  1. There are so many compositions that have real meaning ('If I Had A Hammer', 'Blowing In The Wind', 'Sunday, Bloody Sunday' and hundreds more...). Personally, I'd much rather play stuff with real meaning than innocuous, bland, 'filler' stuff, whatever culture it's originally from. To me, human is human; the rest is simply coincidence of birth time and place. I see no problem here. Peace.
  2. Human morphology has not evolved much since 1950.
  3. If you're amp-less, how are you planning to hear your own bass..? From the rehearsal/gig stage monitors (if existant and capable...)..? With ear-phones, fed from the pedal..? Wired, or wireless..? How will the other players and (if relevant...) the FOH for the audience, hear the bass..? Standard practice for FOH is a feed from a DI box, which the bass plugs into. Is that all that you require, even for rehearsal..? The question needs fleshing out a little, I think.
  4. Done; thanks for the 'heads-up'.
  5. Not many of my trousers have carriers for wearing a belt. I rely on their elasticity; it can be embarrassing if this starts to fail whilst I'm carrying something in both arms, for instance.
  6. Our Eldest held down the role of Principal Guitar in a successful Rock/Ska/Punk band (Kiemsa...) for a few years, and has never held a car licence. It fell upon his conciliatory father (myself...) to fulfil taxi duties, to such a point that I ended up carting most of the whole band to gigs, all over France, in the 7-seater Renault Espace I had at the time. I hired a horse-box-sized trailer for the hardware (PA, lights, all the back-line and stage props...), and operated the FOH and lights for them during the gigs. Do you have a conciliatory father/neighbour/partner/buddy willing and able to do likewise..?
  7. Blondy's photo...
  8. Can you not change the key of your playback system..? Any track in Reaper, for instance (other DAW's are available...) can be transposed up or down, without changing tempo. Worth looking into..?
  9. One from this stable, it would seem ... Shuker Custom Bass ...
  10. Here's our well-deserved Round of Applause...
  11. It may be a bit of a 'Dahu hunt', looking for the cause. I have noticed many times a 'slipping' of synchro, on my own and many other more professional videos, which I attribute to You-Tube itself, and for which there is no cure that I know of. It's not much of an issue in your video; it's more troublesome when trying to match what a drummer is doing, especially after twenty minutes of drift..! As for the video itself, I'll admit to not being an uber-fan of whatever brand of metal this is, but it certainly respects its genre. I have several audio systems here, and even through the 'big speakers', it's very difficult to distinguish the bass notes, as you're tuned down so low. This is not criticism; it's part of the genre. I expect, 'live' through a decent sub-equipped FOH system, the walls would tremble adequately. I'll admit, too, that I could distinguish little of the lyrics, but, that, too, is part and parcel, and anyway, I'm old, so... A Good Video, then, all the better for being your first (of many..?). Good Stuff, well done. Douglas
