    Tips for singing while playing bass

    I sing both backing and main vocals in my band depending on the song, honestly what helped me was when practicing my bass parts i would talk to my self aloud while playing. It can be tricky if you are playing crazy riffs you just have to separate fingers from your voice. I think of it like how...

    For both band leaders & players. Are dates confirmed before or after confirming player availability?

    Our Drummer usually talkes to the venues and finds out what dates are available then ask everyone else about avalibility before anything gets confirmed.

    Eric Church cancels a sold-out show because he got Final Four tickets.

    My dad would do that with every Nascar or Basket-Ball event he wasn't able to watch live. make perfect sense to me to DVR it.

    Time for a second bass, maybe...

    I have the Multi-scale 5 string version of this and I absolutely love it.

    What set of strings would be best for tuning to BEAD and Drop A on a 34" scale bass?

    I used some Ernie Ball beefy's on mine to play in drop A. I also used a 5 string set like what was mentioned above. I had to make slight adjustments to truss rod and bridge to keep everything intonated correctly. it worked pretty well.

    Which Ric 4003 should I get

    I've never seen anyone use it.. how does it even work? Is it really just as simple as running it through two different rigs?

    Which Ric 4003 should I get

    Honestly that's kinda how I feel.. I love the inlays and natural finishes get me hot and bothered. The deciding factor was really price. Just wanted to get some opinions on the two. Thanks everyone!!
