    Weird but honest CL ad

    Would be too much guitar for the guy in this song.

    What is your definition of overplaying?

    Exactly! They are serving the song. i.e. making the song better.

    What is your definition of overplaying?

    Yeah, during a solo, you can do whatever you want... during the song? different story...

    What is your definition of overplaying?

    Serve the song, not yourself. If you put yourself before the song, you are overplaying.

    Have I ruined 2 basses (or just made life easier)?

    Not a problem. I did the same thing with one of these: https://www.amazon.com/Bosch-85285MC-Solid-Carbide-Router/dp/B000GYX4IU Took a black marker to the cavity... done.

    What brand has all your loyalty?

    none. Some I like, but I'm not devoted to any of them. Each piece of hardware, be it bass, amp, cab or anything in between, has to stand on it's own merits.

    Venting - LS can't handle playing in a bar that serves shots.

    The March 13 gig was cancelled due to our good friend Covid, so I'm fully out now. Love the weight being lifted off my shoulders. It's given me energy to start working on a list of songs I've wanted to learn for myself, but haven't had the desire. All of a sudden, it's back! yay!

    Venting - LS can't handle playing in a bar that serves shots.

    Yes, there's a definite sense of relief! I knew that I was going to have a conflict with him, so am dealing with this before that happens. As I mentioned earlier in this thread, I play in another band with the drummer, so want to maintain a positive tone while making my departure. Will probably...

    Update, for those that care... I'm leaving this band. Last gig is March 13th. The drinking wasn't the kicker, it was his attitude. Since he has been taking vocal lessons, he now figures he is the most important part of the band (Since he "found his range") and we all should basically just play...

    Hughey Leggat's Teardrop ’65 P-Bass

    Not sure if I like it or not. Kinda not, but it is unique! The video in '72 shows it with what appears to be a black pickguard and a greyish paint job. Must've been taken down to wood later, since the pics show a pretty crappy refinishing job... [Invalid or Expired Link Removed] You get...

    What should the bass play during a guitar solo?

    I voted for 'a new part', but my real vote is 'it depends'. A song like 'Smoking in the Boys Room' has the bass doing basically it's own solo during the guitar solo, and they have a nice interplay between them that I really love playing, but usually, it's good to just hang back and play what you...

    Compatible Cab for GK 1001 Rb?

    I have a GK 1001RBII and a Traynor 410NEO, which fits in the back seat of a 2014 Honda Civic. Just have to move the front seat forward to get it in.

    Am I out of line?

    If you are plugging into the PA, you help with setup / teardown of the PA... Find out what is causing the funk. If there is no good reason, talk to the rest of the band and decide whether or not to tell her to get the funk out.

    How do you buy time on stage?

    If you have a one-off song that requires retuning, you can put it at the end of a set, but another guitar is the ultimate solution.

    Do I need a "good" bass for auditions?

    When going into a job interview, or looking for a promotion, the rule of thumb is to dress for the position you want to occupy. As much as it goes against my personal ethos, a lot of folks do care about gear brands, and consider the well known 'accepted' gear as being more legit. If you really...
