Actually. the proper answer is the bible. However terrible you are, you'll be forgiven. 🙂

I stopped taking my bass to our local jam night as it was just too much hassle - either lugging guitar+amp or double bass. Instead I've been taking my violin and improvising harmonies

Nice to see some bass specific programs on TV , definitely worth a look . Apologies if this has been posted before .

Another quick one, the complete Jeff berlin part for 'J.F.K.' from the 1986 Kazumi Watanabe album, 'The Spice Of Life'. Another one of the more accessible Berlin performances that most of us should be able to pull off. https://bilbosbassbites.co.uk/j-f-k-kazumi-watanabe/

How many of her friends are actually playing guitar? If she's playing with more than one and then an inevitable drummer then she will need some volume. Not my thing but a 100 watt Rumble would be a very good start and they are everywhere.

Phew. We are at Tenby Blues Festival. Last night we went to Bella Collins' late night jam. Turned into an epic session ending after 4:00am. Headliner Sean ‘Mack’ McDonald’ joined in and has an incredible touch on guitar (and played a storming boogie woogie onbthe piano after it was meant to have finished). Met a guitarist and singer and stood in for three songs (I have no idea what they were) with them, an excellent saxophonist and a young woman on drums who was really good. Got called up a bit later to support a lady who hadn't sung for a while and got her confidence to sing again. Lots of variety and really captured the feel of a big community of musicians. Our first time here and we're meeting people we know wherever we go.

Just been trying to shoot a PM to @prowla and @cetera and I'm getting a response about the recipients not being able to accept messages? Thanks PAul

FWIW Origin's justification for not making the cab sim defeatable on the current bassrigs, from a conversation via social media, is that it just doesn't sound great - I think a spitty/fizzy top end. Their design philosophy appears to be to minimise bad-sounding possibilities even if it removes some flexibility. I vaguely remember suggesting a carefully-chosen LPF could give a less coloured alternative to a full cab sim. Very interested in what this new pedal offers.

Trolls be trolling... best response is no response (said the hypocrite...)

Oh, I absolutely didn't mean it like that. Transcribe whatever you feel like transcribing. I like to compare and learn. As you said before "The more the merrier!"

Welcome Tiger. Good luck with your therapy venture. It's a great idea.

I've been using a Lekato WS-70 UHF system for a year and a half now (well, two really, safety net if I forget to charge a set during a double gig weekend as I'm bound to do now and again). They have never let me down, the only time I've ever had dropouts is when I've pushed the range a bit too much (usually because I've gone round a corner on a walkabout or something daft). They're compact, sound good to my cloth ears and I've never felt the need to look around for anything better.

The I-vi-ii-V turnaround is common in the last two bars of a jazz blues but like @peteb says, I don't think it's as common in more standard blues.
