    Add new material 5 hours before load-in?

    In my first band, we had one member who essentially acted as the self-appointed band leader. He would often try to add extra songs into our setlists a day or two before shows. Sometimes, not everybody knew the song, or the song sounded bad at rehearsal. He was trying to pad our setlist to make...

    BL wants me to pick one bass and stick with it

    I personally don't like being told what equipment to use, but I also only own 4 basses, and I do understand the desire for consistency. I don't think three is too bad. It's definitely better than one. I've played entire sets on one bass before, but I do like to mix in the others when I can.

    When did you realize you were a bassist?

    The summer after my freshman year of high school, I joined my first band as the lead vocalist. I was close friends with the lead guitarist. We jammed quite a bit over the summer.

    I really like this one. The tone is great, and it's super lightweight.

    Why did you quit a band?

    I was in a cover band for three years in high school, from the end of freshman year to the end of senior year. All four other members were two years younger than me. Most of them were extremely immature. The rhythm guitarist was not a competent player, and his amp was almost always muted at...

    The Dumbest Accident You Had With A Bass

    Last year, after jamming with some friends at my house, I was taking my bass off to put it on its stand, but the headstock hit a light-bulb on the ceiling and shattered it.

    Do you name your basses?

    I'm still trying to figure out a name for my Washburn P. You may have just given me it!

    Are you a 5 string or 4 string player?

    I own two fours (one acoustic, one electric) and a five. I play the five every day, and I only use the fours for acoustic songs or when a song is significantly easier on a four string in tunings like Drop C# or Drop C.
