It actually is a tuba part. It has a second voice for most of the low parts but there are some sections where I'm trying to read Bb and Ab from the extra lines and it is hurting my brain trying to transpose that on the go.

I'm perfectly happy sitting on the root of the chord for the intro while the horns have some fun. Once we get to the first verse this thing takes off and I can barely hold on at 144bpm : )

Thanks for the help : )

Hi. Has anyone ever seen something like this? How do I make a shuffle "Bright"? Also, if you are presented with sheet music for a bass clef instrument that does not transpose, do you try to read the ledger line madness, or would you take the time to write it out for bass guitar to make it...

Hi, I had a couple of days off and did some long overdue cleaning and maintenance on some of my instruments and a question came up that I haven't really though about before. On some bridges you have a screw to adjust your intonation, like on fender bridges for example: And then on other...

Hi, I have been playing bass on and off for for >15 years now, as a hobby, never taking things too seriously. I have started to learn to read 2-3 times but never got anywhere with it. 2 years ago I decided to try again and I can now "read". I figured I'd write this post to talk about the...

Hey, Started learning reading a couple of months back now and I am making decent progress. I could do with some more material, maybe you have some recommendations for books that: 1) Do not have tab notation underneath the standard notation. 2) Come with backing tracks with and without the bass...

Hi, Long story short: Need something that I can use for playing at home. I am currently using a Yamaha THR10, dropping the low frequencies with the EQ. Doesn't sound very inspiring. So I started looking around . I used to have a Markbass 121H with a LM3. Loved the sound. More then enough...

Anyone know if this will still have the ability to use 18V supply for added headroom?

Good morning, I am setting up a small pedalboard, right now what I have in mind: TC Polytune Diamond BCP-1Bass Comp - still need to buy one. Used to own one a couple of years back and loved it. Fulltone OCD EHX Bass Big Muff Still need to figure out a pedalboard with hardcase solution for...

Ended up picking up a used Ashdown MAG300 and a 15" ABM compact cab for about 400$ - leaves me more money for pedals : )

Just to clarify - I no longer own any of the amps or cabs that I listed above, blank sheet as far as amplification goes. Combo vs amp+cab, no real preference here. Amp+Cab is easier to lift, combo might be a bit cheaper. Budget: always a tricky question. Let's say a nice round 1000€, doesn't...

Hello, I got pulled back in after being off the market for a couple of years, need to make myself gig ready again. I still have my bass, a 5 string Maruszczyk Jake - Nothing boutique or extra fancy but it is a good instrument. My amp history goes like this: 1) A small Hartke practice amp, 30B...

1. TC Electronic Polytune. Display works in bright sunlight, tracks low notes well. Any other good tuner can be used here. Only reason not to use a tuner pedal, is if you have a rack tuner. 2. Diamond Bass compressor or any other high quality compressor. I find a good compressor/limiter is a...

I tried using the Lighnting to USB 3.0 adapter for connecting the Focusrite yesterday, didn't work for some reason. I'll see if I can figure it out. Might be that the 2i2 isn't class compliant.
