    How often do you use a pick?

    I use a pick almost exclusively. It's more intuitive to sing playing with a pick and my pizzicato is pretty mediocre anyway. If I need something a bit fuller and smoother, like the ending of this song we recorded, I just play lighter and closer to the neck. Pick and flats all the way:

    The Mediocre Bassist Club

    I used to post here, but since the pandemic I didn't play a lot for a few years. The boys are finally back in town and this is my first time ever releasing a song

    Official Joyo Club Part 2: Beyond Thunderclone

    I wish they made an SVT-style pedal. That is the only thing I would buy right now that could move me away from my American.

    Inexpensive all-purpose drive for up to 100$ ? Joyo/Caline

    BTW this is the sound of a Tagima Tw-66 with EMG GZR Pickups and Pyramid Gold flatwounds.

    How many here can still play a CD?

    Yes, but I would have to get an external CD-ROM reader I have somewhere.

    Inexpensive all-purpose drive for up to 100$ ? Joyo/Caline

    I use the Joyo American pedal and love it. It keeps some very nice lows and mids when overdriven. I use it more for just a little bit of grit, though. With a DI it sounds very organic.

    Rola Amplifier

    I would love to have one because rola means male organ in Portuguese and it would be hilarious.

    Using Regular Guitar Pedals for a Bass?

    Even a few overdrive or preamp work really well. I've been getting pretty good results with a Joyo American preamp.

    What's the name of this style of hat?

    Let's make a list: Magic tone sweetener pedals.

    I use what my budget allows: a Joyo American pedal.

    Judas Priest have already claimed the stage motorcycle after all.

    stoner rock bassline logic and feel

    This band ended up going nowhere because of schedule conflicts, but I loved being part of it. Generally I worked with faster, funkier side of stoner ruffs like Clutch, but one day I started messing with a delay and a rat and this song happened. I still love it.

    The Mediocre Bassist Club

    For me it was a week. Got a job as an intern in a law firm, got fired because I "wasn't a good fit". It was a Friday. On Monday, they had hired the owner's niece and she was there at my desk. It's ok. For the songs I write 1 chord is good, 2 is pushing it, more than 3 is jazz. And I don't play...

    The Mediocre Bassist Club

    They've sent us a pre-mix track for the EP and this saxophone solo is so, so good. I played the bass and did what I pass for singing. I'm really, really happy about that bass tone. Vocaroo | Online voice recorder
