New start..

[Useless Eustace]

Hello

 

I started messing with Guitars at 16 with ideas of the rock n roll stardom.   Unfortunately, while I could give Ozzie a game on the “lifestyle”, practice evaded me & I just never progressed.

 

A few years ago, I bought a Bass.  A lovely Bass!!!  But again, just never had the application, so it sat in it’s case for years.

 

Well I just bought a Boss Katana Go.   What a piece of kit!    Being able to sit in the living room with the missus while not disturbing whatever tripe is on the telly, playing along to tunes & YouTube lessons……..WOW!   I wish this had been available years ago.

 

Now unfortunately, my nice fairly expensive Wired Earbuds went to the charity shop long ago.

 

Question :  Are In-Ear buds suitable for Bass, or will it wreck them?

Any recommendations?

 

 

Thanks

Welcome. And in answer to your question, in-ear buds are fine for bass. For further information, you can spend a couple of days reading the IEM bible thread or just read the first post in it.

WOW!!!!!   That’s an in depth response!  😂

 

 

I think I may have bought a faulty Katana GO 😳

What appears to be wrong? I got caught out because you have to pair it twice, once for audio and once for control.

The Katana GO is an incredible piece of kit.   Great sound & so easy to play music & videos.   Wish I’d had this years ago!

 

OK, so I’m pretty decent at learning riff, but don’t know the theory beyond EADG & where the 5th & octave of each note is.

I don’t know how to work out what key a song is in or what I’d do if I did.

 

If you were starting out today, how would you learn?   Video lessons?  Is there an app?

 

 

Thanks

I've been playing bass for over 30 years and what you say is where I still am. Then again, I'm quite happy being at that point and I just play for my own enjoyment not needing to play with others, so unfortunately I can't assist with your query, but just letting you know you're not alone in the boat in which you find yourself.
