  1. How do you describe the "first position" in the #bass ? What makes it identifiable as such ?

  2. Ich hab mir ein Bass-Buch von Alex Webster gekauft. Er empfiehlt darin sich Drunken Wisdom von Overkill anzuhören, als Beispiel für das Zusammenspiel von Bass und Gitarre als rhythm section.

    Heißer Tipp 🤘🏻

  3. CW: Solutions To Problems, Fire, Blood

    Playing the bass, discover a new weird buzz. Not coming from the pickup, the amp, it's... coming from the body of the bass? Is it shorting out? WTF.

    Poke at it, discover a thin layer of peeled plastic has come up off the pickup, and at long range of motion on the low E, is getting touched, making a bizarre noise.

    Do I want this noise? Maybe. Does it muck up what I'm currently (badly) playing? Very much so.

    Squeeze my too-small-for-bass-guitar fingers under the strings. No blood yet. Maybe I can... index and ring finger together, grip it. It peels down onto the front face of the bass.

    It is at this point I realize the bass, which I nabbed a while back, shipped with a protective peelable plastic, which *somehow* has been heat applied over the pickups, over the face of the bass, over everything.

    I. Peel. The plastic.

    Strings are in the way, I frowst about under them like a fox in a too-small wuzzy. There is a trivial but increasing flow of blood. I pause for a cloth and then a layer of super glue. There is no super glue in the house.

    There is no styptic powder in the house.

    I emit sounds of dubious intelligence – grunts – and proceed to go about my business anyway. Eventually, with some small consequence, the entire face of the base is clear of protective plastic. Like a newly skun phone-face, it looks much better. Excepting, I suppose, the slight smears of blood. A cleaning takes place, a disinfecting, during which I consider whether bass guitars might become contagious. And whether I’ve had enough sleep for this sort of thing or not.

    Back to playing.

    The buzz is worse. There are two new buzzes. I turn on the proper light and discover the grippers for the pickups have gripped the protective plastic some. I emit a further sound of dubious intelligence, waking the Big Smart Dog, who demands walkies. I’ve just cleaned this, I’m no longer a leaky mess, I’m not cramming my fingers in under there again.

    Tweezers? Chop sticks? Wait.

    Fire.

    I take both the bass and the BSD outside. I use a stick lighter to burn the plastic, much to the disgust of the BSD, and emit yet another sound. I like to think this one is vaguely smarter than the others, but it’s still a grunt. The BSD grunts back.

    We go for a walk, mostly with me playing the bass, but sometimes in the dark and narrow paths, the trees do too. Coming back in, I find my freshly beautified bass has experienced pine tar. I decide it adds character and resist setting it on fire.

  12. CF Signals: Monotone – With U [tentapes]

    The deconstruction of the contemporary club finds a field of absolute subversion within the hybridization of artistic identities. Monotone is the live electronic music project formed by Francesco Presotto and Kimi Recor—artists with extensive backgrounds under their monikers Ex.Hale and DRÆMINGS across imprints like Sonic Groove, Voidance, or Sumerian Records—whose proposal geographically oscillates between Venice and La Coruña. Joining forces, the duo deconstructs common compositional standards to erect a vision characterized by dark textures, atmospheric weight, and a distinctive ability to provoke a feeling of artistic and textural asphyxiation within the listener.

    For the sixth release in the tentapes catalog, we welcome Monotone with Fictional Science, an immersive experience composed of four deeply emotional pieces blending field recordings and powerful low-end. The closing point and peak acceleration of this sonic universe concentrates on With U. The cut completes the release’s emotional circle in a definitive fashion, driving a continuous high energy from the start that drifts between the idyllic and the ineffable.

    https://soundcloud.com/clubfuriess/cfs-monotone-with-u-tentapes

    The track’s architecture manages tension with analog mastery, reaching sonic deltas that dip straight into silence—structural containment voids suspending the room’s breath—before forcefully reclaiming the flight previously undertaken. Altogether, it solidifies as one of the week’s most refined works, where sound design and physical force advance in flawless harmony.

    Towards the denouement, the composition avoids complacent solutions; the structure interrupts its rhythmic drive abruptly mid-sonic effervescence, leaving the synths’ echo and emotion floating like an unfinished interference in the dark. With Fictional Science, Monotone and tentapes sign a sharp editorial stance: a manifesto proving that avant-garde live electronic music reaffirms itself when capable of jarring both the body and the psyche.

  13. i figured out that you can derive the melodic minor scale by sharping the 7th degree of the Dorian mode! that realization inspired this little chord progression, which i decided to put on a reggaeton beat because one of my friends told me he has been really into reggaeton lately :) this one is just for fun, but who knows... it could work as a jam

  14. Playing around w/ my #NativeAudio #effectsPedals #pedalboard.

    I am disappointed in the #EarthQuakerDevices tentacle octave pedal. It doesn't really do anything. On low notes it adds a meh-sounding distortion. I can't tell if it's even adding an octave on the highest notes or just making them sound a little brighter.

    No wonder the guy was selling it. After the fact, I went to EQD's website & they say in the FAQ it's not really for #bass & might make bad noises. On guitar, to use above 12th fret.
    🫥

    I've relegated it for use exclusively after delay+reverb. It looks cool.

    Anyways, this Frydead Fuzz sounds good.

    I need to reorder the rest… 😅
