bassace Posted November 11, 2020 Share Posted November 11, 2020 If you’re playing half notes make sure they’re the right ones. Because a minim is a long note to get wrong. Said to me by a drummer. Very erudite for a drummer, I thought. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A week, the audience can tell." That’s paraphrasing something Louis Armstrong said. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stewblack Posted November 11, 2020 Share Posted November 11, 2020 Said to me as I set up at an audition. The band was a three piece plus vocals. "we just ran through the songs you'll be playing, it's amazing what a difference it makes not having the bass" I should have walked then and there Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This was actually said to me during a load out once. A very pretty yet hammered girl. I had a very similar comment from a lady I was friends with, it changed our friendship for ever! I don't mean that we hooked up or anything, but there was a different level of openness. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doctor J Posted November 12, 2020 Share Posted November 12, 2020 "Bass is the tool of ignorance" - Blackie Lawless 😂 On a happier tone, at one gig I was told "We couldn't hear the band but we could feel your bass" ...which was nice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In the interval I was having a pee and 2 guys came in and stood right next to me. They started discussing the band. One said to the other, "What do you think about the bass player?" The other replied, "Dunno, couldn't hear him!" I was going through the PA and the stage volume was rattling my fillings out!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
