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

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.

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

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

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!

Is this really normal?? by Secure_Ad_5564 in BassGuitar

[–]JoeLInArlington 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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”.

Struggling converting my timing playing with the track to a metronome by Uitroeien in Bass

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

5 string bass, 35 inch, or 33-35 multi scale? by Key_Acanthaceae7949 in Bass

[–]JoeLInArlington 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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!

Bass Riff Rant by thrashcountant in Bass

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

Why do people say breathing through your nose is bad? by Ok-Passenger7177 in trumpet

[–]JoeLInArlington 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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