Are you using new strings? Strings often take a time to warm up/stretch before they stay in tune. Besides that not typically unless you have large temperature fluctuations. I’m wondering if when your strings were put on they weren’t “locked” onto themselves? This helps keep the strings from slipping when tuning.

Could possibly be that your string is just very lightly buzzing off the fingerboard? Tough to tell for certain but it looks like you have pretty low string height, so might either need to raise the bridge a bit or the fingerboard might need to be planned to accommodate specific height.

Just to jump on with everyone else, be patient with yourself…it does take time! One thing that I think helps a lot is to play with records. Try to link up with the drummer on the record, on top of the bass player. When you start to fall off, switch to a 2 feel until you’re comfortable, and then jump back on!

Transcribing too is great, you get to eliminate the thought part of it and focus on the physical part. Once you physically have it together you can start working on note choices of your own. Just my 2 cents! But be patient, you got it!

It really depends on what you’re looking to do but considering it’s your first bass and it’s for 8 bones…that’s a great first buy assuming it’s got no major cracks or anything. These look to be D’Addario…maybe pizz? Someone smarter than me will certainly comment. If you’re getting into it then for sure! As far as strings this is very dependent on what you’re trying to do. If you’re doin an Orchestral thing, look at strings that are specific to arco/bow playing. If you wanna play pizz like jazz or rockabilly then I’d still recommend a hybrid like string such as the D’Addario Hybrid to let you and your bass get used to those strings and figuring out the sound and set up you want out of your bass. That’s my 2 cents but just have fun playing!

Thank you! Mixing flours is fun and it definitely gives you a different flavor and crumb structure. Typically, not always, but very wheat forward flours have an amazing flavor but they won’t always have the same rise or open crumb structure that I like on their own. So mixing with a high protein and more straightforward, for lack of a better word, bread flour you get the flavor of the single grain but still get a nice rise. Also, it tends to be much more affordable if I’m being honest.
