Nobody?

So I've been a music major in moorpark community college and im in my last semester before transferring to a university. I'm in the jazz band, absolutely love jazz, and play electric bass, but moorparks music program is a classical environment. I'm curious to know if the theory I've learned in...

....try playing at speaking volume?

The one acoustic bass that I owned was a four string fender victor bailey signature. It was one of the most beautiful and comfortable basses I've EVER played, up there with my fodera in terms of comfortability....BUT.... The E and the A strings were WAYYYYYYY louder than the G and D, and that...

So I'm going to be applying for UCLA soon as a transfer student, and I'd like to get some opinions as far as repertoire is concerned. The guidelines were essentially to just have some jazz standards prepared, and the thing is----I transcribed a few jazz things back in high school, and I'm only...

I don't think so, I can pluck anywhere from a half inch from the bridge to the top 4 frets of the fretboard with a deep tone through an actual amp and not hear all the string vibration that I do when I simply turn the neck pup all the way down and solo the bridge pickup. My main goal is to...

I couldn't do what he's doing, and he's good at it----but I couldn't listen to it for very long without getting bored to be honest. Of course he can most likely do much more than what's in that video though.

It really forces you to incorporate your entire fretboard in sight reading, helping you break out of the habit of relying on everything below D4

Playing a gig the day after you played a gig that you reached what I call the musical "zone". Where there is no question as to whether your ego is affecting your playing, and you become the music, almost like you are not the same person an what comes out comes from some world that I would think...

If anything I would blame the PARENTS if the children gained access to her porn...

I won one of these in a raffle at one of Victor's camps, and I gotta say: I have no noticed one iota of difference. The only thing I notice is that it's much more durable. It also wobbles in the head due to being slightly smaller, but that doesn't affect performance.

I have no face....due to the massive palm that went through it.
