    Right handed player with much faster left handed plucks???

    It has stood in the way of my playing for a long time. I am a natural lefty and, as such, holding the bass with the headstock to the right feels correct to me. That's how I air-bass. :D However (and I don't know if it's from using a computer or just living in a right-handed world), while...

    What was the name of that site?!?

    Someone recently posted a link to a site that seemed to be full of nothing but videos of bassists playing through covers. It seemed the idea was, you learn a song super-tight, and then post a vid of yourself playing it so others can learn and then everyone shares. I thought I bookmarked it...

    Stupid Groupies.

    The original post still never happened. It was a reference to a cartoon. People are not reading the thread and are simply foaming at the mouth about nothing. :scowl: ~ The Fun Police

    Stupid Groupies.

    "chaps i don't think this thread is going to help TB lose its 'boy's club' reputation much. how's about we ease up a little on what is starting to sound dangerously like embittered misogyny?" Agreed. Many of us have wives / girlfriends, mothers, daughters, sisters, etc. who we wouldn't...

    Stupid Groupies.

    Yeah, 'cuz assaulting women is fun. Almost as much fun as getting assaulted yourself, when you finally get to jail. "But, but, she insulted my musical instrument, Your Honor...!" :eyebrow:

    Strange things seen at gigs (on the t.v.'s over the bar.)

    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/R._Budd_Dwyer Looks like we're both right. Now, for 200 dollars, what was the name of the robot movie?

    Strange things seen at gigs (on the t.v.'s over the bar.)

    ...When I was at Coney Island High (in '95?) they were insterspersing black & white Japanese live-action robot pr0n (giant power drill, anyone?) with footage of that senator who shot himself, shooting himself. Fun place! :eyebrow:

    Musician earplugs

    I saw a 5-band punk rock extravaganza headlined by the Dickies (with puppet) and emcee'd by Joey Ramone in the basement of Coney Island High some 15 years ago and the noise was so brutal I had to stick cigarette butts in my ears... :eyebrow:

    Vegetarian Club Anyone?

    Avast, me hearties! The wife and I have been vegetarian for a few years now. I could never go back. I am not quite vegan in that, while I don't eat anything with a face, I do eat things that, if fertilized, incubated, and allowed to hatch could potentially have faces. :hiding: I did...

    Anyone here play WoW?

    My wife and I played from '04 'til a few months ago. We used to love it; co-ran a guild for years, played for a few hours every day, etc., but now, with a new house (that needs some work), a (completely awesome) 9-month-old daughter, and my rekindled love for the bass, we've cancelled our...

    Things that sound like bass facts.... but aren't

    This made me LOL. :D I saw a local cover band a few months ago where the bassist had his (6-string, iirc) axe up to his armpits and spent the whole time looking down on everyone as though he were king of the world. Only comments from my (non-muso) friends were, "wow, that dude has an...
