I have the same misshapen foot

that was beautifully written. I feel nostalgia for something I have never experienced. You did. Congrats

Little did I know… That moment when you come in with the original feel/bassline if this song (Parliament/Funkadelic's Billy Nelson!!!) not realizing that everyone in your local scene seems to have never once listened to that version and has only heard the Delbert version. I initially thought...

I had to stop my breakfast routine to freak out and dance in my kitchen to that clip so thank you for that.

I think you are too wild for even Billy Cobham. 'Piano guy, can you throw me a low A? Hey Billy, let's try 'Sunny', in 17/8'

any instrument that makes your fellow bandmates turn your way with that stinky face, is worth the price of admission. Low or high

And ... I don't quite vibe with this new talk bass format. Now strings on my laptop

I will say, about that Fodera ... Putting my band-geek, former Tubist hat on. The kind with Warhammer pieces stashed inside (NERD!!!!) I got good enough on a cheap Yamaha BBb Student horn, to get myself into Berklee and OCU, which I attended on a full-ride. When I took a 8k loan to get a...

Godspeed!! That was one I had to let go of, to pay for more GAS-related shenanigans. It still haunts me. Not a single bad word to say and I can't imagine what an Imperial or Emperor of my own customizations would do to me ... and I told the judge I wouldn't engage in that type of tomfoolery any...

there's definitely a reason I find myself on your threads a lot lol. Simple P/J/MM sounds for this guy. Much like I'll take a cast-iron cooked pecan pie over just about any type of cake/dessert. All of which I'm sure that Fodera can nail, including the 'pea-can' pie

Had basically the same config that Sharay Reed plays now. That seemingly-endless amount of tones ... was the 'problem' that made me get rid of it. Fit finish/feel of the asymmetrical neck carve: absolute perfection. There was one tone setting I stumbled upon, that was as thick/present as any...

Quick Cirrus in the wild story: I almost injured myself on a 5k Run, directly as a result of a Peavey Cirrus. On this route through a nice neighborhood of North OKC, they have live music acts peppered throughout. This guy's monstrous, 'beefier Ken-Smith' thing he had going, almost made me...

I have this 'where did funk/FONK go?' convo periodically, with other bass-players, and I always tell them what I was taught: It's still in the churches where it came from. Better lyrics too, overall.

That hit like 3 espressos
