I did a bad thing last night...

[Big Hoss]

I got tired of practicing songs I am learning for our setlist, and mind you, for the most part, I am a 5 string player, but I started noodling around on the 4 string jazz.

I found a drum loop that i could work with, and just sort of locked in, started walking to "this or that sounds right" until I just found the groove I wanted, but something, was missing....

Before I knew it, I had the 5 string off the wall, and spent the rest of my practice time just sort of walking around the low end with the low B giving me what I was looking for...

this is something of which you should only speak to your rabbi or pastor.

You can expect a visit from Phil, the Prince of Insufficient Light, some time soon. He will probably darn you to Heck; maybe a couple of hours locked in a practice room with a very egotistical keyboard player...

Ah yes, Phil, the master of the pitchspoon!

 

[Ghastly]

sounds groovy to me!

Our little boy is turning into a songwriter - they grow up so fast...

I am speechless.

I'm having trouble following when you switched from the 5 string to the 5 string.

 

[Chico Ruger]

this is something of which you should only speak to your rabbi or pastor.

Or perhaps your therapist.

Or a drummer that can't keep time...

Typo. Started out on the 4 string Squier Jazz, ended up on the 5 string SX Ursa 2... Just kind of hit it in the pocket and went with it... Not sure if it makes sense, I usually don't dig playing my 5, but this just sounded and felt right...

Forgive me father for I have played a 5 string bass? Oh wait, I'm not Catholic... Hmmmm...

 

[Jefff]

What is this..."5 string" you speak of?????

 

[jjmuckluckjr]

So, the problem is that you consider a 4 string beneath you? Or the bass isn't bassy enough? Sure you're not a guitar player in denial. You just need one more string.

 

[Clef_de_fa]

wow if using a 5 is bad then I'm done ... so many years on the 6 strings ... and fretless too

 

[Kirk Bryant]

Perhaps you might consider a 10 string as there is just so much more groovalicious room to walk about on.

a life without frets is a life without sin. go forth and fifth and sixth and lead by example the lost to the right and true path

 

[Big Hoss]

Oh you guys are funny...

I am just saying this B string seems a bit addictive... Or at least an awful lot of fun to mess around on...

Sadly, SX doesn't make a 5 string PJ... But the J is awfully nice!

I Hope you don't fry Iin hell for such a sin !!

Well....I'm a pastor (and a bass player) and I approve of this message....
