If you bought an ice white bass you could claim it was actually transparent and no one would know otherwise

The white background from all the snow and ice might improve the colour rendition?

@Pea Turgh would see better if he wasn’t so blind to the fabulousness of tort

Quite like that 👍

I do look back in anger, wishing that someone had advised Noel and Liam to pursue alternative careers.

Your English is just fine- I’ve seen native speakers write much worse content I recommend the tc electronic bh250 plus a small cabinet. Cheap on eBay. very loud and it can be used without the cab as a headphone amp, and has an auxiliary IN https://www.tcelectronic.com/product.html?modelCode=0707-ABZ

I’d get a nimzy turns your desk into a speaker https://www.techradar.com/reviews/audio-visual/hi-fi-and-audio/hi-fi-and-av-speakers/nimzy-vibro-max-99361/review

I have a radical approach of “just going and looking at it”,… a vintage est96a a tc electronic bc250 plus cab an ancient zoom b2.1u job done

I use a capo on bass to remind me not to play in a standard key

Sadly I have to start somewhere, bass is not a solo instrument. Clearly I have fewer choices than you as I have to play to my talent level and my available practice time given kids, work, home chores and DIY

Failed sunbursts also

Comments to conjure with are “I don’t know what key I sing it in” (Dakota) “they’re quite good guitarists, not sure I’ll measure up” (zz-top) “not sure how I’ll emulate the guitar part with an acoustic” (the cult) I see the train a’coming… and it’s going to wreck

I have no idea, I’m just being thrown into the lions den next month and will have to wing it

After many months of fruitless attendance at OM nights I went to two last week and ended up with three invitations to co-play at next months so I have to learn Dakota folsom prison blues she sells sanctuary I still haven’t found what … but in f# sharp dressed man i know it’s not likely to have troubled Jaco to learn these (or indeed 99% of you folks) but I’m time and talent-challenged so have my work cut out. lady who runs both nights is bass-curious and very taken with my acoustic bass @Len_derby as she is quite petite and found a full size bass attractive but also daunting. I have started her on her way learning “the chain” on it in the time honoured manner 👍

It was actually Carole kaye. She did it all. With a pick - even the double bass stuff

Yes it’s a pity you don’t live up here with “the wildlings” as my local OM is run by a professional singer who happily jumps in and supports fledgling singers where needed. She’s like the Julia hofer (thomann) of singers I'm trying to convert her into a bass player.. she’s definitely bass-curious so if B wasn’t taken as a persuasion ….

Coaches can develop your range, I hear. I’m going to one tonight as it happens. I’ve got an acoustic bass now so do a quick run-through beforehand with guitards without needing an amp

I think he is godlike. I sent him a request for an obscure tune and he did it. Very good PDFs and clear video. @ConstantineIsslamow

Let’s see… she speaks almost perfect English, has good screen presence and can play bass way better than me … whilst riding a unicycle what’s not to like about that 🤔

I lived about two villages away. Mind you I was still wearing nappies and thus unlikely to trouble the mosh pit

Lucky they didn’t task a guitard with it. It would mean first teaching one of them to read words but that’s five years well spent in my view

I dream of playing that well..

I always thought that was what 12/8 was. @Munurmunuh

I had one. Awesome choice. AND it has a purple power light
