    I have too many

    God damn it people. Since my own purge almost a year ago I’ve survived on one bass. I’m allowed to get one more but only if it’s a 5 string, and I can’t decide! However I’m allowed to keep my 14+ cameras (I can only think of the ones I’ve seen in the last week)

    Different ways of playing arpeggios

    If you can get hold of some sheet music for Chopin's Etudes, try playing some of the arpeggios in there. If might give you a seizure, but it'll do somethig amazing for how you play too. I was learning classical piano for years before picked up a bass and (at the time) found the "normal" bass...

    Did my drummer really just do that .....

    Our Drummer has a really big van. He drives us and our gear everywhere. He hits me. And I like it:unsure:

    Special Sauce

    Well, for near 30 years I've been listening to musicians in pubs talking about their special sauce that will revolutionise the sonic universe..."but it's a secret" bla bla bla... So, just wondering, anyone want to share?

    Special Sauce

    Epic morning music. Sometimes you wake up and there’s that perfect bass line or sound you have to try before you forget it and it’s lost forever..... Then your partner yells, “Shut the f~ck up”. But this morning as I lightly played away picking this arpeggio, she got up and came back with a cup...

    Special Sauce

    I know most musicians like to protect their special sauce technique or settings like it'd ruin them for life if everyone knew. But lets imagine that you shared and the world was a better place, and it got you some love;)

    Still using Rosewood in 2018!

    The only solution to the demands of wood, and the decline of the majestic giraffe, is to start culling guitarists. Then we’ll have a lovely new source for our bass straps. :thumbsup:

    FenderJazz A string twang

    It actually made that final bit of difference I was looking for ! Both the advice on winding to the bottom (on the other side of the photo the winding is lower than it appears), and putting this “stealth” gizmo on, each lent to eliminating that irksome “attack timber”. Even with the stiffest...

    What’s your favorite effects pedal right now?

    But. Where’s the battery go? :P Was switcheding MXR Reverb to stereo for a bit. And discovered that it’s got a very decent Cirrus Logic ADAC chippy inside. No wonder it’s an awesomely sounding little guy.

    FenderJazz A string twang

    Put this “stealth string retainer” from fender on a few hours ago, and it’s kind of??? Photos speak for themselves. It can’t take the tension of the string. Almost gets lifted to the angle of the string without it. And hasn’t made much difference to the angle compared to photo above. But...

    What’s your favorite effects pedal right now?

    When I get around to to making a 5V plug to plug into the Gate jack on this thing it will be... My FAVOURITE effects pedal!!!! It’ll work. IT WILL WORK!

    What’s your favorite effects pedal right now?

    Boss BB1X, which I didn’t have to pay for :thumbsup: We got this specifically to plug into the massive keyboard combo my partner and I share when we leave the house, so I can pre shape my bass. I didn’t expect much from the OD on it, but was very surprised. It’s very tight. Way better than the...

    FenderJazz A string twang

    New strings on two days ago. Wound to bottom of the post (see photo). Yet the break angle of the A still isn’t what I’d call “good” (see photo). But It’s the best angle possible, without screwing on another tree. In a nut shell, your suggestion worked. Sounds better than before. Thanks...
