Thanks, I'll work on my groovyness for sure. It's a Tune bass. I think its called a twb 6 but I'm not exactly sure

Thank you!

This is only my second arrangement for solo bass so my technique is still developing and my timing could use some work but other than that check it out and let me know what you think! YouTube - Revelation-yellowjackets Ari Edgecombe

YouTube - Revelation-yellowjackets Ari Edgecombe Here's another arrangement I just uploded. I used my six string in this one because it's clearer and i use the c. I used more chords than line in this one.

Me and my sax player have been practicing weekly for the past 2-3 months together because our drummer lives far away so we really had most of it down already by the 2 week notice period. And I slap the 2 and the 4 on latin stuff, and I notice I kind of reply to my phrases by slapping the...

It went alright. We played a lot better live than in practice definatly. We were really over prepared for it definatly and there was a lot of tosts so we really stretched out our set. We only got 35$ each in tips but were just a couple of 17 year olds. I did give out a bunch of my business cards...

He's an alto player. I do a lot more rakes, ghost notes, fills, whole/half notes when we play together than when I'm in my schools jazz band. I don't play chords or double stops that much though, mainly because I don't have the strongest left hand yet but I'm working at it and I'll definatly use...

Alright we'll take a pass on that one then. Solar is one of my favorites, really fun to solo and walk on. When we do work on blue in green should I make mine line busier to give a better sense of time?

Thanks for all the input! We've rehearsed twice so far. The first went fairly bad but we both had long days before it. This morning we ran our list and it sounded great!. I'll give all of these suggestions a listen. I'll get him to play a bit durring my solos. We said we'd have about an hour set...

Cool, I like those suggestions. I was thinking nardis would be pretty cool too. And yeah, time and form.

So my friend and I have a low pressure gig. We're playing for tips at someone's 75th birthday. We usually play in a trio with drummer but he lives to far away for us to call him out without pay. I've never played live with just the two of us though. We're doing an hour set of jazz standards and...

My amp was set for normal bass playing and I just forgot to switch it. Usally I put it flat with athe bass down a bit, but I had it set bassier in the video. It didn't sound so bad in person. I think the camera has something to do with the muddyness also. I have tried on the jazz bass but it's...

I did some slight improv just mainly in the bass line. It's pretty loose except for the melody.

Thanks for the feedback! My timing is not super tight I'll admit but there's a pulse in there. I do have a six string with 24 frets that I could arrange something for next in a higher range. I think I'll try something latin again before I try something else, then maybe a swing tune.
