    Practice Routine

    Do you have Music Unlimited, or has Amazon’s change to playlists on basic Prime being shuffle-only messed up your practice too? So I can load our songs in set order, but can’t practice them in sequence. And Amazon will happily throw in other “related” songs when they feel like it too.

     

    I mean, it’s not as if adding songs to a playlist means you actually wanted to listen to those particular tracks, is it?

    Yes I have had Music Unlimited for a while now, since before I started learning Bass. I started with Prime, but two reasons for upgrading:

    - got fed up with some albums I enjoyed disappearing from the Prime service

    - wanted high definition audio for use with my Sonos system

    Now after the recent changes, the Prime service sounds like it works in a similar way to Spotify?

    I find that the only way I can stay motivated to "practice" often is just to play through songs I know and enjoy playing. I have a variety of songs on an Amazon Music playlist that I add to whenever I learn something new. I will often only play for around 10 minutes, but sometimes I end up doing this several times a day whenever I get bored of what I am supposed to be doing! It seems to be working as I see an improvement when I go back to songs I haven't played for a while.

    Equipment wise, I generally play through my Ashdown Studio 12 combo, with headphones if necessary but without if no-one else is in the house! That way I can use my pedals and the overdrive in the amp. If I need to go to a different room, I use my Amplug headphone amp instead.

    This will be an absolute corker!

    Shame I can't make it  - have a great time.

     

    Would it be possible to record @Kingbassist's talk? Sounds like it would be really interesting. 

    I was hoping to come but turns out I'm not free 🙁. I second the request to record the talk, sounds really interesting. I'll be listening out for @Kingbassist on Thursday next week as we are off to see Hamilton 😊

    There are a few sites where you can pick which instruments you want and mute your own. Can't remember if this was the site I used once, but certainly something like this. 

    https://www.karaoke-version.co.uk/custombackingtrack/

    I have used this site several times when I needed backing tracks for my daughter's singing exams. I can recommend it. Also allows you to transpose up and down. And you can make unlimited changes after purchase and download a new MP3 afterwards. Depends if they have the kind of music you are looking for of course.

    No Pickguards

    I can understand that, interesting perspective. I guess I just prefer the simpler look of it without a pickguard. I'm also wondering if the pickguard has much of a function on a bass?
