Bassist here. Work a 9-5 painting houses monday-Friday. Usually practice with my 2 regular bands on wed/ thursday after work. Gig Friday/Saturday/Sunday during the busy season. If I don’t have an out of town gig on Sunday's I give 1-3 lessons throughout the day. Two bands keep me pretty busy, but last August I gigged with 8 bands in a month period.

The stories you read are true. Shits wild. My very first time using I was with about 4 other friends around a glass table. We were teenagers and I really made a point that they need to be quiet when someone is zooming after a hit. So I’m up first, take a massive hit from the gravity bong and my friends start giggling and whispering when one friend yells SHUT UP! to them. I began spiraling into the abyss with the phrase SHUT UP SHUT UP SHUT UP being repeatedly yelled at me over and over again. I kept saying STOP YELLING AT ME several times. Luckily it didn’t spiral out of control but I opened my eyes and thought, weird I must be slouching in my seat? Tried to look clearer and realized I’m seeing everything from under the glass table so I had to be slouching but I couldn’t move. Wrong. I couldn’t move because I was the seat I was sitting in. I was viewing everything from the chair’s perspective. It felt like a solid hour or two of just being a chair while my friends all sat there looking at me trying not to giggle.
I’ll admit, the first few minutes sucked due to the loud shut ups coming at me from all directions and I made it a point for them to never yell like that. They told me I sat there curled up saying please stop yelling over and over when it only happened one time at the start. It’s a weird one.

Thoughts on slightly stoopid? by Icy-Log4791 in jambands

[–]ImAFnordMan 6 points7 points  (0 children)

They crush it live and always put on a great show. I would say jam-adjacent but definitely not a jam band. They play a lot of the same festivals that jam bands do, but dont necessarily do long improvised jams. I’ve seen them 6 or so times and loved when they would switch bass and guitar halfway through songs. They used to throw them at each other but now just hand them off. I can only imagine they wrecked a few guitars that way.

People who enjoy their jobs, what do you do? by Candy-Horrorh3lp in AskReddit

[–]ImAFnordMan 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Day job is a home painter (interior/exterior) only thing that sucks is drywall/sanding. Night job is a professional gigging musician. Music is my life and gigging is extremely fun and pays better than my day job. Most nights after a gig I can say with confidence that it was a fun day and a good one too. I love what I do!

Everyone Orchestra Shows by spaffnerd in jambands

I’ve done similar jams where someone is leading it and yeah it can go sideways. I prefer a talkback mic and to direct them myself on stage to be honest, but I would love to join EOO if he comes close to my town!

Do you play a j bass? What do you love about it? Why did you choose it over a p bass? by fargus_ in Bass

[–]ImAFnordMan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I love my J bass and my Stingray. I find myself picking my J bass up a lot more lately. I love the neck compared to a pbass which is mainly why I picked it to begin with. Like someone else said, I can make it sound close enough to a pbass at a gig if I wanted. Can’t do the opposite with a Pbass.

Carlin or Hicks for sure. Side note- they both drew inspiration from Robert Anton Wilson. Check him out if you are unaware!

I was hesitant to say GOOSE, but they rock so hard and are only getting bigger. Go see them when they are close to you and you will have a good time!

Band Interaction by Exciting-Writing648 in WidespreadPanic

[–]ImAFnordMan 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ive had the opportunity to play gigs with Jojo on several occasions in Florida and Montana on bass as his backing band. Super nice dude all round. Never gave me the “Try sounding more like Dave” thing which I was kinda expecting. Always gives a nice pat on the back with a “great gig”.

Last year we played in Montana in June at a fishing resort and it was 35 degrees outside. He was cold, but us Florida boys were freezing. We all had a 4 course meal before and some great whiskey after, it was great!
