WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOP!! I got a Distinction, 91%! DOUBLE WOOOOOOOOOOOOOP! Having a chaotic week at work, so this came just in time.... f**k yeaaaaa

I'm learning tapping atm in my lesson and finding that I'm prone to cramp while I'm building my stength up. I'm doing a good 20 min warm up but it's just building up the strength required for tap at the mo so keep getting it. Does anyone have any advice or tips? Is it best to play through it or rest?

I've got mine insured through... uh... oh god I've forgotten! Norwich Union? Aviva? Feck. Either way it was really cheap and I got free DNA tracing stuff. Bargain

I've only heard of one Attack Attack band.. am I missing something? Congrats though that's fab

Yes, because I don't like stingrays

My local music shop don't do ANY 5er strings, let alone fretless. I have to order everything online.

I haven't got the money for GAS atm! The gas is still there.. but I can't give in to it

I haven't got any of the parts, but I have 2 sets of flatwound strings donated to me by bottomendian, failing that I'd happily chuck a tenner in towards the cost of repairing it.

Play that funky music!

All I want to achieve is To be able to play well enough that I'm happy with my standard To be able to write creatively To be able to use a variety of techniques and be decent at them To continually learn To continually LOVE playing To write music that others will enjoy and to be able to play live, even if I don't make money from it. I'm not into bass for fame and fortune. I play bass because I LOVE to play bass.

One day when I get round to it I'll post something to show off my 'chops'... lol

Randomer!

[/quote] Not saying that... just mainly that he's missing an opportunity to beat his skins... much unlike 99% of the male population I've met thus far Wait... that makes me sound like a whore

Not impressed. He's missed out the beat! Where's the drums!? Although not sure what else is left to use... apart from, well, [i]that[/i]...

[quote name='dlloyd' post='901871' date='Jul 22 2010, 01:38 PM']The double bass is a member of the violin family. The bass guitar isn't.[/quote] True, but then what about fretless basses... they're more like double basses!

I always thought of it as a guitar, until someone said above about the double bass aspect... now I'm just confused, so I picked plonk

You mean my 5 string is WRONG??

Victor Wooten!

Depends what I'm play. Bright poppy for slap, deep and growly for rock, somewhere in the middle for everything else
