and also I have learned today that tiktok embeds nicely on basschat. who knew!

Luckily someone has a search engine. It's on tiktok as well! Good job I'm totally down with the young folk.

I always don't** sing when playing bass ** can't

I was quite surprised when I heard the same thing here (in the last thirty seconds or so)

Late to the party! Happy JMJ Mustang owner here, photo here from recent jam night which I've had to snip closely as there was some political commentary behind me (surprisingly it's not "I Love Boris"), and the guy with the camera had trouble not getting someone's pointy headstock in the way of me. Also worth pointing out that the bassist in the house band plays a short scale Wilcock. He's often generous to ask if I fancy a go, but I'm worried I'll bosh it on something 😧 that's probably it behind me.

greetings from Planet SE4

Somewhere I have a list for this kind of thing. Of course I can't find it now 🤔 But well done for specifiying arrival/reflection/departure, I'd never considered it like that. But anyway, off the top of my head and subject to change: Arrival - Driver, Phish Reflection - something from Brian Eno & Friends "Apollo", probably An Ending (Ascent) or Deep Blue Day Departure - Days, probably the Kirsty MacColl version for those unfamiliar with Phish, here's Driver "I'll tell you about the driver who lives inside my head Starts me up and stops me and puts me into bed He opens up my mouth when it's time for me to talk Fires up my legs when he wants me to walk Keeps my eyes open most of the day Adds to my memory the things that people say When he makes decisions I don't have to wait But sometimes it seems he's got to much on his plate Like this morning when I woke up and he dressed me in this shirt That looks a little ragged where he dragged me through the dirt I'm moving through this life and I'm thinking about the next And hoping when I get there I'll be better dressed"

Bit confused Dave - did you used to own the white 4/8-string as well? (I can't remember what the original ebay link above pointed to). Which is it you're looking for? Have you asked in the Shergold forum? It's a small but knowledgable and friendly bunch. https://www.shergold.co.uk/forum/

tin-foil hat? otherwise I'm delighted to hear that there's a functioning rehearsal room in SE London. Can you share details please?

I wonder if it'll be a "new retail experience" (ie no actual stock, lots of distractions) in the new thing by Denmark St

100% this. I have a massive box of effects at home and I've resigned myself to the fact that I'm not going to get massively better at any technique after 300 years of playing, so I'm venturing in other directions for expanding my interest and enthusiasm for my instrument. Obviously I recognise that the audience for this is realistically one, ie me Meanwhile at jam night I'm happy to knock out Autumn Leaves for the millionth time and get a polite round of applause for a nice plummy walking line. Sometimes the band even nod their approval, or maybe they're just falling asleep.

My amp has a pedal with four switches. Please advise

tea chest, string, fingers crossed for quiet audience

Are these lyrics from the new Tool album?

The Bass Of We're Doomed

Didn't know Jaco played on Joyce Grenfell numbers?

Hello, Can we merge my thread Off Topic/NY Times Connections into the Wordle thread in the same section? (which now includes Quordle and Digits of a similar ilk) Just so it looks a bit less like I'm yelling to myself in a locked room. thanks! Tone

It's simple, just learn to play like this

It's great - Probably the last decent album they did, for my ears anyway.

I'd say "for bass playing in general", but anyway. This is funny. Bonus points: he can also shove the mic out of his face using his nose. I have actually seen this happen.

I once went through Rush live albums to work out where Geddy's voice went from being ok to starting to show signs of wobbling. I can't remember what the answer was now, but it sounds like as good as an excuse as any to listen to those live albums again.

ok, but maybe therein lie the answers you seek (takes off 6th form Ayn Rand lyricist cape)

Oh I get it you work for SBL and you're trying to drive up views of their most recent mailout video

Oh I quite like them. But then again there are quite a few bands I don't like as well.

I noticed Saw X is out soon
