There's even a difference between Metal bass players then and Metal bass players now. Then: E-E-E-E-G-E-E-E-E-G Now: B-B-B-B-D-B-B-B-B-D

That sounds funky!

By cook, you mean %@*&? I guess there is a P-bass waiting for all of us. We just have to find the one that connects with us.

The bassline in the opening theme from Secret of Mana is epic. Too bad it's too short.

About every lunar eclipse or so.

You can noodle in a rehearsal day, if it's during the pizza break. Sometimes you're just noodling and another band member notices it and say "Hey, do that again! It sounds cool! Let's use it in a new song."

Did you wait at least 30 seconds before you flip the Stand-by switch?

I was facing this exact cunundrum this last month. I went with the V-4B and I don't regret it. It is plenty loud for gigs (given that you have a decent cab, of course). I love its tone, actually, I can't get enough of it. Also, since money is an issue, go to eBay or thetubestore.com and...

Japanese school girl outfit.

I mute the upper strings with the same finger I use while I'm fretting the strings. The lower strings are naturally muted with the plucking fingers.

Because I don't break strings like I used to on the guitar.

Looks like a dad having fun with his kids (Miss Boogie Body & Funky B).

Yeah, but the cab I'm buying locally. I have a Peavy BVX 115 that will do the job for now.

I just pulled the trigger on a V-4B. It says it's a demo unit from 2014 NAMM. http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=281270081538 Now for the wait...

I found this old interview where he (Victor Wooten, himself) answers most of your questions. Invalid Link Removed

+1 Survival of the wisest.

"Walk This Way", "Sweet Emotion", and "Dude Looks Like a Lady"

Dunlop Cry Baby 105Q Bass Wah http://www.musiciansfriend.com/amplifiers-effects/dunlop-cry-baby-105q-bass-wah-pedal I wouldn't say useless, maybe in most bands it is. But it's loads of fun, especially when coupled with an overdrive pedal. It'll make want to play Anesthesia, Pulling Teeth.

I was thinking Lucy too! :hyper:

Maybe, for some kid, you're the guy with amazing chops and tone for days. :cool:

Go with #1 band. They challenge your skill set, making you a more complete musician. If you're their weekest member, you'll only get better. Plus, driving ONE HOUR AND A HALF every week takes its toll pretty fast. Sometimes $#!+ happens and band practice gets cancelled the very last minute...

Every time someone was late to rehearsal: "At last, the ROCK STAR has arrived!"

When I started playing bass it was, either I HAD to use it, or I HAD to use it. Now I don't even think about it. It frets just as good as the other three fingers. I have large hands and hefty fingers so maybe that's why it was easy for me, I don't know what's your situation. The chromatic...

Well, will the real JimmyM please stand up!

There's a Guitar Hero version out there that has all the songs without being "masterfully clippinated" the way they were in the album. I wonder what the heck happened in there? Never upset a sound engineer, I guess. On topic: Rob He's slowly but surely bringing Metallica back to their...

...and that, my friend, is why we play slap bass.

Putting yourself into that particular situation is the best thing you can do. It's when we're under pressure that we focus better and thrive. If you mess up, ignore it and move on with the song. Only you and the cynical A-hole in the back corner of the audience will notice. But, who cares...

Wow! I guess I'm one of the lucky ones that only had a guy screwing up all my EQ up and I was pissed off. If something like damaging my gear would have happened, I think I've would've turned into the Human Torch.

Whatever the number is, I want in!

I too started as a guitar player at age 14 (still have my Squier from 1995). Me and my cousin were taking guitar lessons from the same guy. We wanted to make a band, but we didn't know any bass players. So, we decided to buy a bass between the two of us and we would switch the bass role. It...

No.

I wonder how would EVH look with KISS make-up on?

Flea also plays the trumpet and Marcus Miller also plays the bass clarinet.

Testament - Low, Demonic, The Gathering, and First Strike Still Deadly.

Maybe you're not pressing enough the frets when playing the fast parts. Try doing grip exercises with your fretting hand so you develop enough strength in your fingers. Make sure your plucking fingers are 100% synchronized with your fretting fingers. Also, you can check if during this winter...

Metallica, from "Kill 'em All" to the "Black Album" in series, over and over again, since I was about 7 all the way to highschool. They're embedded in my DNA. I have a hypothesis that the day I'll have a child, he or she will instantly know and love those songs, even if not exposed to...

Define "Total Psycho"

What message would you put on the neckplate?

I always move the G string out of the way! (Get it!? Get it!?)
