Maybe there's a BCer in your area that'll let you try theirs?

You could try playing a more sparse, held back riff to accentuate the lead bits, gives it more drama! A preamp or eq pedal can boost your signal or tone a bit when you want. The mighty Boss LS-2 can have a loop with clean gain boost or cut, which also works if you want to blend your clean signal with effects that eat low end, like many overdrive and distortion do. If all else fails the guitar could use a looper to keep his riff going while he goes off. Still get a LS-2 though!

Very cool!

Could be that I don't understand the problem, are you recording from a direct line or micing you amp, or using a single overhead nice to capture your rehearsal? Are you hearing the pick click when you are playing? Are you hitting a pickup maybe?

Is the pick the real problem?

Spend some time in the shops. This 'feel' is so personal that most replies may not apply to you.

Done, you're welcome.

So sorry, it must be Kevin fever.

Ding a dang my dang-along ding dong.

When you're lost, do not go to the Kevin in the woods!

I heard that when his time comes, he's opted for cremation. Kevin shall burn.

Having the gear to play bass, or being prepared are hardly bringing "extra". That's the basics!

Frontman, Singer, lyrics and songwriter. I can (and will) give you an honest opinion on anything and everything.

I think for today's standard a Hans Zimmer surpasses your McCartney's and other pop moguls. Still not sure if he's a Mozart though.

Wait, I think I know this one. It's me isn't it?

Not black Friday weekend but eBay had a 15% discount the week before. Used it to buy the family our first iPad and it's keyboard. Now to find uses for it to justify the spending ?

??? Signature models ARE marketing gimmickry. Edit: Hiram got here first.

Basic is a skill in its own right.

Seems many bass players are more obsessed with the size of the kit than most drummers are ?

Annoying your in-laws should be reason enough.

Maybe Ministry had a greater impact on me with the psalm 69 album. You can always wake me up for some Bolt Thrower though, the music just rings true. Also love their integrity and DIY attitude.

Bolt Thrower

Clover, lollipop, Y shape are the most common I think, Sperzel do some slightly different ones. Don't know why choice for bass tuners is so limited compared to guitars.
