    Worst band name you have ever heard.

    How many gigs do you have booked?

    We had 4 gigs landed up before and all of them have been moved mostly to end of the year. There are one or two venues that we've spoken to about gigs. both say we can play but only once things get back to some kind of normal. And no one knows when thatll be

    "My" drummer?

    There's only 2 drummers in a 200km radius so here we never say my drummer or our drummer we just call them by name:D

    Noob preamp question

    From preamp to sound guys and back again! We've done a few gigs and we always have enough monitors. Usually the rythym guitarist and myself share one monitor with mostly bass and vocals as he has his huge amp and cab behind us next to my little 112. Luckily we get along really well and the two...

    Noob preamp question

    If this has been posted already please send me the right way. Couldnt find the right thread through search. What's going on is that I have a peavey max112 combo amp (about 13years old) and a 82 Ibanez pj bass. I play in a blues rock band where the rig is sufficient but I also play in a hard...

    Bassist in an originals band club!

    We finally got around to opening a YouTube page so here's the first single. Our guitarist made the video which I'm not to stoked on I thought the video could've been better but he and the lead singer like it a lot

    Band Logos

    Here's a logo I made for a band I play in. We still haven't decided on a name but seeings as we always get together on a Thursday night I thought it was appropriate. We're also for namibia so those are dunes at the bottom with the night sky:D

    Quarantine woodshed - what about you?

    Seeings as I know can easily put aside 2 hours at least to play bass I'm trying to write songs (which I've never done before) and been starting from beginners level again reminding myself of all those little things that I might have forgotten. Also going through scales and arrpegios in all...

    Wow you guys are killing it! Namibia was only been on lockdown for about 2 weeks and spent a lot of time redoing the garden but have managed to try my hand at writing songs. with everyone stuck at home the BL told us all to write stuff and see what comes out. Laptop went bust that's why some...

    Bass amps that run off 9v adaptor

    I know black star have tiny little bass amps that run on 9 volt power or 6 AA batteries. Ok for around a campfire but not really a performing rig even with the Extra cab you can slave on

    Feedback on our Demo?

    Hey I used to be a video editor, although never did a band promo. Everyone seems to have said all that needs to be said, cut down the time, match the audio and video and get a better audio mix. Try opening and closing with bang and your band logo that way its the first and last thing people see...

    If you were in the audience watching you...

    at my first gig (above photo after playing with the band for only 4 months) i would of thought "man that bassist is boring as hell, don't think he knows whats going on" now after actually getting more comfortable with the stuff we play and working on stage presence i would like to think i'm...

    What is the Bassline that inspired you to pick up the bass?

    I always loved the bass more than any other instrument in songs. It just always sounded so good and made you wanna move. Decided to buy a 2nd hand bass off a friend for like 30us when I started skateboarding and dookie just came out. That album blew me away, loved the fast booming sound and the...

    Stuck what can I do

    To add to what afro said what helped me with branch out into other parts of the neck was to play the scales in 3 different positions. Starting either on the index middle or ring finger. That way you can work your way through the entire neck you just start on a differnt fingering when you get to...

    now would be a great time to come as we are finally getting rain after like 4 years. if you look out over the desert its like a football pitch of green with these mountains sticking out. there's also a farm in the south that has a pan of lillies that only grow there for 5 days if the pan is full...

    Our first festival

    Wow thanks a lot Cliff.I've been to a festival before but not as a musician on stage so this was a good indication as to what to expect as an artist, cause when your going to a festival to party you have no idea what happens behind the scenes. They don't have a website only a Facebook page...
