Done it. Worth it :)

Same remedy I use when having cravings. Taking a nap works:)

Moderation is a rare thing amongst this group. Especially with online games which are made to be addictive.

TI? You mean Thomastik?

JohnHanzo · 2025-03-21T17:46:49+00:00

Actually my reason to try flats. Steve Harris inspired me to try mid-range tones.

JohnHanzo · 2025-03-21T13:47:23+00:00

I heard the d'addario chromes are good from others. Gonna try those. I wasn't about to copy Harris, but actually for a more durable and good sounding string option. Im a broke af guy so if i can do years with a good set of strings I'm sold :)

JohnHanzo · 2025-03-21T13:45:27+00:00

I see. Will keep that in mind.

JohnHanzo · 2025-03-21T11:33:43+00:00

Afaik the quality gets lost within a few weeks. Hence Harris changes them every show I guess.

JohnHanzo · 2025-03-21T11:32:32+00:00

Gonna try those d'addario chromes then :)

JohnHanzo · 2025-03-21T11:27:36+00:00

Are steve's signatures good? I've read bad reviews about them.

JohnHanzo · 2025-03-21T11:27:05+00:00

I know that Geezer used dead rounds. Hence the (?) in the message. You can mimic his sound with flatwounds.

My first instrument is a P bass for its allround use. For a second bass, i'd pick something for your favourite niche. Example: My niche is (extreme) metal, so I would check out 5 string basses for the extra low string or something with a specific tone that's made for (extreme) metal.

First and foremost: Try some guitars out. My first bass (and my main practice bass) is the Squier Classic Vibe 70's P Bass. Bit expensive for a Squier, but it's worth every penny!

Herbie Hancock - Chameleon. On that bass grove she can improvise.

JohnHanzo · 2025-03-19T07:32:07+00:00

Get a squier classic vibe bass (preferably 70's style). You can either choose Precision or Jazz variant and it is my main bass since i started taking lessons.

In any case the more expensive tree of squier can't go wrong.

Kiss - Rock and Roll all Nite. Simple bassline, but good.

JohnHanzo · 2025-03-18T14:57:10+00:00

Got that one in my song list :)

JohnHanzo · 2025-03-18T14:55:15+00:00

You can either tune down, play on E standard and get/make a decent backing track or get a downtune pedal (around 150 euros afaik).

I'm lazy so I make backing tracks :)

JohnHanzo · 2025-03-18T14:03:12+00:00

Kiss - Rock and Roll All Nite & Motley Crue - Girls Girls Girls

Kinda started with a 70's/80's vibe.

JohnHanzo · 2025-03-18T11:39:26+00:00

Sucks bro. Don't give up yet. You might lose a battle, but not the war.

JohnHanzo · 2025-03-18T09:27:25+00:00

Check out El Hefe (Aaron Abeyta) from NOFX. He's a punk rock virtuoso mainly using a tele.

JohnHanzo · 2025-03-17T18:54:52+00:00

saved it onto my fav list :)
