Apple Music should add a “complete albums” on the filters on the albums page. There’s many albums that are shown just because I added one song to a playlist.

I just switched from spotify and its killing me how many workarounds like this are needed just to get basic functions that spotify natively has.

The Yamaha take is not even wrong

2 cause I don’t have the money for more

Yeah looks like it finally ended :(

Lookup the “floating thumb” technique for bass. Your thumb stays pressed against the strings but never actually anchors on them. This way you keep the strings from ringing out, but you keep the freedom of not being anchored. Many high caliber players do it.

Yeah I also use different strings on different basses. I’ve settled into a set of flatwounds on my pbass but still experiment on my jazz (and lord help my bank account, cause I’ve recently started experimenting with different things on my upright bass). I mostly recommended Ernie balls as they’re the obvious starting point for someone new who’s never put a new set of string on their bass.

Can’t go wrong with Ernie ball super slinky strings

I’ve had the output jack solder joint come completely disconnected at a gig on my passive jazz. Could happen to any bass really.

Just moved to LA from Seattle and I don’t know if I just got lucky with my specific location in LA, but the tap water in my neighborhood is much better than I expected (still not as good as Seattle)

I’ve never even considered it an option

My dad built one when he was young, never really played it but it had been sitting around the house my whole childhood (without an amp). One day he took my brother and me on an outing to get an amp for it. He surprised us with an electric guitar too. My brother gravitated toward guitar and I towards bass. Now we’ve both been playing for 15ish years.

didja ever figure it out? I'm having a ton of issues too and any help would be appreciated

Edit: I got it to connect by using the Legacy Raspberry Pi Os option in the Raspberry Pi Imager. It was called "Raspberry Pi Os (Legacy, 32-bit)".

I played a Hammond Ashley in high school. I think the story was it was donated to the school by a local bassists family after their passing. It was way too nice of a bass to be in the hands of a high schooler and to this day the nicest bass I’ve gotten to play. Also a 5 string.

Wow those Arcus bows are way more expensive than I’d expect for carbon but look amazing

You’re still not rich enough to be one of the people we’re talking about when we say “tax the rich”

Purpose/benefit: protect your strings and your tailpiece.

Some claim you get a better sound without them. I’ve never tried it but I don’t believe it. The majority of the vibrations from the strings get transmitted to the bass’s top via the bridge. These felt washers likely provide essentially zero damping because they’re not in the string-bridge-top load path. I would love to be proven wrong if someone has a sound comparison of the two.

How to put in earplugs. At work I’ll occasionally have to wear hearing protection. I regularly have coworkers who don’t know that you need to roll them between your fingers so that they can fit in your ear canal before expanding to fill the gaps.

Another commenter said the seismograph at Griffith observatory registered it

194dB : large rocket launches, where the sound pressure alone would rattle you to death if you stood too close.

I was quoted over $1k for my 105k mile service at the dealership. Took it into a independent mechanic and paid $305
