Ambient/Post-Rock/Textural bass playing thread

About the same for me I guess. Ambient electronica or whatever you want to call it has become my main hobby in the past year.

My teenagers are much more self sufficient now and I have a lot more available time lately. Getting into synths has really invigorated my interest in playing. One great thing about electronic instruments is that it is entirely possible to have a fun jam by yourself.

Playing solo bass is not so fun for me personally. I've done way more playing in groups than by myself.
Teens, I'll cross that bridge once face to face with it.

:dead:

One of them has to take me in when I'm gonna need diapers!!!!!
HAHA, you're turn now!!!!
 
Organized the bass workstation a bit. New Cioks DC7 supply under the pedal board keeps things tidy.

For those keeping score, that's a distortion crossover using the Transmutron + DA120 + Wizard + OCSD. The resulting two signals route to the Terminal, which has the Empress Delay inserted in each FX loop, and the two delay engines can run independently for the clean & dirty signals. That routes each of the two signals to the mixer, with the Reverb on the mixer's FX loop. There's a PO-32 drum machine there which also routes to the mixer+Reverb.

Now to finish my non-ambient non-bass track so I can get back to droning away on this.
