Apologies for the seriously late reply. Because of the nu metal style music I eventually ended up getting into, I ended up spending a lot of time with the bass swinging low, BUT with me also pulling up towards the strings. And after all that, it wasn't the Bass that gave me sore wrists and...

Update, many years later. Apparently, Chance Thomas, the songwriter was "digging through old hard drives" and found the original. As the author, he decided to upload the tune itself, in a high quality non-ripped version!

The whole thing? Even the dramatic bits?

That damn DX-7 gets arround all over the place!

I just play for the same reason folks sing along to their favourite songs. It's another way to get involved in the music that I enjoy, it's another way to participate :). I don't even have a band, I just play for my own pleasure :).

The arm is healing, slowly but surely. The tingling is now restricted to the last centimeter or so of my finger tips, and I can once again lift the amp up and down from its hiding place. With a little difficulty, but not enough to make it a problem :). I've been trying to get rid of my habit of...

I don't have any band members. 2 years in and I still play tucked away all by myself :D.

Yikes, I don't want to sell the amp, it's the only amp I've got! :D.

Thanks all, for the kind wishes :). The amp is stored in a cupboard because I live in an 8x7x6 room, and there is nowhere else it can go. As it is I had to spend an entire day moving a load of stuff just to make space for the amp :D. I'm 32, and no stranger to the gym, so when I'm not injured...

Yep, I managed to acquire a sparkly new (non-bass related) nerve compression injury that's left my left arm weak and my fingertips tingly. I can actually play bass fine but I physically cannot lift my amp into or out of its cupboard (at shoulder level), so it looks like my basses are getting...

It's weird, apart from it being neck-dive city, I've found the Stagg pretty easy to handle. It's got a ridiculously small neck radius so trying to work along the neck is like trying to work along a tree branch, but it's something different, the 504 is luxurious and sleek by comparison. What I...

Yeah, I've found that over time I've started moving away from open strings, I'm slowly working my way up the fretboard.

Update, 9 weeks later: I found another use for the B String AND I get to use an open B. Didn't think I'd ever do that :D

If I had a lot of money to blow now I'd probably get this: But since I don't have a lot of money to blow, I hope to get this soon:

I've got some exams coming up soon. If I pass, then I get accepted into University! :D If I get accepted into University, I'm going to reward myself by getting myself a B-155DX. One of these: Invalid Link Removed Does anyone have one? Has anyone tried one? Can you awesome and most lovely folks...
