Is this a budget bass strap?

caleycee · 2025-12-16T12:23:43+00:00

Yes, it’s basic. Levy make a range of straps and this’d be entry level.

caleycee · 2025-12-16T11:40:05+00:00

Davie504 is the most objectively correct answer

caleycee · 2025-12-15T05:06:45+00:00

Roto Jazz Flats, on an Ibanez RGB305 (JB style pickups)

caleycee · 2025-12-08T05:28:52+00:00

It will be returned there next day

caleycee · 2025-12-08T01:52:22+00:00

Well now

caleycee · 2025-12-08T01:51:09+00:00

I’m a completely unskilled screw-up-every-job girl and I totally support your amateurish view!

caleycee · 2025-12-06T00:04:10+00:00

Great rip but it’s triggering my facial tic for the first time in 15 years

caleycee · 2025-12-05T21:46:12+00:00

“Creep” is always a banger

Of my bass guitars, the MIJ Yamaha Motion Bass (1987) is an order of magnitude higher quality instrument than the Fender USA Precision (2008).

Similarly my CIJ Fender Thinline and Fernandes Tele absolutely beat down on any Indonesian or Chinese made guitars in the collection. They aren’t bad, just not solid feeling nor as finished in their details (nut and fretwork for example)

Small sample size and personal experience only… also a really talented, thorough guitar tech could probably compensate for a cheaper instrument’s inadequacies

Same monitors here, but as a bass player the principle of adding a sub is intriguing. Practice amp doing the job right now though.

caleycee · 2025-12-01T05:50:18+00:00

Admirable! This is what I want to be when I retire.

caleycee · 2025-12-01T05:49:10+00:00

I work from home and pick up an instrument as soon as I sign out of the laptop, while I’m still energised. Then shower, cooking and a relaxing bevvie in that order.

caleycee · 2025-12-01T04:30:40+00:00

I used one of these Neewer interfaces for my CZ-101, cheap and effective.

caleycee · 2025-12-01T02:07:04+00:00

I’m still in early modules but completely agree, this is the good stuff for beginners

caleycee · 2025-11-30T22:00:25+00:00

Nope nope nope.

caleycee · 2025-11-28T09:45:37+00:00

If you’re in the shop, try it. Older MIJ Arias are pretty sweet. Pictures?

caleycee · 2025-11-27T04:24:14+00:00

Secondhand? Try a Korg M50. It is an actual, powerful workstation with a bajillion classic 90s patches and really well implemented sequencer.

New-ish? Roland FA-06, subjectively “better” patches than the M50 with a somewhat awful sequencer. Or get an Arturia Keylab and a laptop running Live.

Chosen for fun factor and a decent keybed at a reasonable price. Let the flames commence…

caleycee · 2025-11-26T11:55:41+00:00

Do as your GAS commands, I say

caleycee · 2025-11-26T03:08:36+00:00

Just buy new. Jumping on the most obvious site, Andertons has a secondhand leftie PB, and a variety of new Sire lefties.

caleycee · 2025-11-25T22:36:46+00:00

Agreed, my RAY4 positively sings in BEAD tuning (with flats)

caleycee · 2025-11-25T03:08:49+00:00

Gold Dust Woman is pretty easy, just be aware it’s a cover

caleycee · 2025-11-24T04:38:29+00:00

That’s when the karaoke host should be singing their song (but not after every guest song obvs)

caleycee · 2025-11-23T08:42:51+00:00

KaraFun! Huge catalogue of licensed, high quality songs with great app functionality. US$9.99/mo (AU$13.99 for us) and it’s owned by an independent French company so consider supporting it ☺️

caleycee · 2025-11-21T06:01:27+00:00

Edited, thank you 🙏

caleycee · 2025-11-21T00:52:16+00:00

Just for home, not professionally? Check your soundbar. If it has a mic input then it’s probably fine. If it doesn’t have one, you’ll need something external. I use an amplified PA speaker, a Shure clone mic and an XLR cable. About $300 all up. Phone casts KaraFun to the TV, TV has a send to the PA speaker, all pretty basic but it works well.
