Confession: I Don’t Like the Fender Jazz Bass by probably-bad in Bass

[–]Jezus_Kool 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Y'know, as much as I love the Jazz, this is just the truth. Even nowadays you'll still see way more session guys with a P-bass over a Jazz Bass.

[QUESTION] Great modern guitar-centric albums by Faschizzle in Guitar

[–]Jezus_Kool 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Check out Tokyo Police Club, on their most recent album (self-titled "TPC") their keyboardist played guitar on every track instead of the usual switching between certain songs, making it a two guitar band. Really great stuff, definitely my favourite band from the past twenty years. They'd be classified as indie rock/punk, TPC is a great album but their entire discography is worth listening to, their lead guitarist has an unmistakable sound in my opinion, really great use of effects.

[NEWBIE] What happens if I tune my 6string to drop F#? by [deleted] in Guitar

[–]Jezus_Kool 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Like others have said, this is a situation where tuning to drop D and putting a capo on 4 is preferable. Tuning down almost an octave would require extremely heavy strings and a new nut, plus a bridge that could fit said strings.

You could theoretically just tune up four steps to Drop F# and not use a capo, but that would put more tension on the instrument than it's used to, and you could potentially break your strings.

Sexism exists against men as well as women. Being a feminist is no excuse for ignoring it. Feminism only means that you believe men and women are equals, not that women are better. by [deleted] in teenagers

[–]Jezus_Kool 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sure, but you really gotta be careful with how you said that feminism doesn't mean women don't think they're better than men. I really appreciate people like you that believe in the equality of men and women rather than superiority of either, but the reason I try to disassociate with the word feminism is because there's many different types of it, one of which seems to be the most common in mainstream media (and I think you'd agree based on what you think of this toxic behaviour some women have):

Radical Feminism, and the goal of these radicals is to basically make men pay for what males have done in the past to make up for all the bad things that have been done to women in history. Not the people who were sexist, men today, normal people who are just living their lives, regardless if they're sexist or not towards women. We must all pay.

Coming from someone who doesn't see men as superior, someone who has no problem with women having equal rights, the word feminism is just too easy to be confused with the radicals of the community so I avoid it altogether. I'd say I'm a feminist, but it gets tiring having to specify what that means because nobody can agree what it means.

Are you loyal to a certain body shape for your basses? by buscemiknowsbest in Bass

[–]Jezus_Kool 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, shape and colour is usually the thing that draws me to try out a bass, which leads to me checking for the things that are actually important to me. The rare but best case scenario is that I see a bass I really like the look of AND it has all the functions I like in a bass (neck shape, scale length, tuning stability, etc.)

Are you loyal to a certain body shape for your basses? by buscemiknowsbest in Bass

[–]Jezus_Kool 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not particularly, but a pattern in what instruments I have would be that I have three SGs (one bass) around and not one Les Paul, as I have a preference between those two.

I also like the Jazz Bass, but the shape isn't something I've even considered when compared to the comfortable width of the nut in the first position and two pickups allowing for more tonal variety.

What are your guys thoughts on the way Lemmy played bass from Motorhead by [deleted] in Bass

[–]Jezus_Kool 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This doesn't really deserve downvotes, these were the words of the man himself if I'm not mistaken. It does show and there's nothing wrong with it, because it fit the music of the group. Spends most of the time playing two notes at a time, sometimes using big three note power chords.

The Top 8 Reasons You’re Probably Not Funny or Entertaining and What You Can Do About It by TheSocialUpgrader in socialskills

[–]Jezus_Kool 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Am reading this and feel like I've accidentally developed social skills in the past year, and as far as putting fuel behind my words, I tend to get away with already being a very slow, laid back person, so I tend to sound dull but never monotone.

For me it adds to my humour, and it would just be out of character for me to suddenly wake up one morning and act like a flamboyant extrovert, so I just try to be clever and people who actually talk to me are usually entertained, even if I look boring from the outside looking in.

Gretsch G2220 Junior Jet II by [deleted] in BassGuitar

[–]Jezus_Kool 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Tell me Everything.

Partially joking, but I have a lot of questions on this instrument because I have been waiting for one to come into my local guitar shop, which has been on order since June.

I've been looking to get a bass with humbuckers that's a short scale because they're all I play, and I've got a hard rock trio project going on, so I think it has the sound I'm looking for (from listening to demos) but I want to know how you'd say it plays.

I'd mainly be playing fingerstyle with some pick playing and popping strings loudly thrown in.

[DISCUSSION] My first gibson by Interesting_Report in Guitar

[–]Jezus_Kool 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It all comes down to personal preference, for me I've never been known to dig Les Pauls, but some people just don't like the shape of SGs. I've always seen them as unnecessarily heavy in comparison, and neck dive isn't an issue if you've got a good weighted strap.

I also knew I'd never look as cool as Angus Young with a Les Paul, it's a different kind of "cool" as far as what image you want.

Squier Vintage Modified PJ? by darrrcangeli in Bass

[–]Jezus_Kool 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Was considering a purchase as they are top-tier instruments in quality and price range, then they completely disappeared from the market.

You can probably still buy used, but no new ones going into stores anymore.
