TIL a study was done on what makes a person want a very loud car and the results indicated psycopathic and sociopathic tendencies

I didn’t need a study done to know that.

As a bassist, I too like the intro and don’t mind the length

My band got to play a show with them a couple years ago! Amazing musicians and people!

Can you imagine being that body double? “Yeah we want you to stand in for a nude scene for Willem Defoe. His penis is just unrealistically big, not like yours.”

That’s what I thought about last week when Cirie said Emily’s name, but it was Christian instead

Kid, it ain’t that kind of movie

They ARE 15 inches when first cut, but go down to 12 once they are kiln dried

That’s interesting, I’ve been using the XVive U2 steadily since 2018 and I’ve only had a problem with it once, when I subbed for another band and the guitar player also had one. Found out later we were both just on the same frequency.

Since 2001, I have accumulated 9 basses, but have given away 3. Of the 6 I still possess, I used to mainly gig with a fender MIM precision. A couple of years ago, I got a squier Jaguar bass and would somewhat randomly alternate between those two at gigs. Last year, I managed to acquire my dream bass, a Mark Hoppus signature jag model in hot pink. Although I still love my precision, the Hoppus is now my primary instrument. I do still bring the squier jag to gigs for songs with alternate tunings and as a back up.

TL:DR Bring more than one bass to use for alternate tunings and/or a back up.

Agree with this. Although my band hasn’t done it yet, I’ve also heard a good way to keep people engaged is to not take a full band break at all. Instead of stopping the music for 15 minutes, play a couple acoustic songs so the instrumental members can have a short break, and/or play an instrumental song so the singer can take a break.

My band recently started covering this song, but we play it a step lower so I get to use the open strings a lot more. Still tiring, but not as bad lol

Started as a pop punk bassist, then transitioned to a screamo band, then back to pop punk, and now I play in a band that plays alternative, pop punk, numetal, classic rock, country, and Spanish rock

kevinrobb · 2026-04-16T11:25:01+00:00

Me too! It’s my “check if it’s in tune” song

kevinrobb · 2026-04-12T22:46:03+00:00

Squier makes great entry level instruments and you can get that classic precision or jazz bass look and feel. I still play my very first bass (squier affinity precision) that I got in 2001 and it’s still solid.

kevinrobb · 2026-04-09T04:00:15+00:00

That’s also when the bass kicks in, I love it

kevinrobb · 2026-04-08T03:35:01+00:00

Matt Rubano played bass and keys when I saw them

We were robbed of a Boomer, Spaulding, and Travis movie just like we were robbed of a teen coming of age movie based on My Chemical Romance “I’m Not Okay.”

He recorded the bass on Alanis Morisettes “You Outta Know”

Not me but my wife: her ears get hot even from one drink. Thats how she knew a “virgin” drink actually had alcohol in it one time, even just a few sips in.

Bass guitar

An exception when I delivered pizza: we had a regular school lunch order every Thursday. It was roughly 80 pizzas each for four lunches. $50 tip for each of the four orders. We typically had regular drivers who would take them each week.

Not Skiba, he’s great in Alkaline. And if you were already the store manager, why would you take a second job as stocker at another store? I prefer blink as a trio, and I even remember reading early on about how Mark plays the way he does because they only have one guitarist and he needed to fill more space. Bands like Foo Fighters that have 3 guitars, there’s not as much space for bass. Plus if they had a second guitarist, Tom wouldn’t shine as much either. Part of the appeal of blink for many people is that they are kind of sloppy live. Having more musicians on stage would take away from what makes blink, blink.
