Re: BASS

Yours is a Fender P bass.  Mine is a MusicMan Stingray.   Both are excellent instruments. 

The Stingray is the loudest, most obnoxious bass you've ever heard.  We refer to it as THUNDERSTICK!!!   

I loves me some active pickups.

The one I sent you we aren't actually doing yet.  That was just a working bit we are still trying to get a proper arrangement for.  Everyone loves it, except the guy that wrote it, oddly enough, so he gets final say on how it goes.   He wants to play the banjo over that lick, which means someone else has to play the finger picking part on the guitar.

Re: BASS

I think that is the "your your own worst critic syndrom" I do that often only because theres no one but mysely to critique it and I think that fingerpicker is going to end up being you if no one else can keep up posted on the progress of your demo and a sneak preview if possible smile

Oh absolutely.  The funny thing is though, for this guy, it works.  He's our best song writer, but he's pretty particular about having something finished before we bring it out to the public.

Last gig cracked me up, though.  We have a girlie calendar hanging in our rehearsal space, and he noodled down some lyrics as an ode' to one of the girls on it.   We were on a break at a gig a few days later, and he's furiously writing down lyrics at the bar.  10 minutes later he steps to the mic and belts out this nifty little ditty about Ms. November.  We all fell into a four part harmony right on the spot.  It was a hit, and the first time anyone had even heard the song, including the guy that wrote it!

So things are weird like that.   big_smile

Re: BASS

Thats ok you aint that good looking anyway lol things are a little looser here, im more interested in recording and original music and this concept of producing songs for members may take a while to take hold but at least the structure is in place and the idea has worked on several projects already so im optimistic and look for a good new year we only lack participation from other members and this squabble going on is not helping matters it would make a good song "the poets rebellion" I think I will compose some music for it smile
