Welcome Emmanuel!

Advice? hmmm...

Don't listen to anything Nutdog says.

Send me money.

Hang your bass down around your knees when you play. Good for your back, good for your wrists.

Hang around guitar stores slapping random tuneless crap on the basses there for hours on end with the volume cranked to 11.

Send me more money.

Find the best bass for metal.

Fire the guitarist.

Money. Mine. All of it. Now.

Answer all questions with "carrots." I don't know why. Just do it.

Carrots.



PS. I'm not really very good at giving advice.

Seriously, enjoy the forum, you can find all kinds of useful information here, especially with good use of the search function. Just start exploring.
