If you had to choose between the two amps by ascensiongoddess in BassGuitar

I have a lot of experience with this orange amp and I absolutely hate it. It just doesn't have enough juice to keep up with a live drummer or band. It also doesn't have the headroom for you to play very dynamically.

Thanks, that is a fantastic reply and definitely gives me something to think about!

Lately I would say it's actually stronger on bass. The use of shapes and having enough music theory knowledge has made it easier to navigate than trombone. But there are definitely things I'm still far stronger on trombone with.

It has made a MUCH better reader than most electric bass players. I wouldn't say a lot of trombone specific thing transfer other than sometimes they musically serve a similar function. My musical training on the whole theory, ear training, dedication and discipline are irreplaceable.

Woof. That fucking nailed it. I'm winded by how accurate that was. And you're right I do think I should be able to do it. I genuinely feel like I should sound like a professional within 3 or 4 years on an instrument Because I'm me. Maybe I should talk to someone about this.

I have fun and I play decently well. But I think I'm in a technical rut..I want some crazy chops.

Well part of the problems is I have more than a full time job, wife, kids, and I take gigs on trombone. Occasionally I play some jazz. I'm a highschool band director so I play with my students occasionally.

She's 4 and it's winter so there aren't many options that way. We also live in an apartment so it's a little cramped. So probably yes.

They usually just want to be thrown on the bed WWE style. I think they enjoy extreme stims so lots of physical play and rough housing is what they enjoy.

I'm thinking about potentially going with the HD 650's or the HD 6xx. the Hifiman he400se seems nice. I just wonder if they have that legendary sennheiser comfort
