Nice! Logic 11 can do Stem Splitting now. This way I can remove the #bassguitar for tracks I'm doing a play along to. It's not perfect but already so much better than not having it. Wondering how well this is going to help me to transcribe stuff 🤔 #basshttps://youtu.be/exLkvKjs3GQ?si=_0ZVai7JlSoCACtE&t=2077
A few people have asked me recently about in-person bass lessons, so I thought I'd better write about why I only teach on Zoom these days, and why I think it's actually better than the in-person lesson experience.
I finally got some time to clean up and restring this "white whale" bass I picked up last weekend.
The backstory is storied, but tl;dr I've been looking for one of these since 2016 and through a lot of bullshit, I finally found someone selling one online in mint (pun intended) condition. Nerdy details in Alt Text.
From a very limited, custom run: I present my "new" Stingray 🤘 🎸
I'm sure it will make its debut in a new video sometime... 😎
i know these are “cheap” pedals, but i really wanted to just see how things go with something affordable before i invest a lot of money in fancier units. also, no fancy effects yet, but hopefully will just have more control over my sound beyond the pickup controls on the bass or the bass/mid/treble controls on the amp.
Had loads of fun at the Dingwall clinic yesterday. It was a great honor to meet Sheldon in person and also had a nice chat with Philipp Rehm, who is a killer #bass player 🤘 People were also quite interested in my #fretless bass that I brought to the event 😸 #bassguitar
So I got to tour Blackbird Studio today and ask questions and it took EVERYTHING I HAD not to fondle the #BassGuitar collection sitting in a rack because they all had that worn finish that says "this is a good instrument that gets played a lot"
still figuring out what to do, having this weekend pretty much all to myself. decided to pick up my #bassGuitar and learn some new things.
here’s “i wish” by stevie wonder. feels good to be adding songs to my limited repertoire. i’m still not great, but i can feel myself progressing which is a really nice feeling.
Rest In Power to the brilliant bassist Aston "Family Man" Barrett, who provided so many of the iconic low end lines and grooves that powered classics by Bob Marley & The Wailers, Burning Spear, Peter Tosh, The Upsetters, Alpha Blondy, and numerous others. Thank you for the music Maestro Barrett! #music#bassguitar#reggae#restinpeace#bobmarley
I started to incorporate shoulder exercises in my practice routine. Had to sift through a lot of quackery to find good ones. When we play #bass we tend to care more about our fingers and forearms, but our shoulders also play a central role. Don't neglect them!
