    Japanese Bands

    I'm a Scandal band fan. They are not really technical but I love their songs. They are good performers too. I've seen them played twice already. If you are into all japanese girl band, I also recommend (aside from Scandal), Band Maid, Drops, Aldious, Dollsboxx, and Mary's Blood.

    what was the first song you learned?

    The first song I learned in guitar was Stand By Me. The chords are G Em C D if you use a capo. When I decided to try bass, I heard that song again and realized that the song has a nice basslines. It also became the first song that I learned in Bass.

    Does color matter to you??

    It matters to me. The first thing that I will notice in a bass is it's color. If I don't like the color of the finish, I will not test it and therefore I will not know the tone and feel of it.

    Practicing Alone Poll

    Mostly sitting. I like to memorize the bass lines first. After memorizing the bass lines, I will practice it with the song. If I can do it without problem in timing then I will practice it standing.

    Why have so many basses?

    I'm one of those with expensive bass with limited talent. My expensive SX bass boost my ego. I don't really care about talent when I play it. :)

    I have one bass.

    I'm a one bass person too. As much as possible, I want my SX P bass to be my only bass. Lately though, I've been thinking of buying another bass as my secondary bass. I will leave that bass on my parents house so I don't have to carry my bass on a 60km commute during weekends.

    How Important is good frontman in a band?

    Yep. I'm still in the band but I'm already talking to someone about forming a new band. I'm still hoping that the band leader will change his mind and get a new vocalist/frontman. I will try my best to break with them in good terms. They are nice people and I want to be friends with them as...

    How Important is good frontman in a band?

I've been thinking of picking up the microphone during the break since I think I can do the MC (talking to the crowd) better but it's just solving half of the problem. We really need a better singer. He is a good guitarist in a sense that he have great chops and...
