They just sort of appeared in my vicinity.

 

After the first few I made some good friends within the company and more started popping up wherever I was 😁 Next thing I knew I'd at least one of every model from 1978 to 2010.

 

Wish Peavey had made stamps, be a damn sight easier to store 🤣

Groove:

Entirely subjective, and probably an old-school way of looking at micro-timing that doesn't really take into account how popular music has developed in the last 50 years. My micro-timing is perfectly suitable for the music I choose to play.

 

Groove as ‘micro-timing’? 🤔

 

- ’Micro-timing is in the heart’

- ’One nation under a micro-timing’

- ‘Micro-time me’

- ‘Get into the micro-time’

 

Nah 😊

 

 

[Bassassin]

Year started playing: 1978. Blame The Stranglers.

 

Number of basses: Loads - I've genuinely lost count. Think of a number, triple it, then add 1, because one's a twin-neck.

 

Music theory: Don't understand the question. I have many theories about many things. One is that music ruined what might have been an otherwise normal (and probably happier) life.

 

Technique: As Lemmy once replied to the same question - "Sturm und Drang thrashing", except in my case in 7/8 & 5/4.

 

Groove: I don't f*ck with the groove, the groove don't f*ck with me.

[LowB_FTW]

Year Started Playing : '88 (I think)

Number of basses : 10 (damn you, BassChat!)

Music Theory : -10

Technique : About 3

Groove : Records?

 

Bloody hell my stats are rubbish.
