Being what appears to be one of only a few bassplayers that use this board, I wanted to post my holiday greetings here, HAPPY TURKEY DAY to all of my four string brethren and your loved ones. [img]/images/graemlins/toast.gif[/img]

Re: Joyous Overeating and Football Day
Ouch! I usually have a bass around. Not now though, I traded it in for a strat I wanted. I used to play bass quite a bit. No pick in these hands. I studied classical guitar in college and it helped my bass playing a lot.

Of course, they'll never get my bass away from me either [img]/images/graemlins/laugh.gif[/img]
And I use a pick very often on bass as well - because I CAN [img]/images/graemlins/laugh.gif[/img]

Re: Joyous Overeating and Football Day
sorry jazzman, i use my fingers most of the time but i started out with a pick. big ass fender heavy triangles,(first band was thrash). i can see where the classical training would help left and right hand technique. do you and newc, really want to play guitar instead of bass? lol [img]/images/graemlins/poke.gif[/img]The Truth Hurts Only If It's Supposed To !

Re: Joyous Overeating and Football Day
If I could find a 6-string bass that didn't look like a deformed tooth or one of those wacky squashes, I'd probably switch to bass, but play it like a guitar [img]/images/graemlins/laugh.gif[/img]
