    Natural notes

    I’m glad you are not writing scores! I’ll stick with the old school. It has worked for literally hundreds of years. Then again, I was probably around when it was invented! Hey, get off my lawn!

    Has anyone tried the spark neo for bass?

    I use my Spark mini all the time for bass. Can’t push it too hard or it breaks up, but for just practicing and playing along to a backing track, it is fine. I assume I would have similar results with the Neo. I do not play overly loud when I am practicing.

    Double Bass #9 or b10?

    You have officially gone above my pay grade! :cool: But I totally agree that context matters.

    Double Bass #9 or b10?

    Double Bass Gmaj7,#9,#11

    Not sure how you are getting an A natural on a Gmaj7 #9 #11 - Can you expound a bit on your thoughts on the chord voicing because ot looks like you have a natural 9 (described by the A natural) and a #9 (described by the Bb). I want to learn something from this post. I assume the notes of the...

    Relics. Who hates them? Who loves them? And why?

    I just picked up this Hofner 500/1 1961 Relic. I love relics. If done correctly they feel like an old pair of jeans. Especially after I got it setup and Plek’d. These are pics that the seller took. I have removed the pickguard since the purchase.
