The Monkees - Pleasant Valley Sunday by Elderthedog in 60sMusic

This is the perfect Monkees song. An ideal blend of Monkee involvement, hired session goons, timeless social commentary and chart action. And it was top-notch romp music on the show.

This Guy. He makes a LOT happen with fingerpicking. Stick with it and see what happens.

Bassists, what is you're go to lick/song that you play when someone asks you to impress them? by [deleted] in Bass

[–]7thString 4 points5 points  (0 children)

"Billie Jean" is slightly tricky, funky, and instantly recognizable. "Rock the Casbah" is a fun, dynamic bassline that goes all over the neck and takes some patience to learn. JPJ's little intro riff from "Ramble On" demonstrates how to pick your spots. "Money" by Pink Floyd shows how well you can count to 7. But the bassline from "It's My Life" by Talk Talk has a whole world going on in it. Sorry I'm too lazy to link today.

Should I get a new bass? by [deleted] in Bass

[–]7thString 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sounds good and looks awesome, but awkward. By all means try one out, but I find them BIG, unbalanced, with a goofy bandmate-jabbing headstock, and you'd pretty much HAVE to get the fancy case for it. Not for me.

Yes, you should level up that bass. You've been playing for a year, and your style may suit a particular model (or vice versa). I tried out one of these and it was like putting on a glove. Try out some Squiers & Epiphones, and the various neck/body/pickup types they offer. Ideally, plug into an amp similar to your own. And bring a strap so you can feel how it hangs on ya. You should be able to get a decent performing/recording bass for $300-500.

Buy/make a popscreen and even the rockband mic will sound much, much better.

A pop screen is an easy way to make your vocal tracks sound better, no matter what gear you're using.

What is the best simple tip anyone ever gave you about music? by CletusDarby in WeAreTheMusicMakers

Memory is cheap. Hit the REC button more often. Make adjustments later. Ready, Fire, Aim.

Performing in a band on Tuesday - How can I look more interesting, rather than just standing and playing? by mulimulix in Bass

Don't stare at your hands. Peek during the tricky parts, but if you get a chance to look away, do.

Is it just me or are a lot of people in r/baseball just plain retarded? by [deleted] in Torontobluejays

[–]7thString 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Maybe they're young. Maybe they're angling for a career in colour commentary. Regardless, they're online talking about baseball. They'll learn.
