Guitar play's in bass and trebble :keke: [QUOTE=ORGLAR;18540304]I own a Squier Precision Bass. Uhm, I apologize if this is a box-worthy question, but how does one become "better" at playing Bass?

So anyone here Know how to Slap? And are you any good?
I can slap fairly well. Nothing like Claypool or whoever the big slap-bass idol is these days, but I do good.
I like Drum and Bass duos, I wish more bands were like that.
My setup [MEDIA]http://img3.musiciansfriend.com/dbase/pics/products/3/8/1/567381.jpg[/MEDIA] [MEDIA]http://img3.musiciansfriend.com/dbase/pics/products/7/7/6/580776.jpg[/MEDIA] The whole thing only cost $600. I've played bass guitar for two years, done several gigs with this. Both the bass and the amp are amazing, I know people who have spent twice this much on a bass alone that doesn't sound nearly as well as this.
What do you guys think of the Fender Rumble 100w?

[QUOTE=Funcoot;18481222]If there are enough of us. :v: But yeah, pretty much anything. Yes, that is a famous violin solo being played on a tuba.
