Show us your instrument! ... Stop that, it's silly. - Page 3 - Science Fiction Fantasy Chronicles: forums

Well yea mostly. But I suppose you could play stuff like Fleetwood Mac's The Chain or Smoke on the Water etc. Or maybe a bit of slap bass a la Mark King?

Quokka · 19th February 2008, 11:02 PM

Couldn't help but post a bit of Wooten in defence (It's Vic on bass and his brother Reg on guitar), there's certainly a bit more than smoke on the water that can be done. In the end you can experiment and create on any instrument (but as with any instrument the best way to learn is eventually to play with other people).

Personally I've always just loved the sound of the bass

Just thought I'd add another thought to above, as well as it being possible to solo on bass, isn't 'accompaniment' also a very general term? How I'd play accompanying something like a trumpet or a banjo would be very different to playing in a full rock band where there might be a lot more of standing in the back corner plucking the E string.

I currently have the Alesis Ion synthesiser. Been meaning to get more but right now strapped for cash.

It's the macro version of the Wii remote!

As I said when I posted before I was really really keen to replace my bass and the local music store has just had a sale during an occassion about as rare as they come, namely me with some spare cash... and well I just couldn't help myself.

It's a Ernie Ball MusicMan S.U.B. 5 and although it's still pretty much a low-middle range bass compared to the Samick it's just amazing. I may regret buying a 5 string at some point but so far I'm just loving this

What's wrong with 5-strings? You get to show off more

Lioness · 15th March 2008, 02:42 AM

Here are a couple of pictures of my instrument...just my piano though, I left my flute at school.

Majimaune · 15th March 2008, 07:06 AM

Wow Pyan, that flute is really dirty. My flute teacher would kill me if mine ever got like that.

It's great fun to play though

Just a little more work keeping it quiet (as in muting) but that's why I thought I'd start practicing now. Gotta admit I do like this low b string, though I'm not too sure what my neighbours think of it so far

Btw nice piano Lioness.

AE35Unit · 15th March 2008, 01:33 PM
