All of these players are using 6 string piccolo bases. I'm setting up my phone camera to record the first 34" scale 3.5 kg four string bass swing. I should have no trouble at all cracking the singers eye socket.

You were lucky. In the 70's I had a small glockenspiel and a plastic four string guitar. No wonder I've got behind with cable technology.

This is very helpful thank you. I was worried I might not be cut out for bass guitar, but it's comforting to know it is common for bassists to have difficulties initially anti clockwise, I feel re-invigored to continue. Don't worry, I won't be reaching for the legal team again this time. I'm going to try with my Harley Benton. It has active electronics that will help stabilise north.

You make it sound easy? Have you tried wandering clockwise in A minor? It's like left foot braking in the car, feels wrong, unnatural, and has no finesse. You raise some good points tho, so I will keep practicing.

Agreed. For some reason, velcro cable ties seem to be looked down on and don't get used much, by people who wrap in insulation tape. Stupid insulation tape. Sticky, sore fingers, bits of tape sticking to your shoes and stage, drummers opening them up with the knife they keep in their snare box. Oh my days.

Thank you for the replies. It seems where there is space, I will wander. I have a few hundred cables. I used them for running small stage band PA. I have all sorts. The cheap cables that go stiff in the cold are the worst. Ones with expensive rubberised anti-kink outer sheaths are the best. I don't have any of them, too expensive. We have hit on wireless. I'm going to explore this.

Good call. I remember first seeing this technology on TOTP where instruments seemed to have no cable. We used to think there were mining, but it was probably HF radio transmission. I'd be very interested, but I know it's going to involve a battery that always needs charging. Grr.

Thank you. I'm ok with cable management in general, the cable is more of an indicator to the deeper problem of moving in circles.

Hi. I believe in honest analysis and judgement of one's performances in order to adjust and improve. I'm also a great believer in health and safety and have cleared my house of furniture in order to perform 'The Zip' where appropriate. Since the clearance, I've frequently noticed my instrument cable twisted into knots, and on further analysis notice that I'm rotating anti-clockwise during rehearsal. I've checked the sink and bath and they drain water in the other direction of spin, proving it's not universal forces. All I'm left with is that I'm either trying to get round the front on the fretboard, or trying to get away from the cable? Has anyone else experienced this and do you know what causes it? I've attached an image to help identify the issue.

That is one of the best 1 second audio signals in my collection now.

Presenting: A pop/disco track transformed into a future rave disco remix, starring special guest the Spector EMG-SSD. Song: Break My Heart. Artist: Dua Lipa Vocal track from: acapellas4u.co.uk Rewrote the chords and arrangement, then using the bit I know about future rave production teqniques, I played a 16 beat bass guitar pattern, like a mandolin. I split the bass guitar into three chanels then grouped them and gave that some Saturator > Compression/Expander > Compressor (kick side chain ducking) Bass guitar channels: CH1: Using fuzz and a leslie cabinet to make a 'saw wave' synth for mid range. Stereo. 100khz high pass into POD amps - post: Compression/Expansion > EQ > stereo expander > 16 beat volume chopper CH2: Using a small peak of frequencies to catch the 'snort' of the plectrum (how else?) Stereo. Fed post FX from Ch1 - 1.4khz EQ peak > Compression > stereo expander > Compression/expander. Ch3: The Sub channel. Key of F 55hz. Very low :] Mono. Fed pre FX from CH1 - 44hz low pass > compression > 16 beat volume chopper The channels are mixed in and out as needed for the sections. All flat out in the breaks. I DM'd Dua to ask if we should add it to the world tour set and if I'd need to wear a costume and do 'The Zip'. She said it would be a good one to end on but, she was still planning the tour and was having difficulties getting the promoters details from the receptionists at most stadiums these days.

Unbelievable. Thank you for sharing. After learning of Richard R's misfortune during bass move rehearsal, to stay safe I'll be practicing this one with a pouffe and a broom stick to begin with.

I see what's happened here. Words not thought through well, and doubt creeps in. The headless bass is however widely considered a perfectly adequate instrument for any phallic move. I have heard horror stories about U-Bass where bass guitarists have purchased these and quickly lost certainty that size doesn't matter. Please be careful.

I enjoyed your input very much.

@lurksalot Like the vibe of this and the style. I has a slight menace and intrigue about it. The riffs are sort of casual, in a good way, but bold and in place and the track flows well, keeping it interesting. Like it.

I'm impressed. I've not seen that move done with diminished chords. Top skills. But perhaps you didn't need to lift your leg after all? When the Lord Reigns, you only need the bus wiper?
