[QUOTE=thelowsoundofbass;13596200]So I need a way to get better grip on my pics. I love the way that the pics that I have feel, but they have no grip on the, they are smooth. Sweaty hands + smooth pic = lots of dropped pics.

Just get a knife and score cross hatches into them.

And i think you can buy dunlop picks with a special grip thing on them...

I get music... then i just... stockpile it :/ Then it just sits around untill i can be bothered listening to it.

Thonk 11-08-2006 11:59 PM

Get a little knife, razor blade even, and make a pistol grip (criss crossed lines) pattern on the part where your fingers touch the pick.

I think the bassist from SOAD does that.. I tried it once and it worked pretty good.

Edit: beaten. :p

Az_Holl 11-09-2006 12:00 AM

Beat! Plus my explantion was better than 'criss crossed lines'. God knows what couldve happend if hed tried that.

Too bad picks are for failed guitarists.

Anyone know the study of skull sizes as a science? The nazis used it to prove "racial superiority"?

Nevermind, I found it. Eugenics.

Thonk 11-09-2006 12:04 AM

Just picks?

Bass is for failed guitarists, first and foremost.

Nope. Just picks.

Bass is for failed musicians. That's why it's meant to stay in the background where it can't be heard.

Spaceman Spiff 11-09-2006 12:19 AM

Well, after killing it with my (joking) negativity, I think I'll head off to bed.

I'll leave you with this message: Someone's got to do the culling of the fold.


If it doesn't make sense, find a way for it to make sense... and make it make sense in the worst way possible. Only then shall you find the true meaning.

Are mental and nervous breakdowns are the same?
Nevermind Wikipedia says YES!

Pinhead13 11-09-2006 01:13 AM

wahahhaaaaaaa


major life desicion haaaaaaahaaaaaaa.....I hate lame threads and the "General Discussion" forum.

One Groovin Clown 11-09-2006 01:13 AM

Does any one have any programs that allow me to record my bass onto my computer? I have the USB attachment, I just need a program to actually record it.

Edit: omg, theres a thread that has the same question right below this. :lol:

Pinhead13 11-09-2006 01:16 AM

Audacity is free.

One Groovin Clown 11-09-2006 01:20 AM

I'm downloading Audition that Ben put up.

Pinhead13 11-09-2006 01:24 AM

I downloaded it once....if it comes with a key or some number please post if here. It worked for 30 days .:(

One Groovin Clown 11-09-2006 01:47 AM

The one that Ben uploaded comes with a key generator.

Worked fine for me.

Lefties unite. I'm good, I'm avoiding the study of geometry by instead posting on this dumb interblag and playing C&C: Generals. I just beat a Brutal PC enemy for the first time evarrrr! gg me.

red alert is good, i prefer the tiberian series though.

renegade was awesome

lemoley 11-09-2006 06:17 AM

renegade is a first person shooter right?

funkyhoney 11-09-2006 06:27 AM

[QUOTE=lemoley;13597039]renegade is a first person shooter right?[/QUOTE]

correct, and some people made a mod for it called RenAlert so it was in the Red Alert universe.

Likewise. ^_^

I really like Generals, the game is just so nicely balanced IMO. But I don't play against people often, and when I do, they're not the l337 hXc rush types. They play like gentlemen. :D The missions are too easy though... This coming from a guy who couldn't beat a Brutal mano-a-mano until today.

The new game is going to be fcking amazing.

Also, I am craving Tiberian Sun now.

lemoley 11-09-2006 07:29 AM

well im glad you like it then ;)

anyway guys im outter her, see ya

sixner 11-09-2006 07:30 AM

d-mart 11-09-2006 08:28 AM

Anyone?

mutant! 11-09-2006 08:35 AM

lol @ the bass lod being dead, always.

Hey guys, what would be a nice P/J configuration (around Seymour Duncan price ranges) for Justin Chancellor and Juan Alderete tones? My bassist friend is quite into Tool and TMV. I'm thinking a Quarter Pounder P and some form of an alnico-magnet J Stack would do him good. Opinions?

Spaceman Spiff 11-09-2006 09:34 AM

Sitting in class... though this one is ending in a couple minutes. Then I have English, which is pretty lame.

b82b14b7 11-09-2006 11:24 AM
