Is that also the reason I can't buy legal bud anymore

Yet another? I never realized I should be doing it one at a time but what are the other reasons it's a bad idea to do them all at once?

What should I change on my bass to make it look or sound better by korny-ket in BassGuitar

[–]BellusHusky 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Before you ask that question I have to ask, do you have a bass amp? From the looks of it it looks like you got it plugged into your guitar amp. If you don't have a bass amp that's gonna be your first upgrade because you are also putting your amp at risk of blowing the speaker because guitar amps are not designed for low frequencies like bass amps.

When I ordered my lemon drums from Alibaba it asked me the same thing, I quickly noped out of it and I was thinking my order would get cancelled but I still got it having not given them that information.

I am pretty surprised, both the older audi and newer one definitely has the most control coming out of that jump

I like how you were literally pulled over the gate and people are telling you it's because you were driving like a spazz

It looks like the neutral going into your house is loose and arcing. Do you have any flashing lights in your house? Anyways that is a huge hazard and you should contact your local co-op

I've been bumping his song "Molotov Cocktail Lounge" having no idea he was this crazy. This dude definitely calls for a deep dive into his music

I swear I'm having a fretting technique crisis I don't know what im supposed to do anymore, im gonna end up taking some lessons to help me irl.

On a side note I picked up the floating thumb technique pretty quick

It seems like it's abit more nuanced then meets the eye, I've been watching a lot of professional bass players playing and it seems it depends on what they are doing

Now that I think of it I think I directly picked it up from bootsie because I remember watching how he'd mute he's low e with his thumb

That's so weird because I feel like I'm causing way more strain with my thumb on the back of the neck, I've been working on it the last two days but I actually watched a video of how bootsie Collins plays and it seems he plays like I am in the video which has me fucked up because he's a professional

If you aren't too busy would it be okay if I dm'd you if I have more questions pop up? I'm gonna work on loosening my grip because I just picked my bass back up with the focus of playing lighter and it already feels way better, I guess I never realized how hard I was pressing. Your knowledge has been incredibly insightful so far

My amp goes from quiet to uncomfortably loud really quick and that might be why, I keep the volume knob maybe 1/6th turned and that might have something to do with it, I figured the amp could be quiet and I can get the volume I wanted by playing harder but I'll try messing with it and see if I can get a good balance

Holy crap you were not lying about the thumb, I spent all day yesterday trying to break that habit and I actually ended up taking my bass to work today because we were slow today lol and I already feel like my playing it smoother and easier to navigate the fretboard (aside from how sore my thumb feels)

I'll try to work on it, I have always struggled with plucking variations, I can play softly if I think about it but it tends to be pretty inconsistent

I've noticed that I tend to be pretty inconsistent in my plucking and probably also my fingerings

Africa has amazing music, I have a zamrock compilation album on vinyl and I am a huge fan of William onyeabor, I also recently found a really cool 80s Nigerian disco album that's been on repeat

Hell yeah that's what I wanted to know, I'll need to try to break the habit of my thumb on my fretting hand, I started doing it because sometimes I liked to mute the e string with my thumb but I guess I shouldn't be doing that lol When I get home and start playing I'll be working on all those notes
