Newfoundfreedom Posted July 13, 2020 Share Posted July 13, 2020 (edited) Weird! Does anyone actually do any of that? OK I might technically be in for 15 bucks for bringing an electric tuner, but it's part of a multi effects board. Other than that I'm home free, and I've never even played with a horn player. I don't think I've ever even seen one. Edited July 13, 2020 by Newfoundfreedom Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jean-Luc Pickguard Posted July 13, 2020 Share Posted July 13, 2020 I can't understand what is so wrong with using an electric tuner. Are we supposed to use a tuning fork? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paul_5 Posted July 13, 2020 Share Posted July 13, 2020 $500 for bringing a fretless, then dismissed for playing above the first octave. On second thoughts I’d just stay in bed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
musicbassman Posted July 13, 2020 Share Posted July 13, 2020 I particularly like the perfectly reasonable $25 fine for the DB player who actually plays audibly ! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
knirirr Posted July 14, 2020 Share Posted July 14, 2020 $1520, plus dismissal, I think (includes fretless BG plus various upright offences). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lozz196 Posted July 14, 2020 Share Posted July 14, 2020 I think I’d be alright. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

itu Posted July 14, 2020 Share Posted July 14, 2020 Now! So this is the reason I have earned so little while playing bass. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nail Soup Posted July 15, 2020 Share Posted July 15, 2020 Using Electronic tuner - $15. How about playing the whole set with a tuner clamped to the headstock? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

T-Bay Posted July 15, 2020 Share Posted July 15, 2020 What’s a ‘ bone player’? A keyboard player? I sure as hell am not typing ‘what’s a bone player’ into google to find out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Painy Posted July 15, 2020 Share Posted July 15, 2020 How skint would I be? The answer is obviously that I couldn't be any more skint than Basschat has already made me. 🙄 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Huge Hands Posted July 15, 2020 Share Posted July 15, 2020 I think for "missing root at end of blistering fill" - I would probably be bankrupt alone. I know plenty of 'bone players and those ones are true too! I know what they all do for a day job! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are we supposed to use a tuning fork? In the context of jazz with acoustic piano you are generally expected to tune to the piano by ear. I made this faux pas myself as a rookie in a big band, but most of time the keyboard player brought an electric one and it didn't matter, and sometimes the acoustic ones have been so out of tune that it also didn't matter. The real fun started when there was no keyboard player and the whole band tuned to my fretless bass, and not to a pitch with a marker either. 😉 Edited July 15, 2020 by Passinwind 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can we infer that in jazz circles the trombone player is the butt of jokes, a bit like drummer in rock music? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
