Wouldn't all these things of yours be more suited to the " Performance>Recording" section, where most other people put films of themselves, rather than in the "Gear>Bass Guitar" section?

Just a thought.

I've thought this too, it's a nice bass and good playing, but it is a recording and should really be in the recording section. :)

This section is more about the actual instrument. A video or recording makes sense if you're saying "hey, look how awesome this instrument is", but after that, recordings should be in the recording section.

All IMO of course.

Keep posting videos though, I'm enjoying watching them. :)

I felt it fitted well in this forum, as it´s about "bass", not the actual recorded performance, which is there just as an example...

loved it, I was just talking to someone last night who thought bass was unimportant... :)

right! how many times have wee heard that, bass is unimportant! not that it worries me, cos we know better. i did this as a quick FB ad for bass lessons, and i gave my first one (in ages) today. Take the link email it to em! hehe

versatility.. Ive always thought of the bass as the drums, with the added capacity for direction of harmony thats played, depending on the color of the harmony being played.. as Yoda would would say.. many variables may they become..

Along the lines of what the great Devin Townsend said, guitarists can do all their fret w***ing and fiddly bits to their hearts content. However i'm going to stand here and hold it and down... and until i change my mind we're in C. We are fundamental to the music

Then by that logic all 4 string lower register guitar players have been playing with their asses all this time. :)
