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

You can't really play those in any FUN WAY without a 5 or 6 string anyway >, have you seen my bass tabs for them? Some guy converted my tab into the 4 string (martin mendez) version, if anyone wants to see that...

I'm tabbing Nectar, but I haven't really done anything to it in a long while. I posted the bass that I've done so far for it on here once a long time ago, you could probably find it if you searched for it.

Anyway, I'm a bassist, I have been pretty good for the last few years (I took it up 4 years ago), and I'm finally starting to get pretty darn good (i'm majoring in jazz electric bass in a conservatory). My equipment isn't too hot, though...I have some kind of combo amp that's not loud enough to be heard over a band with guitars (I can't remember the model OR manufacturer right now!), and I have an Ibanez BTB 405q bass. I'd really like to get a bass that I can actually slap on, though, and I'd be interested in getting a fretless some day.

Hey. I just started playing bass. The first riff I learnt was Master's Apprentices. I have a Yamaha RBX 250. It is made of wood.
