    so i have 2 questions.........

    He's right. Although slapping is a very nice skill to master, and shows that you are a good bassist, it doesn't necessarily mean that you are not a good bassist if you cant slap. Even bassists that slap can be bad bassists, what matters is how you make use of the sound you produce. Whether it be...

    Orgasmic Slap-Bass

    The "After one hour of use" part was each day. Didn't really find it boring until I had nothing else to play. Thanks to scrunks by the way.

    Orgasmic Slap-Bass

    Okay, I just got better at slap/pop-bass. Before I learned how to do it though, I found the bass pretty boring after one hour of use, since most of what I know is on acoustic guitar, not bass. Anyway, when I learned how to slap and pop with my bass, the feeling of playing bass was almost like...

    Should I continue joining a band?

    Thank you Stumbo, for the link. :D I think it will help a lot :hyper: Playing with like minded people isn' really an option for now. But I know this amazing drummer, we've been planning to make a jamming band but can't find a "Jazz" guitarist. All we ever find is screamo, so all we can play is...

    Should I continue joining a band?

    I didn't say I wanted to be in it. That band is like one of the 2 choices I have. Either Screamo, or Paramore. I can't even choose, but I kind of dislike Screamo. But the "Paramore" band doesn't really know enough yet. Either join, or not. Though I do know one very good drummer and...

    Should I continue joining a band?

    Okay, I just want some advice :D I'm not sure if I want to join a band yet, since 2 of the bands that I know told me that they're good and they want me to join their. I played with one, all they knew was Canon Rock, a little metal songs (Like Escape The Fate).:help: We played with our teacher...

    Playing the Root Note

    Root Notes are the reason I can come up with real good basslines :P Play Roots if you want to stay safe, and when a really good bassline pops up in your mind while jamming, and it fits perfectly with what you're playing, go for it. :D

    Beck -Bass

    Hey guys, I just want to know if the bassist in this band (THe real band, not the anime one) Is good. I personally like it, but not sure everyone else would. The bass starts at: 2:32 The original song was by The Beatles by the way.

    A theory: longer songs = more technically skilled band. Plausible?

    How do you learn by ear?

    I don't really know, I preferplaying music byear though, since i can make some stuff sound better. You would probably need to know about intervals. Im not sure if I haveperfect pitch because I don't memorize the name of each note :P Intervals and Scales are very important

    BADASS BASSISTS

    Jamerson, Myung, and Maybe even Burton are on my list. But that's my list. IMO there is no most badass musician :D I think the question should be changed to "Who do you think is the most badass bassist?" :D:D

    How old were you on your first gig?

    I was probably 12 or 13 (if you count playing bass sometime at church, if you don't, I have never gigged) Does gigging mean playing with a big audience or playing in bars? :s Im pretty confused

    Working definition of "guitard"

    guitard - object, noun - any guitarist who thinks he's best because he knows a lot of easy riffs, but does not know the basics. Can be easily spotted. - an arrogant guitarist. Does not think of the band. Okay i think that isn't enough

Now I own a 4-string Epiphone Les Paul Limited Edition (not really sure if that's what it's called). Then i got accepted my school's band, they only had a 5-string...
