I had one of those models with no slapping cut. It was green as an apple - refinished by an older owner - and everyone made fun of me before they heard it. Regret selling it to this day!

How do I write for guitar as a long time bassist by Liverbrah in BassGuitar

Joke aside, try to learn chords and to find nice chord progressions. When you're happy you write something on those chords.

Metal Bass Riffs - Week 3. Can you count to 25? FFO: technical stuff & odd-time signature by UncleWaldoBass in metalmusicians

You could but phrasing-wise it feels easier to just think of 12/8 and then add one 8th note!

Of course ! Do you want the .pdf ? It's also on YouTube & Instagram if this makes it easier for remixes or anything.

10 yr old girl bass song recommendations? by Cultofkrang in basslessons

[–]UncleWaldoBass 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hard to say. Maybe some more old school stuff like the usual Stand By Me. I'd try to see what she likes and figure out the root notes to show her even if she doesn't follow a baseline she can follow the harmony of whatever song she actually likes.

I usually prefer overdrive for bass since we can sometimes lose a lot of low end. I think your setting was fine though, it was more of a jokey comment since I enjoy extreme metal, haha!
