[Big Hoss]

exercise !!!!

get in shape, and STAY THAT WAY !!!

get your abs goin. keep them up. nothing chicks like more than a solid set of abs.

drink a glass of water for every glass of booze you drink.

As much as women like rock solid abs, they are far more impressed with a huge, engorged...

Rule #1 is: There are no Rules!

 

[obimark]

Bring a backup bass, and a backup, backup bass to every gig. Also bring a duplicate amp, tuner, cables and a backup bass player in case you are injured!

Unless you have roadies, more is not necessarily more.

Make sure you do a complete sound check with a lot of hits on the drums and plenty of guitar and bass noodling so you run everybody out of the club so your sound is just right for your 5 friends who will attend the show.

Never make love to anyone who wears bigger skives then you do!

Keep your stick on the ice eh

That incredible tone you dial in on stage? Nobody hears it out front. Telling the sound guy what tone you want? It's easier to teach a cat how to roller skate.

All you need is a Precision bass. They're the industry standard, and it is a proven fact that every recording studio everywhere will turn you away unless you have a Precision bass. None of these modern Jazz shenanigans.

And, yes, it has to be sunburst with a tortoiseshell pickguard.

Oh, and lastly it has to be a Fender. It's only been 60 years, so other companies have still not worked out how to build bass guitars properly.

I have so much it hurts. I'm a living example of "we really shoulda listened to that guy". Just a quick few off the top of my head:

• practice more
• don't do it for the money
  
• play what you love
  
• make them dance
• you're better than you think you are, so chin up
• you're not as good as you think you are, so practice harder
• be nice/ya catch more flies with honey than vinegar/golden rule/treat others as you want to be treated
• do it for the money, or at least respect the source of income
  
• never take candy from a stranger; better yet, never get into a stranger's car or van, especially if their windows are blocked out. [Optional once mature enough.]

oh yeah, and:

• check it out, chicks find it hot you aren't shy to invite a hobo; and
  
• chicks get freaked out if you invite more than one hobo

Stay away from TB forums with catchy titles and stupid content. (Like this one.)

The problem isn't the content. It's that he (and the rest of us) will ignore it.

I felt I had to reply to you just to say that I'm ignoring your advice.

Buy a multi thousand dollar instrument and amp rig, it'll make up for lack of ability instantly.

Save some coin. These are cheap and work great. I use mine all the time and people like me!

Procrastinate now. Don't put it off.

If you wait until the last second, it only takes a second.

 

[BucketOfFish]

The crowd will rarely notice when you've played a wrong note....so don't give them that "grimace" and give it away.

Well not everyone likes me 'cause I have one of these..it really, really, really works but one more thing you have to do in addition to stepping on the button is always look at the other guy with disgust. this works even if the other guy is an accordion player and you're on bass...nobody knows the difference!
