I love the sound and the attack of a pick. I use one on stage exclusively. It works well with my band. I was playing a show once and the bass player from another band came up and asked why I use a pick, told me to be a man, blah blah blah. His band went on next. While he was on stage during his...

Haha, right on! I'm in an original metal band, but we love to throw in a cover or two every few gigs. The premise on deciding on a cover is always, "Okay, does anybody around here do this? Have you ever heard this cover? And will people know what it is when they hear it?" This formula has always...

Hmmmm....I could be WAY off, but I'm guessing Top 40 from the 70's, 80's and maybe 90's? What people would call a "party band"? Either that or popular classic rock, on the softer side (Journey, Foreigner, Boston, etc.).

This thread reminds me....you really can tell what genre of music all of these bands play by just looking at their logo! :laugh:

WHOA! Sorry for the size. ;)

Original metal band out of Rockford, IL.

I wonder if Crystalman even has this pedal still. I've had it for almost two years now and I'm considering going towards something "easier". I dunno, I'm just not feeling it anymore. I'm not sure if I'm just lazy or the tones just sound too digital. Maybe it's just too much pedal for my simple...

Right on, JTE! Nice collection ya got there! #5

Right on! #4, rtav!

Grizz33 #1 Reprise #2 Illini10 #3 Hopefully more people will hop on, there has to be more of us, right? Right? lol

Fantastic basses in here! I'll add to the collection.

I'd love to be a part of the lefty gang around these parts. Hopefully there are numbers being handed out still! lol

I knew there had to be! Thanks, man!

Illinois has tons of people (mostly in Chicago, but whatever). Therefore there has to be a contingency of bassists from the state of Illinoize. State where you're from, pics of your babies (not actual babies), your gear, what bands you're in, etc. I shall hand out numbers like Pez from the...

Okay, either my search skills are extremely poor or I'm having a stroke. I don't have a headache, so it must be the latter. Is there a Left Handed Bassist Club here? I can't find one. Somebody take me by the hand and lead me, good sirs and madams. Thanks!

Yep, love em. I have inlay stickers on two basses and a guitar. They last a long time, super thin and high quality. Super cheap and doesn't take long to deliver from Japan. I'd try them. If you don't like them they're easy to remove with no residue.

How can anyone say this cover sucks? Man, seriously? What exactly sucks about it? I'm intrigued.

No, no clear coat over them afterward. Only time will tell if I'll regret that or not. I used rattle cans for both the pickguard and control plate. Rustoleum flat black on the plate, Rustoleum textured metallic paint on the guard. I prepped both pieces pretty well and I've had no issues with...

Thanks man! It's a beater, but it's my beater. :)

No name jazz body, no name neck, Gotoh 201 bridge, Fender MIM pups. Pickguard and control plate painted by myself. Put together from parts myself. Hopefully that's enough to qualify!

It was the same way around here, man. I do admit though, we have a strong original metal scene here and there are plenty of shows to go around. But still....they just don't pay. The venues don't want to shell out the money. We obviously do it for the love of music, but seriously, a bone thrown...

There is absolutely no way any of us can know in what context he made that comment in. It's in typed form. Was he serious? Was he laughing when he said it? Did he wink when he said it? NONE OF US KNOW. Regardless, Mustaine is a tool.

I know this article is geared toward cover bands, but it's much MUCH worse for original music bands. I'm in two original metal bands from where I'm from. In this area the best shows to get on are when you have three (or more) bands opening for a "national act" (Mushroomhead, Blue Felix, Otep...

Subbed! As a lefty myself, I REALLY appreciate what you're doing and I'm learning some tricks along the way. Awesome stuff, man. Can't wait to see the finished product.

Some people are making some really good points. But, the lack of activity with this "case" is making people post for the sake of posting. BOTTOM LINE: Faulkner, keep doing what you're doing, man. Let the police do their job. It will get handled properly and it sounds like it is (according to my...

I haven't been on the edge of my seat like this since Luke married Laura! (This comment makes me feel old and lame. Whatever.)

This is almost like waiting for the season premiere of The Walking Dead. Kinda.

Subbed. Get yo schtuff back!

BTW: That Carvin is SEXY.

Bump! I wish I could swing this deal. Lefties UNITE!

I've got 2 bands for ya, guys! I will now take the daunting task of going through all of these and liking back! Holy hell...wish me luck! ;) https://www.facebook.com/devolveofficial https://www.facebook.com/ominousgreyofficial

This is a no-brainer, man. You NEVER get back your time with family. Since 1996 I've works the worst shifts imaginable, including 24 hours shifts. To this day I still work every holiday, unless I luck out and it falls on my scheduled day off. I've missed out on my kid's birthdays, milestones and...

http://www.musiciansfriend.com/accessories/dr-strings-drop-down-tuning-heavy-bass-strings THESE, my friend. Both of my bands play DGCF-CGCF. Been using them for years. Welcome to the boards!

Yeah, that's a good point. Okay, how about this...someone handing you a 9 pound baby, saying it's yours, even though you've never seen it before? I guess that's a 'nother thread... ;)

You can always think of this way... Would you rather hold a 9 pound bass or a 9 pound baby? Bass all day.

When you're left handed you should ALWAYS bring a back up. No more flipping basses upside down for this kid.

My bass hat. I broke a string. Don't judge my sadness.

Whoa. Why? WHY???

Definitely go used for your first bass. Like many had mentioned, bring a buddy who plays with you to your local music store, Guitar Center, etc. My first bass was an Ibanez Sound Gear. Nice thin neck, great starter bass. You should be able to pick one up for less than 200 dollars, especially if...
