It's a very expensive hobby

hahahaha.... i was talking to a friend and he said that it seems like... even though there are wayyyy fewer bassists than guitarists around... it seems like the amount of buy and trading bass players in SG do is crazy... haha... in fact i've seen a number of basses travel from one hand to another and to another.... hahahahaha....

Yes... expensive hobby it is... gotta eat grass this month cuz of that :lol:

And i got mad cow disease la dey.

To what Slapadelic said. its quite true la. But to me, bass gear is lesser in the market too, and more esoteric in a sense. Sometimes a good bass can pass though many hands before finding a happy owner. I myself let go of a fantastic G&L, currently owned by a good friend. The rabid 'traders' in the bass community are usually the same bunch of people la.

Anyway back to complaining about bass players...Feel free to kill each other, since its in the wrong forum

lemme show you around warren golf course, dude..

I think bass players are more concerned with how their instruments are built ... guitarists can always get the pedals to mod their sound ... we rarely use pedals ...

haha. face it, fellow masters of the low end. we get really bored playing the same line over and over again and there's this nagging temptation to start slapping and popping all over the place. heh. maybe not too much.. just little licks here and there. and if u aint gd enuff (like me =x) u find that little break inside to ur fill in, you MAY find that some of the feel is lost in the song.

our main job is to keep the groove man. sure it can be boring. but stop playing and see wad hapens. =p

if u wanna do crazy licks and interesting bass lines, think to yourself. will it justify the song you are playing? does it convey the mood and help enhance the song? or is it just some show off kinda thing?

nevertheless, it's important that bassists add some fill in of their own so as not to keep the song boring. but make sure ur priorities and intentions are right. AND ur up to that level. if you find that u get out of timing playing something else, don't do it.
