    Have you lost your enthusiasm?

    I've been listening to Ren for the past few months. It should be everything I hate about music on paper. Any kind of urban/ rap / hip hop normally has me running for the hills. But the guy is exceptionally talented and so much more than that. Mixing amazing guitar playing and vocals with superb lyrics. 

     

    Hi Ren was the first track of his I discovered, and the lyric " Some people know me as hope. Some people know me as the voice that you hear when you loosen the noose on the rope" absolutely destroys me every time I hear it. 

     

    Been there, and that voice saved my life. Literally. 

    All of the above.

    There were tears. Good ones.

    Firstly Jon and Jo my heart felt condolences to you both...

    I had lost my enthusiasm too, due to family bereavement and the free-fallout that followed. 

    My advice is to find some new music to inspire you that is in the now and has no memories attached.  It's a fresh step forward. 

    I recently found out that this young lad exists - Ren. He's inspired the hell out of me. I recommend checking him out if you haven't heard of him. Maybe you have - I've only just crawled back out from under my rock after all. 

     

    There's no bass on this one and there is swearing, but it's well placed.

    One of my relo's told me a 'dark sound' is the sigh you involuntarily give after having a sip of this...

    I concur. First sip is basically half a pint. Unless it's that extra cold rubbish. Then it's a dark dark sound due to brain freeze 😆

    Best Way for a newbie to learn bass..

    First step would be to get whatever bass you have set up correctly - nice low action (so the strings are not really high off the fingerboard), nut slots are cut correctly for the same reason and to ensure that the intonation is good (so what you play sounds good and in tune).

     

    Making sure all this is done first will ensure that your learning experience will be a pleasant and fun one seeing that you won't have to fight the instrument needlessly. 

    I wish I knew this when I started learning! I would have progressed a lot quicker if I had known.

    Fake Rickenbacker?

    in Bass Guitars

    Posted

    I don't think Rickenbacker have made C64s for a decade or more so would have had the dual trussrods (especially because they were the more pricey "vintage correct" model. Kinda. A right handed version of a lefty...They also didn't have a zero fret.

    I'm going for a HW custom order tribute passed on as genuine. 

    Happy to be wrong but that's where I'd place my bet.
