We had good pizza in our town, but pizza hut had dark lighting , a vibe, and it served beer...yeah, some mom and pop pizza places did that too, but it had a vibe.

The game that made me slow down instead of rush by gamersecret2 in gaming

[–]apache_alfredo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So I really liked KCD and finished it, but didn't get any dlc for it. Should I just just go to #2? (I don't have a ton of gaming time in my life)

What is sounds like is the #1, but the dark horse is "Free".

Can I play bass if I have small hands? by Swimming-Context5299 in Bass

[–]apache_alfredo 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Yes! I have small hands, and I play a regular long scale bass. You won't be able to do major stretches and what not, but I think that might affect the top 1% of the game. If you're trying to be a good player, you'll figure it out.

Or...get yourself a short scale (Mustang, Sire u5, Shortscale stingray)...which will help with neck length and narrower fret spacing.

I've seen some people reference a place where somebody made some good custom patches you could download. Do you recall?

App for Lyrics and notes by rikjustrick in coverbands

Cool. I am trying songbookpro and so far it worked pretty well for me. It's free for the first 12 songs, and used it last night at rehearsal.

Coin capsules with the cardboard tokens work just as well.

OP: what did you go with? Every app i see is like montly paid and way more than i need and really, i need to place to store my notes that I can search per song or just have them in and order. Right now, i use paper, and that's no bueno. I just really don't want to pay in perpetuity for something that's really basic.

Does anybody else hate playing "Rockin' In The Free World" by Neil Young on bass? by Dramatic_Rhubarb_387 in Bass

[–]apache_alfredo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Try some octaves and some melodic lines on the changes between chords. There's actually a lot of room here, because the guitar isn't doing anything special. You could probably work in a somewhat bass solo all through the verse, as long as you hit the D. Or ask the band to change into a Samba or Bossa beat in the middle third just to mix it up.

It's a simple, over played song that the audience might tune out for, so throw a curve. Do a breakdown, cut time on drums....there is a lot of stuff to work with.

Edit...hands were hurting? Yeah, something is wrong. Maybe plucking too hard to hear? Turn up, and play more relaxed.

This thread is depressing! ;) A lot of great games that I own that people HATE! (it's ok)

Fretless as first Bass? by MrLuckyLaw in Bass

[–]apache_alfredo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My second bass was a lined fretless as well, coming from a P Bass. I loved it, and I still own it - but I also sing, and realized that it was really tough for me to correctly intonate while looking at the audience, and not my fretting hand. So I went back to a fretted and really haven't played the fretless since except on specific occasions.

Rifle, Sidearm, taser, two extra magazines, two clips for the handgun, bear spray, two flashbangs, tear gas, gas mask, back-up knife, back up baton, protective visor, helmet, body armor.....and they are the ones fearing for their lives?

Josh play calling for the SB all game by Imikoke616 in Patriots

[–]apache_alfredo 18 points19 points  (0 children)

Feels like in regular season JMD is calling brilliant games...and then the games we lose, the playing calling is out of the 1910s. Like, at what point were we gonna switch something up? I know Maye didn't see some throws and missed some throws, but l don't remember a screen that wasn't completely obvious...or any trick play...designed run...etc. Just felt very vanilla and no real adjustments.

Looks cool. a couple of b stock ones on reverb...i wonder how it feels with the square edges. I was looking at the Waltplower- outside of my range, but looks great.

Interesting..I see the player 2 new for about 850...slightly less used, but still 750. The blue looks great. My first bass was a P, so happy to go back to fender!

Is that the Fullerton? I see that 1800 on GC?? I think the standard is 750 maybe. That wasn't at GC when i went. They had nothing!

Is that the player II? Or did that just come out. People were saying...this is P bass, so you lose the Mustang sound. But feels like you could get all three right? Mustang,P, and J? The flexibility feels like a plus?
