converse320 Posted March 31, 2017 Share Posted March 31, 2017 Hello. I am in Woodhall Spa and have been lurking and posting infrequently. I am a very bad bass player. Yesterday I found out that my wife has entered me for Rockschool Grade 2. My daughters get money if I do badly, so I might ask for help. But I think I have Dr Cocoa nailed.......

Telebass Posted April 1, 2017 Share Posted April 1, 2017 Welcome! I know zilch about the grades, so can't help there. Although from Essex, almost all of my extended family live in and around Lincoln these days. What's the music scene like up there? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
converse320 Posted April 1, 2017 Author Share Posted April 1, 2017 I am very out of touch, but Lincoln itself is pretty lively. Locally, its quiet. Though I heard a really tight Lincoln band called Suspicious Pigeons in Woodhall a month a month or so ago. Haven't enjoyed myself as much in ages, and really made me miss playing. I payed saxophone years ago, but have lost so much top end hearing that I just can't play in tune anymore. I am really enjoying my pathetic attempts at bass and wish I'd started when I had enough time left to get competent. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ToolOfIgnorance Posted April 6, 2017 Share Posted April 6, 2017 Hello there, couldn't help but notice that you're in Woodhall. I'm not too far away in Scopwick. I'm afraid I don't know much about grades myself but good luck with it, I'm sure you'll nail it. By the way, who makes the donation to your daughter? Could it be worth a 50/50 split? Thanks for mentioning the Suspicious Pigeons, I'll keep an eye out for them. I've not come across them yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tony_m Posted April 8, 2017 Share Posted April 8, 2017 Welcome to Basschat! We're not too far away from you, though of course this being Lincolnshire it always takes longer than I expect! Have to confess I know nowt about Rockschool and grades, and just muddle through the best I can. It took me a while to find a band after we moved here a year ago, but eventually I managed to convince some experienced musicians I could actually play, and we're currently working up some covers and originals. Good luck with Rockschool, and have fun! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Re daughter bet - I thought it might encourage her to have someone to compete with. So the deal is that she gets a prize if she gets a better grade in her guitar than me on bass. Things are looking bleak I'm afraid - she has all 3 pieces nailed and technical stuff mostly done - with nearly 2 months to go. But I'll go down fighting.....
