are you/ have you been in a band?
just curious how many bbmb'ers are musically inclined..
i havent really LISTENED to rock as much as i used to since i was in college and played in bands. i listen to rock more passively now, but i was ALL about it back then.. everything i'd hear id be thinking about how to play.. playing in bands was a huge part of my life from the age of 14 to about 22, then i put away all my gear, moved and kind of just forgot about it completely. i was looking around the other day and watched a tape of my last band and its like the floodgates opened up - all this shit started coming back. i completely forgot how much i loved playing music, being in a band. so i went to the guitar store yesterday and just started looking around. i am in love with a butterscotch pbass and im thiiiiiiiiiiiis close to going to get it now. i played my acoustic for a little while, god do i suck right now.. i wanna rock the fuck out! *SHRIIIEEEEEEKKK*

Re: are you/ have you been in a band?
I play bass (the clue's in the screen name) but I've never been in a band.
Well... I turned one band down to be an another, except that the band I 'joined' never started and the one I turned down went into the studio :/

I've been in a band, but I don't play an instrument.
I was a bit like the Meg White of the band.

Re: are you/ have you been in a band?
2 bands actually. One band was with a group of my hometown friends and I and a female singer. The band consisted of 2 bassists- my pal and I, a guitarist, and a drummer. We called ourselves "Skillet" because all of us had worked at a mexican restaurant and the dishes were served on skillets. The singer's uncle worked at a radio station in Cleveland and he actually gave us some airtime on a keep or lose type deal where the listeners could vote whether they want to hear us make it and 89% voted yes. We didn't do much after that because everyone started moving away.
The second band was a group of friends that I have met while in Cincinnati and we were called "House of Usher." Again, I was the bassist and there was a singer, guitarist and drummer. We played a lot around Cincinnati, mostly at small clubs and such. We had a very similar sound to Black Sabbath but it was all original material. We broke it off because I had joined the military. I'm kinda in a one man band right now but it's a little boring doing all the shit myself and I would like to have fellow musicians to play with to hear their ideas. Been trying to get a band together but craigslist hasn't been working out. B, get that bass and play with me yo! Last edited by ericlee : 06-23-2010 at 07:21 PM. |

Re: are you/ have you been in a band?
Yeah, which is what I did.
I was at first supposed to be the bass-player, though I didn't really have any bass skillz and then I asked the drummer (who was absolutely shite) if I could have a go and I turned out to be better than him, so I became the new drummer. Oh and I once had to play bass on stage for a school thing. We played 'gay bar' and my (male) friends were all dressed in really tight outfits and leather and fishnets and all that. It was traumatic.

Re: are you/ have you been in a band?
yeah, we had a few band fights but most of the musicians aren't all on the same sheet of music. That's how different ideas of material gets done.
I mean, the guitarist of the band I was in while in Cincinnati had a mullet but he could fucking lay some solos down! |

Re: are you/ have you been in a band?
i think im going to definately go the P-Bass route. i was looking at this butterscotch (yellow) 1951 reissue one with the chrome metal bridges over the strumming part of the strings. i went back yesterday after posting and almost bought it..
basically i liked the bridges, i think theyd be really handy for playing a long set.. i have slight arthritis... but the dude told me i could buy those bridges and put them on everything. the bass sounded NICE... the high strings sound less twangy and more rich. i want to find one with a nice deep full sound all around the fretboard (1), i think i prefer a fender (2) and some interesting color would be nice im considering starting a jazz band that dresses up like a metal band

Back then I was learning and only had a Squier P-Bass. Piece of shit that it was. Now I have a Fender Mexican Precision Bass (Only slightly shit) and a Fender Jaguar Bass (shit-hot). I want a Gibson bass at some point in time, but I can't afford one right now. Alas, I have no guitar playing, drum playing, or singing fweinds :(
