Ive discovered having about 2 pints before i play, seriously increases my confidence (im not confident and i shake alot when i play) and i play alot better. Obviously if i had about 10 more it would be different. It was the last time.

why does it look hollow in places?

Warwick Catalogue. Being GAS free won't last long.

i tend to headbang a bit, and i do alot of bobbing up and down. stomping a bit like les claypool comes into it sometimes but more...extreme, i look a right buffoon.

this isn't funk, but the grooves in these are seriosuly tasty... oh and heres some funk:

These must have hefty price tags. Want.

I used to play in a VERY heavy death metal band with the same bass. I had no problem with the sound, infact i thought it was great. I then started using the Ibanez SRX300 which is very similar to the rbx, just a thinner neck and a higher output. I changed because i didnt like the feel of the yamaha, it simply didnt play fast enough. I think Ibanez would be the best way to go next, SRX or SR both are great fo that type of thing. Im back to yamaha now though, an older BB and TRB. I play in a stoner/doom band using drop c, and i use fairly heavy strings (55-110) and they make a huge difference. Just try a few things out.

Isn't particulary interesting, but when i first played with my sister (I looked up to her as a guitar player and my sis - never taught me anything, i just tried to do what she was doing) that was pretty cool. Playing in front of the whole school (a fair few years ago mind) filling in for someone, they asked me to learn bass for it, and i did, and we rocked, played sepultura's "Refuse/Resist". And another one would be playing in a local club with a comedy band, jammed packed and everyone loving it and dancing like 'tards

I used to love the guy, he is an amazing player but i just cant listen to the music anymore...unless it's Mr Pink!!

Are like all hunched over their instrument all the time and they dont even sing! Well neither do i but thats a different matter. I just think mark king and level 42 are excellent and easily my favourite band. Mark king is the reason i started bass playing my dad started because of mark king and all the other brit funk stuff that was around in the early ninetys and got himself a jaydee roadie in the early 1990s a 1980 model with two pickups and passive electronics in tobacco sunburst which he had finished in cherry red and activized if thats a word lol. He then got a series 1 brand new made for him and the roadie got put in the cupboard for a few years. In the meantime my dad bought me a precision bass special which i learnt on later which then got traded in for a jazz and then when i got better he gave me the jaydee and ive studied it hard ever since....love to dad! x[/quote] Christ! I can't read that without getting a stitch!
