Against my own better judgment, I present 'Wishadelic Demotune', a mix of two of the great audible art installations of the past decade - namely, Psychedelic Tuning and the infamous Wishbass Demo from youtube.

I apologise in advance if this causes distress or genuine harm. It may be an idea to remove small children or animals from the room first. 

 

 

I would call it a song nammed - "Welcome" !!!

Tbh, the clip I uploaded is the best bit, the other 19 minutes of him tuning his guitar is far worse.

Tuning guitar nice is a rare ART.

But Jaco only needed four strings to play a random series of notes, Nilo has a 6-string.

I never got 6, but 5 i love. Felix got 6. Donna lee is ok with 4 used.

This is what happened 2 years ago to me. I got auditioned by a pop/rock band - drummer, guitarist, keyboards, girl vocal. I came in to room, all looked very nice, everybody was setting up for the rehearsal. So it started - the girl vocalist said to me - ok, play something. I asked - bass solo, alone? Guitarist answered - yes, that would be nice. I said ok. Took some seconds to think what to play and decided to play Donna Lee. So i did it without mistakes in a good speed, thought - should be fine. Then the girl vocalist said - no......you are not good enough, you can leave now, goodbye. I packed and left. A bit of whiskey and all was fine again.

I remember my first funk/disco band crash 20 years ago. The superb vocalist (not the bands leader) made his Ukrainian girl friend pregnant and decided to marrie her and go to live to Ukrain. We couldn't find a match vocalist, no one sounded like we wanted to and it end up.

Best regards!

The leader of the band - vocalist started to declare more absurd and fanatic ideas than last year.

Something terrible has happened...

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

... I have a space on my pedalboard!

 

After receiving the GC Pro and doing a big reshuffle, I decided to take my expression pedal off the board (I always use one, which has always been on the board, and have another two which I use and and off, mainly for recording). The revelation of having the space can mean only one thing... it must be filled by one large, or two small pedals. Aghhhhhhh.

 

Given that the only thing I was truly lusting over was a WMD Protostar, and the chances of finding one are VERY low... oh what a terrible position to be in

 

 

You could always ask the leader of the band - vocalist.

Sort of thread that makes me want to leave Basschat 

Close your eyes and start making a friendship.

Hmmm.....did not think that for some one it would be so hard to just write "friend" or ''bass''.Sad. 🤣

I'm actually quite content that you don't have an opinion.

Now if you could just stop having questions as well, that might keep everyone happy 😜.

Think of the question i wrote.....think of that you can't answer the question ?! Like it or not - it's your problem, because this is bass chat, not the chat about - did your mom brought you up right or wrong ! 😉

Simple questions - must always be smart answers right along. Keep on!!! 🤩

I’m kind of getting used to your odd questions, but what I do find annoying is your propensity to post them without including your opinion in the post.

Even for you though, this is an odd one. It sounds absurdly materialistic at best.

My odd questions......nice, thank you. Seems like your only preffered superb threads are DOI. Why i don't post my own opinion - because i don't have one and just want to get it from others.

Are we talking physically or emotionally ?

In virtual insanity!

Who do You love more, Your best friend or Your favourite bass ?

You're just going to offer anybody who says yes ten lats for the bass they hate, aren't you?

😄 We don't have lats for a lot of years, i guess You mean - euro! But idea is good.

If you hate your bass, why do you still have it?

Well, i think that some one could still love his bass, but at the same time hate for some specific reason.

If You hate Your bass - why ???

Best regards !

Hard core doom neck.

I like this one. Though in live cover i play it much different.

You certainly won't learn how to as long as you are simply copying the fingering of the original.

 

Also plenty of legendary bass players who didn't possess Jaco's acrobatic skills on a fretboard but still managed to write legendary music and bass lines.

 

Exactly - don't try to learn cover songs the exact way they have bean played. Do it your own way.

Start practicing improvisation and writing your own stuff, maybe?

Yeah, write Your own Donna Lee solo.

A bit of theory sooner or later is good, but You must also get some own feel about the instrument You are trying to make friendship. As i understood You got it with Your brass, so now think how You could make it with bass.
