    Yep no more bass but I play guitar too so that will keep my musical interest going but home use only 

    Big, bold move, I’d keep a bass around too*, but that’s me.

  2. I have been in my current band just over a year and we’re about to move onto drummer number 3 :facepalm:.

     

    We have a gig next Friday, which the outgoing guy said he’d cover, although his departure could still be regarded as without warning (I actually doubt whether many folk who quit give a lot of notice). Would I use a previous member of a band again once they’d departed? Probably, provided they were good at the job and not absolute jerks.

  3. Coming from guitar (I know - burn the witch!), I was determined to play with my fingers because I wanted to make a complete break from the skinny stringed beast. Decades later, I still predominantly use my fingers, but i have been known to play gigs with a pick just for poops and giggles and always use one if the song demands that tone (anything by The Jam or Yes for instance). I like the attack you get with a pick and in a dense mix it can really help focus the sound. I know a really good sound engineer who prefers a pick played bass for that very reason. Having played guitar (🔥🧙) for so long with a pick, I already had good pick technique, so it’s not a chore on bass at all, the only difference being the type of pick used (I prefer thick on guitar, thinner on bass).
