If I played bass it would probably be overly leady - much like world politics. Still, I think there's a lot of room in bassdom besides roots n rivuhmmm.

Members Mike M Posted June 8, 2020 Author Members Share Posted June 8, 2020 G'morning all, At this point in my bass venture (trying to get out of the "rather sucky" stage) I spend some time searching bass-related articles. I did find one that peaked my interest....'thought I'd share... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Mike M Posted October 1, 2020 Author Members Share Posted October 1, 2020 Hey guys, I'm still-at-it. I was a little sporadic on my July/August practicing due to fishing/beach, etc. (played twice a week) but became consistent five-days-a-week as of Sept 1st (wife went back to work). At this time I'm learning the bass part to "September" by EWF. It's not too bad and I find it interesting as I try playing the patterns on different parts of the neck.... fwiw: I like the sound of the open A and E strings....very resonant.

Yes, the amp is a Hartke Kickback 10 (w/ a Peavey Mellinium BXP bass). It's my daughter's bass rig when she played bass in the junior high school jazz band 8 or 9 years ago.... It's kind of a beginner's set up I guess.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members 1001gear Posted October 1, 2020 Members Share Posted October 1, 2020 I asked because you like the sustain on open strings. Have you tried improvising on pop tunes? Not notey riffs per se but good bass parts. Good notes, voice leading etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
