I saw that there's a new series: Bassquatch Hunter...
At first I thought "Cool! Monster bass players!" (Jaco, James Jamerson, Lemmy, Victor Wooten, Stanley Clarke, etc.)
But no. It's a fucking fishing show. 🤬

Original SAINT VITUS Bassist MARK ADAMS Dead At 64 Years Old
We wish Mark's family and friends all the best.

Ok, #jazz folk, take the time today to put this in your ears! New stuff from #bassist Kaisa Mäensivu. So good! https://lnk.to/TakingShape
Andy Rourke, the #bassist for indie legend #TheSmiths, has died aged 59.
I didn’t realize until I was much older the strong connection between Brazillian #RockMusic and The Smiths through their early influence on Bands from #Brasília in 1980s: you can hear how Andy Rourke’s grooves inspired #BassLines from bands like #OsParalamasDoSucesso, #LegiãoUrbana, #CapitalInicial, and #PlebeRude. #RIP Andy Rouke! https://www.designative.info/2023/05/19/for-inspiration-this-charming-man-by-the-smiths/
I’ve kinda been tossed into the percussion world so naturally I had to get a new toy. It only took 1 gig sitting hunched over a standard cajon for me to know I needed a slaptop instead. And it has pickups so going through my bass amp is amazeballs! Here’s my first few minutes with it…

Looks like I'm not gonna get another round. 😜 No huhu. The main thing is I got some yayas out, and did boom boom in public.
#Bass #Bassist #Basstodon #BassistsAgainstRacists #BassistenGegenRassisten

Well! That was fun! We did Sweet Home Chicago, Suzy Q, and Hey Joe... all comfortably within my wheelhouse, so no huhu there. We did OK, if I do say so myself.
There's a full house, and at least one other bassist, but I *MAY* get another round.
#Bass #Basstodon #Bassist #BassistenGegenRassisten #BassistsAgainstRacists





My ride comes in an hour and a half; I'm ready to go now. 🤣 It was like this in Frankfurt, too, rarin' to go entirely too early for the night's festivities.
My ciggy case is loaded. A sweat towel (I know what happens once I get going) is in the gig bag, along with strap, cable, etc. Even some picks for those rare occasions when my nails just won't do.
Calm down, Blippy.
What can I say? I get excited at the prospect of struttin' my stuff, and going boom boom.
Change of plans for tonight. Everything is still a go, AFAIK, I've just decided to go with my go-to girl, Jenny, a modified HB Shorty, instead of the P clone.
#Bass #Basstodon #Bassist #BassistsAgainstRacists #BassistenGegenRassisten

So. The plan is for 5 of us to pile in a car tonight, and head over to Höchst for the Stormy Monday jam session.
Since it's a blues jam, I'm going to bring a "P" w/flats.
Since I'm churchmouse poor, it's not a Fender, it's an El Cheapo. Not even a Glarry, a Glarry CLONE!
🤣 No worries. It doesn't sound like a cheap piece of shit anymore.
Trip and antics will be documented for the record.

Unreleased Van Halen Music to be Released in the Future, Says Former Bassist
We're gonna get a deep dive of unreleased Van Halen in the future. The post Unreleased Van Halen Music to be Released in the Future, Says Former Bassist appeared first on MetalSucks.
#VanHalen #UnreleasedMusic #FutureRelease #MusicNews #Bassist #MichaelAnthony

I decided on a P with flats for Monday. 🎸
#Bass #Bassist #Basstodon #BassistenGegenRassisten #BassistsAgainstRacists


Woo hoo! Finally heard about the field trip to Höchst for the Stormy Monday jam session...
It would appear 3 of us are going in a no-smoking vehicle. Plenty of room for me and my bass. Since it's only a half hour trip by car, I'm sure I can hold out that long.
Now it's a question of which bass to bring: Long scale? Shorty? Rounds? Flats? 😜 BEAD?
It's blues, so I'm leaning towards flats on a P.
#Bass #Basstodon #Bassist #BassistenGegenRassisten #BassistsAgainstRacists
Nothing further about the field trip to Höchst for the Stormy Monday jam session next week. Just me jumping up and down saying I'll help with gas.
Train is not an option.
The Wiesbaden thing is this Thursday. I'm gonna bring a bass, just in case. I'm going to check out the scene, not to play. It's being advertised as an open stage. Open Stages are not welcoming for a lone wolf bassist.
Anyway, I do believe I'm gonna go finger someone's bottom, and make 'em moan.

@mewbassprr
Open jam sessions.
Bassists are always in demand, almost revered; you WILL get stage time. Regardless of your skill/experience.
No one is expecting you to be Jaco, or know every song they throw at you, or sight read. (MAYBE basic charts)
As a bassist, even boners usually sound OK in the mix. Root thumping is OK.
If you're far from the city, playing along with radio stations you don't normally listen to.
There's no such thing as too much theory.
Out for a glorious run with some colleagues this morning before jumping back into the truck and heading to the next stop. Nice to keep that sense of normalcy while on the road. #tourlife #windensemble #doublebass #bassist
Heh. The local open stage crew is organizing a field trip to the Stormy Monday blues jam in Höchst.
I've played there a few times when I still lived in Frankfurt.
If it's a caravan of cars, I'm in.
If they decide train, I'm out. For the exact same reasons I don't go to *ANY* of the jam sessions in Frankfurt: it's a minimum 3 hour round trip, more likely 6.
Plus the mobility issues.
Also, the jam sessions tend to end late. Trains are sporadic in the wee hours.

I suppose it behooves me to post another introduction. But, since I'm also a lazy bastard, I'll just C&P my profile.
Blippy, apparently a mutant Sea Slug of some sort, was found in a Nuclear/Biological waste disposal facility near Oldenburg, DE sometime in 1959.

Mono synth bassist or bass guitarist wanted for trio with a dozen or so demos/ideas already recorded. Think Dilla meets Grant Green in a jam session with a bit of Jeff Parker thrown in. #bass #bassist #musicianeastmidlands #ukbass https://youtu.be/b4hkqnAX6P0

Attention Basstodon: I have opinions about the Fender Gold foil Jazz bass
It isn't a jazz bass.
The most iconic part of the J-bass tone, at least to me, is the warm, tight, slightly nasal, burbling bridge pup (e.g. in Jaco Pastorious's stuff).
This bass dispenses with a bridge pup. Sure, it's very pretty. But the tone is not going to be classic J-bass tone. Imo.

New server, new intro post!
I'm Ellie. I live in Nashville but I'm originally from Chicago (and it will always be home even though I'm too much of a wuss to handle Midwest winters anymore).
I'm a musician (bass, woodwinds, mediocre guitar, vox), a writer, and a chef in the vegan niche.
Here is a lengthy blob of hashtag interests, followed by a very appropos music video for my new server: #nashville #chicago #dogs #musician #bassist #writer #scifi #startrek #veganfood #veganchef #farscape #satanist #songwriter #cows #opossums #queer #bisexual #pansexual #malort #indierock #yallternative #altcountry #metal #triphop #eldermillennial #90skid
Also a heartfelt thank you to my last server, indiepocalypse.social, for being the first server on Mastodon to welcome me. Y'all are great. 🖤
I've made the jump. I'm a #php developer, #bassist, #synth player, #retrogaming fan and #sworddancer. Glad to be here, been a fan of @SDF for many years.
The last time I've worked from an external studio. In this case it was the SAE in London.
February 2017, recording fretless bass for Callum Gardner's debut single "Commit to the List".
Ended up re-recording the part in my studio because before the official release I've worked out a slightly more elaborate line.

I have changed my mind about this Old Spice ad:
1) Me’Shell Ndegeocello plays bass solos.
2) I don’t know if I want to smell like Me’Shell Ndegeocello, but I absolutely would like to smell her.

Hi! I call myself Oskar, or K. Oskar, am from Germany and self taught #bassist and #leadsinger of a, sometimes #gloomy, five-piece #postpunk #band called "Our Visit To The Moon". There's nothing to hear or see online from us yet, but we started to work on our first demo and we're gonna play our first gig at the end of this month. We're really looking forward to that!
I'm excited to chat about #makingmusic, tips on #vocals, #gear, how to get certain #sounds or music in general!😁
renewed #introduction
#GenX #WifeGuy with #adhd and a teen with #adhd (it's a lot sometimes and i don't envy my partner)
#linguist with #CogSci vibes and an interest in #philsci now working in industry (w occasional academic foray) on #speech and #NLP adjacent things with #Python
weekend #bassist (CAKE, VF, Police, Meters when I'm feeling ambitious) but too shy/self-critical to play with others
#leftist at heart (weak on praxis)
i frequently re-read Baudelaire's "Enivrez-vous" ("Be Drunk")
Ok #introduction time!
I’m a #bassist turned software worker. Started in #webdev, picked up some #gitops skills, became a #DevOps / #SRE type & now am a software engineering manager 👨🏻💻
Also co-founder & help lead @somervilleyimby, a pro-housing, pro-sustainability advocacy org.
Follow me for toots on #politics #housing #transportation #music #software #devops #sre & how these things intersect w/ being better people & better communities, most notably around health & equity.
So a friend (guitarist) and I are starting a band, based in Vancouver.
We are looking for a bassist, guitarist and vocalist. Please contact me if you are interested. We don't have a genre yet, but it's going to be inspired by Alice in Chains, Stoner Metal, Deathmetal and Deathcore. But the style of music is yet to be determined. #band #bassist #vocalist #guitarist #askfedi #metal

I'm gathering I'm supposed to do an #introduction from other posts. I'm Ellie (she/her), an #ElderMillennial living in #Nasvhille but originally from #Chicago.
Work: I'm a #musician — #bassist, #songwriter, mediocre #guitarist, amateur #producer. I'm a #writer currently floundering at the ~5k word mark in #NaNoWriMo. I'm a #chef specializing in #vegan food.
Other things: I love #dogs and post too many pictures of mine. #Cows are my favorite animal. I love #scifi especially #Farscape and #StarTrek. #Halloween is the only holiday that matters. Firmly #antitheist, definitely #Satanist, but occasionally find myself talking to nature or playing with runes. So far #leftist I'm amazed I can even use my right hand anymore.
I have edited this post 413 times.
I'll pretty much follow anyone back who isn't a bigot, so say hi. :)
#introductions... I'm a #bassist of over 30 years playing, love #funk #music and anything with great #bassguitar in it. Currently studying with #scottsbasslessons to try to fill the gaps in my knowledge, which is really helping.
Came over here to find out how good the platform is, pleasantly impressed with what I find. Hoping the right wing nut jobs and conspiracy theorists tire of screaming at each other and finally find some peace, but I doubt it.
Thankful.
Right, doing the reintroduction thing here! I'm Steve, a #musician (solo #bassist, as per username ;) ), music teacher, journalist and final year PhD student.
Big interests are #music, #cycling and #education.

Hello, Fediverse. I'm an electrical engineer (for work and pleasure), a #bassist, a #linux and #bsd user, and a cat lover. I've got a list of projects including things related to renewable energy and home networking, which I make varying degrees of progress on. Expect posts relating to these now and then, along with animal pictures, music, and other things.
I sometimes post sporadically, but I usually keep an eye on my timeline. Feel free to poke me now and then.
