xilddx Posted April 21, 2013 Share Posted April 21, 2013 Most of us like a bit of the ol' how's yer farver, but is spanking your plank on a stage in front of people actually a more pleasurable experience for you? Your bass, that is. I don't mean knocking one out in front of a bunch of strangers, unless you live in Epping or summat. I would rather be celibate than not be able to play live in a band. What about you? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bobbass4k Posted April 21, 2013 Share Posted April 21, 2013 It depends what level you're comparing. There's playing to one man and his dog at a tiny pub, and there's a sold out Wembley stadium. There's terrified teenage fumblings on a pile of old sofa cushions in the garage at a friends house party (for a totally non-personal and in no way true example). And then there's... well let's just say it involves a jar of honey, some industrial grade sandpaper and a liability waiver. I'd say sold out Wembley is better than awkward teenage fumbling, and honey and sandpaper is better than one man and his dog in a crappy pub, but is sold out Wembley better than honey and sandpaper? I'm afraid I don't have sufficient experience, book me a show at Wembley and I'll tell you. I have my own honey. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
discreet Posted April 21, 2013 Share Posted April 21, 2013 May I take this opportunity to get the following out of my system? Fingering. Bottom. Strap on. Slapping. G-string. Wood. Thank you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Vader Posted April 21, 2013 Share Posted April 21, 2013 My dear chap, if playing songs is better than sex, then you are with the wrong woman. I would like to say my wife made me write that, cos it would be a very funny joke. However, she didn't (but she would have if I'd told her the question).

seashell Posted April 21, 2013 Share Posted April 21, 2013 Even a good practice session is better than sex AFAIC. It's me age. :-( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SpaceChick Posted April 21, 2013 Share Posted April 21, 2013 Hard to answer this one..... Currently, performing live for me is a real buzz (vibrator pun half intended as I'm currently not getting that WOW moment from performing with my band mates) However, I'm sure that when you are performing with other musicians where it all "comes together" then that would be rather fantastic. So based on that, I will have to for me say at the time being that they are incomparable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rubis Posted April 21, 2013 Share Posted April 21, 2013 You need to stay in more! On the other hand at least your children don't interrupt you when you're playing live! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rOB Posted April 21, 2013 Share Posted April 21, 2013 May I recommend/request one and then the other? The order seems irrelevant. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
