    its really cool, i had my first lesson yesterday, my teacher's awesome, he actually has heard of bert janch!

    and i was riding the bus with it, and i had two people ask me to join their band, i guess there's no bass players in phoenix or something.

    Do you feel left out? ;)

    No, but that isn't true, I'm selective. You have to... pay me some attention every now and then, and... have a pulse. ;)

    You took up the bass... but can you take it up the bass?
    I don't know what that means,
    I'm sorry.
    I took up an 8.2lb. bass once... big as a turkey the bastard nearly bit my thumb off. So I ate it.

    My friend's dad was once a bassist in a band called "The Tiger's of Pantang" back in the 80's. For his AS results his dad bought him a bass, a car, a laptop and a PC, lucky bastard.


    Anyway, point is, bass rules, I'd never played one until a few days ago, the strings are humongous (to my guitary fingers anyway). I love a good "bass-growl" and funk bass lines.... goddamn. Listen to Jurassic 5 for some really funky basslines.

    Anyone out there own (or have friends who own) a bass and a wah-wah pedal? Hook them up together, you get some funkin' sounds. :)
