New Bass In Everyplace
New Bass Goes Boinky
Enduring a little inconvenience or discomfort after acquiring a new instrument is to be expected. I might be enduring a little bit too much.
The strings are too far away from the fretboard. After these next performance, I’m gonna lower the action on my own. Remember all the complaining I did about a song in the previous video? Because the action is too high. Sure, I’m a dummy to go from a thin neck to a thick neck, but the action is still too high.
High action sounds cool, but it’s out of balance. I have to try really hard to overpower the strings and that should cause lots of rattling. It does not. It’s too easy to play hard and that means that the strings could be a little bit lower and I should be playing softer. Controlled softness helps musicians achieve quickness. I believe I just described the word, “finesse.”
Free Pro Tip!
(I don’t even know where one would pay for a lesson like this. Oh wait, you can pay me here on #Hive.)
What’s missing from my image background? We can see my bass, the bass amplifier, and maybe a cable or two.
Do we see my cases?
Do we see a backpack or a security blanket?
Do we see a bunch of water bottles, sandwich, bags, dolly, random cable bag…
No.
The easiest way to look professional is to only have what’s essential. If you think you need to scramble into your bag during the middle of a song, you might have other logistical problems.
Functional detailed preparedness is a practice.
Have a nice music.
