Oh, and by the way, before my chronic fatigue kicked in and put me back to bed, I tried a little sight reading. Just to see what, if any, impact all this has had. Not just the transcription work, but also the online tuition via @Zoltan Dekany's website. I was amazed. I'm still nowhere near able, but the improvement was clear and unarguable. Playing without reference to the fretboard, looking ahead while playing, good finger choices, not confusing notes with those from the treble clef (a chronic headache) as often. I really think it is all having a positive impact. None of which would apply without the good people here on Basschat.

I rely on musescore playing it back to me to know how the score sounds. Obviously not perfect but literally the only option. The two examples I gave sound identical to one another. I understand the difference as you've explained it, so thank you. As far as spacing goes, next time I sit down for a musescore lesson (as opposed to a transcription lesson) I will address this. Much love and gratitude for all the help.

Fantastic thank you so much

I did buy a bluetooth receiver to plug into the aux in of my current headphone set up, so one less cable

Well I did it. I resisted temptation. I haven't been earning but neither have I been spending so I had a month of petrol money left with the spiders and bird droppings in my current account. Saved myself by spending it.

😬

written where?

Yeah that's not really gas though is it 😅 Far too rational

so now I want the pedal board @Hellzerojust introduced me to. You couldn't make it up. Only reading this thread to chuckle at the ridiculous nature of GAS, I have four pedal boards already, seldom use any of them. As to the OP, I do the same thing. I get something that works, fall for it, and end up wanting a harem of the things. Whatever 'thing' it may be.

Thank you @jrixn1. Appreciate your help. It seems I need to just keep on with this until the hard and fast rules, the accepted conventions and the whatever works best, all become less tangled!

🤦🏼‍♂️

* goes weak at the knees *

I wish you'd all stop trying to make me buy something I really don't need.

is there an accepted rule as to how many bars before I use repeat lines. say if I have 8 bars then they're repeated should I use the repeat sign bar lines, but if its only 4 bars then just write the four out again? And if I later use DC al coda will those repeat bars count again when they're reached second time through?

the second one then. Thank you 🙏

Shame sharing patches didn't work, this is incredibly long winded!!! Also just tried it with a different bass and it utterly fails, so there may be very little value in sharing these anyway

Also if anyone has a minute, I'm getting a little bit knotted up over repeats

Hi guys and gals, I have a question. I can show a bar of music two ways. Both sound correct when Musescore plays them back to me but which (if either) is the correct or more acceptable way to write them?

🤣🤣🤣

Today I discovered that Bad News Tour actually came before Spinal Tap. Which is awesome because I always loved it but there was that little voice in my head whispering, it's a bit derivative though isn't it

Meanwhile here are a couple of Amp sim patches. Just examples of what kind of thing you can do. first one kind of Ampeggie second one kind of Tracey https://drive.google.com/file/d/1-tgCDoKaShJRdZa_9zL_rSNKaFsG2wLU/view?usp=sharing

Your files are all .zb1xf and mine are .zb1f I changed the extension cos, well you never know - but nada

It was from the one 37 minutes ago just a few posts up. But they are different file types, I'm looking for a workaround but... you can't use patches from different pedals.

I shall do that - humour me and try downloading the one I just uploaded in case I did something wrong the first time (the patch is better now too) EDIT: don't bother! It is incompatibility of the two pedals.
