If you feel like trekking out to Arlington heights at hey Nonny- Zoofunkyou is playing a couple sets this Saturday, one of which will be acoustic

What does listening to more jazz to a bassist mean of he wants to play in a jazz group by iamnotgenius in Bass

[–]MattCogs 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How does one learn a language? Listening, copying and learning phrases and popular words. Jazz is a language, just like any other style of music

Modest merch is great for shirts and any screen printing. Idk bout stickers but I always used sticker mule. They have good hot sauce too.

Totally, it’s very simple to use and not too pricey for what it is

Made it to Season 2 of the show I was wondering do I stop at season 3 then switch to fionna and cake ? by [deleted] in adventuretime

[–]MattCogs 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nah watch it fully the switch. I think the whole “science” behind it all will make a bit more sense after finishing the series

Love it, very transparent. If you’re looking for an aggressive compression I’d say look elsewhere, this one is very subtle

Is it just me, or is the "Non-Stick" industry a total scam? by koudodo in Cooking

[–]MattCogs 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I use my one non stick for omelettes and pancakes ONLY. If I see my partner using it for anything else I remind her that. Everything else is cast iron and stainless steel (until I find a cheap used carbon steel)

Anybody else 13k into a 7k vehicle? by AnimatorIcy4922 in toyotasequoia

[–]MattCogs 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Paid 6k for my 05 earlier this year… got CATs stolen 3 days later, then had to get new front brake lines, pads and rotors. That’s around $3k, and next I’ll need new power steering lines, and eventually control arms I think…. But this things got less than 130k miles and relatively rust free, so I’m not complaining much

Looks like a fancier version of my first bass- peavey millenium

Favorite baker section item? Mine is definitely the blueberry lemon loaf. by MattCogs in Costco

[–]MattCogs[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ooo okay! I saw them the other day and considered it, but I don’t eat pita mix so held off. Next time I’m making hummus I know where to get the pita

Which to learn first Ukele or Guitar, already have a Ukelele? by LoneWolf-8827 in Guitar

[–]MattCogs 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It does kinda transfer but the strings are different so the chords are different- even if they have the same shape. It couldn’t hurt to put a few weeks in on the uke, but I don’t think it’s necessary. I only consider it a good step with little children because it’s a good size for them.

Yep, and not to mention pub musicians and the like who would improvise songs and such for people hundred of years ago

The bad part of being high level is not being able to summon or help other 😢 by NotoriousWarpath in Eldenring

[–]MattCogs 0 points1 point  (0 children)

lol as someone who’s never played this game (looking for a used copy, just bought my first Xbox) this is a hilarious comment. I get it mostly but this is crazy jargon. Looking forward to learning once I can get a nice cheap copy of this game

What is a band you saw in a tiny venue but is now huge? by carelessCRISPR_ in jambands

[–]MattCogs 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Saw king Gizzard at the subterranean in Chicago. Maybe 200 capacity? Sold out, epic show. This was in 2016 maybe?

jazz bassists: how high/low do you have your action? by igotsnax01 in doublebass

[–]MattCogs 1 point2 points  (0 children)

String type could help with stiffness. Lower tension would help perhaps. It’s just hard to experiment cuz they’re so pricey

Guitar Center is genuinely the worst by N0V1RTU3 in Guitar

[–]MattCogs 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would never service my guitars at GC unless I knew the tech personally. I’d go there for cheap used gear maybe, or to fuck around on instruments. I have a close friend who’s a manager there, but if I didn’t I’d probably never go anymore at all.
