...thank you?
And SVT, +a zillion. I really only look to a tab anymore if there's a really complex and intricate line that can be difficult and time consuming to transcribe by ear, but even then it's only to get note placement; everything else comes from listening to the groove on the track. In fact, I tell anyone I talk to to look at the chord charts or notation, if they can read it, because a tab shows you where you're playing, but not what you're playing. I think it's much more beneficial for a bass player to know note placement rather than just fret numbers, and I did the latter for far too long to easily break that habit.
I'm sorry if you heard condescension in that sentence, or even the rest of that paragraph, as it was neither felt nor intended.
IMO, this is the big disadvantage to holding a conversation on a forum. In a face-to-face conversation, body language and a host of other signals make our intentions obvious, but a short sentence on a computer screen loses all those nuances.
That said, I stand by my post, at least as I intended it to be read. To clarify:
- I didn't call the click a crutch or a cheat.
- I mean to didn't criticize anyone else's use of a click.
- I didn't say that it should never be used.
On the contrary, I started out with a general expression of preference, then I explained why, and closed with a specific example of a situation where a click would be extremely helpful: in an environment where communications between the team members is obstructed by destructive interference from room echoes, distance or other factors.
We both seem to agree on this last point. Your mention of leading out a song at a very slow tempo, and of the need to synchronize with media clips from a remote location seem to support my position.
Thanks exaltbass & blueline1 & everyone as always a lot of encouragement here.
Glory to Christ!

Very cool. Had no idea that you were without a bass though. I will need to pay closer attention to the thread.
Greetings! New to the site and forums, and looking forward to learning from all the fellow Praise and Worship bass artists here!
Any tips using the forum or this group, please let me know!

Just posted this pic in the Jazz Bass forum as well.
It is a 2006 MIM lined-fretless with 60's CS pups.
It was at my house for a few days before moving on to young gal from my church who plays an upright bass at school.
I hope to see/hear it played at church one day.
I never played a fretless before. It was pretty cool.

That is gorgeous. Need to get a fretless again and soon...
A beautiful 72 degrees greeting from Austin Texas. God is good! Amen? You just want to find His thermostat and lock this in.
It's really awesome that someone thought to acknowledge worship bassists with their own forum. I've enjoyed reading through it so far.
Might I request a number please?

Thanks for keeping the numbers. But I noticed you missed Geri O who requested one a few pages back.
Tough Sunday. First service (traditional) went long, soundcheck went short so I never could really hear myself, so listened to the drums very carefully and timed my fingers. Weeeellll, during a quiet spot, I discovered my fancy new tuner gave me a drop D tune on the E. So instead of trying to think through the adjustment, I avoided the E until I could tune again. This with the new WD being introduced as well.
This in addition to cuts in songs and of songs to adjust for time. Pretty busy Sunday.
hope everybody elses went better.

My buddy Jacob Moon uses one. Cool effect- the thump seems to pick up the pitch of the lower notes from his guitar, so it sounds like there's a bass line there.
If course, out of loyalty to my instrument, I pretend to hate it...
I'm thinking of getting one to play at camp where I'm often leading on acoustic guitar. Also seriously considering hooking on up to a throne thumper so I can help one of our drummers keep time.
I think I asked for a quick intro first.
It's not my club so I'm happy to take people's views on it. When someone asks for a number is it right to ask for a bit of information about them first? With most bass clubs you'd need a picture first - with this one should people at least confirm they're a P&W bassist?
