Frank Blank Posted January 1, 2019 Share Posted January 1, 2019 Ok, I'll start. I was assuming someone else might but, anyway... If I spent as much time practicing bass and writing music as I did reading and commenting on Basschat I'd be a far better player! I realise/appreciate that BC is a powerful and hugely useful reference guide and tool for any bass player but hell, I spend so much time just mooching on here and essentially wasting time. So I suppose the resolution really is to practice more and, of course, that doesn't have to be at the expense of BC, I just need to prioritise. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
josie Posted January 1, 2019 Share Posted January 1, 2019 The band had a chat this morning and all agreed our collective resolution is to gig more this year than last. Which shouldn't be hard! Again it's partly a case of everyone making it a priority, and possibly letting other things be less important (little things, you know, like wives, or children, or jobs... 🙂 ) 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marvin Posted January 1, 2019 Share Posted January 1, 2019 My band has decided to have a 2 month break. Not sure why, it's not like we have a heavy gigging schedule. It's a bad sign I think. SO! I'm going to put bands on the back burner and take the kids fishing more instead 😃 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lozz196 Posted January 1, 2019 Share Posted January 1, 2019 I’ve decided to learn a few more songs outside of my current bands style, which is street punk/Oi. So have already started on Wuthering Heights by Kate Bush. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndyTravis Posted January 1, 2019 Share Posted January 1, 2019 Get an album done, do some gigs to support said album. Make no money, be happy playing music. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Roger2611 Posted January 1, 2019 Share Posted January 1, 2019 With a lack of gigs on the horizon for both bands I am going to concentrate on getting some decent recordings of the songs we do, so it will be a case of learning the ins and outs of Reaper and learning some production and mastering skills, that and play more fretless bass again 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HazBeen Posted January 1, 2019 Share Posted January 1, 2019 Do more gigs with my originals band, fewer with the tributes ...... if possible. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
