BASS..

If you're an Iron Maiden fan, just learn Iron Maiden.

Also, using a pick to play bass is really gay.. Fingers are your friends.

But aren't Iron Maiden a lil' complicated for a beginner?
Steve Harris is so damn good, has a unique style, I've always thought his work with bass wasn't that easy...
 
It's perfect for beginners.

It's easy enough to read the tab and play, and it definitely helps build right hand endurance.

Ok, if you say it's perfect for beginners... I'll believe you.

Then, if more people would learn to play at least a bit like Harris does... I would be happier... and a lot.
 
Right hand endure is crucial for bass players, but luckily its easy to train up aswell. Just do some scales up and down.
 
yes..

anyway then

Who is you'r favorite bass player??

post names pics and info about what they usein.

Tom Araya (SLAYER)




sold in 3 different types. (TOM ARAYA, LTD TA-600, LTD TA-200) check it out here

p.s.

Not my fav bass player but i respect him for who he is and what music he plays. If some one went to 'The Unholy Alliance Chapter Two' they kno what im on about. Slayer completly rocked my arse off. Shame COB was second band on tho, should be just b4 slayer. Atmosphere was ace, but then Inflames F**ked it up... :( well at least 4 me they did :(
 
Seriously?

In flames was the highlight of the evening here in sweden, and im not a particular fan of them. They rawked out with their kawks out.

I wanna buy a bass, I want sth cheap and i don't really care about the mark of the bass so is this okay for a n00b? eBay: NEW~2007~GOTHIC BASS GUITAR~RED~SALE!! (item 280063348430 end time Dec-23-06 19:32:48 PST)

Bound Maple body, 24 Fret Rosewood Fret-board thats not bad for the price of this thing, the only question is what pickups it has....
i never heard of this bass before perhaps its not bad actually just replacing the pickups to EMG's or seymour duncan's and it might be nice bass for the money you will invest in it after all

looks great, but the pickups... :erk: singl coils!
[FONT=Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif, arial]2 low-noise alnico pickups[/FONT]
[FONT=Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif, arial]
man forget it!!! passive single coil pickups will NEVER be silent. you want sound of single coil go active pickups. (active = requires 9v battery to work)

[/FONT]
[FONT=Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif, arial]Very nice looking and sounding bass. Clean mids, thumping lows. A nice bass for slapping, funk, or rock. Automotive grade finish. Low noise electronics. Satisfaction Guaranteed![/FONT]
man forget it. the bass it self great but sound of it.... just from the description SUCKS.
