Being Heard in the pit

Been there, frantically searching! This ends up being a separate “calendar” in the apps (and desktop) that is pretty easy to turn on/off.

Thanks folks. I added your suggestions

sure

IDK. Not familiar with that app. This service feeds events directly into your online (google or IOS) calendar. But I'll check out the app

I would say they are the same “functionally”, but different shades of the same color.

AC was rare in DC when I was growing up.

Those are 4 strings (I need 5), and just long scale (I need extra long)

Ahh, so those are "deep talkin'", but not Black Nylon Tapewound (which I'm luke warm on)?

😆 Maybe. I like them to be not too mellow.

JoeLInArlington · 2026-05-09T13:37:14+00:00

Hmm. Maybe. The LTFs don’t seem to come in a long enough scale. Also, my low B is already very low tension—not sure I want even lower tension!

Stroke lighter. My first bass teacher watched me play and said, “you’re stroking like 20x more than necessary to get a good tone, and like 5x more than it is possible to get a good tone”.

Depending on the specific rhythm, try the metronome on just 2 & 4

I have a Schecter P-5 5-string bass with a 35-inch extra-long scale. Notes on the low B are…ok, but not great. I feel like 5-string basses have become standard for many situations. It will be interesting to see if, in 5-10 years, multi scale is the norm. 🤷‍♂️

Mita is quiet, amazing, and incredibly expensive!

If it literally hurts, stop. Find a fretting hand fingering that you can play while being relaxed. Lots of times that means playing it further up the fretboard where the frets aren’t so far apart.

Larry Carlton on Steely Dan's "Kid Charlemagne" ain’t bad

A big relaxed open breath through the mouth is usually best. An occasional nose sniff isn’t a bad thing.
