1.steve harris- the man who got me interested in the bass 2.duff mckaggen-always loved that chorus ladden tone and back when i was 12 looked cool as hell 3.cliff burton-dude was mesmerising how he could shred on a bass 4.geddy lee-could never play his bass lines let alone sing as well 5.john myung-guy plays with such a finesse very underated

just like to say after years of haveing cheaper basses ie ibanez gsr ect i today bought my first fender precision olympic white body rosewood neck im as excited as oliver reed getting locked in a boozer just thought i would share my child like glee

even though i got jm as my avatar im not im not jealous at all got my tickets for wembley saw them in wolvehampton they was epic hope the meet and greet is as awesome as it sounds jamie

32 yr old bassist looking for metal bands tons of influences have contacts at metal hammer and terrorizer so some decent supporting slots await cheers jamie

yeah it came with some batt i have never heard of so was changing it toa new duracell one when i tried it without

cheers thought there was something wrong with it but alas no its just me being a complete dick

i know this is gonna sound stupid as hell i have just bought an ibanez sr300 my first bass with active electronics obviously it have the battery in the back which i took out to change earlier but i didnt get no sound from my bass my ? is do i need the battery in to achieve sound i thought i would still be able to get sound without the battery in even of a weaker signal thanks jamie

hands healed ages ago thought could have give it a shot

didnt fancy letting me try out then......oh well

after having to stop playing myself because of surgery thats great news well done

out of 6 six learn/write bass parts for i have got 2 down 100% even wthout looking at the tabs i have written give me a little glimmer of confidence

its all originals.he has recorded bass on the demos but has said for me to come up with my own stuff (he must be mad)

yeah thats whats been getting me i pick up the song enough its just the nuances wierd time changes ect

hi guys have just started playing again after a year off through hand injury and have just started a project with a guy. he has wrote all the music and has sent me the songs to learn and wants me to record my parts as soon as possible. i was just wondering how long it takes you guys to learn a song from scratches wth no tabs,chords or whatever thanks jamie

if their rough to rub your finger along their most prob roundwounds if their smooth they are most prob flatwounds theres tons of string companys id say either ernie ball or d'adarrio is a good place to start

i have been playing for a few years on off but have just started playing after having an operation on my picking hand. i have always struggled maybe it is im pushing down to hard i play a lot of rock and metal and some time i really do dig in.maybe i should start watching john myung more closely that guy is so smooth makes me look like lemmys demented love child
