Connor Posted November 22, 2007 Share Posted November 22, 2007 Do you play guitar or bass, wanna talk about techniches or gear? here is the place.. I play guitar and bass, I have a Shine Stratocaster electric guitar and a Yamaha RBX 270j bass, but soon I'm getting an Ibanez SAS36FM electric guitar. I'm really having a hard time trying to do pinch harmonics, anyone know any video tutorials? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slayer Posted November 24, 2007 Share Posted November 24, 2007 Meh, I only have an acoustic guitar...When I build up some skillz the electric one will be on it's way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thomas. Posted November 24, 2007 Share Posted November 24, 2007 I play the Bass Guitar. I'm not to keen on Acoustic Guitars. Besides my little sisters has the Acoustic Guitar and I have the Bass Guitar. Seems kind of fair except I got the more expensive thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Connor Posted November 24, 2007 Author Share Posted November 24, 2007 I love my bass, I just figured out how to play slap.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tilly Posted November 24, 2007 Share Posted November 24, 2007 guitar ftw. ive been playing for five years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spaz The Great Posted November 24, 2007 Share Posted November 24, 2007 Bass is commonly mislabeled as the "boring" guitar. Quite frankly, I find it cooler than guitar. I love slap bass. I think people like Les Claypool, Jean Baudin, Flea, etc. are fucking geniuses. Funk metal FTW. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Connor Posted November 24, 2007 Author Share Posted November 24, 2007 I agree Spaz, bass is actually much more fun than the guitar, go find a video of Victor Wooten on YouTube, you can see why.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tilly Posted November 24, 2007 Share Posted November 24, 2007 neither are more fun than eachother... way to suck. if you play bass, its alot easier to get into bands because the demand is high and the skill level needed usually isnt that high. guitar, its the other way around. there are way to many crappy guitarists and even good ones, so its hard to get into a band even if your good.

Connor Posted November 24, 2007 Author Share Posted November 24, 2007 What are you bullshitting about skill level? You still have to be very good at bass to be accepted into a good band.. IMO, I don't think you know what you're talking about.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tilly Posted November 24, 2007 Share Posted November 24, 2007 imo ive played in many bands, and they seem to always accept any bass player possible, and will only maybe take a pretty good guitarist. besides dream theater (bassist wanted to take a break) what bassist has ever been kicked out of a band?

Connor Posted November 24, 2007 Author Share Posted November 24, 2007 Well, then your bands must of been very desperate.. Ah, I found a bass player who got kicked out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tilly Posted November 24, 2007 Share Posted November 24, 2007 well i guess you win at that, but i really meant small bands. good bass players are hard to find. thats why the world lacks bass solos. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gerard Posted November 25, 2007 Share Posted November 25, 2007 I've been playing bass for a while now, but i started off as a drummer. I find that bass tends to be underestimated and unnoticed by people until they meet a shit bassist (and notice the difference to a good one) or if they sit and listen to an amazing bass riff.

Connor Posted November 25, 2007 Author Share Posted November 25, 2007 Here's an amazing bass solo, Victor Wooten.. I just got my Ibanez SAS36FM today, I've been playing it today, but I've put it away till christmas now.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gerard Posted November 26, 2007 Share Posted November 26, 2007 That Ibanez is gorgeous - I've been looking at the RG 321, but am just a bit wary of the build quality (this one is Malaysian). You can't been Wooten for a bass solo, but most of the stuff he does is too percussive for me, barely any tone in it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Akuma Posted November 26, 2007 Share Posted November 26, 2007 I just got my Ibanez SAS36FM today, I've been playing it today, but I've put it away till christmas now.. Do want, that's amazing. My story is the same deal as Slayer's. And bass is awesome. If you listen to lots of rock, and strip the bass, it becomes absolutely horrible.

Connor Posted November 26, 2007 Author Share Posted November 26, 2007 (edited) It doesn't just look gorgeous, it sounds gorgeous too..As soon as I started playing, I was like, "Mmmmmm...", I nearly started crying when I had to put it away until Christmas.. That Ibanez is pretty nice, I think I saw that model in SoundControl when I was buying my Ibanez.. Cliff Burton was() a good bassist, pity he got crushed by a bus..Here's a compilation of solos from him, http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=6O9zMnwD65Q&...feature=related Edited November 26, 2007 by Connor Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slayer Posted November 27, 2007 Share Posted November 27, 2007 thats why the world lacks bass solos. Yeah, that's probably the problem with the popularity of bass. Bass is well used in styles like funk or altern rock, but when it comes to genres like hard rock or metal, the more brutal the less you hear the bass. There are even songs that don't have any bass at all. And in the end, imho guitar solos are waaaay more impressive than the bass ones. Most of the kids play guitar these days, looking at some bands in my school, people have more problem finding a vocal (and you don't need to know anything to sing) than finding a guitar player, while on the other hand there aren't almost any drummers/bass players so they're happy if they can find anyone, and really anyone.

MeL Posted November 29, 2007 Share Posted November 29, 2007 (edited) I have a Guitar but never really started to play yet Aperently its a pritty good one too cause it was my dads but he never played it and he thinks i should because its something you can do your whole life, but all i know is that is it an Ibanez.

rancid2007 Posted December 16, 2007 Share Posted December 16, 2007 Guitar all the way. I never understood what people see in the bass. Seriously! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sherman Posted December 16, 2007 Share Posted December 16, 2007 So much Ibanez talk in here, lol. My dad used to own one.. twice. The same one. Did have a custom Telecaster (which was really nice).. but now it's down to I think an 80's Japanese Strat and a mid 90's PRS. Beautiful guitars, I don't play them, though. Been meaning to pick up bass for a.. long time now, but unless I'm just handed one I doubt that'll happen. As you can tell.. old (MODSTICK!)

Thomas. Posted December 16, 2007 Share Posted December 16, 2007 I can describe my Bass Guitar but I don't have an actual Picture of it. Like I said I prefer Bass. My Bass Guitar is black and has a white area underneath the strings. It has a Volume Knob and a Bass Knob which are both Silver. The strings like any normal Bass Guitar are Silver and are metal. The top end of the Bass is Light Wood. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Connor Posted December 16, 2007 Author Share Posted December 16, 2007 Although guitar feels more complicated and cool to play, bass feels so much more fun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thomas. Posted December 16, 2007 Share Posted December 16, 2007 Bass Guitar and Guitar are as fun as each other in my opinion. Bass Guitars have Tabs and Electric Guitars have something I can't Remember. Bass Guitar is quite easy to learn but I guess its me that I find Guitar (Normal) hard to understand.
