Ta.  I may have met you IRL at a Midlands Bass Bash a while back then?

Yeah, I did attend a few before Covid became a thing. It would be great to get another Midlands Bash setup once the guidelines allow.

What was your previous screen name please?

I think it was SubDrop but might of included an underscore or dash.

Please, please, please do a YT video of why 5-string basses are an annoying distraction, and people who play them are '90s throwbacks!

You could call it something like 'The 1990s called, and they want their stupid 5-stringers back'!

I would pay cold, hard cash to see the BassChat response to that!

Deal. What could possibly go wrong!

I don't mind all the backlash, feedback and responses. 

It's actually quite good to see that some people took it light heartedly and others went full scale 'attack'.

The youtube video is meant as a joke with some educational benefit for bass players who don't have much gigging experience.

I didn't create a profile just to post my annoying youtube video though, I've been a member of Basschat for a long time but unfortunately couldn't remember my login details, so i created a new account. 

There are youtube videos coming soon that are purely education but maybe Basschat isn't the place to post that either. 

I however, will be using this site like I used too so I'm not going anywhere.

Are you a boring YouTuber?! 

Over seven minutes to say make eye contact with the audience and move around a bit.... The video was boring. 

Also, if its "teach me music" why not talk about making boring bass lines more interesting, that would be relevant, educational and interesting. 

Strangely enough, that is something i've already covered and will be releasing in the future.

Same for me, though where in my 21 year old mind I’m leaping all over the stage in reality my 55 year old body is shuffling aimlessly for side to side.

Nothing wrong with a good old shuffle.

We all bounce and bop to the music.

OK, I'm playing bass, I'm staring at the wall ... how do I know when I've become more interesting?

When you can move, shuffle and bounce to the music without thinking about it.

Not really interested in the opinion of some self-appointed judge, on the matter.

 

Each to their own. Opinion is opinion and you sir are valid in your opinion.

No!

Are you?

I am not. 

I believe it's important to move, smile, actually look like you're enjoying yourself or at least playing the part e.g. in a metal band headbanging or acting up to the audience on stage.
