Your English is better than mine, so no worries!
If it works for you and you are doing it consciously, then it is probably all good. I just mentioned it because this is exactly the kind of thing I did ‘wrong’ myself when I started. Just a friendly tip! ![]()
Playing a bit of catch up…
Not my kind’a music, but well played, @bora!
Well played, @thinktriplets !
Well played, @justarookie!
Great tune!! And very well played, @CrayWolf
Well played, @Vader !!
Still getting over my left wrist tendinitis, but I simply can’t resist playing the (new to me) Dingwall D-Roc!
Nirvana - Come As You Are
What a beautiful, iconic riff. It’s hard to believe that Nevermind was released 35 years ago. I saw Nirvana at Reading in 1992, less than two years before Kurt Cobain died. It remains one of those gigs I am so glad I saw.
Edit: Reading, 1992, it looks like Krist Novoselic played a Thunderbird, so I’m playing the right shaped bass ![]()
Great job!
You should post this in the thread for: Song 16 - “Come as You Are” by Nirvana One more of the 50 done! ![]()
Just posted, @Johnnyb, thanks for pointing out that’s another ticked, I hadn’t realised!!
Holy shit Duncan. That Redding set is one of the iconic shows for that whole era of music. Well played, I don’t know if it’s the way it’s EQ’d but the D-Roc is overpowering here almost to the point of being muddy. Really hope it’s just the mix because I’ve already started tucking money away for one.
Well played and beautiful bass guitar!
Yep, and I can genuinely say that, “I was there…” I remember when Cobain came on in the wheelchair, then fell to the stage. My friend and I looked at each other … we’ve been here all day for this? Then he got up and the crown errupted!
The other band I really remember from that day were L7 - what happened to them? They were fantastic!
It’s the way I EQed it. I always seem to have problems getting the levels right for a new bass. I have also bought some new strings for it as, certainly the E is pretty dead. I need to find 30 mins and change them!
The EQing issue has also got me wondering if I should buy a better multi-effects pedal … google took a pounding this morning ![]()
Do it!!! I’m a proud proponent of second hand. I bought the D-ROC from a semi-professional bassist last weekend. It had been well looked after - no scratches or dings - and is set up nicely. He had 2 of them, but was selling this one to part fund a Dingwall SP-1. I got a good deal on it, and could easily sell it for what I bought it for, if I wanted too. I don’t want to sell it, but if it were necessary, then no money would be lost. So I say, save the pennies / cents etc. It feels lovely, is lighter than my Combustion, looks cooler than the Combustion. All in all, I’m really pleased. Not selling the Combustion though ![]()
Thank you, @justarookie, much appreciated!!
The bass is really cool - I need to do a video where you can properly see it though ![]()
First cover of the year for me. I’ve been really into this band lately. I enjoy the way they blend influences into their own sound. Added a little overdrive with an EHX Soul Food pedal for this one. Thanks for checking it out!
Lucero - Watch It Burn
Thanks @BassFusion ! The BBP34 is a cool bass, not much FX going on there, just a tiny bit of reverb and my preamp pedal. Cheers.
Thanks @sunDOG ! Cheers.
Nice one, Duncan! Happy to see you back on the bass…take care of that tendinitis!
Well played! Enjoyed that one!
That sounded great…nice pick playing!
Super fresh, CrayWolf! Well done! The slides sound great and that disco chorus is cool!
Well done, dude! The rhythm section in that song is bad ass.
Such a cool bass line…I remember hearing this album for the first time freshman year of college…where does the time go? That is crazy cool that you saw them in ‘92. Well played as always!
That was awesome…very cool song! I am going to have to give this band a listen to…I like their sound. Well played…great song for your first recording of 2026!
Thanks @JohnF ! Cool (-:

This one always resonated with me, awesome song with a great groove that will make you throw your fist in the air haha

FALLING IN REVERSE - JUST LIKE YOU https://youtu.be/vqjvBXNbFD4?si=Rtdb9dHZWKWN022X As always appreciate the support if you watch, comment, like, dance to it, all that.
Great cover dude! I’ll check this band out more myself. Never heard them before.
I’m just going to go with the theory that these thumbnails are actual pictures of you, not photoshop/AI/whatever. And really, the dedication that you strapped dynamite to yourself or went skydiving (without a parachute?) is impressive.
