Give me your best advice!!

Or MarkBass. Good lawd those yellow-orange speakers are tacky.

Hmm - a Trace Elliot head and MarkBass cabinet would be an interesting combination. Probably have to have some kind of waiver for the audience to sign acknowledging the visual danger.

Using a tube emulator pedal upstream of your tube amp actually cancels out the tubey-ness.

If you want to get extra tubey-ness you need to use 2 tube emulator pedals upstream of a tube amp.

If you can get them to look up from their phones...

But Egon said crossing the streams was bad...

Wedding gigs are the best because you get to take home the leftovers. And sometimes food, too.

Then you just smile and say "Well, we tried dammit! Here's our next number..."

we used humour too, say something like

"but we spent MINUTES on it"

 

[JamPlay]

learn everything you possibly can about music theory, and don't play a note of it!

Quit playing, sell your equipment and take up golf.

Exactly, it is like multiplying negative numbers. The bad cancels out with two of them. This is the only known exception to the 'if one is good, two is better' principle.

Nobody ever expects there is so much science involved in being a competent bass player.

Generally they are spoiled though and you get sick in the morning

Yeah, science is dangerous. I did hear that someone once invented an emulator pedal for a GK-1001RBII. Apparently when you use it in front of an old SVT tube amp it actually cancels out all audible sound waves. This was actually what Don McLean was singing about in American Pie.

I didn't abandon. I'm reading all the posts and although I initially meant this as tongue in cheek because of threads where someone will ask for advice on the best amp or whatever and then will post that they went ahead and bought the guitar combo to play through - if they ever reply at all. There's some really good advice, I'm not sure how I'm going to ignore it all, but I shall try. Keep them coming!

It's much easier to not eat 400 calories than to diet or work off 400 calories. Remember that when you're looking at that next candy bar.

Set a "no jerk" policy...and keep it. Regardless. No one is that good.

Wrong. It's much easier to eat the candy bar.

As a bassist, it is always necessary to drive the groove and be in the pocket.

Just make sure that you groove in your own pocket so that no one notices. There are laws, people!

And more delicious.
