For the past week or so, it just seems like my bass playing isnt what it could be. Jamming with friends I can never seem to make up a decent riff or fill. I hope I get over it soon
This can happen from time to time. A lot of it depends on how you are doing mentally and/or emotionally. Another problem I've had when writting was trying to avoid ripping some of my influences to much. Like Hooky (Peter Hook of Joy Division/ New Order fame, in case you didn't know,) or David J. I listen to a wide genre of music, which also helps.
I've found the easiest way to get out of "riff-block" is by playing with new people, listening to new music and not thinking or critizising myself when jamming... it's supposed to be fun, right?
