Not MY kid, but my little brother (13) constantly bashes on my playing. Especially if he walks in while I'm learning something. He'll typically say "That sounds terrible" even if I know I'm doing it right. I'm no Wooten but whenever I try slapping, it sounds decent, but then he really starts to...

Considering these the most, as well as a few from Mr. Wooten: “Is anyone working on a bomb that makes people love you? I believe we already have it, and it’s called music.” “Never lose the groove in order to find a note.” “You can’t speak music with notes alone, but you can speak notes with...

Thanks a lot guys, I really appreciate it. Loving the responses, mulling everything over :D

Germany and Austria are very hospitable and friendly, even when all the German you know is thank you, please, and where's the toilet. They'll help a lost tourist and be kind while doing so. Poorer parts of Mexico are surprisingly amiable, at least in the daytime. Turkey has got to be the worst...

So I'm a senior in high school and the sheet for our senior quotes just came out. I obviously want to do something bass-y, and thought I'd ask my good friends on TBOT if you have any that really mean something :) But even if it isn't bass related, any quotes are welcome. So far, my thought is...

+1 I used Sweetwater and grabbed a 6 string set for $30, no shipping fees. The last time I bought a set was for a 4 string in person from a local shop and that set me back something like $35. Literally more money for less product. Buy them online!

I totally agree. This idea is one of the reasons that I love Tool's live performances. They basically play in the dark, with no real movement on stage or dancing. This way they can all play or sing to the fullest extent and not have to worry about image. Not only does it help the music but it...

I actually just ordered the same set from my earlier post (Swing Bass 66) for my 6-string with soapbars. I'll review them once they come in.

Wow, I was off by a little bit. Lol. Thanks though! EDIT: After some research I found that they were made around 98.

Am I allowed in? I just grabbed this DeArmond Pilot Deluxe VI. Great bass, and essentially the same as the Guild: Also does anyone know of a serial number pattern for these? I know it was probably made in the late 70's or early 80's but a solid year would be nice.

Has something like this happened before?

So... so beautiful...

The Swing Bass 66's sound AWESOME on my Squier Jazz. They're bright all the time but a few knob turns send the tone from punchy and very Tool-esque to warmer and jazzier.

I looked on the Fender website a while ago and saw the new custom thing. At first I was super excited, thinking it was similar to ESP/LTD or Carvin, both of which are awesome, very "custom" basses. The Fender is basically choosing color, pickguard color, and (I think) upgraded...

That race yesterday.... Oh man. I think better than Canada, even though Alonso is my favorite driver and got passed by RIC.
