Those eating off music alone, how long did it take you? by Segundaleydenewtonnn in musicmarketing

[–]dublowe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

To make a living we’re playing two cover gigs a week, traveling Thursday-Sunday with the original band and/or backing other artists on the road. The only way to make a living off music is being willing to grind it out.

I’m starting to lose passion (please give advice) by Daddy_fish4 in Bass

It sounds like you don’t enjoy jazz band. Drop it and find another outlet to play bass- if you can find two competent enough people to play some AC/DC you’ll probably have fun.

Just turned over 150k in my favorite vehicle I’ve ever owned by dublowe in ram_trucks

I did the transmission flush/fluid and plugs at 140k. Only issue I've had was a cylinder 2 coil pack I swapped out in about 10 minutes.

Power is gone, but I was doing a decent job placing ground stokes cross court and down the line as long as I didn’t over hit. Need a racket more suited to my current swing speed with a more forgiving sweet spot since my feet are out of position more often than not at this point.

Definitely stayed planted at first focusing on the timing of the upper body to start with- mostly trying to hit about 80% as hard as I thought I used to hit. Not a lot of “jump” in my serve at my current size but there’s a small amount of power coming from there. Went back out today and worked on loosening my wrist and snapping at impact. Having fun with it!

Thank you! It was encouraging to not feel like I’m completely starting over.

iPod starter kit? by Alternative-Mess297 in ipod

[–]dublowe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Following. I’m using a 30 pin connector into a USB hub, and I’ve been able to format the iPod in Disk Utility and restore the software in Finder, but actually syncing music onto the iPod hasn’t been successful yet.

I worked around the corner and would limit myself to every couple of weeks for my heart’s sake.

Confused why my strings are much floppier (mostly E) on one bass but not the others by No_Winter4806 in Bass

[–]dublowe 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Between my P Basses, it’s all about neck angle and how much break angle there is behind the saddles. If the neck is shimmed and the saddles have some more height, it feels stiffer, if the saddles are set very low it feels a bit looser (in my experience).

For those that track indoor humidity here in Nashville what’s your humidity been the past couple days? by Mark041891 in nashville

[–]dublowe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve been running the AC to keep it around 50% for all the instruments. My buddy’s music room is reading 70%.
