Should there be a section on this forum that isn’t just focused on bass guitar stuff?

More rig orientated? Different cab design, drivers, crossovers etc

Scoops v folded horns? 

All bassy topics.

100kw of pushing power on a big rig link up. A good while ago. Sounded incredible.

Awesome!😎

Are you all tuning down a semitone?

I’m a guitarist and can read that, although not instantly.

Why not take the time to explain to your guitarer how it all works? You may open up his/her musical world a little more.

None of them move me.

Creepy dad rock.

90s/00s rock covers.

 

That was my worry

You can get great bass out of small driver. We used lab horns years ago and they only had tiny drivers. Perhaps not ideal for a pub band though.

Never heard of him. Looks like he’s been busy though! Mostly 70s pop/rock is it? Didn’t recognise much of his listed discography. 

What would be his best work to listen to?

Isn’t there an EUB and Double Bass section in BC? Or are you referring to synth?

Anything other than bass guitars!

Chuck radio 1 on (if you dare) and see how long you have to wait to hear a bass guitar.

I’d thought there’d be more stuff on here about drum and bass but it’s mostly dad rock stuff.

This site is very biased towards bass guitar though. Sort of assumes all bass comes from a bass guitar.

Time to go in ears, ampless and no monitor wedges, you'll love it! 

What’s a price sensitive way of doing less?

I’m sick of lugging stuff.

I look like a fat spongebob.

Electric Cheri bounce of my rocket, tout comprende!

I sometimes get cramp on my left hand playing bar chords on an acoustic guitar with dubious action, especially if I’m out of practice.

How often do you play?

Oh, that’s the one with bloke muttering all over it? Same as it ever was?

Which ‘once in a lifetime ‘?

Hey, I’m new to all this. Humour me!

There's plenty of music which is atonal.

Also, there's things like the start of "Birdland" where the root isn't played until the 4th bar of the song.

But normally, if you define a piece as having a key, the note the bass is playing very much defines which key the piece is in, so its not going to happen.

Interesting. I’ll try and compose summit tomorrow. 

Would it be hard to determine if it’s in relative 5th type thing if the root isn’t played?

Are there any bass lines that don’t contain the note (tonic???? I dunno) of the key, within the song? Guess there must be loads......

Not everyone has time for research innit.

Minimum wage?

Oh, cheers!!

Nut to longest bridge, about 35 1/4 “.

The strings do go through the body.

Is this long? Just feels like a normal bass guitar to me.....

The strings are custom gauge regular slinky, rounwound. Says nothing about diddy length on packet.....

The strings were only a tenner there’s no tears.
