Oh.

Well I can't play that fast at all. Would you recommend any practices or anything other than play challenging songs?




Yar.

hnmmmmm, i would say.... maxwell murder? thats all i can think of that will get your hands moving.


The weirdest thing just happened. some people came to the door and asked for me, so my mum shouted up saying theres some people at the door for you, so then my mum walks away to watch tv. i go to the door and theres no one there, i check around the corner of the door and no one there, i look down the street and they hadnt ran off or anything (they arent [b]that[/b] fast! so thats weird!

Just anthing that causes you to stretch your hand alot all over the fretboard, your not building true speed as you want to build stregnth.

Doorbell Ditch.

like knocky knocky nine doors?

but in knocky knocky 9 doors its different, the way we used to play it was you would run along a street ringing all the bells on 9 houses then just sprinting away.

these people actually came to the door!


probably just some friends messin about... or it might have been some charvas!

So I'm not as concerned about speed as much as endurance?




Yar.

Endurance is the first step to gaining speed.

yeah, try learning sleep now in the fire and playing it all the way through, now that will test your strength!

(sleep now in the fire - rage against the machine)

The thing is is that your trying to make the mucles in your hand move faster, but you have to have mucles there before you start to push em.

Ok thanks guys.

I actually know some songs that are somewhat speedy and make you stetch. Very endurance testing. One of them is actually the guitar part to a song.




Yar.

the only real way to get fast is to play over and over and over, untill you can play it with out even thinking

Hey i was messing around with double thumbing today, i started doing double thumbing with the thumb and then index finger, in succession. Has this been done

Hmm...think I should put a badass bridge on my B-205?

I think every bass should have a Badass.

Good point, the black is like black black, and not just like a blackened metal right?

I think so, if I understand you right.

'k I just want to make sure it matches up with my hardware. But I may end up replacing everything anyway...dunno yet.

every once in awhile ill just be like "omg i need a conklin" i got another one of those today, either a 7 fretted or a freltess 4 , god i need money.

I love conklins just not the GTs.

whats wrong with the gt's?

Bolt-on, 2 band Eq, I've played a alot better and Im not willing to sacrifice just for an extra string. Dont get me wrong they are nic basses but meh. I love all the other Conklins though.

hmm im a fan of bolt ons and i dont have a problem with 2 band eq , so i guess i wont have a problem with this kinda bass. they just look so good.

^^^^ I agree, yeah funkn, you gotta admit though, they are **** nice basses for the price!
