Bass log Thus Feb 2nd
Did not play free for a half hour on Thursday as I had band practice with Agave Grin. My fretless work has been paying off as it sounded really good with few intonation mistakes. The music is pretty simple so I payed extra attention to intonation but worried very little about not hitting the notes dead on. If it did happen to go off by a little bit, I just adjusted the notes. Those guys sing out of tune anyway so it kind of helped them harmonize a little bit. Although we are sounding a little bit better, its a long hard road with many frustrations and troubles. About half way through our session, I became angry at the keys player for some oh so usual crap that he pulls more and more often. Instead of going off verbally, I forced myself to channel that energy to the bass and eventually I felt better. The shit works!
Friday I was supposed to rehearse with BCP and we were going to have Liz the singer hang with us but rehearsal got moved to Sunday. More on that later.
Today I am heading to Kai's studio for a mini bass marathon, 4 hours with 6 bassists. Should be fun. More on that later too.
