2004-12-05 [everybody gets high everybody gets low]: hahahaha.... ook then... i'll talk right now.. i'll spell every word out so that no words will look funny

2004-12-17 [Pyro Mac]: im getting a nice one soon

2004-12-18 [Squirrelywrath]: A nice what? Bass?

2004-12-20 [Pyro Mac]: yeah

2004-12-20 [Squirrelywrath]: Ah, that's a good little starter set. Fretboard on the bass is nice, good amount of frets. Amp is lacking in controls, but that can be fixed with a pre-amp. Cable looks to be around 15-20 feet maybe, good length. Definately a good place to start

2004-12-21 [Pyro Mac]: ood...at least i got a good opionion...i love playing...but im a beginer and it will take me a wile to learn

2004-12-30 [everybody gets high everybody gets low]: im still learning....>.>........<.<...........

2004-12-30 [Squirrelywrath]: Yea, I am too, most people are. You never really stop learning.

2005-01-01 [everybody gets high everybody gets low]: well I think that I can... Sometimes I feel like I can't learn any more in school, and everything that I'm supposed to learn that day, just goes right through me... I don't even remember anything! lol.... oh well

2005-01-01 [Squirrelywrath]: haha I mean you never really stop learning things on the bass! I know what you mean in school. I breeze through my classes every day. I know all the stuff they try to teach me.

2005-01-02 [everybody gets high everybody gets low]: lol... yea... I learned how to do those chime things like.. last month... and I still dont know what you call them... Ill just call them chime notes.. if thats right? lol i dunno

2005-01-02 [Squirrelywrath]: Harmonics?

2005-01-05 [everybody gets high everybody gets low]: i think thats it.... probably

2005-01-06 [PixieStickChick]: hello everyone ^_^

2005-01-06 [Squirrelywrath]: Hey!

2005-01-06 [dangerous-object]: hi, i'm teaching myself bass, i've stolen my bf's bass, but it's right handed and i'm left handed, but i've learnt to play right handed, and the guitar too and i've forgotten how to play left handed! so i rule at bass right handedly!

2005-01-06 [Squirrelywrath]: Good for you! Bass is a great instrument to play if you want to get a literal feel for the music ^^ I shatter glass with my E string

2005-01-07 [PixieStickChick]: I'm gonna get a bass in like the next month. Any tips? ^_^

2005-01-07 [Squirrelywrath]: Um. . make sure to get the intunation(sp) set. It's how high the strings are from the fretboard, if they're too low, you get fret buzz. Uhhh. . You might want to change the strings when you get it, because there's no knowing how long they would have been on there. . Um. . that's all I have right now

2005-01-08 [PixieStickChick]: ok, I have no clue what that means but I guess I'll just ask for help when I go to buy it

2005-01-08 [Squirrelywrath]: I told you what it means, it's how high the strings are from the fretboard. The fretboard is where your fingers go when you play stuff.

2005-01-08 [PixieStickChick]: oh ok! *feels stupid again* lol

2005-01-09 [Squirrelywrath]: ^^ It's all part of learning

2005-01-10 [Pyro Mac]: I got my bass...it is so cool...its kinda heavy but ohwell...ill get used to it...lol

2005-01-10 [Squirrelywrath]: Well, basses tend to be heavy ^^ But yea, it's easy to get used to. It feels weird when you pick up a light guitar afterwards ^^

2005-01-11 [2000HRS]: My bass is light actually. It's a 5-string bass. I love it cause it's easy on the neck. Anyone know Stu Hamm?

2005-01-11 [Pyro Mac]: mine is black but you can see the wood tgrew the clear coat and it red...its awesome...and yes i got used to it...my frend wanted to play it so he handed me his guitar and it fel so weird...it was lighter and more compact...i like my bass better

2005-01-11 [kaitlyn marie]: i play the bass... i kind of suck. it's a silvertone, i'm getting a flying V as soon as i'm not a cheap idiot. i'm not that good. i can read music and tabs, but i don't like tabs. i'm having a hard time remembering all of the notes and where they are on the neck of the bass... i know i'm a dork.

2005-01-12 [2000HRS]: Dude.. tabs are the easiest way to play someone else's song.. well except the timing.. and it sucks more for a bassist when it comes to timing. Flying V? Hmm.. today I went to Guitar Store and played this one Ibenaz 5-string (not K-5) and some Warwick 5-string bass.. and I realized how fucked up my bass is lol.

2005-01-15 [kaitlyn marie]: yep

2005-01-15 [2000HRS]: You know the hardest thing? Playing some KoRn songs and singing at the same time..

2005-01-15 [kaitlyn marie]: i'm not that multitalented...

2005-01-15 [2000HRS]: i'm a vocal... or atleast I can sing.... and i've been playing bass for bout 2 months now.. i tried doing that thing.. and it was really really hard. It sucks worst since fieldy from korn sometimes play random stuffs that don't go along with the songs.

2005-01-15 [kaitlyn marie]: well. i've been playing for 3 months and now, my friend wants me to play in a band, only singing because he plays bass and he things he's so great

2005-01-15 [2000HRS]: God.. I hate people who think they're soo great. Seriously.. One of my friend plays drum... and he hits it soo hard and think that's cool.. I mean that's good but you don't need to hit so fucking hard all the time to make yourself a good drummer. Plus, he shows off like hell.. and he can't play his own thing but someone else's songs.

2005-01-16 [kaitlyn marie]: yep. sounds like tyler, only with the bass. he stole my friends with it and they didn't even like him until he taught this chik some greenday, and the only reason he knows it is because he studied it for 3 hours to show off cuz he likes her. i hate that about people... damn it. be who you are, not who someone wants you to be

2005-01-17 [2000HRS]: If I want to show up I'll be in the a football player. Oh well, people and their behaviors will never change. Plus, greenday shits are fucking easy man... no offense to any of you but I don't like punk bass riffs.. easy and they're only played in like 4 frets for the whole 3 minute song. And they'll be acting like it was some hard ass riff. 

2005-01-17 [kaitlyn marie]: the used 'taste of ink' is hard(er)-ish then most punk tabs, it's only becasuse it's hard to get the timing and the verse and chorus is different every time... it takes a while for it to sound decent... but, yea, you do have to play something metal to get a decent challenge when it comes down to it all

2005-01-17 [2000HRS]: Hmm.. I know that bass is a easy when you look at the tabs but it's hard when you're keeping up with the beats. But if you wanna see a difficult tabs.. look at Red Hot Chili Pepper's, Primus's, some of KoRn's with fiedly slaps and shits, and of course.. of all STU HAMM. He's the king of the bass.

2005-01-18 [Squirrelywrath]: Any bass line can be hard or easy depending on your skill level. It's all a matter of perspective.

2005-01-18 [Mr. Giggles]: basses are kickasS

2005-01-18 [kaitlyn marie]: that's true. it depends on the song, the pace and your skill level. it's all about the music either way

2005-01-20 [2000HRS]: that was random [Mr. Giggles]. That's true.. and i think the bass riffs depends on the person who made it.. well yeah some of them can be easy but sound really kick ass. But for some reason, the harder bass riffs sound the best, in my opinion.

2005-01-21 [everybody gets high everybody gets low]: Random Statement #2..[Mr. Giggles] said the first one.................Banana!!

2005-01-24 [kaitlyn marie]: yea.

2005-01-25 [2000HRS]: That seemed annoying to me....

2005-01-26 [Anariel Greenleaf]: The TUBA FUckin ROCKS MAn! WoOt!

2005-01-27 [Pontius Pilate]: I play trombone, which follows the bass clef, does that count?

2005-01-28 [2000HRS]: I don't know what a trombone is... sorry.

2005-01-28 [punkrocker101]: I need a life

2005-01-28 [Anariel Greenleaf]: Yeah, I guess you're in...*snarls at the trumpet players*...Low brass kicks butt!! *whips out tuba and plays a bouncy pokla* Tee hee

2005-01-28 [everybody gets high everybody gets low]: why are we talking about low brass players?!? lol this isnt band @ wiki or something like that!!! lol

2005-01-29 [Anariel Greenleaf]: but it's BRASS players united! dur!

2005-01-29 [2000HRS]: lol it's BASS players united.

2005-01-29 [Anariel Greenleaf]: uh?....oops...*giggles*...I'm not blonde...I swear

2005-01-30 [everybody gets high everybody gets low]: omg.. when u said that its brass players united... i had to re-check the name... lol  i think that youre blonde... or else a crack head.. jk jk

2005-01-30 [kaitlyn marie]: brass players united... wow. that's really random...^.0... i guess bass and brass look alike, but if you're only really reading about people who play the bass, it might make you wonder... right?

2005-02-03 [The Coffee-Prophet]: hiya everyone!

2005-02-03 [Squirrelywrath]: Hey

2005-02-04 [2000HRS]: hey.

2005-02-11 [cagedreptile]: this guy is amazing! check out his slap bass solo <http://www.activebass.com/mp3/OlhosColoridos.mp3>

2005-02-12 [2000HRS]: dudes... I found a good bassist for my band. He slaps crazy.. and he's a really good player. The sad part is he'll play with us for Battle of The Bands.. but he's still "exploring the bands".

2005-02-15 [cavegirl]: any suggestions on which bass is resonably cheap but good quality? iv been recomend a fender

2005-02-15 [2000HRS]: umm.. try to look for fender squire basses.. but if u want cheap and good.. look for peavey or ibanez.. i personally like ibanez..

2005-02-15 [cavegirl]: K cool, thanks!

2005-04-23 [Froya]: Stagg BC300 'eh? Jealousy has struck. How much did ya pay?

2005-04-23 [Froya]: Is it a BC300 NS or just a BC300? Because I checked it out online and the BC300 NS natural colour fucking kicks ass..

2005-04-23 [Yhkamc Tacanja Du Tea]: Just a BC300..... Twas £110 ^^

2005-04-24 [2000HRS]: compare Stagg BC300 with Warwick basses... which one's better?

2005-04-24 [Froya]: I'm a fan of warwick.

2005-04-25 [2000HRS]: I love Ibanez bass... warwick is alright but I don't like Warwick's fret actions for some reason.. love the warwick fretless one though.

2005-04-25 [Froya]: I myself have an Ibanez GSR 200..red stain.. I love the thing so much.

2005-04-25 [2000HRS]: sweet.... my old bassist had that bass. It kicks ass man.

2005-04-25 [Froya]: hell yeah. =))

2005-04-25 [2000HRS]: i got a squire MB5... it's a 5-string but kinda muddy...

2005-04-25 [Froya]: My bass isn't grounded right. buzzes somthing horrible unless I have my hand on something metal. o.-;

2005-04-25 [YourAdHere]: i just had to get mine repaired. the french guy said it was like put together wrong and well you couldt play an open note or it would buzz also. i could play only frets 11 and above or it would buzz and it was quite annoying.

2005-04-25 [Froya]: Damn, thats worse than mine.

2005-04-25 [Take Away This Travesty]: that dud who's playing the guitar and all it's black and white yeah who is it..cause it looks like ryan from mudvayne and yeah kinda curious

2005-04-25 [2000HRS]: I don't know what you're talking... anyways.. wow.. It seems to me that my bass is alot better than yours basses lol. And I only paid $200 for my bass.

2005-04-25 [everybody gets high everybody gets low]: Stop bragging...

2005-04-25 [2000HRS]: hehe

2005-04-26 [Froya]: I paid less than $200. $198 I believe.but my bass has a great sound...if when you're not playing you keep your hand on metal. '>.>

2005-04-26 [2000HRS]: Well I rounded it to $200.. but it was more like $189.99. But hey we both got okay basses.

2005-04-26 [Froya]: True. Pretty good deals too.

2005-04-26 [Yhkamc Tacanja Du Tea]: ^^; Is it not how much we like our basses for them to be better than others rather than their make? :)

2005-04-26 [Squirrelywrath]: True true
