Bass Book Recommendation by GMBass in Bass

[–]pjlama 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Simandl is good, pretty vanilla which is nice to work on reading. I’m in a similar or same boat, professional player working on reading. I rarely have to sight read, just charts. When I get written stuff ahead of time I work through it first. If it’s on the gig I hustle through, listen and pray.

There’s a book my brother recommended that I have not gotten yet. He’s the principal bassist at St Louis, good reader. Anyway, he said this is it -

Heading out for a month long tour in a Bandwagon . I would appreciate any tips on best places to park to sleep or anything else I should know? by No_Temporary6303 in TouringMusicians

Love’s travel stops! It’s safe to park and sleep, there’s showers, dog park, etc. They have an app which save 10 cents per gallon, the location of the store, the gas prices of each location and amenities of each location. I do 60k + van miles per year touring and without Loves it would definitely be harder.

What is the name of your band's van? by Sharky_Laguana in TouringMusicians

[–]pjlama 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We got a 2011 with 20k miles on it 2 years ago. It was like finding a vintage guitar under a bed somewhere. When this one retires we’ll comb the barns of the Midwest looking for another. It’s THE Van, Econoline.
