If you ever want to hear how a *really* sounds, try to focus on their playing during *others’* solos when they think no one’s listening

Open for bassness.

I played two sets of in last night. Thunderstorms and neon signs for real. The humidity was unreal.

Later that day, I had to turn down a festival gig because Amtrak didn’t offer any bass-friendly routes (bus transfer) to my station for the trip back. The second ticket for large instruments is also a drag.

New release with Jessica Ackerley (one of the most adventurous guitarists out there right now) and Kevin Cheli (exploring micro sound in percussion) on Cacophonous Revival:

cacophonousrevivalrecordings.b

Please share the news to people who are into: I would say but Ackerley amazingly gets all those sounds from like 2 pedals.

and I know it isn't even

I’ve been ramping up the gigs for the past few years as I try to switch to music full time. Juggling six or so bands and 100+ gigs/year has been pretty challenging. I get a lot of questions about how I manage my time and my calendar. I feel like I have a pretty good system going now, so I wrote about it.

I'd really be interested in a historical study on how the great bassists got started as being among "the greats." I am curious because all the brilliant jazz bassists were great from the start. So, they must have been "known" from the start. There must have been something in common among them that prevented them from being just another bass player. Something specific must be common at the start of their careers.

That can't be good, can it? I can only imagine how much pressure is concentrated in that one spot. That pressure should have been spread across the entire rectangular area of the bridge's foot. (I might lack the vocabulary here. What do you call that?)

I loosened the strings enough so that I could move the bottom of the bridge, and managed to get the full area of the bridge foot come into contact with the bass body. This is definitely the most audacious thing I've ever done to a .

I just unsubscribed from a guy who published yet another of those click-baity titles that told me “If you’re practicing scales to improve intonation, you’re WRONG!” Come on, don’t insult my intelligence. You’re not really as clever and special as you think you are. I’ll keep playing scales and listening each and every day. Don’t need your BS.
