apparently not when I'm involved in the conversation

Welcome Lukas!

Howdy peeps, my names Mike and I've been a drummer for almost 20 years. Been playing shows drumming since I was about 16. I'm finally tired of drumming and loading/setting up/breaking down just to go play a show. So I decided I'd pick up the bass. I've been playing for a little less than 2 months and LOVING it.. Can't put my bass down. Everyday I get better and better and my calluses get thicker and thicker I have learned a CHITLOAD from Dman and just bought "slap and pop evolved". O, I have also played a TON of instruments in my time, I'd have to say my second love aside from drums has always been piano, but bass is taking place of the drums VERY nicely Thanks a lot for having me on the forums, I hope I can gain some knowledge and maybe be able to help a few peeps too.

Cheers,

~Beast

Welcome Beast Man H

Ill make a thread about it eventually. Its drum related (H)

welcome evryone I missed in my absence

Ohh oops ... Guess I posted my welcome in the wrong forum >.< I looked for it but couldn't find it; I never would have guessed it to be in the off topic though. Silly me, I thought we were bass players here

I did the exact same thing

Ahh, that makes me feel a lot better, thank you

I never bothered to introduce myself. Takes too much time.

Same, i can still remember the first post I made though

Hello everyone!

I'm Andrew, and I got my first bass Christmas of '09, so just over a month ago! I've wanted to play bass basically my whole life, but had to wait till just now to finally get one (bah, stupid parents). From day one of picking up my Davison, I have been watching Kris' videos and I feel like I've come along way in a short time! Can't wait to see where we all go from here!

This is Lady McBeth!

Hi, Andrew! I hope you enjoy your stay, the emergency exit is in the upper right corner of your screen.

No, that's wrong.
It's the red one near the top left, exits are always red.

That Lady is naked without the B-String, put it back on!!!! LOL

Be careful as your neck could end up twisted, the string pressure needs to be evenly spread across the neck.

Nice bass though ...and welcome to the forum
