So like a cool hobby? I can respect that. I went full Alex Webster for 10 tears before my hands stopped working. Sorry if I was being a bummer I just dont want anyone to get unrealistic expectations.

Great your hear to discourage me and tell me about how your hands stoped working.
I'm sorry that happened but why try to discount what I have now?

I just dont want people to waste their time like I did. I'm convinced I was in the top 15% percent of skilled bass players of all time and dont have a nickel to show for it. Which is fine. Just dont give people unrealistic expectations. A "band" implies that you will play shows etc.
You know what imma STFU. Please dont respond I've had enough.

Lol I said no respond. BUT since you asked
Like an empty room.
When my hands stopped working I (over time) traded my equipment for meth since addiction was close enough to passion at the time. I mean my lifes work was swept under the rug.
Way back then though I was really proud of my sound. I spent time over years picking different amps etc. Perfecting it to sound the way I wanted. I played strictly death metal/tech death (and towards the end some doom metal when I realized the beauty residing inside simplicity) so I made sure to tune low and still stand out. My heroes were Mortician/Cannibal Corpse/Morbid Angel/Brain Drill. In my opinion that type of stuff is as close as we will ever get to classical stuff in the modern age. If Cliff Burton and Alex Webster had a baby It may have sounded like my bass, but now it's just an empty room
Oh and tuning down to A sharp was my favorite, I just really liked the way that hit on my 5 strings I played exclusively with my fingers and always said picks were for sissys

Lol. A Couple message therapists (lol spelling) have said they might be able to fix me up so I could play again but I dont believe them,I think they just want money. If I could pick my fingers accross the strings for you for just 3 minutes. Just this one time I would. I didn't keep any of my old recordings because they used to make me really upset thinking what could have happened if I had just gone a little longer. It would be cool if I could jam with you just this 1 time. I guess that's the whole essence of the thread huh? Went right over my head and I got all sour thinking about what I have lost but music is so much bigger then that. Its bigger than you and me. Now that I see it I feel bad. I'm sorry this is a cool thread. Please make music, make it for me. That special moment when the right music hits someone unexpectedly and they get goose bumps all over or they have a breakthrough That type of thing is special even if I cant help make it happen anymore.

Am I the only one who feels like sui is steamrolling everyone? I don't even care much for his style of guitar playing, and he seems to be calling all the shots. Lotta negative energy coming out of this thread right now...

If you ever get to the point where you need someone with mixing/mastering experience I'd be happy to put your stuff together, I'm trained in it. No cost. Just get my attention.
I play piano but I'm not very good, just studied 2 years of piano + music theory to get past university entrance exams.

I don't see it that way. Personally if there isn't someone with a strong vision like a director on a music project, who is able to say 'I need X', it's too easy for me to end up just spiinning my wheels fruitlessly.
I think the creative liberty here would be in the creation process (jamming). The leader is leading due to his experience.
