And I'm going to play ABOVE the 7th fret, maybe even a NON-root note. Top THAT if you can!Please be sure to relentlessly stare at your shoes, and insult the bar staff.![]()
I think if everyone just had more shake n' bake chicken and some fruit punch, we'd be a lot happier and not need the false gods of Tort and Flat. Not that there's anything wrong with those things.
Next gig I'm going to wear shorts, no shirt, sunglasses, a hat, sandals, and play with a music stand!
Thanks for the reminder!Don't forget to play with a well-cared for newer bass through a modern, clean sounding amp.
Of course he didn't do that. It was a 110 and 415.At least you didn't mix cabs..... uh..... did you?

OK. And I'm going to bring my 1 - 15" cabinet and pair it with my 4 - 10" cabinet and throw in an 18" speaker for more bass!Don't forget to wear socks with those sandals!

I've tried numerous times to like flats, still at least once a year I buy a set and put them on a P bass or a Jazz bass only to realize what I already know. They sound dead and lifeless.
As far as Tort guards, they are ok on a white or natural bass, but some folks think they go on everything. Your bass is neon green? Tort guard it is
I figured out how they make tort guards

I always felt the same way you do until I tried Thomastik Jazz Flats! They're fantastic!
