    Laziness pandemic. How do you deal with lazy band mates?

    I am in a 5 piece band and the only people putting real work are me, the drummer and the lead guitarist. The vocalist is nowhere to be found and hasnt written anything but still has wants. And the other guitarist kinda sucks but again has alot of wants. What should i do? Should we look for other...

    Live Show vs. Practice Bass?

    Bass people who play in bands, do you play a different bass during practice than you do at gigs? I’m lazy and get tired of lugging my bass back and forth between home and our practice space, up/down 2 flights of steps each way. I’ve got a beater I thought of leaving there with the rest of my...

    lead guitarist is a real jerk

    We bass players are sociable and for the most part nice to be around people. We hardly have tendencies to rant for attention on stage and mostly like to just be the guys giving the foundation to the music or dragging along a drummer with bad pace ect.. In my band we're not professionals. We...

    Weird Guitar Player

    My situation is weird but not unique as I'm pretty sure at least one or more person(s) have encountered people like this (could be a drummer, keyboard player, horn player, vocalist, percussionist and what not). This band that I'm currently playing in has this guitar player who is rather lazy...

    Are our expectations of ourselves too low?/Are bassists lazy?

    In the bass world,things that in the classical world would not attract as much as a glimpse are hyped to no end. People that can barely hold an instrument are referred to as 'great players'. Things like reading are sometimes talked about as thought they were some kind of magic. ( you get my...

    Lazy vendors?

    I asked a vendor if a body they had for sale would fit a neck they had for sale. Acceptable responses, to me, would be yes or no. Response I get: We don't know. This is a music company. These were not inexpensive parts. I had the money to buy them. What gives?

    Dbase w/ The Lazy Eyed Blues Band Corporate Xmas party, now with Video

    Well we are back each year at a nice Country Club for their Corporate Xmas party.. Snow started at load in and it was snowing heavily on load out. Lucky for me its only 2 miles to my house. We were using our new Bose PA instead of the big heavy 15" JBL speakers and monitors that we had to lug...

    Dbase w/The Lazy Eyed Blues Band @ Brookhaven Fundraiser 9/10/17

    Packed the trunk with one cab but never used it. Headed out on rt 295 south to Commodore Barry bridge to Penna. Sunday.. no traffic. Venue was changed from the large building in the background to the parking lot outside because the floors were getting refinished. Was a nice day 75 and...

    Dbase w/The lazy Eyed Blues Band @ Dupont County Club

    Well another year and we are back for a corporate golfing event. This time we didn'tuse a stage because it was too small (we added another guitar player). We set up at the end of a large ballroom so there was plenty of room. I only bought one 12 in cab since I was using a DI. The room was so...

    The not-a-p-bass list (or my lazy question)

    So I love the P-bass sound but don't yet own one. I want to change that, but I don't want to buy a Fender. There I said it. Earlier I was talking about neck-dive, which I've definitely experienced on Fender Jazz basses, but I'm just not feeling Fender. Not Fender-hating, just not Fender-loving...

    I've become lazy AF

    I went on a buying spree and have picked up a bunch of quirky shortscales with slim necks...Klira, Micro-Frets, Baldwin Burns, and, skinniest of all, a Framus 5/140 with a body like a softshell turtle and a neck like a broomstick. Now all of my Fenders and Fender-likes feel like giant unwieldy...

    Dbase w/ The Lazy Eyed Blues band 12/16/16 @The Westwood Country club

    This is the time of the year that the band, all employees of an engineering company(except me), plays for their annual Xmas party at the Westwood Country Club. It was 21 degrees outside and golfers were playing with gloves and face masks. We were using a digital controller mixer with two...

    Should i be lazy and buy a Future Impact or just get a mono synth?

    Decision time guys, i am looking to expand my current sounds with synths due to some musical direction changes of my band & a session work that i have. If i were to buy the future impact i dont need to re-learn a new instrument, just need to learn the deep editing of the synth pedal. If i were...

    Well I waited all year for this gig. A corporate golf outing and we get to play, eat and drink outside under a large tent. It was 97 degrees in Wilmington Delaware 8/15/16 so they held the venue inside in one of the large ballrooms. Slideshow.. Dupont2016 Slideshow by vandelay11 Here's a video...

    1988 Rickenbacker Question - Lazy Research

    I've been toying with the idea of a new bass, and I've got a few in mind. I just poked into the local shop and found a used Ric that spoke to me, so I need to start doing some research before I throw down the big money. It was listed as a 1988 4001. The quick online looking I've done so far...

    Dbase w/ The Lazy Eyed Blues Band @ Westwood Golf Club 12/18/15(w/ video added)

    Well I have to admit, I am a convert to playing thru the sound system especially when you have 4 1x15's. Notice the lack of any backline amps. That's Tim our sound man and keyboard player setting up his new PA controller which he operates via his tablet. We are getting Hi-Teck now. This...

    Bassists are lazy.

    This reputation that we have as lazy irks me a bit. Still every day I read a new thread here and believe it's true. No body wants to carry anything. Even though cabinets are featherweight now. We have to goto extraordinary measures to leave our cabinets somewhere. We want to drive impossibly...
