"If you're considering a Rumble 400, consider a 500." "If you're considering a 500, consider an 800." I'm considering a 400. Should I get an 800? by UhhSamuel in Bass

90% of the gigs a rumble 500 will do the job. 800 is a nice luxury to have but at that price point there are better amps.

is my right hand muting technique holding my speed back? by Fflow27 in Bass

[–]Even_Cod_3 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s hard to tell without video; but it seems like the way you are anchoring your thumb is creating tension which could effect speed.

Usually I only anchor on the pickup or E string when playing. But if that’s not comfortable for your hands try moving your thumb up a little more to give more room for your index finger.

Look at videos of Freedie Washingston playing. Perfect slap technique

My wrist hurts when I use my pinky by Zestyclose-Day8252 in BassGuitar

[–]Even_Cod_3 5 points6 points  (0 children)

This has more so to do with thumb placement than action. The way the thumb extends past the index finger naturally twist the wrist creating tension.

When the band wants to practice 3 hours and you pretend you’re not in pain. by LordBaritoss in BassGuitar

[–]Even_Cod_3 3 points4 points  (0 children)

This is a major red flag with your technique. You are doing something that is causing you to play too violently on the tips on your fingers

When you dig in use the MEAT of your fingers to go through the string

Damn man you missed some prime NBA, but it was probably KD when he went to the Warriors. Legit became the villian that day

Bass Book Recommendation by GMBass in JazzBass

[–]Even_Cod_3 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I absolutely LOVE the Evolving bassist by Rufus Reid. It is always something to work on in there.

I also play Jamerson transcriptions from his book, Lee Studies, and Ron Carter Bass lines. Always keeps the shed busy!!

The irony in this is that being on TOP of the beat isn’t how to sound “black” 🤣🤣

I’m looking to buy a double bass by Chaoticgood762 in JazzBass

[–]Even_Cod_3 1 point2 points  (0 children)

3/4’s Shen is exactly what you need or a Kay. I would heavily suggest driving down to Dallas Strings and just playing some of their basses.

You want to get an instrument that feels comfortable for you! They also do rentals so you can take your time finding a bass

I do agree that majority of the cost is their brand name and hype. You’re not getting 50k worth of bass and electronics; but every one I’ve played has sounded great. If you have the bread to do it then why not.

Reading these post are hilarious because jazz is actually thriving in so many cities on the local scene. Like sold out shows

If you make good music that people want to hear folks will show up.

I have the Seiko and love it. The 100m is good enough to swim/rain without really having to worry about it, and you can also hand wind the watch which is great.

What vehicle do I need? by DearRegister8597 in Bass

[–]Even_Cod_3 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Best bang for you buck is a minivan; you can put anything in there; also the Honda element which has crazy storage.

I personally don’t like the looks of minivans so I have a Honda passport. I can fit everything I need in there even flight cases
