    New Year bass resolutions

    I've resolved to look at why I play bass (and music in general) differently. I picked up bass a few years ago to get into a band that is really awesome, and although it's still going strong (released an EP, working on our first full length) I've realized that you can't count on anybody but...

    Eden VT300 advise

    Ok, so I have the opportunity to purchase an Eden vt300 from my local pawn shop for a discounted price of $700 after tax. I've spent some time with it already, and I love the sound, although I havent heard it in a mix. The issue is, there is some static/crackling and drop in volume after 5-10...

    Practice Regimen for one hour per day? Help please.

    I would recommend spending some time every day attempting to play along with some of your favorite songs. Just throw on an album you like and start picking out what the bass player is doing.

    Originals or covers? What is the scene like now for the younger ones?

    Where I'm at (Austin, TX) you can still play originals and get paid, but to make good money you need to be able to entertain for 2-3 hours. We have about 5 gigs around texas where we can play originals 10-2am and get paid $500+. Or, we can play a short set 45 min or so and make $100 total or...

    Curious - who has a gig tonight or this weekend.....

    We're playing Friday in Galveston. It's about a 4 hour drive from our home base Austin, but it's worth it. We'll play about 3 hours of originals to a packed dance floor and get payed well to do it. We'll most likely drive straight back to Austin that night and get in around 7am. Here's a...
