Bass Player magazine

#61
I have to say this magazine other than your interview was so boring it reminded me why I stopped buying Bass Player, however your interview was so good and interesting my non bass playing girlfriend read it and really enjoyed it.

She does how ever blame you for me buying some white skinny jeans :D

O. i had like this big mental image of the stage being setup and all these people moving around in a hurry and here you are sitting there. I saw that pic of you sitting in your gear and i put that all together like that. lol.

And it was awesome how you mentioned talkbass in your answer.

Hey JMJ!

Great to have you on the forum. A personal question - of all of your basses, which one would you take if you didn't know what you would be playing genre-wise? Which one would you be confident could gracefully handle whatever you needed it to do?

Also - I love your Jag more than cake. And I really love cake. :eek::p

I so wish Fender would offer a PJ Jag. Then again, my shoulder bothers me so much if I use anything heavier than a Precision that I doubt I could take it even if they offered it. I used to have a beautiful 98 Jazz, but I had to off it because I couldn't take the weight.

I wish I knew, Tom. For years, I used to use 9-10 lb. basses on 4-5 hour gigs with a 2 inch Ernie Ball strap and never had so much as a twinge. All of a sudden I hit 40 and my shoulder would kill me after about 15 minutes. Then I bought every wide and padded strap on the market trying to alleviate it, but nothing worked entirely. There were three that actually made it better, the Slapstrap, the Levy's MSS24 4 1/2" padded strap, and the Planet Waves strap that Justin's using now. Everything else was money down the drain. But the only thing that really truly worked for me was moving to a lighter bass. I can usually take a Precision, but most Jazz basses are right out. And now my main bass is a modified P-Lyte, which I can play all night without soreness. I felt like a bit of a wuss using one, but since Justin said Trent uses one, I don't feel so bad now ;)

How dare you goof on us old guys like me and Justin!!! One day you'll be old and some punkass kid will goof on you on the internet!!!

:D

I haven't been to a doctor about it though, because all he'll tell me is to lighten up on the bass I'm using, which I've already done. I will say that when I work out it gets better, but I'm a bit lazy about it.

Nah, I just lumped you in with me to make me feel better about being 47 after suffering tomhanzo's brutal attack. Don't worry, J...you still have a few good years left. It's way too late for me, but there's hope for you ;)
