If I did lend them an instrument, it would be on the understanding that they either provided their own strings or bought me a new set.
-
It depends. To a total stranger no, but then again my instrument isn’t a normal bass. Though I did offer to lend it to a friend recently, I know he’d look after it.

Baited Breath? What new releases are you looking forward to?

Porcupine Tree release a new album pretty soon. -
A bass. It’s how you play it.

My prediction for the UK’s entry. FullSizeRender.MOV

Thank you. I’m hoping to find some funk or RnB to offer the students a choice of song to work on.

There’s a few things I learned years ago that I still remember: the opening bars from Teen Town for example. Other than that I don’t know any songs or bass parts. Memorising parts just seems a bit pointless and time consuming, for me at least anyway. If I’m ever asked to play something specific I’ll just transcribe it and play it from a chart.

Brilliant. Thank you 🙏.

I have to teach a workshop on mixing and mastering at a music college I teach at. I’m on the lookout for stems that I can use in the workshop: bass, drums, guitar etc. Does anyone know where I can get them please?

The Darkglass Element is a fabulous practice tool. it has a built in tuner and can work as an audio interface. The cab sim library is fantastic. -
This is another favourite of mine. Steve’s a fabulous fretless player, his intonation is impeccable, and such beautiful phrasing. https://music.apple.com/gb/album/grace-and-gratitude/208160961?i=208160972

Michael Manring, the enormous room. I started transcribing and learning this a while ago. The tuning is really complicated on it, he uses the de-tuners on his Hyperbass throughout. https://music.apple.com/gb/album/the-enormous-room/1595552826?i=1595552846

Something I have noticed on Facebook marketplace, is there’s now an option to ‘buy it now’ and complete the purchase through Facebook. How does that work, protection-wise?
-
I had them recently. I thought it was someone messing about, a prank. I just deleted the messages and blocked the senders.

Maybe Strings direct price represents an increased price from the distributor, if theirs is newer stock?

A friend of mine was going to see this tonight. I’m glad it was good, didn’t realise Guy Pratt was on bass duties.

I only have one bass, I’ve only had one for years. The last time I owned more than one was as a student, that was only briefly. I think the last time I took two basses to a gig was about twenty years ago. I played onboard a cruise ship for a month about twelve years ago, though I did have two instruments with me, only one ever left the cabin.

I’m on my lonesome vote-wise playing on lonesome.

My mum once unplugged someone’s microphone, they were making a racket and annoying her. The ‘singer’ was slightly drunk and didn’t realise, he blamed the microphone.

I don’t know tbh, I haven’t used that particular feature. I’ll check next time I’m using it. -
I’ve only had one for ages. It does have 6 strings though, so does it count as 1.5? 😆
-
No.
