o40Bass Posted January 13, 2017 Share Posted January 13, 2017 I really like reading blogs and wondered if anyone has some good bass blogs that they can share? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TrevorR Posted January 13, 2017 Share Posted January 13, 2017 (edited) Mark's diaries on his journey to becoming a professional bass player are a good read... https://marksdiaries.wordpress.com Steve (Solobasssteve) Lawson always has something interesting to say... http://www.stevelawson.net/?p=all My chum Benjamin Ellis does regular, interesting musings too... http://bassguitarblog.com More a magazine news site than a blog but there is Bass Player Mag's blog... http://www.bassplayer.com/blogs Bass rambling usually has some interesting articles... http://www.bassramblings.com/hoomepage/ And, with apologies for self promo, if you want to read about Wal basses, see my blog in the signature below...

Silvia Bluejay Posted January 13, 2017 Share Posted January 13, 2017 +1 for Trevor's Wal blog, and his other suggestions. In addition to those, worth a mention is Ariane Cap's bass blog, part of her teaching site.

Mykesbass Posted January 13, 2017 Share Posted January 13, 2017 (edited) I've set myself the task of writing an antidote to all the "best bass player" polls, and aim to do introductory pieces on 200 players. It has stalled a bit, but just finished a piece on Oteil Burbidge. [url="http://www.modlock.co.uk"]http://www.modlock.co.uk[/url] Also have a look at Flat Eric on here. His is well worth a delve [url="http://flatericbassandguitar.blogspot.co.uk"]http://flatericbassandguitar.blogspot.co.uk[/url] Edited January 13, 2017 by Mykesbass Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have you got a notional list already or is it building up as it goes along? Like how you covered a genre with the reggae selection and that's a nice way to make it into a series of more bite sized blogs (also less daunting/soul destroying for you as you won't have one long never quite finished blog hanging over you). So curious to see what's coming up next... a metal edition with, say, Harris, Burton, Trujillo, Kilminster etc, a pop edition with Gunnarsson and others, a folk blog with Glascock, Thompson, Pegg, Noyes etc, UK Session dudes blog with Foster, Flowers, Cottle... and so on and so forth? Nice format. Will watch with interest... Edited January 14, 2017 by TrevorR Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
