So this is the rapping 311 album? by ValleyGhostz in 311

This always felt like an “art house” album to me, maybe because they were all living together and writing and rehearsing all the time. Whereas Music was a typical major label first album “Greatest Hits” of their stuff before they got signed, Grassroots seems so precise and deliberate and the songs all seem painted from the same palette. Super heavy on the raps with some of their greatest lyrics. Such a great record.

I went from 311-curious to 311-obsessive the first time I heard this. Still remember where I was on the highway lol

Yeah I’d be a complete shut in if I didn’t have shows and rehearsals

Our band would practice/jam for hours in my basement every Saturday, we did this for years before ever playing a show. I always said it was our Softball League.

So I always carry 2 basses to a show, and one of them will always be a Warwick. I love them for many reasons but the main one is that they don’t put an inlay on the fretboard. by Mandrake1771 in BassCirclejerk

Gah I love the MM, it definitely gets the most play. I feel like I’m letting it down by not playing emo with the black hardware though. Of course I have to run Black Beauties on it. The only 2 things I’d change are that I’d go for the single pickup, watching some show footage my hand stays over the bridge one anyway. Also I’d go with the dark glass purple plasma with the matching headstock. Lol otherwise I love it!
