Uh... We can ... I mean, look. We're good at...

F Rumbles are great. That's a great example why lol

Now you just have to use the threat of turning it up to end discussions

B A S S !

Same. Very, very heavily hinted at a used bass guitar for Christmas this year. Put a harmonica on the list as a joke as I was being nagged to put more stuff on the list.

Now I own a harmonica.

You can get a cheap $80 bass on Amazon. They actually last a long time, i still play mine, and it keeps your tuning forever.

Grab one of those and play for a year. It's the perfect starter bass.

Look, everyone knows that the bass player carries the band>!'s gear!<

I mean id probably go all out and get something in the $750 range ish. I'm a musician and I play many instruments, just haven't gotten to bass yet.

is it possible to change tunings on a bass from say E to Eb without needing to take it into a shop? I say this because it is possible on guitar but I'm not sure if the giant bass string tension will make this process different and more difficult.

[passerby6497@lemmy.world]

That's your mistake, you should have included accessories for the guitar so they'd feel guilted into buying it for you.

Or you just get a bunch of accessories and nothing to use then with.

She plays in The Warning, which seems pretty strongly classic rock based on their most popular song.

[cracks_inthewalls@sh.itjust.works]

I own my part in this, though I know if I added the amp, cables, maybe a pedal, and some guitar picks, I would have ended up with a nice collection of guitar picks.

Because my wife and kid are assholes who think they are hilarious, which I have encouraged because I am too.

Not according to my maracas..

[tachyontele@lemm.ee]

Oh yeah in your case go for what you want.

You can tune to e flat, sure. The bass is just the four bottom strings of a guitar, with a bigger gauge. EADG is the normal tuning

[pilferjinx@lemmy.world]

Yeah. I tune to Eb when I feel like playing some guns n roses with no issues. I think I like guitar and bass equally. Bass is definitely more fun though.

[_____@lemm.ee]

what kind of bass do you recommend? I mostly play prog rock, rock fusion and metal/power metal

[pilferjinx@lemmy.world]

Honestly, whatever looks and feels the best for you. I would, generally, stick to mid range basses. Something that can be properly set up to play comfortably. Your tone will mostly come from your amp/cab so don't worry about pickups too much.

[knock_knock_lemmy_in@lemmy.world]

Or get a 5 string for those super low notes.

[bysmuth@lemmy.zip]

Then how did you know this was a joke at all?

[funkytom467@lemmy.world]

I recently ha a crush on Juna Serita.

Imo the only thing more attractive than a girl playing the bass is a girl playing funky bass : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3K8dNctci1Y

[valmond@lemmy.world]

Wow.

How do you get more of that music?
