    Has anyone ever picked up radio off of their amp?

    it only happened once but in our old practice space i was talking with my hands like i always do and pointed at a cd player that was playing with the volume all way down and it started playing over my amp. i had no contact with the cd player whatsoever. I still have no idea how it did it and...

    What's one of the dumbest/most embarrassing bass moments you've had or witnessed?

    Right away i want to say that this was VERY dumb on my part. i was with my old band and we played a house/barn party. when we got there i found out we were third so i decided its time to start drinkin. normally i can handle my drink pretty well. but this time by the time i got on stage i was...

    What's the dumbest thing a non-musician has ever said to you?

    I've had the same question a thousand times (why does yours only have four strings) to which i usually respond "I only need four strings to sound cool, unlike other tards" (pointing at my guitarist)

    Cover Band Rant.

    i think most people missed the point of the orignal post, this was a beatles cover band in what sounds like a metal type bar. then the guy was bitchin about not makin much money. I dont think he was really bashin on cover bands (even though i would personally) The owner books any band no...

    The "So What, I'm a Bass Player" Game

    "dude, you are way to drunk to go onstage right now" So what?? I'm a bass player. "good point, but we'd better turn his amp off again"

    Cover Band Rant.

    good point, a band has to know wher they fit and where they dont. I play in a punk band, so i try not to book shows a jazz bars. when i was in a metal band i didnt book shows at top 40 bars. you gotta know where to draw the line. i mean a show is a show, but you cant expect everyone to like you...

    Any gig almost kill you?

    I once tried to throw my bass behind me and the wireless pack i was using got caught on my shirt. my bass smacked me right in the back of the head, i almost passed out onstage. i didnt notice until after our set that i had a lot of blood on the side of my facee/neck and all down the back of my...

    You use a P bass.... What Tuning you use?

    i filed down the nut on mine and put a 5 string set on it, thats when i was playing in drop b (BABG) but in this band i use standard tuning. But with those thicker gauge strings i get an ultra beefy tone out of it.

    That 'Punk bass' sound.

    I'd probably jump on that deal if i didnt just buy a t-bird two weeks ago. even though i'd hate to say it, rent is slightly more important. only slightly.
