The Last Bass Outpost

beautiful,
when i win the lottery i will be hitting you up for a riddler bass VI

nice, as always

Thats beautiful, when I win the lottery Im definitely coming to you for my 12 string !

Very sad,
 he was the lead guitarist at my very first concert at the tender age of 14, Whitesnake on the slide it in   tour in 1984.

 I had nothing to compare it to so he seemed amazing to me

nice, and well deserved

I'm pretty dispraxic so all my instruments start getting reliced pretty quickly.

but for my current build I want to keep it clean and shiny for as long as possible.

so my question is , does anyone know whether putting loads of extra layers of laquer will make it any more resistant to getting dinged?

or will more make it more likely to crack?

I feel like more should be better but...

That is one of the most beautiful builds I have ever seen

Huzzah!
 I was really starting to think it had gone for good.

made me realise how much checking in here was part of my day

thank you

so my educational journey to get to the point where I can do a Masters in Music Therapy has taken me through a level 3(A level for us oldies) in Music Performance and a Batchelors  Degree in Music Production

I've finally got round to posting all the music I've made along the way to youtube..

First year level 3 music Production Module : two original songs in different genres. I started with a reggae piece



First year level 3 Music Production Module part 2. this started out as classic rock, then it got funky, then gothy, and finally came over all space rock, is Funky Space Rock a genre?



Second  year level 3 Recording Module: the first time I had the balls to sing lead



Second  year level 3 Main Project : An EP of original songs - I found myself in a psych rock band with a bunch of Gen-z kids who weren't even born when acid rock was a thing. If you like it the rest of the EP is on my youtube channel



Second year project,  Music Production Degree :  An EP of classic goth tunes re-imagined as Swamp Blues (again the rest of it is on my youtube channel)



for my Third year main project I couldnt decide between 3 ideas I had for fun cover versions so instead of a full album  I did a couple in each style

Bowie songs in the style of Motorhead : (Space oddity is also on youtube)



Nu Metal covers of protest songs ( For What its Worth and First we take Manhattan also on youtube ) 



the last one needs a bit of explaining. The Sisters of Mercy's Andrew Eldtritch has been on 2 decade long strike with his record company. he refuses to release any new music. they have written a bunch of excellent  new songs, but the only way to hear them is live. At around the time I was deciding what to do for my project someone made a flippant remark in a Sisters group about releasing the songs for him....
for extra spice I recorded it in the style of the first sisters lineup, I used samples of the drum machine they used back then, played bass like Craig Addams and my guitarist really nailed Wayne Hussey's style of 12 string guitar



a project I did in the second year saw me digging out the 4 track tapes of my demos from my band I was in in the 90's and giving them a modern production

whats the name of the thread where we post our music? cant seem to find it

Slash's new blues standards album, Orgy of the Damned, is fantastic.

no disrespect to Miles Kennedy but having guest vocalists really seems to bring out the best in Mr Hudson

They had good players later, but none with that personality. After that, to me it was just "The Chrissie Hynde project with the Pretenders drummer"

a work buddy of mine made the jump from being their bass tech to being their bass player

Thank a fella named J.P. Sousa. One of the most brilliant march composers in history. Practically every march he ever wrote is an earworm. Marches may be out of favor as popular music, but every 4th you will find large crowds savoring every note, and his marches play continually with fireworks displays.

my favourite De Sousa march

Mötley seem to go back to their Corabi daze which were musically viable if commercially a failure:



the CGI guys had such a lot of fun with that

song was fun too, John 5 is a good fit
