Blue or white ocbd, chambray or linen shirt depending on temp, jeans and either leather loafers or chukkas depending on season. Dressier gigs I’ll wear a navy or gray suit w either a solid navy, burgundy, chocolate or black silk knit tie.

thelonious monk's the clear choice for me...he was a brilliant composer, i love playing and hearing others play his songs, but his piano style was too much for me to get over. it took me probably four conscious attempts to get into keith jarrett...his music is perfect, but i could never get...

you know what'd be a solid choice? vintage g&l l1000/2000. /not sure if those have been mentioned

that's where i came from...maiden > yngwie > dream theater > mahavishnu orchestra > jazz

not disagreeing with you but i just had to laugh since it reminded me of when i met al dimeola, who had an air of "you're happy that im here."

it's the best education for someone that wants to be a professional performing musician. jazz is just a word for the language of improvised music over sliding harmonic foundations...that translates to every single musical form we have, or will have...hence it being such a strong musical...

youll always be haunted if you sell the spector.

michael league was enrolled in one of the best jazz programs in the world.

mine's in guitar, not bass...but the answer is still 100% unequivocally absolutely yes yes yes yes yes

i agree regarding the traditional-bent of most jazz studies departments...i cant speak for bass, but i studied jazz guitar at an elite school, and played an eric johnson strat as my main guitar. it did garner conversation back in 2004-6 when almost everyone else had a box or es-335 style, but...

Lol cmon it’s not THAT bad

totally agree.

some of the relic'd pics from my MJT p-bass...i love the faux headstock dents

im only on my 3rd month of TI flats (p-bass) and have had this internal debate... i absolutely love the tension and feel, but i didnt think the solo'd tone was any meaningfully different from la bellas to ghs to chromes. i heard significant differences in tone when i listen to online tests...

ps...i cant get a good pic capturing mint to save my life.

agreed on mint

get a red bass and nobody will see the blood stains

From the Cleveland area so I think anecdotal evidence is somewhat relevant...probably played every p bass in a 50 mile radius of cle over the past 9 mos. ended up building an Mjt p, but the MIA fender was the clear winner of the ones you mentioned. Only tried one Lakland but the MIA was a notch...

agreed that painting is a far, far, FARRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR more visceral and primal image than any use of the f-word could be. that painting's in the cleveland museum of art...i had to take a pic of it it was so ridiculous, i was rolling on the ground laughing. what usage of the f-word could...

Is this artistic? It’s as sophomoric as you seem to believe swearing is.

Are we going to say we can’t use b5’s now? As a christian does the tritone offend you?

a lot of great suggestions here... in terms of practical ways to improve, one gist i got was that you're feeling overwhelmed by the amount of data youre being asked to process. this is natural and nothing to be ashamed of. one of the ways ive found success in is by breaking down my practice...

Freakin love em but...snarky puppy is too twee and immature a name for a band as good as they are

say youre in a band jamming in A minor and you play a C# calling it a b11...an audience will not care that it's a b11, no matter how theoretically correct it may or may not be...but they will be annoyed that someone is playing a C# when everyone else would be playing a C natural at that point...

before your next gig, carry a metronome around the stage, turning the speed up faster and faster, and when youre standing between him and his pedalboard, then say "hell yes." he'll be confused...as guitarists are wont...and will likely ask what you're doing. put the metronome in your pocket...
