SaxyBassist Posted February 13, 2015 Share Posted February 13, 2015 Hi all, thought I'd check in and update you on my progress I've been working hard on teaching myself bass for 18 months now and here is some footage at a local blues jam - I made up the bass line (only because I had no idea how the actual one went haha!) which I was quite pleased with except for the odd slip here and there - you can't really hear the bass through a laptop very well - I stuck my headphones on [url="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-m2a56LpGmE#t=57"]https://www.youtube....m2a56LpGmE#t=57[/url] and another one - again the bass is a bit quiet [url="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4YWU66HJqPw&index=2&list=PLHxL-kmPrJKckC3nc2PcJDBqnTINa_xfI"]https://www.youtube....PcJDBqnTINa_xfI[/url] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marc S Posted February 13, 2015 Share Posted February 13, 2015 Hey that's pretty damn good considering you've only been playing 18 months Quite brave of you too, to be playing with other musicians who look like they've been playing a while Don't worry about the odd "slip" here and there They happen - the important thing is to keep the groove Heard the bass fine through some earphones - sounds fine in the mix nice & audible among drums & 2 guitars Nice colour purple Ibanez bass too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The bass is my favourite colour - couldn't resist it! [quote name='RAY AGAINST THE MACHINE' timestamp='1423838945' post='2689586'] Sounds good to me on my iPad Good stuff.
