[quote name='silverfoxnik' post='324435' date='Nov 7 2008, 07:33 PM']Hi Folks,
It's been a busy week (as per usual) and sometimes when it all gets too stressful, the first thing I think of when going home that I know will chill me out is picking up a bass and having a noodle around for half an hour!
But it doesn't usually pan out that way because the first thing that happens when I walk through the door is kids/family mayhem etc, etc, and quite rightly so as they come first. Which means I tend to skulk around much later on practicing the bass with the headphones on, which is never quite the same thing.
Is it just me with this scenario or does this sound all too familiar to anyone else??

I could very well write that my self.
My advantages are that I don't have a Bass amp right now ( I been playing on my Valvestite, something that survived my one destruction rampage few months back) and the combination of that amp with my headphones makes it sound awesome, so I don't mind playing with headphones. Mad init?
My other advantage is that I can pick up a bass line from a song and play it within only a couple of tries, so if I don't feel creative I can rely on that, and the satisfaction factor is awesome, so I do relax my self, the only problem is that sometimes I get too excited, lol, so instead of relaxing I get all excited and I want to play loud, witch brings frustration to the equation.
Playing “shoot 'em up” games on multiplayer is less frustrating, LOL.
