is it possible to play drums and bass well...?
andydye replied to lowdowner's topic in General Discussion
I find that the 'extras' (drums, acoustic guitar, electric guitar, mandolin, keys, whatever) go in seasons but bass is my main thing, I could do any of the others in a band but bass is [i]my[/i] thing! -

I'd say yes as I can and do each new instrument I add makes me think differently about the other ones I play and improve on them too -

[quote name='woodyratm' timestamp='1349354633' post='1825169'] I don't understand us music types. We blow tons of cash against stuff to make the noise, but when it comes to protection we seem to ignore it. The custom ones are great - I got because my hearing is already mong'd. At 23 thats pretty rubbish. Get ones which are comfy to wear and allow you to hear everything. My ACS ones were 140 odd and it's the best purchase I've made. Practice sounds better since I'm not being deafened. I wouldn't substitute decent ones just cause other ones are cheap. I've used ER15s, Alpine, foam blah blah and always felt they removed the wrong frequencies or were just not comfy (ER15s made my ear itch). [/quote] Which ACS ones you got matey? These the right folks?

Recent threads about how you do your covers got me wondering aout how the basschat population is made up, what proportion of us get their musical kicks from mostly playing covers or mostly playing originals or mostly in your bedroom/lounge/whatever... I'm a mostly covers player, I do help out a few friends who gig occasionally with their singer/songriter output but it's not as often as I'd like! Neither is the covers band really but it's the most frequent thing I do...

I learn any critical bits note for note and any other bits are a bonus if I get them note for note too, as long as it swings like the original and any memorable bits are right I don't worry too much, over time I develop 'my way' of playing the song which generally still involves any 'don't mess with it' bits an the rest may be tweaked to suit the way we play it...

I use these: [url="http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Alpine-Music-safe-pro-reusable-attenuating-earplugs-hearing-protection-ear-plugs-/330687547031?pt=UK_BOI_ProtectiveGear_RL&hash=item4cfe838697"]http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Alpine-Music-safe-pro-reusable-attenuating-earplugs-hearing-protection-ear-plugs-/330687547031?pt=UK_BOI_ProtectiveGear_RL&hash=item4cfe838697[/url] THey really help cut down on the noise level but still let me listen to a balanced sound, I literally never leave the house without mine!

[s]Still clearing the drawers out...came across these adaptors from when I had ehx pedals, they're the blue ones, now the pedals are all gone I don't need these adaptors anymore... They'll work with any boss type adaptor, you'd need to check whether they play nicely with your other pedals on the same power supply though...I used them with my diago with no problems (small clone, small stone) Apparently also good for rat and dod pedals...I didn't know that mint condition. [attachment=120017:IMAG0805.jpg] [b]1 left[/b] They're £7 new, so, £5 inc UK postage (or £4 + postage)?[/s]

[quote name='krysh' timestamp='1347320808' post='1799423'] my custom jazz 4 got a new pickguard, not everybodies but my taste, I love it. [/quote] Here's what happened to the body Krysh's neck came from...it got a fretless job installed by BassDoc! The Geddy body with Dimarzio Model J's and Schaller bridge marries beautifully with the new neck, looks kinda cool too in a very simple sort of way [url=http://www.flickr.com/photos/andy_dye/8022896313/][/url] [url=http://www.flickr.com/photos/andy_dye/8022896313/]DPP_2505[/url] by [url=http://www.flickr.com/people/andy_dye/]andydye[/url], on Flickr [url=http://www.flickr.com/photos/andy_dye/8022896965/][/url] [url=http://www.flickr.com/photos/andy_dye/8022896965/]DPP_2504[/url] by [url=http://www.flickr.com/people/andy_dye/]andydye[/url], on Flickr [url=http://www.flickr.com/photos/andy_dye/8022897501/][/url] [url=http://www.flickr.com/photos/andy_dye/8022897501/]DPP_2503[/url] by [url=http://www.flickr.com/people/andy_dye/]andydye[/url], on Flickr
