Friday afternoon went well ^^ Apart from our bari getting up at the end and spectaularly knocking over her stand.. At least the judges giggled!

I may have to check out this book.

Aria IGB40. Because i'm weak and it's light. I absolutely love it xD But i'm going into town today, probably just to look at what i can't afford. But i'm now officially saving.

I really like the sound that my double bass makes, i'll find what make it is etc because i'm not actually sure.. But i agree, i looked around for ages till i found a bass which made a sound that i liked. And i felt slightly mean because i didn't like the first one the shop ordered in for me.. But with that much money i decided i could afford to be choosey. And i got educational discount ^^

If i ever get stuck with basslines in the back of my head, i hum them into the voice recorder on my phone. Then i translate them whenever i have the time.. It's just annoying when people look through my phone. >_>

I think my life would be complete if i could master slap bass. I don't know why i'm so, so drawn to it.

I very much doubt it =P Thankyou for your replies. ^^

I saw someone else was 16 on here too, but he sounds way more talented than i am =P I've been playing double bass since i was 9, but have only really thrown myself back into it in the last 6 months or so. I took my grade 6 and am working towards my grade 7.. Unfortunately, last year around January till September, due to boyfriend issues and GCSEs, i didn't play much - The outcome of this being i've picked up some bad habits on double bass which i'm currently trying to unlearn. As for bass guitar playing, i've never had a paid lesson, but got lucky at the London guitar show in 2005 - I entered a competition and won, meaning that i got a week free course up at the Institute in London! One of the best experiences of my life! =P On Double Bass i'm looking to join an orchestra in my area.. I was in the Youth Orchestra and could possibly rejoin.. But i don't know.. I sort of left unofficially before and i doubt they like me there very much anymore. Bass guitar i'm in a group called Jazz Workshop - We're playing in the music for youth festival this Friday, and i have a solo *Is Proud* We're playing Better Get Hit In Yo' Soul by Charlie Mingus I do love his songs. I own a double bass, Aria bass guitar, a cute little keyboard and Sonar editing software. I'm called Alice. Hello ^^
