241 only?

I make counting mistakes when there are people in the room. Usually, I count all the people, then do that minus 2701 (I have 2702 personalities), so as to not confuse other people. Yesterday I was in a room with 5 other people. Lucky me, I had got rid of one personality, but I still counted off 2701, so I ended up with 5 instead of 6.

sux to have MPD.

KarnivorBass Tue Oct 27, 2009 9:20 pm

I am Jonny. I love to play Paintball (hence Karnivor in my name if you want to know just ask) and just recently like this last Saturday got my first bass.

**Smaz** Tue Oct 27, 2009 9:25 pm

Welcome Karnivor!

What made you pick up the bass then? Tell us more.... Smile

Enjoi your stay!

KarnivorBass Tue Oct 27, 2009 9:45 pm

Well since listening to my favorite bands Slipknot, KoRN and many, many others that have some great music I decided to play an instrument, but I thought, sorry if you don't agree, that Guitar was overrated and I am an underdog kind of guy, I decided to play Bass instead..I tried drums way to many things going on for me.

**Smaz** Tue Oct 27, 2009 9:58 pm

You've made the right choice! Very Happy

I'd love to play drums, but just haven't had the chance - I'd never be allowed them at home Sad

I've considered getting an electric kit instead... but ended up going for a new bass instead, whoops Very Happy

KarnivorBass Tue Oct 27, 2009 10:06 pm

Thanks. Yeah I was never aloud drums either but hey I am happy with the Bass even though the first five minutes I broke a string T_T my tuner or I wasn't working and I tightened the E string too far and pop, but got it fixed now and even wrote my first riff not great and only on one string but hey I started yesterday. can you recommend a good and decently cheap tuner?

**Drakon7** Tue Oct 27, 2009 10:46 pm

Firstly, you can get a decent USB drum kit for <$100 USD

Secondly. Guitar is pretty overrated. its roughly 8 guitarists in the world to 1 bassist, so at any given time, theres at least 4 bands that want you Razz

lawl.
but srsly
Welcome. Im the troll.

**SuperMaximo93** Tue Oct 27, 2009 10:59 pm

You guys should see my bedroom, seriously.

2 Basses (w00t!)
Electric Guitar (not that good really, still beginner stage, can tremelo pick pretty well though)
Accoustic Guitar (harder to play than electric)
Keybord (can't play this, was supposed to be for my brother but he never plays it, has great rave sounds XD)
Drum Kit (can do simple beats, fills and variations pretty fluently)

... Laughing

Either the Qwik Tune QT-11 : http://www.qwiktunetuners.com/images/QT11-LG.jpg

or the Korg GA40 : http://www.korg.com/Product.aspx?pd=251

I own both (as I thought I'd lost my Qwik Tune one ^^), and they're both easy to use & pretty accurate. I think the Qwik Tune one is better for ease of use to be honest, but I've no complaints with the Korg Smile
