    Alternative Rock Bassists Club

    TV On The Radio is a great band to check out. That's where I get my inspiration from mostly.

    Ever hate a song so much you'd risk being fired?

    When that song comes onto the radio I have to literally restrain myself from hurling all over the place.

    Best laptop for recording ( $500 max )

    I use an Alienware 14-inch to run REAPER when I'm producing drum-n-bass, but something much less expensive should do the trick, like a Samsung or one of the Dell Inspirons.

    KOAN Sound - The Edge. Just do it.

    Is this normal for fingerstyle?

    Alright thanks for the info. I'm a beginner so I should probably refrain from getting into the habit of it.

    Is this normal for fingerstyle?

    When I'm playing on the E string, particularly whilst playing very fast, I slap my fingers against the bass.. making an audible click sound. I find it much easier to play fast this way. When I'm playing on any other string I will let my finger continue on to silently hit on the string above it...

    Alternative Rock Bassists Club

    It's the name of the genre ¬¬ I would assume it means alternative to mainstream rock.

    Alternative Rock Bassists Club

    Hey. Couldn't find one of these already so I hope there isn't already one. Obviously I'll be claiming spot number 1! :D My favourite alternative band at the moment is Cage The Elephant, you guys should check them out if you haven't already. My bass is a T-Bird which I think really looks...

    D'Addario chrome flats = pretty bright!

    I love flats so much. It just really suits the tone I'm going for, and my style of playing.

    My first setup - Wow! If I had known it was this easy I'd have saved a lot of dough

    Thinking of trying this out. Only have one bass which I love and spend a lot of time polishing, replacing strings, etc. so it seems fitting that I should set it up properly too. Was looking at this nice kit here: Invalid Link Removed Does this seem like a good investment to you guys??

    Should I learn piano or drums?

    Definitely learn drums. You can't play rock on a piano.
