:OMG: is that it, is this the total population of bassists on this forum?








:err:
Well the significant population of actual musicians on here moved on after the off-topic was closed. Add onto that the fact that when you posted this it was in the early morning hours in the US, and you have yourself a candidate for next to no replies.
 
My friend loves Opeth, his favorite band, and he is a bassist. Guess that does not count though eh??? Well, either way, I can tell you he has a Jackson 5 string with active p-ups, (kind of like the bassist from Bodom used to use), and he ahs a crappy solid state crate bass amp.
 
I play bass... Own just two bass guitars. A Fender Jazz bass (U.S.) - with passive pick-ups and a Music Man Stingray 4 string fretless (active). Also, I use Ampeg for volume.
 
Hi I´m new to the board and so I thought I could boost the count of low end providers here. I play a OLP MM3 5-string bass, it´s a cheaper version of the Musicman stingray with passive pickups.

I really dig the bassplaying in Opeth, it´s not really up front taking over but it is very tasty and I definetly think it would have deep impact on the band if the bass wasnt so friggin good.
 
i dunno i guess to bid u fareweel is hard so i havent even bothered trying not that good yet, one that i enjoy playing is Advent and im looking for a tab of Nectar

A guitar player comes to the doctor and complains about a serious deterioration of his memory. He especially has a hard time remembering correct changes and is afraid to lose all his gigs. Since the doctor can't find the cause, he asks the guitarist to leave behind his brain for a week in his lab for more detailed examinations. After seven days the guitar player fails to show up, and even after 2 more weeks there's no sign of him. Finally the doctor runs into him on the street, grabs him and asks: "Excuse me, but your brain is still waiting for you to stop by and pick it up, so why don't you show up?" The guitarist says, "Well, I think you can keep it; I finally switched to bass..."





A man gives his son an electric bass for his 15th birthday, along with a coupon for four bass lessons. When the son returns from his first lesson, the father asks, "So, what did you learn?"

"Well, I learned the first five notes on the E string." Next week, after the second lesson, the father again asks about the progress, and the son replies, "This time I learned the first five notes on the A string." One week later, the son comes home far later than expected, smelling of cigarettes and beer. So the father asks: "Hey, what happened in today's lesson?" "Dad, I'm sorry I couldn't make it to my lesson; I had a gig!"
