How To Record Your Bass Without Breaking The Bank
bass_dinger replied to greghagger's topic in Recording
I recorded myself once. It was pretty dire - elastic timing, uneven volume, poor tone. Sadly, that was all down to me, and not the software. So, I guess that I got the honest review that @greghagger predicted! I will record myself again, therefore, and seek to improve.- 5 replies

I like it! Elements of a Rick, and a more usable scale length. My own mandolin is a laminate top, and has poor tone. With so little wood to vibrate, the quality of the material is more important than for larger instruments, perhaps? Once I retire, I will invest more time in music - mandolin included

Advice on 2nd hand midi synths on a budget
bass_dinger replied to FelixGubbins's topic in Other Instruments
I have been looking for something like this for a long while - thanks for sharing! Organ bass pedals in kit form - rather than breaking down a home organ just the parts... -
I have the top half of a conductor's stand, with a 20mm female fitting. I need the bottom half - the legs and the stem. Does any company sell the bottom half separately?

I am surprised at how inexpensive these are, on Facebook marketplace. And they sound and feel good to me, too. I would have gone for one myself, eventually, were it not for the 50 quid Kurzweil in Cash Converters. Keyboards will teach one harmony - and, apparently, once one develops a good left hand technique, you can do everything a bassist does . . ..,

What keyboard did you end up with?

Sweet Caroline and boxing - a song to punch people to... Have you ever heard it played by a ukulele band?

You are right - even the songs with a distinct bass riff don't _need_ it for the congregation to be able to sing it. However, there is this song... And this Each have distinct riffs that are beyond me!

How Deep ( and my finger, too...) in 6 4 4 4 Is there a name for alternating bars that flip between two time signatures? I am told that Bernstein's America does the same, between 3/4 and 6/8.

@Rosie CThis YouTube video is a very typical version of this song - no strong rhythm, and the bass line playing on the chord changes. And here is me playing over it, using the written music. how_deep2.wav

Yes. When I first learned it, I was not aware of the alternating time signatures (although I realised that the timing was peculiar, about the same time that I spotted that the words didn't rhyme!). I play on the chord changes rather than try to create a rhythm, and let the vocalists and congregation carry the song. I can try to create a recording of what I do, if you are desperate....

I give you Dancing in the Street - the Silent Music video. No music at all - "It's like two drunk mates making their way home from the pub. " Watch it and laugh. . . . Dancing in the Street -- Silent Music Video - YouTube.url

Saddle Up and Ride Your Pony by David Christie It's cheesy, and he may even be miming to the bass line . . . However, I have managed to avoid it for 30 years, simply because the people who schedule radio playlists like it as much as I do . . . David Christie - Saddle Up (Official Music Video) - YouTube.url

Two minutes? That's not even one song! Or is that the point that you are making - even one song would be too long!

Burn the heretic 😄 I thought it better to burn the banjo, and have stern words with the heretic.
