I think my drummer has gone to the dark side...

That's good ... especially if it's funded by him!

 

heh...heheheh

 

I thought drums WERE the darkside.

 

It's fairly often that I see my drummer pick up my bass and look at it blankly. I even taught him something once. I think it's healthy for drummers and bassists to at least be knowledgeable of each instrument, after all, we are the rhythm section.

 

I bought congas for my kid for christmas and I can't stop playing them... does that mean I am going to be a drum-tard?

 

You're going to the dark side with the voodoo drums!

 

Fine. Can I put a hex on all gui****s that annoy me?

 

When he is done "modding" it, he will end up with a decent Fender for about 20% more than the original.

Squier is win or lose. My Indonesian Strat is amazing. Keeps in tune forever, amazing sound and sustain. I could probably spend $300 more in a new neck and pickups, plus pots, but what for.

Someone needs to give the parts reseller money, in this economy, anybody who else keeping our dealers in business is ok by me.

You could ask him who makes a good drum set for $200 and where you can buy parts to mod it.

 

My drummer and I are tight, we were thinking about doing this next summer..

Are bassist's usually best friends with the drummer? Or is it just me and my friends band?

He's better then me at bass too..

 

GO ahead!!!Encourage him.What have you got to lose,besides the bass slot in your band.lol.

 

What do you call a guy who likes to hang out with musicians?

A Drummer!

 

Idk if its worth it lol. Those VMs sound good right off the bat. Nice neck, good pups, ok body at best.

 

I've recently also switched from drums to bass... having played for 20+ years ... just started bass 3 weeks ago, and it's pretty percussive... been learnin from MarloweDK on youtube lol...

Anyway.. yeah bass player is one of my best friends too... guys gotta be tight to groove lol...

best of luck to him... squier's a good place to start although I'd save the mod money and put it towards a fender fund (if he's a fender kinda guy)

 

I've been in that situation too. Classically trained musician, opting for the drums later on, but able to play strings and keyboards.

Did not mind playing with a self-taught bassist like me, or showing him a few things.

No big deal

 

What is there to say drummers love their hardware. Shiny, matte black, clear, they love hardware.

 

Yes we drummers do love our hardware. By the way I'm the roommate who just bought the bass. It's effin' awesome.
