this is a great idea [url="http://www.reverbnation.com/jethou"]http://www.reverbnation.com/jethou[/url] were a sort of doom/post metal/avant garde in places just wierd me jamie butler on bass drinking and swearing sam carter guitars and prgramming and being sane the album=two guys and a drum machine is available the e.p the icons of penge is in production as we speak

john myung geddy lee steve harris Arif Mirabdolbaghi cliff burton michael lepond victor wooten dave ellefson stu hamm steve digiorgio

neurosis-through silver in blood

i see the mighty priest last night ian hills bass playing is as solid as rock on viagra.a lot of metal bassists jump all over the place looking like complete tits but ian just stays at the back of the stage doing his stuff.no gimmicks no frills just 2 hrs and 30 mins of rock solid bass playing

in south london you have the new cross in and the amersham arms literally across the road from each other. both have gig nights fridays and saturdays always have new bands and bands that have been gigging for years

id love a geddy lee jazz bass

apes pigs and spacemen......do i need this

[quote name='steve-bbb' timestamp='1333137110' post='1598061'] there is only [i]one[/i] guitarist whom all the above, and all those to follow, can stand aside for .... [media]http://youtu.be/w0w3V_-A1XI[/media] [/quote] john petrucci cant talk enough about a allan holdsworth he loves the guy and you can see why

im ok when going into shops in general but when down denmark street shops i do feel quite intimidated by the atmosphere in some of them

how about john petrucci the man is like a machine the man can play 3 hour shows 100% note perfect some of his playing is beautifully majestic and some of the heavier stuff is up there with metals heaviest

transatlantic-rose coloured glasses

for me its 1.the middle section of metallicas orion 2.anything by pete trewavas on the whirlwind(i normally hate bright tones but this rocks) 3.mastodons blood an thunder

once again guys thanks for all your responses i love this place..even twats like me get given peoples time

thanks for all your comments

i know a few scales stuff like that and i do love the learning part it just fries my brain lol and to reply to what warwickhunt said im sure i read somewhere once in an interview once where steve harris said he didnt know hardly any theory i would never put the man down he is the master

hi guys i love playing bass but most theory goes way over my head.4ths 5ths ect leaves my bamboozled. my question is do you really need a vast knowledge of theory to enjoy music my band has a cd out althought not ground breaking i have always just played by ear and play what sounds good to me. I wouldnt know if i was playing bass chords or just playing with myself. i suppose im just insecure in the fact that if i dont know every bit of theory going ill never make it as a decent bass player my 2 favourite bassists are john myung who knows the bass inside out and the other is steve harris who even though is an absolute monster on the bass would admit to not having much knowledge of theory id love to here some of your opinions jamie

welcome mate load of good advice on here plus dicks like me who know f*** all
