FRIDAY 8/20/21 6PM--seriously considering buying a bass amp and conentrating on becoming a Bass player...I need to work on playing Bass and singing at the same time...dunno when I'm gonna start working on that, maybe Monday, temporarily using my guitar amp for practice situations until I (possibly) get a Bass amp...I wanna know why Jeff got what he got (a Peavey) and how much did it cost...Litz has a used one similiar to Jeff's for roughly $250 bucks I think...
I've hardly ever sung lead guitar riffs when listening to songs in any manner, at home or in the car...but I think in terms of Bass parts--like now, listening to Tori Amos and Zappa...I DO wonnder if a 66 year old dog CAN learn a new trick?
Maybe I imagined it, but I think someone expressed surprise last night that, after playing Bass for a couple of hours, I switched to guitar...what I think I might have possibly heard was "You don't play Bass like a guitar player..." SOME guitar players DO play Bass the same way they play a guitar, which generally means NOT thinking like a member of the RHYTHM section...
SATURDAY 8/21/21 3:44 PM--as expected the Bass doesn't sound all that good (to me) coming outta a GUITAR amp, but that's what I have, so it will have to do, for the time being...a lot can happen between now an and TUESDAY, but I'm planning to take the Bass to the Main Stage...I dunno what Ruth uses there, but I guess I'll find out...I might have a bit more value as a Bassist if I incorperate singing into my Bass playing, on the other hand, Jeff doesn't sing and neither does Ruth--as far as *I* know...
