It’s something about my particular physiognomy. He was right

My teacher told me that my automatic choice of leading finger was leading me to swing time. He was 100% right i now lead with my middle finger

I point you to the work of Duck Dunn, watch the two Blues Brothers movies and you can see a groove genius at work - his work is simpler to learn than James Jamersons and more groove than funky imho. before I get flamed, I hugely admire both of them

I’ve never left it, but with your last paragraph you are straying to The Dark Side and I urge you to avoid it like the plague Yoda would be proud, stick to the righteous path of bass, avoid the six string w**kery

They’re quite good enough for me and so very quiet. Result

It’s not about being a people pleaser, you’re being a bassist-pleaser and supplying us with valve-porn. It is righteous work

I watched her with gwen stefani she was singing early winter whilst gwen got changed. Gail Ann is a very talented lady at one point, gwen, Gail Ann and their tamed guitard were a few inches away. He was playing a telecaster shaped toy bass

Thanks to herr Google, it’s not a bad translation. I did however check it myself regarding the thread “make up a lie about the previous poster”, I suggest that you avoid reading it if you value your sanity. it is here - I suggest that you might need a large shot of Stroh’s Inlander Rum 80% to make it through the full 41 pages

I don’t know

@ghostwheel @Richard R refers to my characterisation of him as “stig of the dump” a caveman who learns to speak English through association with a modern human boy. The phrase “modern human boy” obviously excludes most bass chat members who are mostly boys,only slightly human and definitely not “boys” any more this all comes from an old basschat thread where the game was to humoursly insult a fellow member who had recently replied

My colleague and I, he much better at German than I, never really understood the passive voice in German. We would go through this circle of “wurde”, “senn wird”, “geworden ist” and some others before we saw the sunshine of understanding on the listeners face as we finally got the correct voice in passive and they got what we were trying to say

It’s better than your command of English, Stig. 😛

Wenn Sie das Wort „Blödsinn“ im richtigen Kontext verwenden können, dann haben Sie es mit Sicherheit geschafft. Ich lobe Sie für Ihren hervorragenden ersten Beitrag und als Hochdeutsch-Lernender, der in Wien abgesetzt wurde und von dem erwartet wurde, dass er untergeht oder schwimmt, fühle ich mit Ihnen Ich wurde von den Wienern immer sanft bezüglich meiner Fehler korrigiert, das ist Teil der Lernkurve. Ich habe zwei Jahre in Wien gelebt, da ich in der Jacobs Kaffee Fabrik im 14. Bezirk stationiert war herr schoenhofer hat mir ein buch „weinerisch für anfänger“ geschenkt, damit ich die leute im lagerhaus verstehen kann

That’ll be the restraining order and the gaffa tape working seamlessly together

Compensated bridge came from AliExpress

My 2c is that it makes little to no difference which wood. I think how it’s constructed and how well seasoned the wood is that makes more difference

I had one of those tanglewiods as a 12 string, totally adequate though I recall the action being a bit high. So I put a compensated bridge that was sanded down slightly and all was well

Check if he has small hands or short fingers relative to his peers

Yamaha f310 looks pretty good. My child found the slim neck made a huge difference to getting started
