Jaco. Nuff' said.

Stop your squabbling or... someone will turn the car around and go strait home. I can imagine a confrontation being something like, "he said it first!" "no, I have more power, you suck!" Go get a drink with him and talk it through. Even you have to drink cola...

Trace Elliot and Line6 I don't "own" the TE yet but I shall soon enough! I really liked the Line6 for recording and for the DI.

Haven't found anything better than the Geddy!

A few points I would like to disagree with. My bass is nagging me right now because her strings are a little worn. Oh, and there's this fret. UGH! My bass gives me attitude all the time. I sorta like it though. I have been late on the account of my bass many, many times. "Oh...

Syllabic Salutations (Stressing the wrong syllables of course) A Minor Pun Be Sharp You See? Ain't Nothin' But a Gee Flat Tax Code Fraudulence Appendectomy Blatant Subtly That's it for now. These would also make killer song titles, most of em.

C'mon! Those books are so cheap! just hit your local guitar shop and their bound to have em.

What would you say is the one pedal/effect/doohickey that no bassist should be without? Regardless of style or whatever you say would make this choice depending on some situation. Not just your favorite pedal/effect/doohickey, that master doohickey of all thingamabobbers.

I am SOOO inspired. Hey, I give Fieldy props for playing in Korn, w/e I don't like the group. And yea, If he fits thats fine but DON'T MAKE AN INSTRUCTIONAL video if you can't do anything more. I doubt it would be hard to learn Korn songs (I haven't tried, so sorry). I'm sure that an...

Metronomes! Scale fragments! Arpeggios! Rawr! Like I'm sure you've heard a thousand times. Just keep practicing and staying sharp. As far as writing or free-styling solos, unless you want to sound like someone else, don't play their solos. You'll get a voice if you just jam along with...

All differences stated, but also note the vintage tuners, which I have yet to find a problem with (you have to string them differently). The main beauty is the neck all else aside. I'd say that the neck is, if not almost, the thickness of a guitar neck. The width is also very small at the...

1 o'clock seems to be the more "professional" position. I would say a bass with smaller string width is best (especially for playing faster). That is the case for fingers and picks too since smaller distance between strings = shredz.

My first was a Fender Squire Precision Bass which I played for a while. Then I got an Ibanez Soundgear and never looked back. To make that bass useful, I defretted her and now she's got a great stand-up sound with a bare wood finger board that only a Pbass can reproduce. I don't feel much use...

I use strings commonly found in stores like Ernie Balls. Special strings sound good but I like only paying 20 bucks for a set of Ernie Rounds, 40 - 100s. Especially nice if you prefer to change strings often, or happen to need a new set of strings 10 min before a gig...

Shoot, I remember when I didn't work out and now that I do work out. The difference is not much to me. My thing was mainly a shoulder thing where, after an hour or so of playing I couldn't lift my arm. That's no good. A 15 minute break later and I'm fine for another hour. I think the...
