    I would Just Use a B-F-C-G-D-A-E-C-F or A-E-B-G-D-A-E-B-G... <br /><br /> I dunno if that would be correct... <br /><br /> By the way I think that I'd go crazy trying to tune that thing!!! <br /><br /> Peace, Eric

    giving him the count is the best way (even if "Caveman Speak" would work better sometimes!!).<br /><br /> I've been playing with my drummer since we were 8 so that we communicate telepatically... <br /><br /> Peace, Eric

    Get that Squier starter's pack!! <br />Affinity P-bass is very good for quite ev'ry style... <br /><br /> If you're really lucky you can find an old (and maybe not-used) Yamaha (I'm thinking about rbx250 or 260) for a very few money (Back in '97...(more)
