I've noticed this kind of thing on a few gigs too, OP. It usually bothers me for the first few songs of a set and then i think my ears "get used" to it. The recordings sound fine as far as tuning, but i will feel like i'm out of whack. I've noticed it the most when I'm having issues with...

Sorry to go back a topic or two, but John Moyer actually wanted them backwards. He thought it looked better. Saw it in a Traben promo video. lol Ordered my Chaos Core, should be here by Friday. I'll post my pics then.

There. Fixed it for ya. ;)

it seems the predominant response is stage left (house right, i.e. audience's right), but most of the bands i've seen live, both local and pro, have the bassist stage right (house left). i've usually been stage left, but it's usually 'cause that was the easiest way to set up. it wasn't...

the whole point is to entertain, so you gotta make it fun. we'd throw beach balls (marked with our logo/myspace info)into the audience, do ridiculous costumes complete with obviously stuffed codpieces, coregraphed moves, etc. we had to make up for not having a singer so we just made it as...

excluding the obvious set up stuff... stretch, keep hands warm, and breathing exercises and then the band shares what we call a "grog-bowl". it's usually monster or rockstar, a guinness or newcastle, some jager (if we can afford it), and some az green tea. kinda nasty, but it'll give you...

i have one at the moment. had three at one point. one was a p.o.s. fender ripoff and when the electronics broke i sold it for $35 bucks. the other was a cheap acoustic i let a friend borrow. a friend of his had his daughter over and she fell on it and snapped the neck :eek: i wasn't all that...

but just to reiterate... ABSOLUTELY ANYTHING by Lenard skinard. i will shoot you in the face if you request freebird. anything by U2, Kid Rock, Hinder, Nickelback, anyone who sings through an auto-tuner, papa roach, and anyone who is supposed to be a boy but looks like a girl to include...

David J Haskins (Bauhaus) uses a pick with a fretless and his tone is awesome.

my first degree black belt was XYZ by Rush. my second degree black belt is the opening bass solo of "Day of the Baphomets" by Mars Volta. That mess is just crazy.

The digitech bass driver has a mode that is supposed to simulate the turbo rat. i've never heard them side by side, so i don't know how well it does....:hiding:

ouch. lol. she's the one who calls me that, because apparently i can't play without glowering. i can posture and say "i AM gettin' it, woman" all i want....but she's the one with the money. :rollno: :crying: :help: no, she just wants me to wait till tax return time. and i'm impatient...

My first bass was "Io" my current bass is "Durendel" my acoustic is "Roane" My electric (gasp) guitar is "Neriad" My friend named all his guiatars too: Booger, Electricfart, [one i forgot] and Silent-Wind-of-Death-Whoosh.

Thanks for your input! Now just to convince the woman...

Hey all. I hope this already hasn't been covered, i've read through most of thread three and this one... i'm seriously considering getting a wishbass. i know he'll use whatever pup's you provide him (as long as it's not too much of a hassle) and i wanna get a peanut, but i want to have...

i have the same problem. i mostly play with my fingers and a few songs with a pick. i have problems holding on and keeping it level. i'll rough up the spots where my finger and thumb holds on to the plectrum to give it more traction/make it less slippery. that helps a little.

i've played in a metal band that played at a coffee shop before. we kept the volume down to reasonable levels and people reacted just fine. Although on a few songs, instead of distortion, the guitarists used chorus or whatever, but it was still cool. But we played there several times and they...

Well, compared to some of the others, these are pretty tame, but... Right before we went on for a local battle of the bands, a three piece "metal" band went on. During what i can only suppose was a horrid rendition of "For Whom the Bell Tolls" (Seriously the only thing recognizable was that...

Hobo-Erotica ---it was a comedy-punk band and my first one. Abortions for Sale ---some weird mix of death and punk. some one actually protested once. we lasted all of two shows. Jesus Christ Vampire Hunter ---we didn't know there was a movie at the time. hard rockish. Swackhamer...

Justin Chancellor from Tool uses one in a few songs, notably a small part in lateralus and various parts on the last few tracks of 10,000 days.

in the interview with "Bass Player" magazine (or "Bass Guitar" can't remember now...) JC says on the album there was some delay as well and it's three distortions. the overdrive/eq he has always on through his second amp, then the two through the first channel (and the chorus and the tremelo in...

two things... first, the gear doesn't make the tone, the musician does. second, music =/= job. while i don't mind getting paid for a gig, i'm not doing it for money. i'm doing it 'cause i love to play. it's art and expression to me, not a 9-5 job i "need" to pay bills. just like...
