Or claim “it’s just jazz/blues/country/a #17th” followed by “don’t you know anything ? {geetard}” ... final insult optional

@julietgreen there’s a good Ed Friedland book called “Bass improvisation” that you might find helpful (but it won’t develop your “ear for chords” that as @lowdown suggests is just experience )

Or wear marigolds ?

Cover them in epoxy resin - worked for jaco...

And the yellow one with the weedy strings.... relegate that to a shed or a fireplace ...

Yep, post pics or it didn’t happen ...

Not dead though, which is always a win

Croesowiad

So she was wrong twice, wow ...

I thought it was a bit rude, personally

I saw her playing for Gwen stefani on the great escape tour, she was singing and playing bass whilst GS went off for a quick change

@inthedoghouse pedal notes a speciality i always find a good toe punt a really good way to dess as l with unwanted pekes or any other small dogs ...

No, I think you’re right about the latter

With mutes, and it’s a stack knob

Read the book, the mar-keys were a complete band, maybe you mean the brass section from the mar-keys

I feel slightly dirty reading that ... I think I can honestly say I haven’t done those

I don’t wonder at all...besides, Sylvia is not a plural

Oh dear - that’s made a right mess of my phone. Lucky I have small children so I cannot just buy one

I doubt it, I suspect that’s been there since the days of wattle and daub, heanor is in the doomsday book

Glassed just the once, followed by an all-girl fistfight ?

You’ve Clearly been to heanor, I claim my £5

So at least learn standard rhythm notation.... it’s really not that hard

Ooh ... can of worms ... tab is useful for newbies for confidence, you find out “how to play” in terms of getting the right notes but it teaches nothing about rhythm. You can learn notation and so take in more music, not just music voiced for bass guitar. I favour tab + which combines a suggested fingering of the notes with rhythm shown in standard notation. Best of both worlds

Even if mr pfeiffer, who models for the photos, is one scary looking dude

Hopefully he won’t kill you though
