  1. Today is the 10th anniversary of my Consolation EP.

    The title track of the EP is probably my most emotional recording. It's a fretless bass improvisation that involves the use of a looper, recorded in a single take, no edits. The piece simply flowed out of me in the week after an uncle had passed away.

    Here is a fragment of the final section of the piece where you hear the evolution of dozens of loops playing over each other.

  2. After church this morning, I was home solo for a bit so I played bass a while then drove an hour to band rehearsal where I, well, played more bass for about 2.5 hours

    and then Tony's church was without a bass player for their evening services so I was invited to sit in

    so I played more bass, like 8 or 10 songs that I'd never heard or seen before based only on my ear and some really dodgy chord charts

    and it turned out fine

    Anyway, I got to play lots of bass. It was a good day.

  8. Time for a serious stamina check! Tom Araya’s bass work on Slayer's "World Painted Blood" is a masterclass in relentless alternate picking and aggressive thrash metal tone.

    If you want to test your right hand, I've posted the official sheet music & Session Notes on how to get that metallic clank to cut through the mix. Tune down to Eb Standard and dig in!

    Read the breakdown:

  9. CW: Bass guitar erotica

    Come on, you can't call yourself #Bassists if you have never fallen so in love with a new #bassguitar that you take it to bed just so that you can wake up with it in the morning.

  10. My fretless 6-string bass' onboard preamp died and I'm in the repair process for around $200 for the new parts. If anyone wants to put some bread towards that, here's my Ko-fi.

  11. I got an awesome new bass guitar today. 5 string fretless by Warwick.

    I'm still VERY much getting used to it, my intonation is pretty shit, but this thing feels and sounds so incredible, especially that super low end.

    Here's me fumbling through the Cosmo Canyon theme from the original Final Fantasy VII. It's by no means my best work ever and some stuff I tried didn't quite land. but still had fun grabbing this recording

    hopefully I managed to capture the line out from the amp halfway decently

  13. Björk'ü o kadar sevmiştim ki İstanbul'un Asya tarafına geçip Kadıköy'de korsan CD yazan bir dükkandan, içinde kliplerinin olduğu "Volumen" DVD'sini yazdırıp satın almıştım

    Dükkân raflara fotoğraflı kapakları da olan DVD'lerin boş kutularını koymuştu

    Eğer birini satın almak isterseniz bilgisayardan boş DVD'ye yazıp kutuya koyup veriyordu

    O DVD hâlâ duruyor! ツ

    Artık öyle dükkanlar yok. Çünkü artık Türkiye'de her şey bulunabiliyor.

    CD'lerim ise orijinaldir.

  14. Björk'ün ilk 3 albümünü büyük hayranlıkla almıştım, ama giderek müziği benim sevemediğim şekilde değişmeye başlamıştı.

    "Debut" en sevdiğim ilk albümüdür

    Bu videoda bas gitar ile çaldıkları "Army of me" ikinci albümü "Post"un açılış şarkısıdır. Aslında Post'u da severim

    Fakat üçüncü albümü "Homogenic"ten sonra diğer albümlerini satın almadım

    Dünyada da böylemi acaba? Türkiye'de de elektro gitar deyince çoğu kişi bas gitar ister!

    My pit bull sort of recreates the RCA "His Master's Voice" logo.

    I was practicing bass in the back yard.

  16. Listening to a BBC Sounds podcast, "The Rise and Fall of #Madchester", has got me back into the music of the #StoneRoses.

    That in turn has got me back into playing #BassGuitar. Which has made me realise that my little fingers are far too puny to hold down fat bass strings.

    So I'm trying to use my grip strength trainer with just my ring (for balance) and little fingers.

    Anyway, I can recommend bbc.co.uk/sounds/brand/p0ftp7p as a listen.

  21. It's Carol Kaye's birthday, so check out the wikipedia for her multiply-immortal, mind-melting, totally unbelievable fully insane discography:

    Edit: she liiiiives

  22. No EU quiz today, just a picture of a #BassGuitar and my new hair colour, which is more #purple than it was before.

    The song I'm working on in this photo is called Honey Boy, my friend and band member Jose wrote it and it's kind of his coming out story (I think).
    It's very joyful and I hope one day we'll make a decent recording of it.

  23. Finishing off my list of favorite female #Bass players for #internationalWomensDay, Poland’s Kinga Glyk is an upcoming superstar who deserves more attention than she gets. A real virtuoso on the #BassGuitar | #Music #MusicVideo

  24. Talking about awesome female #BassGuitar players, India’s Mohini Dey is amazing. Rick Beato interviewed her on his popular YT channel. She’s played with everybody, from A.R. Rahman to Steve Vai and Quincy Jones. She’s just that good. #InternationalWomensDay #bass #music #MusicVideo

  25. If you've never heard of a piccolo bass before, well here it is. All of my social profile pics were taken when promoting this one as a single at the end of '19.

    Si la bassiste et chanteuse #KimDeal a été sous-employée, elle s'est épanouie dans son groupe #breeders . Elle est passée de bassiste à guitariste, et je suis certain qu'elle a pas mal proposé pour la basse de chef d’œuvre, une des meilleures intros rock pour moi.
