Dumbass...





So I guess I will...
I play lead guitar in my band. But I also moonlight playing bass in a country rock tribute band.
I use a Godin 5 string into a Gallen Kruger 200 watt combo.(For the money of course)


That is all... ;)

You're right...I don't play as shitty as you, Bamboo Boy! A belated thanks to MAX (RIP) for telling me exactly who you are. I would have otherwise gone through life thinking you were originally the big touring rock star you claimed to be when you first came on this board. :biggrin:

[jhale667]

Have you even heard him? I have, and betting he can outplay you, Brie... so get the F over yourself.

Hey man, that Yamaha you were using, was that essentially the same body type as the one Mike A used?

[Nitro Express]

I'm a bass player. I play a Spector for the pop and slap stuff and a Jack Casady Signature for that more traditional smooth to fuzz tone. I play mostly finger style because I'm also a guitar player and playing a bass with a pick fucks up my picking on the guitar because I get used to the bass bridge string spacing. If I play bass with my fingers it doesn't mess my guitar playing up. I have found playing bass makes you a better guitar player.

[Nitro Express]

I played a Yamaha at a music store and really liked it. I like the tone they get too. I always dug the bass tone Tony Kanal got on those No Doubt songs.

[Hardrock69]

I play guitar wif de pick, and bass wif de fingers.

Just always felt normal to play bass with fingers.

[Yount]

Everybody's a bass player!

I'm a real shitty one, nice and simple E-E-E-E-E-E-E-E-with the deviiiiiil.

But I like fingers, although I suspect you may get more speed with a pick - because you can play down and up. Sheehan is fingers isn't he?

What's the diff?

Even with guitar I get lazy and just use my fingers... cos I'm always misplacin' the darn pick!

[Nitro Express]

I can get some fast trills on a bass with my fingers. With a pick you get a click sound on a bass I don't like. To get some sounds you just have to have a pick though.

For example. To get the bass effect on Frank Zappa's "He's So Gay" you need a pick. You can't get that sound with your fingers.

[Nitro Express]

I play a lot of percussive, melodic base lines using fast finger trills. Much like this solo at 3:00. You can't play this with a pick.

[Nitro Express]

And then no picks in pop and slap. I can relate to this. If the drummer and me start a pop and slap groove we can't stop. It drives the rest of the band nuts. It's addicting.

Shout out to Sid Vicious! :biggrin:
