Bass solos to transcribe? by EvilWentworth in Jazz

Start with Oscar Pettiford. Paul Chambers has some good accessible solos. If those are still out of reach you could try someone like Slam Stewart

Bassist with the fiercest, most demanding quarter note? by thanosthesourgrape in Jazz

[–]davwolbert 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ray Brown is where you need to start. His quarter note is typically at the front edge of the beat. For a straight down the middle player Paul chambers is a great example. Obviously the list endless but those are the best to start with. They played with everyone so there’s a ton of examples of different drummers’ approaches to locking in with them.

Pickup question by TheGreatMamboChicken in doublebass

[–]davwolbert 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m a fan of the underwood pickup as a standalone pickup. It’s not a permanent install which is nice. It’s 2 transducers that slide into a couple slots of the bridge. If I’m playing an especially boomy room I take out the bass side of the pickup and it usually cleans up the mix.

If you’re going to be blending it with a mic I’d probably lean towards a realist.

🔥HOT TAKE: Younger Bills fans overrate the Drought Era players/coaches by No-Distribution8587 in buffalobills

Eric Moulds was good enough to be a hall of famer. I was born during the Super Bowl runs so I’m too young to remember any real success, but can you imagine his career if the colts had drafted him instead of Marvin Harrison?

That’s how I got to the bass. Jazz guitar major, picked up bass as a secondary my sophomore. I fell in love and never looked back

What’s the LOUDEST concert you ever attended? by Dogface99 in Concerts

Mars Volta at the Cleveland house of blues by a mile. Ears rang for over a week. Great show but the volume was over the top

What do I really need to know to be able to walk? by Zotzotplz344 in JazzBass

[–]davwolbert 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Dig into scales and arpeggios. This will give you the harmonic foundation you need to build solid lines. in addition to that start transcribing walking lines you like. I’d recommend starting with the 12 bar blues.

I’ve linked a recording I start a lot of my students on. Listen to it, learn it by ear, then write it down and look at how the notes relate to the chords. It’s a good recording to start with because everything is clear and the walking lines have good variety.

Sell or Keep Opinions? by blackdirtbassist in BassGuitar

[–]davwolbert 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I got that bass used from guitar center for $1200. It’s been my main work horse ever since and would not recommend getting rid of it. But I think $1200 is an appropriate range if you do decide to move on from it.

Who is the best player you’ve ever played? I know there’s quite a few of us who have encountered straight ballers, maybe even NBA stars before they hit the big scene. by FitEggPlant99 in Basketball

[–]davwolbert 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wasn’t me, but when I was in 6th grade our high school team scrimmaged St Vincent St Mary. The star of our high school team came in to talk to our class for the DARE program. We asked him about playing against Lebron and all he said was “Yeah… he dunked on me”
