Where would you be?
 
This is the thread where YOU, can tell everyone where you think you would be with your bass playing, without this bass forum.

I'll start by saying that I definetaly(s/p?) wouldn't be as skilled, nor would I have an ERB.

neatobassman 11-07-2005 08:17 PM

I would probably have the same level of playing, but I wouldn't know sh[size=2]it[/size] about amps, basses, other equipment, artists, etc.

MasterofBass 11-07-2005 08:17 PM

I wouldn't be as open to various genres of music and know different bassists. I also would not be as far as I am with skills because of different tips on pretty much everything.
And i wouldn't know crap about gear, and different things about basses (neck thru, pickups, etc)

Plus, I wouldn't know as many cool bassists :thumb:

I get it!! :D

BassVirtuoso 11-07-2005 08:22 PM

I wouldn't listen to Wooten because I would still think he was a guitarist that used 4 strings.

Worrpigs 11-07-2005 08:36 PM

id probably have a life.

Moon Flavor 11-07-2005 08:38 PM

I'd still be playing guitar.

FU.CKY.OU 11-07-2005 09:33 PM

I'd still think Flea was the fecal matter of all bassist.

I wouldnt know how to slap/pop/tap/harmonic/..i wouldnt know about anything except fingerstyle.

I wouldn't know that the "dude from RUSH" (yeah, i know his names geddy lee) was regarded as a top bassist.

I..would...probably get more homework done.

EADG 11-07-2005 09:33 PM

I would probably suck a lot.

Tazu 11-07-2005 10:21 PM

id be in a ditch passed out in montana

[QUOTE=Tazu]id be in a ditch passed out in montana[/QUOTE]

..and i'm standing nearby with a stick of butter and a tranquilizer gun...:lol:




:p










:naughty:

godzillarator 11-07-2005 10:51 PM

i am passed out in a ditch

Well i wouldnt kno anything and i would get pwned by store owners

Pluperfect_Arson 11-07-2005 11:18 PM

Eh...I'd probably be better than I really am because I'd actually be practising instead of sitting on here. Well, I don't know since my bass is always at my guitarist's house because of transportation issues.

I'd probably study theory more than I'd ever need to, which is what I used to do even while I was on this site.

I probably wouldn't know all that much about equipment.




So, pretty much, I just wouldn't know much on equipment. :)

Scooch 11-07-2005 11:27 PM

I wouldn't have known the threadstarted lived 15 minutes away from me.

pukeboy66 11-07-2005 11:31 PM

id still be listening to blink 182 sum 41 and avril lavigne

funkyhoney 11-07-2005 11:33 PM

id be hudled in a corner, with a small pile of burning bass pieces in teh centre of the room...

Tryxx 11-07-2005 11:34 PM

Outside. Seriously... that's not a joke. :upset:

I'd probably be your generic speed finger rock bassist with no musical knowledge and simply a mindless shredder. I say that because I'd just be hitting notes and not know what I was doing...

I'd be as skilled, but I wouldn't know as much about different brands, pick ups, amps etc.

[QUOTE=ShetaN bRaT]I'd be as skilled, but I wouldn't know as much about different brands, pick ups, amps etc.[/QUOTE]

Exactly the same with me.

I would probably had never seen that Schecter Stilleto Custom 5 I love so much without you guys :).

m-dirnt_fan101 11-08-2005 12:38 AM

i would still think blink 182 is the greatest band ever

PainKiller8191 11-08-2005 12:51 AM

well without the forum I wouldn't be at my level of playing, maybe in a year or two i would have acheived where I am now...

and i wouldn't know jack **** about equipment, solo bassists, tapping, (before the forum i thought it was all EvH style i hate that so much), playing in the pocket, locking, and anything about taking care of my bass
THANK U MX!

BassPlayingPineapple 11-08-2005 01:17 AM

Well, i wouldn't know about Jaco, Victor, Hamm etc and i wouldn't know about all the different brands, Warwick etc

Machines 11-08-2005 01:23 AM

I might have given up or not bothered playing very much.

I wouldn't have a fretless or 6 string.

I wouldn't listen to most of the music I do now.

I'd still think Newstead was the best bassist ;).

Crudd-Bucket™ 11-08-2005 01:39 AM

I would be crap as like I was before I came on here. These forums have helped so much, especially with my bassist knowledge. An invaluble resource :p

da_s_man13 11-08-2005 01:44 AM

[QUOTE=m-dirnt_fan101]i would still think blink 182 is the greatest band ever[/QUOTE]


They are the best band tho! :upset:


Id probably have more of a life if i didnt find MX, ive already converted my guitarist into a forum junkie :thumb: Id probably just lack a whole bunch of knowledge on gear if i didnt join.

Mr. JazzMaster 11-08-2005 01:56 AM

I would still have no Freaking clue about OHM'S.

Urban Rhythm 11-08-2005 10:40 AM

No different, I've never learnt anything about techniques etc on here, the same things get said all the time, as even I say them when teaching students. I don't feel that spending all your spare time on a forum can help you much, surely spending that time actually practising and gigging etc will help your playing alot more.
