Can I say I like the phrase 'slave to the stave' whilst making it clear I have no opinion whatsoever concerning that argument.

A duff note on the bass is quickly resolved by hammering or sliding up or down a fret (or semi-tone, if fretless...) and it'll fit, for sure. The rhythm has to be spot on, I'd agree, but that's easy on bass, too, as playing at high speed is seldom a requirement, and is, more often than not, even detrimental. Worst case is a couple of beats of sustained previous note, silence, or indeterminate 'plunk plunk' 'ghosted' notes to maintain timing but without any discernable tone. It's also 'only the bass', so it doesn't bring plagues of locusts if there's a duff note or two in the evening's set. If, on the other hand, the evening consists of only duff notes, it's the others fault for not giving you the correct score sheets. And calling it in the wrong key because they think an A-7 chord at the start means it's in A-! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For instance, Joni Mitchell's 'Chelsea Morning' is in 'D', and opens with a 'D7' chord. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
