I've played bass on and off for years. I still remember songs from the 80's without missing a beat. I am 59 years old, I am having a really hard time remembering songs I learned last week. It's put me in a funk to the point, I haven't played anything in two years. It's just frustrating. EDIT: I...

I am a dyed in the wool metalhead, yet, I effing love this!

I started out playing with fingers(which is my main style). I started experimenting with a pick, not long after. Certain songs sound better with a pick and some with fingers. It's a good habit to learn both, if you can. I can jump back and forth between the two without any difficulty.

Ah yes. I remember it well. I had gone to the local strip mall and got the Alice Cooper album, "Go To Hell". At all places the local toy store(they sold records, too, weird I know). I am playing the album in my bedroom later that day, with the door open. My mom walks buy just as this verse was...

April Wine did a cover of it,it's on the Harder,Faster...album I believe.

Finally changed out the bridge on mine last weekend. Slowly getting her more black. Tuners are next!

Even if you don't like buying used,and really want this bass,you should consider it. It hasn't been out long,and the used ones for sale are still in nice shape at this point in time.

Got one for Christmas. Just changed out the chrome knobs for these:

I bought this Guitarx tuner from Amazon for 22 bucks ,not too long ago. Works great so far.

As far as new bands go,I would have to say Greta Van Fleet's previous drummer. I do not know the circumstances on how he left the band,however. All I know is they are BLOWING UP!

I lost my 1967 Gibson EBO to a pawn shop in 2007. Was having hard financial issues at the time,pawned it for gas money of all things. It hurts my heart to this day,had it 21 years. Still have the damn serial number memorized.
