MobileSheets. Super Happy and Satisfied user. Android as well as Windows version. I have not used paper since 2021 at all. I can find any tune out of 8,000 in a second using MobileSheets Pro, but I use the Set Lists feature for my Church gig and just keep advancing. Over the course of a year...

I bought this at Amazon and have used it at some jams with EB. It's comfortable, adjustable, and soft! Does not fold flat, and is not heavy, but it is not light. I drive everywhere so it's curb to basement or backyard, or bar, to the jam. If you are walking ANY distance or public transport...

Love my Carvin Amps, never had a problem, great clean sound.

You showed weakness. He saw it. And now he's locked onto you, tormenting you with almost no effort. It will not end.

One is fretted one is fretless. I admit, I'm easily confused. These are my main two and play both but prefer fretless. Different colors, didn't I say easily confused? Other electrics have frets, but the EUR, and real Upright don't have frets. It makes sense to have a backup that is the same...

I wasn't going to reply, but I just turned on my music on my computer which is run through a proper audio system via usb with a sub woofer. I hear the bass just fine in the mix. (excluding specific bad mixings etc), Sometime I even turn off the sub woofer. YouTube and phones are a lousy way to...

I would feel very bad for him to sink so low. But I would listen and watch his every note and hope I remember some tibit.

You probably should not watch Air Disasters on Smithsonian Channel and other outlets. The majority of the problem in my opinion is preventable and people acting like idiots who should know better. And of course when multiple idiots or idiot actions come together that is when we get the...

We are not perfect and never will be. Just keep moving forward. Write down what you were not happy with and spend some time working on it. Just don't dwell on it. But all my teachers said, keep going, and cover up your mistakes. Most people will never notice if you keep going, and don't...

It seems what many are missing and I feel the pain, is the sound output from the upright. Even with headphones, the upright will project unless muffled physically. I have an EUB for travel convenience when out of the house. I would hate to have the EUB as my primary in my home, I would much...

Agreed, I don't care what the neighbors think any more than they do. If they really piss me off, I'll host a big jam in the yard!

Bookmarked. It so good to know stuff like this is so readily available.

I wish you lots of luck. You will be at the mercy of all the other people in the building and complex. You might get lucky or more likely over the long term not so lucky. I have been in my house, 34 years. When I settled in I cranked up my 1K head and 2 cabinets, just to prove I can. I...

That is funny. What I was trying to say (here's another angle) They do it, We talk about it, A TB tradition. And today I'm guilty as well.

I doubt in the major league forum there is six pages or more of batting practice discussion.

I myself don't have the patience for this unprofessional BS. If you can't get together to rehearse, don't gig. Drop the gig and the band now. The reason doesn't matter why you can't rehearse. Are you going to announce at the gig, don't mind us, we can't rehearse.? Professionals come...

Good Luck, think of it as an incredible learning experience, just watch the stress it might impose on you. Not ideal but you may find it gets easier down the road. Don't be afraid to bow out after giving it enough time if it doesn't ultimately work out. Glad you talked it out, at least the...

Thanks I use my tablet for all worship group including Sunday. I have a backup tablet with a copy of the app and the same file. We are bass players after all, always prepared! I don't want to hijack the thread, I have posted in a few threads on how I set it up and use it. I have all my...

I beg to differ. Any group that I am part of I will open my mouth, especially if I see something stupid. The OP's situation qualifies as stupid. I am not there by force, I have free will. I will speak up, and if the result is unacceptable to me, I'm done and gone. That can even can apply in...

As said by others this is unacceptable and unprofessional. This is not a paid position and a perfect example of "your not being paid so they don't give a rats backside and is a complete lack of respect". I have been involved in church music since I was 9 years old and never once been treated...

Listening with quality headphone that deliver bass through a DAC and amp. It needs to be redone. It is frapping (new word). However I enjoyed the tune, you did great. You can not record direct with Piezo pickups, you need to match impedance. Your Fishman preamp is more than capable and...

This has already been discussed at length in another thread started by JimmyM. I think you might find it helpful. I posted a lengthy use summary and a number of other posts that I will not rehash again starting at post # 52 and following. The whole thread is full of useful information from...

That is the best pinewood derby car I have seen! That is so cool!

If it's painted and it's smooth it will work. Our car was super sanded and painted repeatedly, it was like glass, no wind drag. I feel the extra bump from the decal might increase the drag. Also sand the wheels to take some of the smoothness out and increase the grab. If no paint then the...

I don't have the patience to do the research but there are many. Many use lined fretless and when I was making my decision it was the number of well known bassists that I knew or found out about who used lined fretless that made me go with lines. Bunny Brunel is one that used lined fretless...

I did get the fretless first, but my wife bought me an Upright for a special occasion because I always wanted one. I consider them two different instruments. Not giving either up. But I will readily admit the fretless is much easier to carry and go up and down stairs. Upright is also a much...

I love my fretless. Most of the time people don't even know it's a fretless. But the fretless sound is there when I want it. Not every note has to be an advertisement. I get more raised eyebrows because it's a 5 string, because they can physically see that and then get judgmental. Many famous...

The best part of this thread is the "LUXURY" and related references. For those unaware of this classic Four Yorkshiremen

I think you phrased best what many of us are trying to saying. And this applies to a slow groove also. Doing a one off is one thing. Doing it every night all over the world with all the pressure to get it right is what makes the simple not so simple after all. A true professional (in any...

I have no doubt you could do it, but I agree when I get bored or loose focus dumb things happen to me. I have to try harder on simple straightforward stuff and keep myself in check. Ed makes it look easy, and he is keeping the focus which I think people in general under rate. He might not be...

Just saying....I enjoy my work but no one has ever applauded when I finish. Ed's gig sounds like way more fun than my work and can certainly lead to similar interesting work where my work leads to more of the same. There is an old fishing saying that I have applied to golf and music. "A bad...

And Ed is playing a Tiny Upright, perfect for the "Tiny Desk." Always ready and prepared!

Actually people are telling you what to play. You either draw a crowd and continue or you don't and stay home. They are paying you and the audience is the boss at the end of the day. Do you have latitude, perhaps, but not if you are a tribute band. If you are an original band with a...

Ed Friedland wrote about this in Bass Player 9/2018 and it's reprinted at his website titled "The Art of Being No One" The Art Of Being No One - Ed Friedland He talks about two kinds of bass playing. We all talk about serving the song and the situation, yet we resist. And yes context and...

The culture is a whole different problem and can of worms. I agree, the culture can damage lots of stuff. I keep telling my son, no that's not how it was, I was there! Just because someone said it on the internet doesn't make it true. But people do have different experiences, perceptions...

The first time I heard Rush was walking into the Senior Lounge in High School and hearing 2112 on All The World's a Stage on our much hated by the faculty stereo system turntable. I was hooked. I bought it on the way home at Sam Goody on 8 track. Then on cassette, then on CD, and now it's on...

You can't make a rule out of an exception. I can dance to it just as well as any other music, just think Elaine on Seinfeld. I can hum the music because I'm a musician, but it's often not easy, which line to choose. In my mind when you think or focus or concentrate on the music you get...

I listen to music based on my mood. So some sense of genre is important to me as a listener. But with my own physical collection it is not easy to put pieces into categories. Many pieces wind up in more than one group. Prog Rock as a category is actually limiting, but it does represent a...

I am a big fan of Prog in all it's forms. Most of what I listen to is not popular in today's mass market. If I like it, it's the kiss of death. Basically what I play "out" I don't listen to at home. (Of course I have to listen to learn it, but it's not my go to) With the good stuff you hear...

Take it to a luthier to have it evaluated. If he agrees it's in good shape and a good value, have him do a full setup, perhaps new stings for your purpose. I can't stress how important a good setup is. And make sure you tell him your musical interest and your desire to do some bowing as that...
