Today I'ma Gonna Break all the TalkBass Rules

[JonathanAlvarez]

You want to break the rules.... play upbeats ONLY, see what the band does.

 

[JimmyM]

So you're retiring?

 

[Jloch86]

Don't forget to learn Teen Town for the sole reason of just being able to say you can play it.

 

[Fat Freddy]

I'm not going to mention carrots or TNC......Oooops!.....

 

[Bassist4Eris]

I was thinking about putting my pedals in order without asking random people on the internet what the best order would be, but that might be a little too crazy. Maybe I'll just put roundwounds on my P-bass instead.

 

[PillO]

They should go in alphabetical order.

 

[Neon Blues]

You wouldn't dare!

 

[Lobster11]

Don't forget to mismatch some speaker cabinets!

 

[MVE]

Tabs for Mustang Sally???

Hell, if we're breaking rules, I'm gonna take that corporate gig with the 7 piece band and rip out the most awesome slap solo right at the turn around.

...just to show everyone in the band my "chops"

 

[Gravedigger Dav]

Have a nice bowl of TNC while admiring the tort guard on my P with rounds on it.

 

[ThePresident777]

I hate P basses,.......

.......especially with tort pickguards.

 

[Hevy T]

[Hevy T]

I have rounds on my P bass, with a black guard, and flats on a Jazz...oh the horror!! Also the jazz has a Tort guard and is a relicked Squire with a Fender decal on it

 

[Sixgunn]

Don't forget to wear shorts on today's gig.

And mix drivers.

 

[HolmeBass]

Don't forget to wear shorts on today's gig.

And sandals. And better make then cargo short.

Ok, I was late to this party! ;-)

 

[HolmeBass]

Better if they are camo cargo shorts.

Dimebag would be proud!

 

[bassfran]

Then you must bring a multi-stringed hippie sandwich bass to the classic rock bar gig- no tort, no flats. Wear white. And mix those cabs, of course.

 

[friendlybass]

Are you smoking a cigarette

 

[Razman]

1. I never wear shorts for a live show (but do so for practice all the time)
2. I have never (and will never) played Mustang Sally (I hope).
3. I mix drivers ALL THE TIME (gotta have 15's for those lows!!)
4. What is a "P" bass?

Raz

 

[KevInDaBassment]

Rules to break:
...7. I not going to care if by the last set there has been B**bs on my bass, drunkards shouting Free Bird or inebriated patrons explaining to me what our band needs to do or play to be really good...

Psh, try having to deal with Paul McCartney asking you for lessons, Gene Simmons wanting to load your gear up, and the ghost of Jaco Pastorius wanting to hang out with you. Also some Dave Growl guy (that band about fighting fools or something) giving me his whole casa that I now have to get maids to clean for me. Anyway, if you wanna hear more about all that you can email my assistant, Taylor Swift. [email protected]
