Ambient/Post-Rock/Textural bass playing thread

[lordradish]

In other news, I'm going back to stringing the Bordwell 6 to BEADGC.

Although the EADGCF tuning was great for the pedalboard, I found myself not wanting to play the bass at all outside of that context, and given it's my only 6er and I've been doing these great jazz jams with some pros, I miss that damn low B and don't really find the high F as fulfilling in a quartet that already has an incredibly competent guitarist.

And no, don't tell me to get another 6 while I'm sitting here waiting for my 6-er fretless to be built.

I ended up getting a set of DR coated Black Beauties, simply because I haven't tried coated strings yet. I hear a lot of people like em and a lot hate em, so this'll be interesting.

Pretty sure that's all of TB. And most of the music business in general lol.

I think some of the female musicians might disagree, given all the BS they have to put up with every time they post a video of them playing, where their looks get more comments than their playing.

what we personally look like.

wait. we each look like something? i was certain most of this was AI and bots. i still question if that was really @steubig i met in person, or if it was all a dream.

@steubig's so crafty, he might have just sent you a hologram to meet you and you didn't even realize it.

Honestly, when I think of you @Spectrum I think of a young William Shatner for some reason.

It's the garden variety sexism baked into the business.

I grabbed this from Perfect Circuit. Erica was having a sale direct on their site too. I couldn’t pass this up. I’m just digging in and already thinking this is a good sequencer for me.
