Definitely some core work to help if possible. I don't know the OP's situation, but some work on the glutes and hamstrings might help - strengthening these other areas of the posterior kinetic chain can reduce the load on your back. Hip-thrusts, Romanian deadlifts, rear leg raises possibly? I've got a herniated disc at the base of my spine and a crushed T6 vertebra, and these exercises have made an enormous difference to my back health.

Yep, I'm one of those weirdoes that doesn't like short sleeve shirts, but rolls the sleeves up on a long sleeve shirt! As for gigs, I usually wear T shirt, as our gigs inevitably end up with me sweating like a glass-blower's derriere... 🥵

Anthem by Rush. Just getting started and oh yes, this is a fun one to play!
-
Ah.... young minds, untainted by drink and drugs.... Plus youngsters tend to have less considerations about playing and just get on with it while we older folks tend to spend more time worrying how much of a ballache it's going to be before picking up the instrument.

Hi there, I'm not looking for trades at the moment as I am trying to reduce the number of basses I have. Many thanks for the offer though. 🙂 -
Normally I'd be blue, but that shade looks a little too anaemic for me. Not normally a fan of red basses, but in this case it brings out the grain a treat... and I prefer the pickguard with it too.

Ozrics is always a winner in those circumstances. Shpongle hits the same spot too... 😎
-
I discovered his own stuff quite by accident, courtesy of YT algorithm. Excellent stuff. Reminds me of Greg Howe on occasion, too, which is always a winner.

I'll have a full listen later. Just into the 2nd track I like it so far! Thank you, good sir! 😁

Fender American Pro Jazz Bass MN in Natural. Made in 2020 Mint condition - no chips, dings, buckle rash, drunken scrapes or other damage. Blemish on the scratchplate is in the plastic cover, which I never removed. Ungigged. Home use only in a smoke-free environment. Seemingly bomb-proof case, complete with keys, and all case candy is present and correct. Weight 4.6kg Great bass, as you'd expect, but I need to thin the herd down to 3. I use mainly active basses so this, being the only passive bass, has to go. £900 including Royal Mail delivery to mainland U.K.

That's you in the corner....

Why should every Bass Player worship Status Quo?
odysseus replied to TJ1's topic in General Discussion
Loved them when I was 11 to 12 years old, then I discovered Maiden and Sabbath, and the Quo were dispensed with. Got me into rock though.... 🙂 -
How come The Beatles are rarely ever played on the radio?
odysseus replied to Barking Spiders's topic in General Discussion
Planet Rock needs to be renamed Planet Easy Listening after some of the playlists I've experienced on there of late... -
Yup. This is pretty much standard down our way.
-
Holy sh!t, that was freaking fantastic!!! Very well done, sir! 🤘 😎
-
Crikey! That's a blast from the past. I was a 15 year old guitar aficionado back then. I loved Kyoji Yamamoto's playing!
-
Oh man, that would be immense!!! 😎😁 EDIT: I'd never heard of Dead Letter Circus. I have now - just checked them out. Great stuff! Thanks! 😁

Jeeves, bring my nano-violin... (Morrissey content)

Yet another in a seemingly endless litany of grievances... -
I didn't realise Smiffy was a good singer! I like it. I followed Kotzen during his shred days, then sort of lost interest in him after he joined Poison. Fast forward a couple of decades and I got into the Winery Dogs and reacquainted myself with him... I missed a lot of stuff - I'd forgotten what a talented guy he is.

AIC were the pick of the 'grunge' era for me. Still listen fairly regularly now....
-
Depends who you talk to. What's classic to me will be different to someone 20 years younger than me, and so on. It was a conversation starter rather than a statement of fact. 🙂
-
He's a hell of a talent and that's for sure.
-
Yes, I was warned about this by one of my mates who is a massive PG fan.... He actually liked it, which surprised me....
