The Bassist and Guitarist thread

[Fab Foodie]

My favourite bassist - I may be biased!
Just back from supporting Biffy Clyro at the Digbeth Arena, Birmingham.....

 

[Drago]

You mean I'm not your favourite bassist?!

For a variety of technical reasons I haven't been able to do any recording recently, but now I've got Windows 10 loaded I can use my old Sonar Software. So I celebrated by doing a quick instrumental using a few different cameras and some cheapo video software. Discovered it's not a good idea to have each camera set up with different frame-rates and qualities, but a bit of random jiggery pokery and I got something usable.

Not much heavy rock widdling going on here, but this is my style:

My Tanglewood and Yamaha alongside boxed Gatorskins. What do CC'ers think is the most interesting?

always warmed to the Pacifica... probably because it's one of the few half decent lefty electrics shops bother to stock. (there nothing more annoying than going into a shop with fifty guitars and only being able to consider two or three of 'em)

@delb0y ...love what you're playing there. Far more listenable than any heavy rock. Would love to learn some of those tunes. They remind me of Appulachuh.

Is that a pacifica in 112? I had one in sunburst.

Not sure tbh Pacifica is about 2010, Tanglewood 2005

 

[Drago]

Actually, I don't tbink it is a 112, but is very similar.

Edit, yours is a 112V, a later redesign of the original 112.

I play the Tanglewood 95% of the time, can't be arsed plugging the Pacifica in

 

[Drago]

I loved my Pacifica, really punched above its weight for the price, so I'll break convention and choose that over the Dangleberry.

Hold the Line and while Lotta Love today, the latter being ridiculously easy but very satisfying to thump along to. I think I've got bass figured out. I'm far from being a maestro, but I've a solid basic command of the instrument now.

Oooh, not enough years Mr D, not enough years!
Bass is generally far easier to get started on than guitar, but much harder to master in the long run.
But a massively handy skill to have.
What does a bassist have that a guitarist doesn't?
A gig.

 

[Drago]

Yeah, I've enjoyed it so far...but I'm waiting for the fall!

I need to find an elderly singer, drummer, and geetarist, and get some gigs in. Get those groupies warmed up
