  1. I gotta say, I'm not a huge fan of pickguards.

    Even if the shape looks cool, I'd rather see wood grain, texture. I'd rather have the feel of a natural material over plastic or acryllic.

    Instead of a black synthetic pickguard, why not ebony or any other wood, even if it's got a black finish? How about metal that's been hit with flame to colorize it? Roll the edges, embed it, or bind it. Give me a good finger rest while you're at it!

    I guess it's fine on plain woods. Those almost always get painted anyway. Alternatively, they could be carved, burned, or inlayed with stone.

  4. Doing some “heavy lifting” for a gig next weekend. Getting my #yachtrock on at Guilt & Co. with the Smooth Sailors from 10pm-1am on Saturday. Transcribing some MJ, Michael McDonald, and more! #bass #electricbass #workingmusician #yvr #yvrmusic

  5. Once upon a time I was cool, and did cool things. Pic of the author playing bass with False Face Society at the Eight by Ten, Baltimore Maryland, circa 1990.

  7. @hpod16 Hi Hannah, welcome to Mastodon ! Nice bass, nice look ! I am a bassplayer too. Here is a picture from a live gig in Marseille a couple of years ago, with my duet band Garage Blonde.

  8. Here's one way to use a tremolo pedal.

    Plug it into a parallel mixer / loop switcher with a distortion so it blends the distortion in and out to give a noxious pulse.
    Plug a fuzz into a different loop and run the dry signal through.
    Reverb full wet with its own overdrive pedal in another loop.
    Blend to taste.

    Yes, I am using three different #NativeAudio distortion #effectsPedals tonight.

    I'll have sound samples... after I get that set up and figured out. 😅

  12. I hear people are even more fake on the Internet than than are IRL. You won't find that here. I'm not going to pretend that my gear is always neat. It's not. This is what things really look like.

    Sometimes, I want to try something out & have to reroute power & patch cables. Then it just stays like that for a while and the pedals are not lined up all pretty anymore. lol

    This is my "#pedalboard" in progress. Monophonic & meant to showcase what #NativeAudio has to offer.

    The #ElectronicAudioExperiments: Prismatic Wall is for the #banjo #guitar
    The #JamPedals is for the #fretlessBass side.
    They're both incredible.

  17. I got one of the last #JamPedals Ripply Falls bass #effectsPedals ever made!

    They sent out an E-mail stating they were discontinuing them. Twenty of the regular artwork remained. Within an hour of receiving the message, all those were gone. I wanted this Archenbach art version. It's really cool and is the first piece to make my #fretlessBass #pedalboard.

    #Handmade in #Greece using point-to-point circuitry, the old fashioned way.

  22. Had some extra time this morning so, I got a little practice in early! 🤓

    Here's a sloppy #dailyPractice #musicjam on my 8-string #electricBass (without it being electrified).

  23. Hi. My name is Eryck. I will be playing the 8-string tuna. 🫠 We're starting off one quarter step flat across the board before holding steady.

  27. My #NativeAudio mono #pedalboard is coming along nicely. Only a handful more to go.

    The bottom row is before the amp and the rest are in the FX loop. Signal chain is from right to left and right to left. Yes, that is a nasty overdrive After the reverb and it sounds wicked. You should try it some time.

    When the collection is complete, the actual board/shelf that holds these will have a blacklight. 😋

  28. J'ai envie d'une nouvelle guitare
    J'ai envie d'une nouvelle basse.

    Et si j'achetais la guitare Baryton Fender/Squier Classic Vibe Bass VI ?

    Ce que j'aimerais vraiment, ce serait une Squier × GTRS Bass VI.

    Je suis au courant de l'existence des Mooer P1 et P2. Mais, l'idée d'avoir le GTRS SuperKnob directement sur l'instrument, c'est vraiment le critère le plus important pour moi.

    Help me on my quest !

  29. I played my Stand-Partner-in-Crime’s #ampeg #b15 today at work with my #pbass strung with flats and be damned if that wasn’t the sound I’ve always wanted… #bass #electricbass #bassguitar #vintage

  30. Is it inappropriate to use the #jamuary tag out of season? What else should I tag these with?

    Here's tonights #dailyPractice #dailyjam on the #fretlessBass #electricBass The first section is mostly hammer-ons & pull-offs. As always, this is largely #noeffort. 😜

    If you want longer recordings where I do put in effort, tip me! Help me get an audio interface so I can properly record #music.
