    Bandmate demanding you play after surgery

    It's a big deal when you get all four out at once.... :rollno: Besides, people react differently to the pain, anesthesia, and the pain medication. You can't predict how he may or may not feel the next night. Only the OP can decide that and he wont know until after its done.

    Who has the tightest rhythm section?

    Dave Matthews Band IMO. Supposedly they don't use a click-track, and with some of the crazy beats that Carter Beauford plays, it's amazing how well they stay locked in together.

    I had a guitarist in my band tell me that I'm a guitarist trapped in a bassist's body.

    So, I sliced off the tip of my finger...

    Got a nasty cut on the webbing between my thumb and index on my fretting hand about 3 years ago. Cut some tendons and got the muscle pretty good. I was out of action for about 3 months. During that time I had almost no flexibility in my thumb at all. I could barely bend it, let alone play a...

    ASHDOWN ABM 410 CAB COVERING CLOTH TEARS

    I have an ABM 210. Just like yours except two less speakers. I have also experienced the wear and tear that is shown in your pictures, but I didn't think anything of it. Things like this happen. If it still sounds good, what is the issue?

    Wanting to learn mandolin.

    Well as the title says, I want to learn some mandolin. So I just have a few questions: 1. What is a good brand for mandolin to learn how to play on? I don't want a junker, but i don't want to spend too much and find out I really don't like it too much. 2. Obviously a teacher would be...

    How many 5 string players actually use the B?

    I'm different. I rarely use it, but I like the fat neck better than 4 strings.

    Ashdown ABM500 and what 210?

    I play an Ashdown ABM 210 and I imagine that the ABM500 would sound pretty sweet through it.

    How far do you drive for practice?

    30 minutes for me. Our furthest driver goes about 45. It sucks but we dont pay for our current practice space so its worth it.

    How Do You Listen To Music?

    For me, being analytical ruins the song. Just listening to certain parts distracts me from all the instruments interacting as a whole, so I just listen to the song as a "fan". Soaking it all in allows me to appreciate the song better.

    Whats your current music kick?

    I grew up on classic rock. It is what my parents listened to on the radio in the car and what not so naturally its what i listened to. I then started liking other kinds of rock too, alternative, modern, etc. Out of NOWHERE, I have suddenly got this craving for listening to all kinds of...

    I hate most of my gear, but as a broke college student, can't do much about it right now. The one piece I do like? Ashdown ABM 210. Amazing cab.

    Best Method for Learning/Improving Reading Standard Notation

    I played trumpet all the way from 6th grade thru high school. My junior and senior year of high school i joined jazz band. I was a decent sight reader before but man after joining jazz band, it was exponentially better. Learning out of necessity as others who have posted, it definitely works.

    do you really have to learn how to read music to be a good bassist?

    Just reading this and got curious. I know from experiences such as jazz band, marching band, and obviously concert band in high school, drummers had to read music and just didn't make it up. What about studio drummers? Do they also have to read music or what?

    So who has GOOD band chemistry? ( guitarist content)

    I've known my drummer for years longer than I've played with him, so we are great friends. But here lately, we have almost developed a kind of ESP. We always seem to know exactly what the other is gonna play when we are jamming or switching things up on our originals. It's such a blast being...

    Trigger Finger Symptoms = Technique Issue?

    Cure? no. I'm trying to find out if my current technique is what is causing the problem. I'm looking for anyone who has had a similar problem, and can recommend something, such as getting a proper setup, etc., in order to help fix it. I agree, I should see a doctor to cure it, but unless...

    Trigger Finger Symptoms = Technique Issue?

    Well not really. I did read this http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heberden%27s_node, which I found in a sticky in the technique forum. I do have a bump on my middle joint, so maybe it's related to that. Whatever it is, I'm guessing it still comes down to a technique issue. Edit: It's not my...

    Trigger Finger Symptoms = Technique Issue?

    Tried a search on the topic, but couldn't find any specific answer. So for the past month to two months I've experienced some trigger finger-ish symptoms on my index of my fretting hand. Swollen knuckle joint, limited flexibility, soreness. After rest, anti-inflammatory medicine, and some...
