I really want to get better at being able to play on bass what I come up with in my head. Sometimes I come up with some wicked stuff but I can't figure it out when I try to play it. :upset:

try just getting a keyboard or piano or something.

they can be helpful for writing and figuring out certain things, since there arent the same restraints on piano as there are on bass.

Yeah. I'm getting ambitious. <_< I know that I want nothing less than a 7, but I don't know how many more strings I realistically need past that. I mean, I'm sure I could find a use for the high Bb, since I like to solo and all that, but the F# might be wasted on me/my rig.

And, like I said, I might get Chris Stambaugh to build me one, too. It'd only be about $2k for a 7, and his prices (apparently) come standard with an exotic top.

I can't get over how different my four feels. How did I play something so tiny? I can wrap my hand all the way around the neck! It is so weird.

Someone wanna judge how correct my tab was for Off The Wall-Michael Jackson?

[QUOTE=Thonk;13535576]What is that?[/QUOTE]

My cover-art-in-progress.

should i continue with text in that specific one?

[QUOTE=British Kid;13535590]should i continue with text in that specific one?[/QUOTE]

Yeah, I think so.

You're making an album?

Sweet.

[QUOTE=Thonk;13535605]You're making an album?

<_<

>_>

I've been making an album since April. :p I finished it in August, 'cept for the cover art.

Oh my.

I guess I don't pay attention.

[QUOTE=Thonk;13535615]Oh my.

I guess I don't pay attention.[/QUOTE]

Haha, I wouldn't worry about it. Most people don't pay attention to the my musical comings and goings.

hows that text? right idea, or sucky?

Eh, a bit on the sucky side.

Sorry. :(

It just looks too cheesey.

well can you give me any idea as to what you want? i really have no idea so i'm just hitting the "standards" of photoshop text.

You should try a hand resting against the blue mosiac glass and have the name written on that.

Ben Lesser/A Lesser Man.

Well, I'm not sure if I totally dig the font... that might be the biggest part of the problem. I'm a font n00b, so I couldn't really say what I'm looking for.

but thats still a really good idea.

maybe something more fancy and elegant looking?

No, no hands. :p Hands don't have anything to do with the ocean.

[QUOTE=British Kid;13535694]maybe something more fancy and elegant looking?[/QUOTE]

Yeah, that sounds better.

It could be a drowning man, because you will be drowning in awesome bass sounds when you buy the album.

Sorry Ben. :(
It wasn't a slam, I was just thinking of the Pearl Jam song, "better man"

Ha, no worries. I got that kind of crap from kids all the time when I was young. Now most of them are a[size=2]ssholes[/size] working dead-end jobs, or are university drop outs. I got the best of them.

alright, how's this?

[url]http://i76.photobucket.com/albums/j34/British_Kid/ben%20lesser/4colorprelim3.jpg[/url]

I like the font, but not the location. Remember that the album title has to go on, still (and in a different coloured font, please).

Speaking of jobs. Yesterday my and my friend went into town and got job applications at every store(exept food venders). We flipped a coin to see who would go first and then took turns after that. It was kinda funny when i had to ask for a job and Bebe, then Ann Taylor. The most embarassing was Victoria's Secret by far.
