[QUOTE=BenJammin;14356019]La National, down on East St. Catharines.[/QUOTE]

Ok, I know some people who have played there, I, on the other hand, haven't because my band hasn't written any originals.

ben stop, im getting excited:evil:

[QUOTE=Brandon_S;14356023]That should get you banned,that is to beautiful to be on here. Funny,I use to hate pickup covers like those.,now I love them,I think that would be nice with a Black Headstock for some reason.[/QUOTE]

A headstock to match the top wood would be better, imo. I like pickup covers that are either the same as the fretboard wood or the top wood. Depends on the bass.

[QUOTE=Brandon_S;14356029]It gets better,I only like online though Single Player gets boring after a half hour.[/QUOTE]

i used to looovee that game. havent played it for a couple of years but i was awesome. had all the best runeword stuff and everything. daaymn i used to be a nerd:p

Ya and Single Player is hard, it took my friend a whole summer to get to level 30 not online, and it took my brother too weeks to get to level 86 online.

I love his tone.

Why do I suck so much at reading notes? :(

It is, new idea for me too, capo on bass...never tried it.

Bass clef im assuming?

[QUOTE=User Name;14356063]Why do I suck so much at reading notes? :([/QUOTE]

It's easier when you read notes on another instrument too.

It is true,like I said it all boils down to personal opinion.

Yeah.

I have to keep telling myself that F is actually A.



Edit: Wrong, Trevo. I play trumpet, the bass clef pisses me off to no end.

I still suck at reading the bass clef,playing clarinet has poisoned me.

Haha, I play trombone so I find reading bass really easy.

I suck at reading both. :\

My treble clef reading is getting better thanks to my guitar class in school, though.

[QUOTE=Brandon_S;14356084]It is true,like I said it all boils down to personal opinion.[/QUOTE]

Well, obviously. My custom will have a matching headstop, and pup covers made from the same wood as the fretboard. So, yeah. :p To each their own.

Hey Thonk, I've passed you...

[QUOTE=User Name;14356086]Yeah.

I never actually learned how to read bass cleff. I have to transpose by sight.

Should I switch to trumpet from bass in my Jazz Studies class? It would be easier to bring a trumpet back and forth daily and I'd probably look less like a no-talent *** clown who can't read notes.

I play trombone=a lot easier

I played Trumpet in Music Class,and Bass in Concert Band althrough out middle school (not like there was many complicated peices) but,I got used to it and now I don't find it confuseing and a weird switch.

[QUOTE=Trevo;14356094]Haha, I play trombone so I find reading bass really easy.[/QUOTE]

I have yet to meet a trombone player at my school who isn't useless.It's a sad thing.

[QUOTE=SlincoJ;14356087]I still suck at reading the bass clef,playing clarinet has poisoned me.[/QUOTE]

uhhh...i dont think so, ive played clarinet for 7 years, bass for 6

I know how you feel...And it sucks, but keep at it.

It took me about 15 minutes just now to be able to do the intro to So What. I suck.


Edit: yeah Ting, I suppose I'll probably never learn if I don't stick with it here.

[QUOTE=SlincoJ;14356134]I have yet to meet a trombone player at my school who isn't useless.It's a sad thing.[/QUOTE]

I'm not, I'm only in grade 9 and I'm 1 of 2 students in the Band with the grade 10 and 11.

Whatever works best for you,you may be able to learn faster too if you are looked upon to sight read,just start with simple key sigs,and simple short peices to get through and practice them dailey for a half hour minimum.

[QUOTE=Left Shoe;14356136]uhhh...i dont think so, ive played clarinet for 7 years, bass for 6[/QUOTE]

Well that doesn't change the fact that being used to reading treble clef makes me slip up when reading in the bass clef.

I don't read music. Makes life easy. <_<

Phil have you heard the new Dntel?

Life Is Full of Possibilities just came on and it reminded me.

I only read music when it's necessary, but I really wish I could read better.

I can only read bass clef, don't even want to try reading bass on treble.

Sorta makes me wish I played piano.

Killing two birds with one stone.

At first I was like that,then I got forced a bit,then that helped me alot now im quite confident with it,and helped my sight reading alot. Sometimes ill just pickup random scores I have from trumpet,or any other random scores and transpose,or just play it if it was in bass clef.

definitely agree thonk. wish my parents were the kind that forced me to play it starting at like the age of 3

[QUOTE=Thonk;14356179]Sorta makes me wish I played piano.

I just started takeing piano again a few weeks ago,its already helping with my ear.

I've always wished I played piano, but i never have gotten around to trying.

Do it if you want to,It helps so much,sometimes learning other instruments helps you get better at your principal instrument.

I think if my keyboard was of decent quality i'd actually have motivation to learn. *shrug*

My hand independence is pretty bad though.

I'm thinking instead of buying a new bass, buying a keyboard some piano books, and learning over the summer.
