Well, do You think Fender will be ready for that ?

Does Felix allready have a sun? The 12th string bass is waiting !

Well, as i promised earlier, i checked wikip. about him and understood that he is a great slapper. As i don't like slap, i am not interested in knowing Mark King in you tube and i know now why i didn't heard of him before. The only thing that i can't understand is why he didn't gig in Latvia in his careara ?

Hmm....interesting, if You say so. Where does he live ?

Don't worry, when i will get back from the work, i will check out in you tube !

Never heard of Mark King, is he really good?

Sorry, i don't recognize him !

Hmm.....name anyone who would like and can play like Jaco ?

Yeah, as Pastorius once said - "I only need 4 strings".

Six stringers are for big handed guys. I like 5 more and have quite small hands. Of course - 6 strings gives You more advantage.

If the band members are ok, tell them the situation and get back only when You are good.

Yeah....very gently!

I think the mistake i made was playing donna lee, without asking them - what exactly do you want me to play, a bass solo or just a funky groove. Maybe drums can joine me ? That would be right, i think!

Looks like You have found Your goal, greetings !

Stinky poo happens

Well maybe they didn't knew the song, but at least guitarist should saw that there is everything ok with my technique and ask for some jam or quickly told me the chords from one of their own songs to see the otherside.

Sorry,I don't know what ''satire'' means, but if it means - joke, then, no. This boogy happened for real. So every one who playes bass and have the situation where i was - don't play "Donna Lee, Teen town, Mr.Pastorius or something like that". It can end up bad.

I think it can be said like "overplaying", seems that they thought i will always play only solo in all their songs everytime. They even didn't want to jam with me on 4 chords to see what will happen !

Few years ago, i was bandless for a wile, then i got an inivitation in face book if i am interested to join the band (pop rock). I went to rehearsal and was told that they where allready searching for me and heard me playing also. Then they said, "ok, let's see what can You do, play something alone, we will listen". I said "ok", thought some seconds and played to them "Donna Lee", in a good speed. When i ended, the leader - vocalist automaticaly said - "sorry, we don't need You". It all just took about 5 minutes. Nothing for me to do, i just packed my bag and went home. Nice story, isn't it ?

If You bought it recently and want to know about the strings, why don't You contact the seller and ask him ?

Then - if You got the money, You buy it - what and when You have time.

There is no A or Z. You choose what and when !

Strange things happen before and afternoon. 100km per hour and everything will be fine.

What's Your point on - playing fretless another way ? He plays it well, like others would - lower notes without vibrato, solo and higher with lot's of it. That is the way I play my fretless and i think others do.

I also hate that word ''hobby'', but sadly when someone asks me - ''what's Your hobby?'' - there is nothing else i can quickly answer "bass guitar"! I hate that situation. Bass guitar is always in my head. I know that i play it and feel it with much, much love and when i do it - I feel my heartbeats real ! So, everybody who knows what instrument is Yours, feel it, keep it, know it and don't waste Your time on video games or whatever......
