I think that playing metal or hard rock is a bit complex than classic rock, so if You played metal and want classic rock - it will not make problems. That is what happened to me - i played a lot of genres before like jazz, funk latin, acid jazz, fusion, classic rock, but could not play good at hard rock rehearsal. Of course - it always depends specially on You.

In my 25 year bass life - i got so much problems to learn slap. At first i tried Flea way and got it in elementary position. After 4 years i had a big period where i didn't need to play slap/pop bass, so i got to restart from zero. Last years i only played fretless where slap is not the best sounding style. About a half year ago i reset my main bass should be 5 string fretted and i tried to slap again, but dahh - i was a slut. I tried some youtube learning videos, but somehow it didn't work. 4 days ago i bought a book - ''Acid for a children'' - Flea life biography. There was some part telling that Flea once seen a black bass guitarist playing slap/tequinique. And he just wrote - I like it and i will learn it. And he said he did it. Today i took my 5 string Yamaha trb 5p II and tried to slap and somehow the elementary things got right. So now i decided to learn it very well and believe i will be able to do it.

Hmm...take a champagne.

Yeah, maybe - No quarter.

I have played a lot of depressing songs for me, but no other choice - You have to play them, or not get the money. Just play them and forget about it, get the money and it's ok.

Best regards for returnig back to old, good, funny BC.

Just a pint of bear before a long geeg. Cheers.

Who believes, that does. You believe - you do, why not others do what they believe ?

Very good decision. I do it too.😉

Keep on - don;t watching eurovision in future.

I am absolutely not against longhorn sound, because i never tried it, but body design - don't like at all. It associates like fat fitness trainer.

Yeah, agreed, EV is very serously for Latvia, but not for me. I never ever watched any semi or final at tv.

EV is just a show. This year i didn't liked the song and showman representing my country.

I think - Hartke stuff is a bit more better than Fender rumble.

Best regards !

When i practised drum beats to bass and different chords from guirar and keyboard, I just used a lot of different wav saples, mixing together and playing over and over again. The collection i got was for free from my friend. It was easy and very healpful, but of couse there are a lot soft. One of them i was interested was ''gig a day''.

OK, it's clear now.😉

What about the pickups now ?

I had been in my country finals once, but since then and now i hate it.

As i remember - Fender 2003. Jaco signature jazz bass.

Small and stylish.

My yesterday rehearsal in a new band was critical. The band was death metal, all tattued with satanistic signs, very young age. I thought i would be killed after the rehearsal and all my gear will be taken away. They all drunk 40% balm like coca cola. Finally i got up and said that nothing will continue and got home. Really felt very bad.
