He also quite likes bass's without tone nobs....hes also partial to nob in the buttox

we could have had this convo on msn haha mint

lol, i prefer basses to have a real, bassy beefy sound to em do you know what i mean like innit like proper...

I like Bass' to be played with a Pick...and not fingering bass cos does anyone else think that sounds fucked up? haha probably not heehee...but yeah Pick + Bass = Orgasm

I like fingered bass if I'm honest. But I've not messed around enough o get the right tone since my good bass died. I'll play either fingered/pick, just lik eteh warmth of the sound from finger bass.

But when you go, im going to finger this part...it kills me, do you really want my death on your conscience?

ouch =/

If I'm honest, I'm not too bothered. Be a good way to die. Laugh to death.

But yeah I dig Fender tone, possibly the best. Warwicks have evil tone but look like a dog just shitted em out.

So yeah Fender's the best if you ask me

I plas Bass with a Pick, i think it sounds abit gay with fingers lol, i just dont dig the tone without a pick

Remember the Warwick that looked like a cock at the end you should buy it and let me give it a Japs Ey

bass with tfingers has way more tone im my opinion, you get this little noises of you plucking

I vary between songs. If its a heavy song I use a pick, but if its a slower song I use fingers. Only been using a pick for a year but used fingers for 4

anyway about basses, i have an ibanez gsr which is pretty much a good end practice model that i got 2nd hand about 5 years ago, was my first instrument. the nobs on it are all loose and i have to tape the strap on cos despite me re drilling loads the strap holders keep falling off. despite that it can get quite a nice tone, only problem is its started popping when i play it hard (which i thinks essential with bass) or if i slap (which i dont really do that much cos its kinda something that a lot of people do to show off and doesnt suit the songs)

i used to have a thunderbird but had to sell it cos i had no monies and i had no food.

so i really want to buy a better bass, being playing ages and not really treated myself. was thinking id sell my leopard print flying v kinda thing for £150 if anyones interested. im also selling vinyls and need a job!

I've got 2 basses, an Epiphone Thunderbird and a Burns Bison. They both sound great, and the Bison has some very interesting knobs, including settings for "Split sound" and "Wild dog". I've never played bass with a pick, it seems wrong. Playing with my fingers makes me feel more connected to the instrument.

i find string skipping difficult with fingers, but its easier to do more techniques like popping and shit

Not really good at using a pick, so I just prefer to use fingers, but most people tell me that pick sounds better :s

I disagree myself. I suppose I prefer fingered because that's how i learned to "play" so.

methinks fingers are meant for basses lol

ugh sounds creepy

See cheif agrees fingering bass' sounds strange.....god i was going to put some awful here good job i stopped myself

lol howd u get that, i agree with fingering basses....

from the 'ugh sounds creepy' bit


i thought you ment fingering bass sounded creepy.

nah lol xDDD the way i phrased it sounded creepy

its all bout Bob6 my prized no named precision styled bass sounds sexy pic'd

but i also boot a epiphone thunderbird courtesy of pias, some unknown model stagg which is better fingered and a epiphone eb-01 which never sees the light of day

omce more why is no-one being dirty...i know for a fact that most of you are dirty minded
your just all keeping it inside...

music terms are just dirty

ill give you £50 for the EB?
