Always try Jazz.

Flea, Chris Wolstenholm (Muse), Adam Clayton (U2), and Sir Paul McCartney. I need another "Rushmore" though! Mark Stoermer (the Killers), Sting (it's possible to play and sing?!), Marcus Miller, and Matthew Tennikoff (Hillsong United) would be the other.

There was a Mexican food party at my work a few months back and I wasn't able to go. Apparently, someone brought a sauce where the heat was mostly comprised of ghost peppers. So a couple days later, during my lunch, one of the guys coerced me into trying it. Not aware of its contents, I...

We throw a programmable click on our drummer's iPhone. It allows us to program the BPMs of the entire set list and he can tab through them and count us off with a subtle tap or high hat count or whatever, even nodding the beat at me or the guitarist if we are starting. He has it all in his...

I currently have Elixer stainless rounds, though they are coated, so I'm not sure that counts... ;)

Various jobs as a stage tech, audio engineer, videographer, and other stuff like that.

This was first on my mind too.

Yeah pretty much.

I recently got an extended gig for an energy drink, and they want me to be effects oriented. I have six including my tuner, and the genre is spanning different types of rock, but mostly punk with a touch of Wolstenholme type overdriven tones so I deploy a few different types of drives and boosts.

I'm not the biggest fan of tube heads. I like the tone, but the extra weight and money just don't make it worth it to me. I think playing with a pick is fun. Yes, normally I bash playing with a pick along with fellow band mates and other bassists. I don't complain about not being able to mic...

I have the ODB-3. It's not an "every down" pedal (to use football terms), but every once in a while, I pull it out and love it. It is pretty harsh in the highs, but it sounds decent with the right EQ. Also, I hear you can modify it so the highs bite less, which I'll do with my next paycheck...

Cab is sold, potential buyers for head.

They wouldn't even care.

If you bash on slap every now and then because you're sort of bad at it... then you'd be just like me ;) In general, I don't think it sounds preferable in most music since it creates leads out of the bass when it might sound better (as a song, not just the bass) if the bassist stays in a groove...

Ever tried Cleartones? I'm about to put those on my bass.

Sweet bass, I love Carvin stuff.

PM replied to. Potential buyer for cab, and a potential buyer for head.

I start flat. I roll my tone knob out to whatever is comfortable to the ears that day. From there, it depends on the sound guy. I then use the EQ on my amp. I usually cut my lows out a little since I'll have enough anyway and to not muddy the band up (this also tricks the sound guy into...

And if I went from 200 watts to 1000 watts? That would be quite the jump no?

First the head: FS In excellent condition, sounds amazing. Slight wear and all that, but hey, it's an old amp that's been played. Asking $300 shipped for the head. The Cab is SOLD. Anyway, PM with questions and I'll reply ASAP, I need $$$!!!

My worship leader at church started as a bassist before switching to guitar at about twenty. I had a ton of questions for him and he referred me to all y'all crazies... I kid, I kid. I have found it extremely useful so far. On a side note, this site came up first in almost every google...

Yes :)

Orange B200H... if spending a fortune is an option...

Awesome thanks! I have maple so that's a relief for my laziness ;)

I'm not sure though, I think they're awesome and I love their sound, it's just that it is one sound only. It is all opinion though. In my opinion, there are many great bands I would consider to be not versatile, and the Red Hot Chili Peppers are one such band. There's nothing wrong with finding...

Somehow my church worship team manages to not practice together at all during the week, be constantly adding members, and still sounds good (depending on who is mixing mostly). We have a couple excellent sound engineers who can take any group and mix it in a matter of minutes to please the ears...

Fender Rumble 410 is $300, so if you're on a budget that's the one I've been noticing. I'll get it myself pretty soon, since I'm cheap. :)

I have a Carvin BX-600 that has compression and a graphic EQ, and it has played fantastic. Plus, it has a direct XLR out. USA made, and I got it for a great price.

Maybe Shure SE-215's?

I heard something about Mesa discontinuations, but I could be wrong.

I want Chowder back.

I like the pedal for live because its tough to see much of anything else if it's dark enough. Plus, it acts as an instant mute switch. Personally I use the Snark SN-7 floor tuner because it is quick and the most visible of any tuner I've tried. Super bright LED. Plus, it was the least...

Agreed!

Got a picture?

1-fingers/technique 2-pickups/bass (kinda the same for me) 3-amp (I go direct from my amp, so since I only use the speakers for monitoring, it's not as big... but I use a mic as well when I record so it's still important) 4-strings 5-order of pedals (experimentation showed me everything sounds...

I love Flea, but if you've heard one Chili Peppers song you've pretty much heard what they do.

I like the slim neck on my American Special P, and the Specials are almost all under a grand.

Jam will only get you so far. You should go with orange marmalade if you're really serious about this toast thing. IMHO.
