Buat player2 bass yang sering-sering ngulik, trus, latihan n.. latihan pastinya juga lu sering gonta-ganti senar karena udah engga enak atau keliatan dari fisiknya juga dekil item n karat2 gitu.. Tapi kalo lagi engga ada duit alias boke, uring2an deh lo buat beli senar lagi, nah ini gw ada tips biar lo bisa lebih rada lama'an lagi make tuh senar, gampang n simpel koq.. Pertama lu siapin panci buat masak air trus senarnya lu gulung kaya pas lagi beli baru, nah pancinya lu isi air kira2 bisa buat ngerendem semua senar trus lu masak dulu air ampe mendidih baru masukin semua senarnya (di rebus ampe -+ 15-20 mnt). Yang terkhir lu angkat trus keringin pake lap kain tunggu ampe dingin or kalo mau bagusnya lagi sih,, masukin freezer di kulkas. and senar lama bersinar kembali siap buat lo betot2 lagi.

FORMASI AWAL DREAM THEATER

1985: Beginnings

Founding members (from left to right) John Myung, Mike Portnoy, and John Petrucci in 1985.

Dream Theater was formed in September of 1985 when guitarist John Petrucci and bassist John Myung decided to form a band in their spare time while studying at the Berklee College of Music (I just was a born hehe). The pair came across drummer Mike Portnoy in one of Berklee's rehearsal rooms, where he was asked to join the band. The trio started off by covering Iron Maiden and Rush songs in the rehearsal rooms at Berklee.

Myung, Petrucci, and Portnoy settled on the name Majesty for their newly formed group. According to the The Score So Far… documentary, they were waiting in line for tickets to a Rush concert at the Berklee Performance Center while listening to the band on a boom box. Portnoy commented that the ending of the song "Bastille Day" (from the album Caress of Steel) sounded "majestic." It was then decided that Majesty would be the band's name ^[5].

The trio then set out to fill the remaining positions in the group. Petrucci asked his high school band-mate Kevin Moore to play keyboards. After accepting the position, another friend from home, Chris Collins, was recruited as lead vocalist after band members heard him sing a cover of "Queen of the Reich" by Queensrÿche^[6] During this time, Portnoy, Petrucci and Myung's hectic schedules forced them to abandon their studies to concentrate on their music. Moore also left his college, SUNY Fredonia, to concentrate on the band.
