Who started playing bass with no inspiration at all?
mep replied to adamg67's topic in General Discussion
Initially I liked the idea of guitar and thought about getting one. One day at school I saw on the notice board the music department was renting a bass and I had my lightbulb moment. I came home with it thst day an never looked back. -
He describes it s a bass but include a quote which calls it a baritone guitar!
-
Mine was an unnamed Gibson SG copy. I had it for a few years before selling it to a friend of my brother. I then bought a decent P Bass copy. Unfortunately I don't have either of them.

I have heard about the new book too. Looking forward to that.

Slick Fretboard.......

The fretboard obviously plays like butter!

Great amp at a great price. Used to have one. -
Whilst watching the Like a Prayer one (again!) YouTube suggested this one featuring Guy

Oh no, not again. Plus his crude hand written name on the headstock.

I've played this in a couple of bands. A great song and fun to play.
-
And then forgetting he played on it! The storey is covered in more detail in his book.

2 awesome videos. Really looking forward to more. If you havent't read his then you need to.

Thanks for sharing. I've subscribed to his channel. You could have done with this in advance of your Sammy gig!

What sort of strap do you have. Perhaps try one that has a bit more 'grip and us less prone to sliding.
-
Same here. Don't worry about it too much. The verse riff is easy enough. Trim back the chorus part but keep the essence of it.
-
It's not worth it. Just agree to all learn some new songs and practice later.
-
Ah but has he hand scribed his 'name' on the other side of the headstock using a green Sharpie?
-
War Pigs when we first introduced it into the set. More for the solo section as the bassline really goes for it. There was a tricky bit halfway through where at times the guitarist didn't always meet up with bass and drums. Always a relief to get through the solo.

Thanks Dave. Getting stuck in whilst holidaying in the Scillies with the start of social distancing. Weather is ok.

Surely not Artful Badgers though😁

Our band was offered a gig for Saturday in our regular pub for a birthday. We have agreed to do it and I imagine it will be our last for a while. I am a bit apprehensive given the situation but let's see.

Fat Labrador arrived and will be my holiday read next week.

You didn't buy one of MDP's eBay seller refurbished basses did you?😧

Nice bass. A great colour scheme. I have the same one although from 1992 with an earlier serial number. It came with a clear perspex pickguard and I bought a mirrored one which I prefer. GLWS. -
