    I predict this will be quite tame compared to the rest of this thread but here you go anyway:

    Our scene opens on a person with a bass guitar, practicing some sick slap bass perched upon an IKEA office chair. The player is lost in the zone, all mental facilities put to work making every strike with the thumb is accurate and powerful, and every pop of the fingers sends the strings into the fretboard with a gorgeous thwack! The sound is heavenly, a deep, rich, cutting tone- full of appropriate levels of CLANK and SNAP. The short riff being performed to a concert of no-one reaches its magnificent height, a slammingly heavy riff sounding like a funky machine gun, the bassists hands become a blur, the strings vibrate with precision and power, a glorious cacophony of ma-

    kkrrmp.

    Oh crap, I broke a string

    If your going to get a guitar with built in effects, I would also look into getting a keyboard amp. Your guitar will have digital cabinets built in, which sound horrible when played through a guitar amp.

    When using the built in cabinets, your guitar will process the sound of a guitar speaker onto the signal from the guitar. Guitars are designed to be listened through guitar speakers, so they sound weird without them. The inverse is also bad. if you process your guitar signal with a guitar speaker then send it into a guitar amplifier with a guitar speaker, you double dip with the sound of the speaker and you get the opposite but equally worse problem.

    If you want to play amplified with all the effects you have, then you'll need a keyboard amp. The speaker in a keyboard amp is designed to not affect the sound, which will let you use the guitars speaker simulations without double dipping with effects.

    You could also just turn the speaker sim off, which is far easier.

    Sincerely, someone who couldn't figure out why their guitar sounded horrible for a week.

    I play bass in a few bands, rhythm is tough but learnable. Easiest way to get good timing fast is:

    1. Listen to the music you want to play first. If you only have the sheet music, Musescore is a fantastic software to hear sheet music.
    2. Keeping the rhythm that your heard in mind, play what you want to play. Once you get it, it will feel right. If not, play the music VERY slowly, slow enough that you can do it quite easily. Set a metronome to this slow speed, then increase the BPM by 5. Find your limit, back off the BPM slightly, then practice at that speed until you can nail it.
    3. I cannot stress this enough, record your playing! Knowing how you sound is so so so helpful, it lets you hear what your playing without the distraction of actually playing. Super helpful to see exactly how and where your out of time.

    Yamaha TRBX- Cut price 305 or full price 505?

    Hello! I'm looking to get my first 5 string and I have narrowed it down to the Yamaha TRBX. There is a used 305 for sale for £330 near me and there is a new 505 for sale for £530. Are the extra features worth the £200?

    What pick size do you play?

    Just curious on what you prefer. I've never really settled myself, but I've never tried anything thinner than a 1mm. I would like to try something thinner because 1mms dont feel like they bend enough for me.
