The Bassist and Guitarist thread

[T.M.H.N.E.T]

I'm about to get really annoying, not only to the good people of this thread but also my neighbours My former neighbour (RIP Ethel) was fairly sickened of Time of your life by Greenday when I was attempting to learn 6string acoustic.

I've now bought a 4string Bass combo just in time to learn crimbo tunes

I can heartily recommend Sunshine of Your Love as a starter bassline.

 

[T.M.H.N.E.T]

got a box to play with

 

[Drago]

Presumably a bass within that box?

 

[T.M.H.N.E.T]

Yep

 

[Drago]

Ooh, a PJ. Nice.

I can heartily recommend Sunshine of Your Love as a starter bassline.

Number 38 below - there are 99 more to have a go at!

 

[Drago]

Come on @T.M.H.N.E.T you must surely be an expert player by now?

 

[T.M.H.N.E.T]

Oh aye joined a band already, Gastric Band

 

[Drago]

Today is the first day since I took up the instrument that there will be no bass practice. Too busy.

 

[T.M.H.N.E.T]

Suffering fret buzz (a lot of) followed vendor instructions to no joy and in the process broke D string...

No playing for me either

 

[Drago]

Manage to sneak in a few rounds of Locomotive Breath after my tea. Ordered a bronze nut and a stainless Schaller string tree for my Jazz build. Almost there now.

 

[T.M.H.N.E.T]

Ordered Ernie Ball Hybrid Slinky 45-105 strings.... £23

Hope to not break many

 

[T.M.H.N.E.T]

Strings changed and retuned, minute amount of buzz so I'm going to back off truss rod a touch and retune.

Massive difference made already

Had a call from Steve Lukather today. It seems his bassist was arrested and he begged me to take the stage with him to do Hold The Line.

Then I woke up
