The catholic is strong with this one.

I scrolled away from this comment, then it hit me like a ton of bricks.

I'm a huge fan of yours and The Mars Volta. I'm also an aspiring bassist. I started back in middle school(around 12 years ago) on the Cello, and eventually moved to the Double Bass. I haven't played in probably 8-10 years now, and I picked it back up around 2 months ago.

• Is there any tips you can give to an aspiring bassist to learn better techniques?
• How do you go about writing the bass line for a song? I like other peoples music, but I feel like I could be my own musician if I played around with my own things.

Thanks for taking the time to do this, you're an awesome dude.

1. You acknowledged and answered my question! Wooh! I'm validated as a person who asks things!

2. I try to as much as I can. I actually just saw RHCP in April and couldn't take my eyes off of Flea. It's magical seeing amazing bassists like you and Flea play live.

3. I have a Macbook! I'll get right on it and attempt to do something worthwhile!

Thanks again!

You hold your tongue. Pinky Pie will destroy you.
