I play in the house band that does a weekly jam night. I let other players use my bass and rig. Same bass , amp and settings … and it sounds completely different with different players. And the same room can sound completely different depending on the number of people and volume … and sometimes I swear the humidity makes a difference.

beauty! -
Unfortunately , at this stage I seem to have become somewhat of a mentor for quite a few younger players …

I was just fortunate to consistently play with people that were much better than I was.

I dropped in a Tbird style humbucker. Much closer. -
I’ve got close to twenty new tunes to learn. I’m expected to know them exactly as they’re played , and then be able to transpose to a variety of keys at rehearsal. I’ll make up charts as I learn them , and through repetition commit them to memory. I can use charts at rehearsal , but not on the gig. I’m good at writing charts , but don’t write or read the dots. If I did , and could bring written music on the gig it would save me the considerable time needed to memorize everything.

Try to Incorporate interpretive dance into your practice routine. You never know when it might come in handy.

I’ve heard more horror stories of guitars going missing from cars and trailers than hotel rooms. Even on busy streets in broad daylight. Amps too.

Welcome Antozzi48. This place is full of other bass players so it may not be the most suitable spot to search for new bandmates. But you never know , it’s a strange place , and sometimes things happen.

Welcome GloomB. Is that a Ric I see in that little avatar ? I’ve never thought of them as gloomy. … gorgeous , yes. I still get a little weak in the knees when I look at one.

Welcome , I like the sounds of this. -
It’s never enough. You’ll soon have to add another pedal , and then more. Amps and cabs will follow , and in between more basses. … this can continue for decades.

NBD: something I thought I'd never do (Stingray content)

I tend to go for straightforward things , but showed my wife a photo of a big orange hollow body Gretsch , she took one look and said “get it”. It’s been a favourite ever since. -
Silver but no sparkle.
