Bass Discussion Thread

[fletchdude]

If you play bass, or have been thinking about playing bass, then this is the thread for you!

I am a enthusiastic bass player and have been playing for two years, mastering in slap.

I also own a Black Ibanez P900812

Imagine this only not in his hands:

That picture is not of me, but my stepfather, who played that bass in a metal band before converting to Christianity and giving it to me. (lucky me)

Anyway, post what you have and what you think.
Also, if you have any good practicing songs, that would be great, I've run dry.

yeah but it makes it hard to pick, because the pickups are always getting in your way.

But you get used to it.

[Triumph Forks]

Yeah. I need to get back into pick-bass, actually.

Scratch up my finish so I look like a badass when I play

You know you could've used the guitar discussion thread for this, since, you know, it's a bass [I]guitar.[/I]

Yeah I could've, but I felt like this needed a new thread, since after all they have the drums discussion thread, and the guitar discussion thread, but, to make it complete, they needed this thread.

Shortly after making this I noticed that they had a thread titled "Bass players unite" and figured that this could be considered copying...

I play bass (sort of, I haven't touched it in a while), it's an Ibanez RBX270

I recently aquired a really nice bass (i'm usually a guitar player but I'm so epiclly skilled I can play bass too) :P

Fretless, really old and there are virtually no fret marks but its lovely.

Are you one of those guitarist that act like "I can play guitar so I must be able to play bass well"

Nope, I actually can play, although I haven't had lessons.
