Now i love my bass and playing it with my band is the best.
But im entirely self taught and i never learend how to read bass music (given i can sight sing music) but i really just learned the names of my strings.
I mean you can judge for yourself if im bad or not

nah its pretty good, just a little off with the tone is all, but only on the Higher notes, when you do the runs, i might Suggest a pick, just to give it a little more attack, if your already using one, tone it up?
i like it, and if your playing Original stuff like that without knowing how to read, your doing good for yourself
i'm being taught to read, but i'll never get the hang of it
i really wouldnt Say Jam band cos i dont hear too many of the Extended Solos that make it a Jam Band

I cant hear it because myspace is being stupid with me right now... But as for changing your tone like the previous post mentioned, you could probably get that same effect or better if you instead move your fingers closer back to the bridge of your bass. Not to where you get an extremely twangy tone, or none at all, but guitars have stronger attacks closer to the bridge, and softer closer to the fretboard (or on it)

I wouldn't necessarily say it's a bad thing, but there is much to be learned by learning theory and sight reading. There comes a point where self-taught, play it by ear style won't get you any further. The theory will, if nothing else, just augment what you've already found out and will help you communicate better with other musicians. What if you go jam with a bunch of guys, they tell you the song is in the key of E, and they just go? Happened to me, and it opened my eyes to what theory has to offer.

There are some very gifted people out there who pulled off music very well without theory. They lived, breathed, and consumed music though.

AH! I finally got the damn player to work for me. I like that raw rock feel you got going. Really I think more than learning more lines that you get your guitarists to clean up their lines, and have them sustain their notes better. Also work on your time with your drummer. At times it dosn't feel reliable.
I feel that if your gonna play bass like you are though a bit of knowledge of scales and progressions wouldnt hurt at all.
You guys sound good though! I'm enjoying listening to it. If you wanna add my band to your friends we are www.myspace.com/phoenixfromtheashes
We would love to have you on our friends list!
