    Last Albums You Listened To In Their Entirety?

    Ozzy - The Ultimate Sin for me, it is the last good Ozzy album, and I think that is forgotten about. Side 2 (showing my age....) is killer all the way through.

    Pre show noodling by band mates

    I play in a hardcore punk/crossover thrash band, and even though most of our shows would be what many on here would call "informal", there is still a level of professionalism you have to have to assure that the crowd, bar, fellow band mates, other bands etc. take you seriously and respect what...

    Band rehearsal with a metronome?

    the key is to NOT be "Met Nazi's". Live, we never sweat what the tempo is at. As long as it feels good, there is no fighting about what number it is. I think people get too wrapped up in that element...especially players who don't know or have much else they can say, but want to sound like they...

    Calling all P-bass players!

    I prefer maple all the time.... that being said, 3 of my 4 basses have rosewood boards b/c other things about them were more important and I got one of the basses as a gift (my Fender 92 AVRI 62 Jazz), so I was not going to turn that away....

    I've Never Played More Than 4 Strings

    this is pretty much me as well. I don't feel like i fully understand 4 strings yet. Some might say that is weird, but it is where I am at!!!! I would try an 8 string (since it is really just an enhanced 4) if I could find one that felt right. Usually the necks are too big for my liking
