[QUOTE=Foxfire]So...how about them basses with 6 pots, 3 switches, and two of those slider things for series/parallel?[/QUOTE]

:cool:

I woulds have to say the Fender J-Bass because I have seen those things in almost any genre. Claypool has a J-Bass, Bassist/Singer of Starting Line, Many Funk Players, Punk Bassists, etc.

[QUOTE=GeezerRULEZ]What is the most versatile bass anyone can think of? (and my post count is shooting up...lol)[/QUOTE]

Wal, followed by a G&L.

And why do you say that?

My Conklin, when I get around to getting it custom wired, will pwn all.

And Radiobass, do you think a DB-500 that's refurbished B-stock is worth 320 USD + shipping?

G&L's are **** versatile. I'd say them for mass produced basses. Then theres customs.

I don't want a great versatile bass though really, I still want a G&L one day. I'd rather have more than one bass though that are great at certain things.

To the above: Why do I say that the Wal is versatile or the G&L? Or both?

It won't own my future Wal... Just wait a long time for it.

And, B-stock just means it's repackaged. Yeah, it's worth it.

I bought it for $400.... :upset:

Your Right. I would to. But a jobless teen like myself can't actuallly afford a bass for everything he does. He can only upgrade the one he has.

How many of you guys are into therory?

Have anyone ever tried drawing the bass they want?

I'm bored and I thought I might start trying to draw them.

I want a fretless Wal. The fact that Justin Chancellor alone makes me want one. :cool: I'd like a Conklin first. I'm 800 bucks away from my dream bass (modifications to my Conklin GT-7 :p).

So okay. When I get 350~ USD I'll pick me up a DB-500. :cool:

I've been learning to read bass from the bass clef in my old piano books all day. Yay for reading music.

I use theory...

I had my friend (great at art) draw me a custom bass. It was beautiful. I wish I had a scanner and could show you all.

I am so taking music theory next year as an AP class.

I really wanna learn to improv well. My bass teacher is getting into that. He teaches me more theory than anything else...which is hella cool.

Yep, mine looks awesome. It's i'm sure about the core, maybe mahogany, and the laminates are going to be quilted/figured maple and zebra wood.

It looks kinda like a CT but not.

In all honesty I like to have a style that the luthier likes. In doing so, he's putting his own love of music and instruments into it.

And I'm not looking over his shoulder going "THAT should be like THAT."

Now INLAYS on the other hand...

My bass looks like the Anti-matter of claypool. I would make love to that bass.

[QUOTE=popinfresh]123.

Your post counts going through the roof today.[/QUOTE]


Indeed.


:amaze:

lol. I need it. I swear most n00bs have more posts than I. But like It matters. It's 11:44 pm here and im hella bored.

[QUOTE=GeezerRULEZ]My bass looks like the Anti-matter of claypool. I would make love to that bass.[/QUOTE]

I might regret asking this but... How do you plan on making love to a bass?

Well, I'm going to bed. Later.

I just put new strings on my bass.

I LOVE THE SOUND OF NEW STRINGS :thumb:

LoL. I dunno. You got me!

Have any of you guys ever used Guitar Pro?

EDIT: Making love to bass = Playing until fingerd bleed.

Yes, I love Guitar Pro.

I copied all of Classical Thump into GP. Doing Stomping Grounds at the moment, and then Sometimes I Laugh.

No ones says goodnight anymore :upset:.

And GuitarPro is cool, but there are better out there IMO.

Goodnight Radiobass.

And there are, but I got Guitar Pro full for free. Might as well take advantage. :p

[QUOTE=Radiobass81]No ones says goodnight anymore :upset:.

Good night. :thumb:

Yeah.

I have this imaginary band and I write their songs in Guitar Pro 3.

Guitar Pro Rules! I use it a lot to communicate songs to my band after I write them. Since Midi are super tiny they are real easy to send back and fourth.

[QUOTE]Yeah.

LOL!!!

I use finale... Is that like guitar pro? I compose stuff on it with a bunch of different instruments it's nice. But the guitar sounds like keyboard.

Suggestions for songs to increase finger speed? I was thinking of trying to do Glass Prison.

[QUOTE=Foxfire]Suggestions for songs to increase finger speed? I was thinking of trying to do Glass Prison.[/QUOTE]

Learn as much of chromatic fantasy as you can. That helped me out a bunt load.

Yeah it does. I like guitar pro because of the tab thing. My band memembers can't read sheet music and play it on guitar. I picked up reading sheet music on the bass because I started playing upright about 6 months ago.

A true man/bassist has to play upright atleast once. It's hard!

im trying to nail slang for jaco. man its quick

You can't frickin put that smilie at the end of your post. I got confused and though I said it...

Some Billy Sheehan/Mr. Big songs. Most of glass prison isn't actually that fast, it's the matter of learning all of it and been able to endure the whole 14minutes of it.

that would be tough

True.

But as yours is simply a signature. Mine actually has a meaning, because, in fact, I am amazed.

Hmm, I'm gonna join the airforce I think.
