1. Go to the Man-cave.
2. Pour one ounce of Talisker Single Malt. Neat.

i keep a small bottle of gin on the table in the studio.

usually enter room,look around,decide which instrument to play......tune,fire up PT,and off i go.........then slowly start hitting the gin........


with wobbly pop chasers......Guinness is nice.....

Several ways
1. Play my beautiful EBs
or
1. Go to the garage and make ammo (I find this very relaxing)
or
1. Play Call of Duty online (PS3 name SnWnMe if you want to add me to your list)
or
1. Go to the gym

If I am really feeling lazy I'll just light a cigar and enjoy with a smooth Merlot.

Watching a mindless film while noodling on a bass or guitar.
Reading The New Yorker. Yes, The New Yorker.

[MrMusashi]

Zuma.

haha.. for a moment i heard zumba

one of the most relaxing moments in life are when you are standing over the guitar bench, its only you and the instrument, your focus narrows down.. everything else disappears
now that is pure bliss

one of the most enjoyable moments is slouching on the couch, grappling the favorite bass of the moment and playing some funky stuff.

one of the most rewarding moments is when you nail that piece youve been working on and finally can start to speed it up.

i love all of those things

[Basswave]

A few different ways.

-Surfing (not web, but real...Anything longboard, shortboard, vintage...ect. Its invigorating yet calming at the same time) I's Big Poppa a surfer as well?

-Roasting coffee (the smell initially is not that great...but the process and post smell is second to none).

-Reading (Old school fantasy mostly, I'm geeky in that sense and its healthy outlet when your on the road).

-Bikram hot style yoga (Do it right and really stretch and it can feel like sex afterwards)

1. Go to the garage and make ammo (I find this very relaxing)

Talisker? I'm a Mcallen 18 man myself. How does it compare?

 

[iamcatwarrior]

1. Eat two packages of raspberries
2. Practice current band songs on any combination of basses (it helps keeps things fresh if I switch instruments from time to time)
3. Compose something, usually on my Bongo 6 HS (and sometimes while watching a ballgame)
4. Play the same new riffs again on different instruments
