I feel you i've been there. Be glad you dont have a GF. Women always feel the bf band as a competition and will always get sick on practice day. "come take care of me, you are saying the band comes first?" You really have to be clear that the band comes first if you want this as a career. Once...

Thank you again forr all tue answers! I have small hands. So im loving tye playability the jazz gives me. Im wondering what wil happen when i tackle the MM again in 2 months for all the shows after the album is released. We even have a 5 gig tour planned! Sorry for typos.. Posting from a...

It's really interesting to borrow someone else's gear or to let someone play yours. The other day a band friend stopped by the rehearsel and asked me if he could jam with my bass for a while. He didn't change anything at the amp or the general settings and he sounded REALLY different...

Thank you so much for all the answers! I play rather agressive (which is not always a good thing), I think the manager and the producer were trying to have a more mellow sound. I'm new in this band, they have been playing for some time now and the original bassist quit because he didn't...

My main bass is a Musicman Stingray, im recording in a serious studio with my band on September and we made some pre-recordings 2 weeks ago so we could each listen to our mistakes and play better for the record. 2 different people, (whose opinions I respect greatly) suggested the band needed...

Sumo - Estallando Desde el Océano - YouTube Hope you love it as much as I, this song is in English. So maybe you'll enjoy it more.

Hey! I wanted to introduce you to a Bassist from Argentina you probably won't know.. Tell me what you think! Band: Divididos Songs: Ala Delta Ala Delta - Divididos (Pepsi Music 2006) - YouTube Salir a comprar DIVIDIDOS "salir a comprar" - YouTube And my favorite...

That's so true, the only way to learn that lesson is with experience.:p

Usually when this type of situations come up, where other band members try tu put you against the wall: "It's me or him". I just tell them, "Ok, good luck figuring it out" What I mean by that is that they should decide who is leaving, if only the two of them have a beef why should all the band...

Have you considered 1spot? Google it. I can't use anything else.

Join me to the club! I'll post some pics of my trusty Micro-VR onstage on a gig I will be playing

I agree you have to mix both styles to keep it interesting.. Just work with the song.

Great Question! When a bass line is doubling the guitar riff, the bassist is pretty much playing the same thing the guitarist does but limiting himself to root notes. A good example of this is the Nirvana song "Breed". Although, when the Bass is following the Drums, the Bassist is usually...

I think the dreads are a sort of beacon to attract his groove power. Kind of what Bob Marley did for attracting his "make-you-feel-good-with-just-the-sound-of-my-voice" power :D

Sorry for not being specific! :hmm: Yes, I'm talking about the boss guitar phaser.. Is it true though it will cut my bottom end? I haven't tried it with the band yet so not sure..
