    Diary of a Bassist #46: Let's Do The Time Warp Again

    Welcome to the diary! I am a middle aged musician in the midst of a musical renaissance, as the lead singer/bassist in a gigging 4-piece band; documenting my gigs with brief writeups. See the links to past entries below! So, coming out of our two July gigs, things got *super* rocky. Corey had...

    Diary of a Bassist #45: Boys of Summer

    To clarify, the band will continue, just it's better that we either try to work through things and retain the current four piece lineup, or continue as a three piece, as opposed to replacing Corey. I think if Jim and I focus on solo/duo bookings, we can take some of the pressure off with the...

    Diary of a Bassist #45: Boys of Summer

    So, a small update. I agreed to a palaver Friday night, which went alright, but later led to a fight between Jim and I. I have changed course somewhat, and am going to let the band sit as-is for now, and focus on solo/duo bookings. Life is happening for a couple of us right now, and I think...

    Funny timing, as Jim and I decided to kick out a band member last night!

    Diary of a Bassist #45: Boys of Summer

    It's been a lot of ups and downs. Unfortunately, things have come to a head, and as of now, we have removed Cory from the band. I won't waste time going over it, but a lot of the same nagging issues I outlined in past diary entries have been intensifying, so the other three of us decided we...

    NBD - Fender American Professional Classic

    Isn't that color combo amazing?! It's trash. Barely any padding. Prepare to use something else unless you have no choice. It's better than nothing of course! "Online" doesn't give locals jobs, contribute to the local tax base, offer lessons, or support local little league teams and charities.

    Diary of a Bassist #44: The Midnight Girl

    Lol, I used it in the title to compare my last minute filling it to people at a club that's emptying out picking someone from who's left! *I* was the midnight girl here, lol!

    Question - Advanced Age Bassist Can No Longer Sing and Play??

    You're overthinking it. Pick a bassline with minimal changes in rhythm, I like things with driving eighth notes, and play it with a beat (either a drummer or backing track). Go through the whole song, twice. Now try again while singing. I bet you get it just fine.

    Show me your sparkle basses!

    Oh now that's a looker! Is that volume/volume/tone like a Jazz?

    Crazy good DIY recording of Man Who Sold The World

    I am aware of that. The vocals would have been dramatically improved if someone more capable had recorded them.
