. I think I'm good to go anyhow. Definitely have to keep this in mind for when I break down...
