Plugging the bass into the output of my pedal board when setting up and wondering why I'm getting no signal, is something I have done more than once 😐 Never happens in rehearsal.

All of mine, then

...indeed.

Have we done "$hitney Houston"?

I'm sure they do their checks, but makes you wonder why someone who made the decision to purchase such a niche bass would decide to part with it via CC? I guess there are all sorts of scenarios which could explain it....

The thing is I have yet to rehearse with this band, first time I met them was at the venue for the first gig! There are no sheets/charts, so was a character building experience! Seems like they're likely to offer me more gigs (already got a couple booked), in which case a rehearsal so I can try the backing vocals in a less pressured environment doesn't feel too unreasonable!

Based on the trailer, I'm not holding out much hope. The celeb cameos feel like a portent of doom to me. I'm not sure that ever works, does it? I really do hope it turns out to be decent.

Thanks all, I guess like any new skill you just have to apply yourself consistently and accept you'll be crap to start with. It's not so much the technicalities of singing (although I'm no singer, sadly) it's the working out how my brain can learn to unlink the singing from the playing bit.

I'm reaching out to the BC community in the hope that some amongst you will have been the process and can offer some advice. For years I've managed to avoid singing backing vocals, but I've begun depping for a band and it's clear it would be beneficial if I could add a bit of vocals on choruses etc. Problem is I've never been able to sing and play at the same time! When I play I feel so mentally 'locked in' that I struggle to even speak or respond off someone talks to me, let alone sing 😂 Strumming an acoustic I can sort of do it, but bass feels like a wholly different challenge. I've been playing for years, so it's quite a way into my playing career to learn, but for those of you that have been through similar, how did you crack it?! How ever McCartney, Lee etc do it is beyond me?!!

That is a large increase! Did they explain why (sorry if you've explained elsewhere, sneaky work-based forum browsing!)?
