The more you get used to the bass, the less you'll have to mute.
Play chords on it!
Try just a little bit of distortion too.
 
In between getting ready for graduation, studying for a certification test, looking for work and drooling over lefty strats online, I'm adding another new song to my repertoire on acoustic. Big Head Todd and the Monsters 'Bittersweet' which is basically, G, D, Am and C played over and over. I also want to revisit Justin's site to brush up on some things when I get time and I can start to play barre chords on the guitar now that the action is pretty much fixed.
 
Did you get that job? G-C-D with an Am thrown in is a classic progression that is basically the core of a bunch of songs. It's fun just to strum the hell out of it sometimes.

That particular job no, but I'm working on others.

It's on the way. Generally. It's on a cargo ship on its way to LA. Then it will have to make its way to Ohio. Mid to late June or so.

No PRS for you, huh? That ESP looks great. What's the story with the nut?

I'm told they all look that way.


Ohhhhh.....

It's a locking nut so that you don't lose tension between the nut and the pegs when you use the whammy. Friction and nuts are enemies. You need to use an allan wrench to unclamp it to change strings. The Floyd Rose whammy has a lock for each string in the bridge that needs a wrench to change the strings too. It's a bit of a pain to change strings, but worth the trade-off for the tuning stability. My other 2 main guitars have the locking nuts, so I'm kind of used to it.


The PRS neck just didn't fit my hand as well as I would have hoped. I was amazed at how well the ESP felt and played at half the cost.
 
A locking nut. What will you kids think of next? I hope you can wait until June. If the guys in Japan haven't made yours yet, maybe you can have them do you up a Hello Kitty version.

A friend of mine is a Navy doctor. He gets all kinds of bizarre complaints from Marines. One kid came in complaining that his scrotum was too wrinkled. My friend told him it appeared to have the appropriate amount of wrinkles and offered him a psychiatric referral.
 
I'm assuming it's built and in a cargo container somewhere. Slow boat, then customs, then warehouse, then transit to Ohio. 8 weeks or so will have to do. I'll just have to focus on new material till then. Just started messing around with Brick (awe) House tonight. Chicka bow wow..... BRICK!!!!

I hope it's here by the end of June, we're supposed to play a party in mid July. It would be killer to have it by then. Someone just asked if we could do a set at a benefit of some sorts. It's either this Sunday or next. I hope the tell us before the thing starts.....
 
You have to special order them from Japan. They arrive on a cargo ship in LA and get trucked to Ohio.

By the way, the bass guitar RAWKS. I haven't touched anything with six strings in two weeks. It's just enough like a guitar to make picking it up easy, yet different enough to offer its own set of challenges. And these bass guys are just as obsessed about their basses as we are our guitars! Who knew? What other worlds lie out there of which I knew naught?
