| havn't touched my bass in quite a while.


What are you kids doing these days?
Around the time | left there was alot of emphasis on Thumbing and Tapping, and worship of Victor Wooten.

| find that |m not as fast as | used to be, hopefully | can get up to speed again. |ve just been busy with school, work, and girlfriend.
and with no band There is little motivation to practice constantly.



What are the current bass forum fads?

[Raiven]

Emo, Double Thumping and touchstyle are the hip things.

What are the current bass forum fads?


Spamming, trolling, flaming...



Schecter obsession seems to be the trend du jour.

[Myung]

Spamming, trolling, flaming...



| believe | was spicific to the MX bass forum :chug:

[katana_manatee]

Well Schecters kick arse at such a decent price.

[kilian]

Spamming, trolling, flaming...


Nah that's just like it was always and will be. ;)

I've been working on my band's demo that we're going to send out and so are other people from the forum.

[super deluxe]

Nah that's just like it was always and will be. ;)



Hey, I didn't say it's a bad thing!

[Led_Zeppelin678]

Well Schecters kick arse at such a decent price.

I love the stiletto studio.

[Jahmez]

It seems to me like Jaco and fretless playing are in style again. Also, the Maxwell Murder solo has been talked about for the past few days.

[Polyamarous]

Someone has been contacted by EMI

[kilian]

Hey, I didn't say it's a bad thing!
Neither did I girl :D

[will66]

I love the stiletto studio.

WORD :thumb: :thumb:

[bottlerocket]

Raiven: Emo isn't a big deal around here...not that I've seen, anyway. :amaze:

Schecter is the current fad, with Ibanez coming in a close second. Jaco is being revered as is fretless playing in general. Also, there's not nearly as much emphasis on speed anymore...it's mostly slapping/tapping. I'm yet to see fingerstyle highly regarded around here. :(

Nice to see you posting again, Myung. :wave:

[BassVirtuoso]

Oh shi it's Myung.

Post a pic of your bass with the design on it again.

[bottlerocket]

^ That thing was badass.

I love how he still uses | for I. :D

-Gav

[lateralus423]

Why do you use | for i, just curious?

[bottlerocket]

^ Because he's Myung and he can. :)

Actually I never knew...

-Gav

[TheBassStylee]

isnt it an absoulte value sign?? (like -> |6 - 12| = 6, or |-8| = 8 ... lol)
anyways..
i think a DIY defretting is becoming common.. multiple threads on it every few days

> mike

[muthafunkabass]

yeah its an absolute value sign.

[Luchesi]

Schecter obsession seems to be the trend du jour.

I see Schecter obsession all over this forum, yet I will never understand it. IMO, the only Schecter worth playing is the Stiletto Exotic, and even that one isn't actually worth buying.

But Myung, Double-Thumbing has been very trendy, although I've noticed a decreased fascination with the song, "Classical Thump". I imagine the DT technique itself will be popular for awhile until it becomes a standard.

[bottlerocket]

Luchesi: I took care of it. :p

yeah its an absolute value sign.

No, it's half of an absolute value sign...technically 1/3, since there's no number.

|x| <--- absolute value, where x is an integer.

| <--- 1/3 of an absolute value

Oh man I'm such a math nerd.

[Luchesi]

Luchesi: I took care of it. :p


-Gav

Thanx, my cracker....

You are white, right?

[bottlerocket]

^ I am...very, actually. There's a pic of me in my profile if you look at my profile picture. :thumb:

Dear god... and I thought I was as white as it got...

Edit: it appears it is I who is your cracker!

[lateralus423]

Lol i always loved math.............................

[Jahmez]

Classical pieces also seem to be getting more popular around here.

[thelowsoundofbass]

well fretless and jazz are more popular than ever, as is walking bass lines. on the other side fo the spectrum there are a few really good touchstyle players that have shown themselves latly and the six string has made a re-emergance.

lowsound

[wonder_steve]

There's a pretty widespread Warwick club.

And modding a Jazz is pretty popular.

[iceman3019]

if i recall correctly, there was a 6 string craze for a while about eight or so months ago, where about every 3 days, there'd be somebody posting a picture of their new carvin, modulus, ibanez, or cort . . .

[Myung]

And modding a Jazz is pretty popular.

No way around that is there?


Oh shi it's Myung.

Post a pic of your bass with the design on it again.

That artwork around the room is almost scary, but yet BAD ***!
-Biz

[:amaze:]

how'd you do that stuff?




:amaze:

[Az_Holl]

The guitar is cool but the bass is to 'busy'

Still cool though

[PaulR]

Why is there a bike on the ceiling? :amaze:

[TheMachineRagesOn]

Well a crap load of us are modding, re painting our spare basses lol, that and what ever was mentioned above.

(You idjit the drumkit's on the ceiling)

[HaVIC5]

Holy crap, nice decals, man. :thumb: Nice to see you back in action on MX too.

Wasn't the "|" thing at first because of a broken "i" key on your keyboard, then you just started doing it because it looked cool? Or am I wrong.

[bottlerocket]

^ I thought he drew them himself...I don't think they are decals...

-Gav

[fingerstyle]

They look like permament marker sorta stuff.

[Jahmez]

That bass is beautiful. It looks much better than those atrocious basses/guitars I see (owned by local musicians) with flames painted on or stickers covering them.

[Linkinbassist]

I got a 6 string! I love it to bits, i used it for my first local show and it held up well. Umm, i guess the fretless is back, and i also see a lot of emphasis on songwriting on the bass again. its a nicer atmosphere now everyone isn't all about DT'ing and shizzle...

[kilian]

Myung.. can I ask you to order a pickguard, paint it and send it my way sometime? :amaze:

Including payment ofcourse :thumb:

[Questionable_Reflection]

those are some sick details i love the bottom of the acustic

[HaVIC5]

^ I thought he drew them himself...I don't think they are decals...

-Gav
I know, but they're decals just the same.

[TheBassStylee]

dam, Myung that is some awsome work!!!

[Myung]

[Myung]

this moment is the first time | have just sat down and played with my bass, | forgot just how smooth, and soothing the sound feels. :)

[Jaded]

^ That thing was badass.

I love how he still uses | for I. :D

-Gav
I still think it looks dumb.

[hellonearth07]
