please don't rag on my playing

how's my tone?

should it be more treble-y?

thanks

It's all a matter of preference, but I like it, thats the Musicman tone I hear in my head when think of it. I'm not a big fan of trebly bass sounds, but punch yes. Like Jack says "if I wanted treble, I'd play cymbals !"

Sounds pretty good. Recorded at fairly low volume? If so, that's why it's a bit noisy (fingers, frets, etc), so turn it up a little next time if that's the case.

You're young and good. I hate you.

But hey..... I bet he doesn't make ONE HUNDRED DOLLARS on average each time he plays in front of 20 people for 4 hours like I do.

haha that's good money.

i'm mostly a jazz double bass player..locally around here i get about $100 too on average per gig. restaurant gigs pay a lot of money =)

my bass-guitar needs some work though, i'm not as comfortable on it as i am on the double bass

Geddy Lee only got $10 for doing "Take Off" on the Great White North album with Bob & Doug McKenzie, so $100 is pretty good.

Nice chops... I need to be a bit more "funky"...

That sounded really good, love the tone, and funky basslines are the way forward you write that yourself?

LOVE the tone! Also, love the riff at 1:20. If that had flats on it, it would be heaven.

Sounds good. Sounds like you're using the parallel setting and what brand strings are you using?

Like the tone. Now let us know what you setup is.

That is in Canadian money. In the US we would have to make $2,000. just to equal your exchange rate anymore thanks to our government.
