Oh it's Bandcamp Friday again already!

If you like songs & you like bass guitar, you might like my stuff.

Hmm maybe I'll do a thread later if I'm not too busy, with a few words about each of the 11 songs I've got up on Bandcamp so far, so people are more likely to find one they like.

I want to get back into teaching . Especially . That's why I made a little thing. It's still in German only but will add an English version if people are interested 😸 https://raichoosbassstudio.de/

Hiya, I'm Kris! 💗

I'm a #bisexual :v_bi:​ #ambiamorous :v_amam:​ boy who lives in Katowice, Poland - I also am a CompSci graduate who has been working in IT for the past 5 years 😊​

My main obsessions are #goth and #vaporwave #music. I also enjoy #anime & video #games (as many people do :blobfox3c:) and I'm learning to play the #bass guitar. Among my other interests are #retro computing, #tarot, craft #beer, #archaeology, and #astronomy. I love chatting about all of my interests - do not hesitate to DM me if you wanna talk about any of them 💗
I also have 2 beautiful #cats :)

I love going on nerd rants about various micro-interests of mine, posting dumb memes, and also being very gay on main, you have been warned :blobcatevil: :Fire_Bisexual: I occasionally boost CW'd NSFW posts. 🔞

I've absolutely fallen in love with Fedi - I'm very happy that I found this lovely instance and was able to settle in here with all the wonderful people :blobCatComfySoff:
See you around 🥰

Oh dear, people, I think I just fell in love with Geoff Castellucci. How is his voice so creamy in that low register!? https://youtu.be/J4YznRtXlE0

I probably just saw the worst online #bassguitar lesson I've ever seen and it made me unreasonably angry. I get that people want to cash in on the (well deserved) SBL hype, but there is so much grifting out there. What's your take on that? #bass

Hanging on Linus Klausenitzer's Discord certainly leads to a massive craving for #fretless #bassguitar. 😸 #bass

Habe ich neulich in einem auf Youtube entdeckt, da hatte der Tutor das an.
Hat mir meine Freundin letztes Wochenende dann in ihrem Maschinenpark nachgedruckt. 🥰

Hello #basstodon community. Are small amps (>30 watts) useless ? Are headphone-oriented devices (Vox Amplug or heads/preamp like Warwick Gnome, Ashdown Ant, Orange Bass Butler, Two Notes Revolt Bass, Darkglass Ultra...) better suited for bass players who don't need an amp at home ? What do you think ? #bass #bassguitar

My musical goal in 2024 is to become a lot better at reading standard notation moving away from tab as far as possible.

Certainly second guessing my desire to ever set up a #bassguitar with an F# string. One string costs almost as much as an entire set of strings… but it's certainly a lot of metal. #bass https://dingwallstore.com/collections/frontpage/products/f-dingwall-nickel-string

I'm currently training an model on a and music dataset and it's getting close to the halfway mark.

Starting to get some interesting samples from the training, when it's complete I will generate some longer tracks.

This is becoming more and more of a pet peeve for me. A lot of the #music #teaching industry makes simple things appear to be utter complicated magic full of "secrets". Especially in the #guitar and #bass world this has become quite a trend on Youtube. Am I overreacting? 🤔 #bassguitar

Another quite unique fretless/fretted multiscale hybrid #bass. I wish there were more recordings of people actually playing them. I heard Dingwall is building a single digit number of #fretless customs per year. I have yet to see someone playing one. I hope they don't end up as expensive furniture. #bassguitar https://www.instagram.com/reel/Cpdkrt9gxZB/?igshid=MTc4MmM1YmI2Ng%3D%3D

Just got a compliment from a recording engineer for the "monstrous, thundering" bass tone on a rock-and-roll recording I did last summer.

I don't know if I have the heart to tell him it's a Bass VI through a tiny guitar amp. Those things really are secret weapons.

A couple of people have asked, since my recent instance change, about what I'm playing - musically speaking. Recently, I've been just messing around for a couple of hours, no more than 3-4 takes, and no previous idea of what I was going to do. Usually on a Sunday morning. As you can imagine it can vary in success widely but I'm also trying to learn how to record myself, get better at playing, everything really ... Here is a recent one.

It's provocatively entitled "240121 Song 4".

It is downright distressing how many people in my local #Craigslist ads are looking for #bass players right now

I don't know why there aren't more bass players.

  1. it's fun
  2. it's actually pretty easy if you have a good sense of time (which is trainable!)
  3. you don't have to be amazing to be what they need

Readers: sometimes there are risks to working with up-and-coming so-called "producers" at agencies:

"Why does the bass on this sound so, I don't know, old?"

"The sheet called for standup bass, so I used an upright bass."

"You mean the huge jazz things?"

(Gears grinding in my head.) "Sure, some jazz people use them."

"When I wrote 'standup' I guess I meant 'proper' and bumpin'. Can you redo it with a proper bass? And use a pedal or something?"

"Pass uff, gleich kommt Scooter!". So war es bei "A100 wegbassen"

#A100 wegbassen. Richtig und wichtig.
Ich habe von Anfang an gesagt, auf die Musik kommt es gar nicht so an, das Motto ist entscheidend. Wir wollen #Berlin 2023 nicht durch eine Autobahn teilen lassen; das kann man gar nicht oft genug betonen.

Aber holy Shit, wie ENTTÄUSCHEND war denn das Musikangebot entlang des Markgrafendamms?!
Simpelster Tekkno, als wäre es 1996. Wenn im Motto #BASS steht, dann erwarte ich auch BASS! 140, 160 Halftime, I don't care. Nicht mal Drum'n Bass war da. Und Berlin hätte eigentlich Personal: Current Value, Machinecode (DnB), Cassius Select (modernes (!) Club Zeug) und so viel mehr. Eigentlich.
Aber wenn das – bei dieser markanten Titelgebung (ich erinnere nochmal: "A100 wegBASSen") – wenn das jetzt repräsentativ für Berlins Bass-Szene sein sollte (und nochmal: der Titel suggeriert genau das), dann Gute Nacht.
Das war's dann mit Berlin als weltweites Aushängeschild für innovative weirde Club-Culture. Die Überland-Großraumdisko (beliebt auch unter dem Begriff "Dorfbumms") hat übernommen. Gehen Sie weiter, hier gibt es nichts zu sehen und schon gar nichts zu hören. Beispielsweise keine einzige 808-Kick den ganzen Markgrafendamm entlang. Bei einer "wegBASSEN"-Veranstaltung! Kann man sich gar nicht ausdenken, so bescheuert ist das.

Und ich bin nicht allein mit diesen Gedanken. Mir kam eine Gruppe entgegen, da sagte einer zu den anderen: "Pass uff, gleich kommt Scooter!". Jenau dis. So schade. Und am Rand ist ein Poster angebracht. "Spider Murphy Gang unplugged". Komplett aus der Zeit gefallen. Fast so wie die Musik hier. Passt alles zusammen.

Vielleicht war ich auf der falschen Route? Vielleicht zum falschen Zeitpunkt unterwegs? Aber egal. Zu keinem Zeitpunkt, an keiner Stelle hätte so ein grundlegendes Motto-Versagen stattfinden dürfen. Und ganz nebenbei: Die Soundsysteme (mit einer Ausnahme), so wie sie da standen, hätten richtigen Bass gar nicht leisten können.

Listening to this old song makes me wonder whether the Congolese was heavily inspired by - this is basically Respect

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=01CM8jHzQpI

(although Ernesto Djédjé, the artist in the clip, was actually against the "Congolization" of Ivorian - the fact he ranted against it means the influence was everywhere though)

My rack grew ears over the weekend. Hooked up my Wireless to some Halfwave Dipole Antennas. Going to take that for a ride on Friday 😺 #bassguitar #bass

What do you prefer for taking online #music lessons and why? I'm offering Discord and Skype because it's very wide spread among people that are not that tech savvy. #bass #bassguitar

Hello!

I do music stuff on and off. I sometimes do stage tech stuff for the glitz, the glamour, the backache and tinnitus. I like retro computing, gigs, beer, comedy. Travel and languages are an aspiration rather than a reality. I occasionally run. Been in IT infrastructure for over 20 years. Almost getting good at it now.
