I dont have any links i heard it on ska party soo Ill ask skip for links lata

Yeah I like to try drums every now and then because that's my favorite instrument but I suck at them so I stick with bass.

[QUOTE=Tyler]Where did you rent them from? I didn't know you could do that.[/QUOTE]


It's called "The Doo Wop Shop". They started out as a place that rents out orchestra an band instruments for schools, and then they eventually added guitars and basses and drums. It's just local I think.

If you can play guitar you can play anything, that's what I've found.

I <3 Rancid Dan.

From personal experience since i play guitar i can play most things except for drums...i just cant di it:(

[QUOTE=BERSERKER!]Bass is a poor man's guitar.[/QUOTE]

Wrong. I used to think that too, before i started playing bass. Most guitarists could never play the kind of bass lines a good bass player can play. It's just a whole different instrument.

Someone that commits themselves to playing bass and playing it well will be better than even the best guitarist would be at playing bass.

EDIT: Unless of course said guitarist also was a bass player(not just able, but has studied and knows the finer points of bass along with the practice of it).

When you listen to bands like Choking victim and five hours, it's hard not to want to be a bassist. I probably would have stopped playing if not for these two bands.

Choking Victim don't have much to their bass lines...

Catchy though.

Im pretty bad when I dont pratice. I guess I should start again this summer. Iv just been busy.

i was about to say that myself. i played guitar just barely before i bought the bass, and it did help a little to teach myself the bass (i didn't have to go looking up "which of these frets is G?" on google or anything), but it's definitely way different. i try to take what i can from one and maybe use it with the other (bass has helped me a bit with solos on guitar, not to mention my hands are alot stronger), but the two are definitely very different.

Yeah, that's what I meant. The basslines sound amazing, but even a 15 year old kid in kentucky can pick up his bass and play along.

Very true. Bass rules.

I can play bass pretty well but not s good as a bassist.

Yeah playing guitar obviously helps if you want to pick up the bass because they're both string instruments and the strings and notes (G is in the same place on bass as on guitar) are the same. Only difference is you have 4 or 5 strings rather than 6 usually.

The bad thing around here is, everyone plays bass. So it's hard to start bands. I rented the drums so I could learn them and be in a band with any of my friends that played bass. But I can't do it. Bass is just fun, and many people play it becuase it's not as complicated to play as guitar is. It sucks when you try to start a band. You have to basically plead with people to play guitar or drums. Even worse for horns

Drums are hard, I mean you have to do like 10 billion diffrent things at once. But theyre alota fun.

123 but for Guitar.

Everyone here plays guitar, and I'm the only good guitarist who doesn't play metal and takes the instrumen seriously.

probably :)

Again, misconception if you think bass isn't complicated. If you think that, you're not a very good bass player and you definitely aren't going to learn much. Bass is no less complicated than guitar, both take practice and work.

You could say the same about guitar. Anyone can strum a few chords. With bass, anyone can play the three root notes of a three chord punk song. But it's not as easy becoming good at both instruments.

I was sleeping this afternoon, then I had this dream, punks and Skins were trying to kill me with canned peaches.. :confused:

Thats odd, maybe too much of these forums and the food network.

The Food Network is godly.

Yes it is. Good Eats is one of the best shows ever.

Had a gig last night, played brilliantly, the punk who got us the gig loved us and wants us to play again. Lost my mp3 player, ended up the DJ has it so i have to meet him to get it. Bought myself Desmond Dekker and DKM Dvds. Good times.

So kiddies. I might not be posting till next weekend. Unless i find time to post this weekend
<3

[QUOTE=obese_breasts]Yes it is. Good Eats is one of the best shows ever.[/QUOTE]

Quoted for truth

I was watching it last night, 2 am they show two episodes. But my cable kept going out and I missed most of the important stuff about making yogurt!

You must open server at 2 for this godly man posting right now.

I dont catch the food network anymore took away cabel :(

The dubbing is hilarious. But Alton Brown is a genius announcer.

Is the rest of The Eternal Cowboy as good as Cliche Guevara?

That's the only song I've heard. I hope it is.

Listen to Veronica's show.

[QUOTE=BERSERKER!]Is the rest of The Eternal Cowboy as good as Cliche Guevara?[/QUOTE]

I don't like that song all that much, but ATEC is a pretty good CD. my favorites are TSR, Slurring the Rhythms and Turn Those Clapping Hands into Angry Balled Up Fists
