fumps Posted March 8, 2013 Posted March 8, 2013 Last night I had the house to myself so the TV was not switched on & I just sat & played bass all night. I played a few songs & played along with them and also stuck some trance tunes on & jammed along with them. I was happily playing & then I noticed I was smiling to myself. It took me a few moments to realise why I was smiling, then it hit me that this is the best sound I've ever had on bass, the tone was spot on the fact that I could change the sound in one sweep of a knob on my bass and the whole thing can sound like a totally different bass set up.........It's the first time I have noticed how contented I am with the gear that I have. I have no Gas to speak of......I am happy It's a rare moment in life when you feel that there is no more I can do, no more things I can buy to make me any happier. I do love effects pedals & experimenting with sounds, but as a clean pure bass sound, I honestly don't have any compulsion to change what I have. Good times ....very good times Quote
charic Posted March 8, 2013 Posted March 8, 2013 Nice one fumps! How long do you think it will last? Quote
Dad3353 Posted March 8, 2013 Posted March 8, 2013 I give it 10 minutes..! No, seriously; it's a state of bliss all too rarely achieved. Well done, that man... Quote
fumps Posted March 8, 2013 Author Posted March 8, 2013 lol I was not even sure I was there until last night, I've always spent personal practice time trying to tweak sounds & thinking ....."Aww it'll be reet I'll sort it some other time". But last night it occurred to me I have not done that for nearly a year. I've reached a bass related level of dandy-ness that I dare not dream exists. All is good in the world....also added to this I have just realised it's Friday ........I thought it was Thursday ....whoohoo! This deserves a nee norrr [i]**Ahem..........Neeee nooooorrrr neeeee nooooorrrr[/i] Quote
Oopsdabassist Posted March 8, 2013 Posted March 8, 2013 Well nee norred that goat person! I can you have been practising..keep it up, that is all. Quote

'WOOOOOAAAAAAIIIIIIII.....WOOOOOAAAAAAIIIIIIII....' ...until the blessed sound of the Last Trump calls for peace and quiet once more. Thank you, fumps; thank you very much. Quote
