Good clip with Tory doing Giant Steps and displaying her finger drumming (Yamaha drum pad co troller ... maybe I'll get me one of them gizmos, pretty cool). She did the bass part off camera. Plays the head slightly haltingly, gotta be a choice, she certainly has the chops to do it any way she...

Yeah, it's quite a rabbit hole, been going down that myself. She's versatile in the genres she plays, though significantly jazz oriented. I bought her recent album, felt like supporting her. Good stuff.

😆😁

So I've been watching a lot of Tory Slusher's content lately ... she somehow has flown under my radar previously (some people say she's the best kept secret on YouTube). An astonishing guitar player with great creativity and musicality. She posted a clip where she plays bass, accompanying that...

Hendrix's cover of Watchtower is iconic, and even Dylan himself has said Hendrix's version is definitive, and is the way the song should be played. Ever after, Dylan has performed a Hendrix based version in concerts. Case closed. 😊

Sounds like a keeper! Looks great!

Lower the DiMarzios' height, see if that works. If not, Lollars have a great reputation for a reason, have to imagine those would sound good.

Yes, Seymour Duncan Hot Rails will do the trick. Also, the Lace Sensor Strat size pickups work nicely. Plenty of options out there.

Looks beautiful. Kind of opposite to what I like - narrow fingerboard, thick neck. But it sure looks great! 👍

That was my first thought too. The Bo de Diddley riddim. 😊

If I had two beers before going on, I'd be "two sheets to the wind". I'm a cheap drunk, pretty low tolerance to effects of alcohol. Or pot, for that matter. Rehearsal, I might have a beer if others are. I sometimes like the feeling of playing buzzed, but don't want to unleash the results on an...

100% agree. Played with a drummer a while back who would not, or could not, play a consistent backbeat feel when called for. Frustrating and unenjoyable. Gotta play for the song, not just look to show off or stubbornly ignore what the groove needs.

Looks great. Building these things can be addictive. 😊

Interesting. Those pickups look like they'd be single coils, though sized like humbuckers, And powerful ... I can believe they could be noisy. 😊

I have several light basses (@6.5 lbs to under 8 lbs) that balance and resonate very well. So my experience is that heavier won't necessarily be better in that regard ... in fact, the opposite, ime. I don't experience any sacrifice in any area, with a light bass. But I imagine it depends, these...
