What do you do when you're without bass

[RxFunk]

I just dropped my bass off for a set up, and as always it's supposed to take two to three weeks. Do, anyway, this is my only bass and I know there's others who only have one as well, so what do you guys do in situations like this?

 

[Gorn]

Do your own setup and/or buy another bass.

- pack a bong and do a cartwheel
- do pelvic thrusts at people while they are eating in the food court
- eat an entire pie and punch yourself in the stomach
- put on headphones and run around like you're an airplane in public
- shake your penis at passing motorists
- dye your hair red and see what its like to be a ginger for a day
- stop at the middle of a crosswalk and do an air bass solo

TWO TO THREE WEEKS? for a setup???

Yah , This should be a great incentive for you to learn to do your own set-up. 15 minutes... 20 tops.

Watch videos of other bass players , tutorials, concerts and listen to music

 

[Peepaleep]

There are 4 videos in this series. Check them out and learn to do your own set-ups. It's not that difficult.

I was trying, but my bridge is weird(I've got a forum around these parts about it somewhere HSU&R, I think) and I didn't know how to fix it, besides replacing it.

Oh yes learn how to do your own setup, there is plenty of info here, Youtube and other places online. Two or three weeks.....that's f-ing ludicrous. Seriously, learn to do it yourself.

1) Buy a cheap craigslist bass, $95
2) Buy set up tools: screw driver & allen wrenches, $5
3) Learn to work on bass with the cheapo
4) For $100 you'll have a bass to play and practice on while your other bass is being repair

If you don't feel like doing all that just get play guitar and shred for 3 weeks

Blasphemy. Learn the tuba. Or a sousaphone. You're a bass player. You have a responsibility.
