A question for #basstodon - is anybody using #mainstage to run their rig? I’ve got a semi-complex setup for an upcoming show (electric bass, keyboard bass, pedal bass (Keith McMillen 12-step, the latter running soft synths) and am wondering if anyone’s got any experience/tips. #bass #electricbass #bassists

The more I think about it, the more I'm intrigued and excited to turn my shortscale #bass into a 5-string de-fretted #cello #guitar.

It's all @geoffduncan's fault for mentioning 5ths tuning.

Now, I'm imagining a song by my old band that was short and cool to listen to but, I got so bored playing it.
For a while, we had two #bassists. I'm going to see if I can solo over one part of it with this basstard of an instrument.

Also, Gizmotron and e-bow.
One day...

Shout out to Zeta Bosio, bassist for legendary Argentine rock band Soda Stereo. One of my inspirations for wanting to play and whose style I enjoy playing.

In honor of the 30th birthday of In Utero, here's me playing a bit of Dumb. Krist Novoselic was the first bassist who made me want to pick up the instrument. It wasn't even for his playing, just for his vibes, so I tried to bring those, as well as combining his bass part with the cello part here.

Oh hey, fellow #bassists! #shoutout, isn't this just what it's like on songs the guitarists or keyboardists choose?!

May is still dangerous for #bassists! Look both ways before you cross the street. https://jalopnik.com/new-thing-to-be-terrified-of-while-driving-just-dropped-1850476201

Second single from Sheridan Riley's new album is out today, I'm on bass this time for reals.

Insatiable catchiness in a classic rock tradition with a post-indie twist? I guess? Sheridan's a SLAMMIN drummer and a genius songwriter, is the main thing. Also the great Neil Welch (Bad Luck) on saxophone.

I had already heard "A Tribute To Jack Johnson" when I read this, & likely "Bitches Brew"—but it nonetheless helped open the door for me to appreciate Miles' 70s work, which immediately became formative to my understanding of How Music Works And What It Does—not to mention Michael Henderson remains one of my favorite #Bassists & primary #bass influences, along with Aston Barrett, Fernando Saunders, Billy Cox, Melvin Gibbs.

What about a *double* #doublebass? #Bassists Daniele Roccato and Giacomo Piermatti join to perform an #exstatic, #meditative #duo aptly set in a beautiful #mediaeval church in #Viterbo, #Italy! A glorious meeting of #music and #architecture, opening up a whole universe of sound, suspended in time and space.
