  1. Yeah. The list could be long. A specific bassline to rhythm changes? And Misty?
  2. I was reminding myself of Night in Tunisia yesterday, and also, the Real Book suggested intro to Blue Bossa. I was thinking about pretty mainstream jazz that has special basslines with a mind to learning them properly. Herbie Hancock stuff, obviously. What else comes to mind?
  3. Hi Doddy Yes, I know the notes in those chords, so I was wondering whether other bassists would voice them. I realise the feel of the piece would contribute to the decision.
  4. Hmm... OK, cool. I'll have a listen to that one. It would certainly make remembering it easy. By 'one chord' do you mean one note? That's the thing...
  5. Someone I know has written a pop song with chords along these lines: E Aadd9/E Emaj7sus2 Esus4 (x2) E Esus4 , E Esus4 Aadd9/E E Emaj7sus2 So, essentially, it could be open E string throughout! I'm not sure what I would do with it. Put in those voicings? Create an ostinato bass riff? Is there a trick here that I'm not seeing? What would you do, given it's a basic pop style, guitar led song?
  6. Someone has asked me to play a (very simple) bass part to a bit of Bach. I have a basic double bass such as is used for jazz etc. The Bach part goes down to C. Is it feasible to drop the E string down? I know I can try it and see, but I wondered if it was something that was ever done.
  7. Many thanks for all the replies. At a basic level, are people saying it's plausible to put the mic into the Trace, as long as I deal with fb? J
  8. Hello all I've been playing a bit of double bass on Jamulus over the past couple of years - acoustic hot club style trio with 2 guitarists - and now there's a chance of doing an actual live gig (open air, summer). My system for going online has been a simple clip on mic positioned over the F hole, through mixer desk into interface and into PC. I have for my EB, a Trace amp and MarkBass traveler cab. Various PA speakers are available, too. What is the recommended set up for an open air gig - acoustic trio - though guitarists with own amps, presumably? Or what do you do? Many thanks Juliet
  9. Yeah but... it is sadly unusual. I should know.
  10. You definitely should go to Ethernet. I normally play with somewhere between 40 and 50ms delay without too much trouble. However, we are all working towards being able to play with greater delay, as an exercise, and also to play internationally. The US folk are mastering it well and playing with us in Europe quite regularly.
  11. We could have done with you on this. And yes, I did tell them I couldn't play it and would never be able to play it properly but they insisted!
  12. I think so. I have weekly jazz session that has improved my walking bass a lot, and a weekly funk session that has improved my bassline creation and confidence. Then I've had the opportunity to play the double bass with real musicians without having to take it out of the house. This is all remotely through Jamulus. I suppose I should feel guilty that there is no technical practice in there, just playing - but that does have a learning curve.
