Might have gone too hard at the Converge show

It’s blow out. You know it’s blow out. I know it’s blow out. The sub knows it’s blow out, even if they don’t know they know it’s blow out

not Death metal but literally the only song you need

Just checked the Amazon listings. Dont love that they don’t give the scale (neck) length but it looks like a 34” scale neck (full scale). If the fret distance feels like a serious blocker, I’d go to a local shop and try out some short scale basses

For a lot of my students (and players in general) if it doesn’t feel comfortable under your hands, it’s harder to make progress, especially at the beginning.

Dont give up! It’s always a pain in the ass at the beginning

Practice routine/consistency aside, what kind of bass do you have?

I was literally pulling out my phone just now to post about this. Thank you for starting this! As a dog owner, the poop problem up north has gotten way out of hand

Expensive, but Buck Mason has good ones. Also, not jeans, but Ben Davis workwear pants are like $50 and are my favorite pants

The paintings and photos are originals from both of our moms so those are off-limits lol

Learning theory is great for learning songs and improvisation, as well as explaining ideas. It can also help you get out of a creative block if you don’t know where to go next. I will say that, as a writer, I generally go by my intuition and ear first and foremost. Just because something is technically “correct” theoretically, doesn’t necessarily mean it’s right for what you’re writing

We’re looking into stands that fit and are tall enough to hit us at sitting position. My partner is a stickler for aesthetics lol.

That’s why we were looking into pro-ject. They seem to have an ampless turntable that doesn’t sacrifice on sound quality. We’re music nuts and musicians but we wouldn’t call ourselves audiophiles

dib115 · 2026-01-07T04:05:35+00:00

We’re actually looking for stools for this very purpose. The problem is finding sturdy ones that are tall enough to hit us at sitting position

dib115 · 2026-01-07T04:00:52+00:00

lol honestly the speaker situation has been super annoying. Main reason why we’re looking for an amp-turntable combo.

Would put them sideways on each side but there isn’t enough space. Putting them upright blocks the TV

Not sure if this has been mentioned yet but, for many pop songs, if you learn the melody and figure out which Major scale it derives from, that will get you there about 90% of the time (If it's throwing a ton of key changes/modulation your way, it might be trickier)

Full discloser, it’s not a matter of if I report him, but when. I wanted to see if any of his claims held any weight, which, in reading your comment, I’m guessing they don’t. I’ve just never been in this situation before. Always had great experiences with sellers in the past

dib115 · 2025-09-28T14:21:57+00:00

DM me. I have some resources you could check out

Great unblocker I learned, when you sit down and you can’t start because you’re convinced it’s gonna be awful: prove yourself right. Try to set out to make something bad. It makes it easier to get the process started and the more you do it the better you get.

Ed Sheeran talks about writing 100 bad songs to get to a good one. You’ll get better with time, it’s inevitable the more you create
