With the Band AU being quite popular rn in the Fable community, allow your Local Bassist With Brainrot to use this as a shameless excuse to infodump a few bass and bassist fun facts/general facts in no particular order of relevance.

• we typically credit Paul Tutmarc with the invention of the bass guitar in the 1930s, and it became popular because many musicians grew tired of logging around the larger and heavier contrabass

• bassists typically have callouses and, due to the nature of how you play, are gonna have short fingernails. The hand used for plucking is gonna have callouses on the very top of their fingertips due to the angle of how you pluck bass strings, whereas the hand that's on the neck is gonna have them more on the pads of the fingers. Bassists also have nimble, very flexible fingers [do with that information what you will fanfic writers]

• E-Bass, P-Bass, Bass Guitar and J-Bass are all terms referring to basses that're not the typical orchestral bass or Contrabass. "J-Bass" specifically stands for Jazz Bass, a term coined by Fender in the 60s. A Jazz Bass or J-Bass has a specific shape, two single coil pickups (a P-Bass or Precision Bass typically is gonna have one pickup) and more slender necks. Generally, a J-Bass' tone is gonna be a bit cleaner than a P-Bass'. J-Basses are especially used for Blues, Jazz, Funk and Reggae (but obviously not exclusively).

• apart from Fender, some popular Bass brands are Harley Benton, Squier and Sire Marcus Miller

• it's a popular joke that the bassist is the quiet member of the band and/or that they have it "easy" - however, it's the bassist's job to keep the rhythm and provide a large chunk of the foundation of a song [the same or very similar jokes exist for drummers - listen, sometimes musicians bully each other. It's a love language/j].

• you don't typically strum a bass like you do a guitar - you rest your thumb on a pickup and use index, middle and sometimes ring finger to pluck from above.

• a bass' neck is often longer than a guitar's, meaning that the frets are further apart - so some things that work on guitar are not gonna work on bass [found that out when I tried learning a bassline my partner wrote on guitar - it's tricky /lh]

On the USS Fullerton, California Class the Captain's yacht is the "Leo Fender" and the shuttles are the Esquire, Broadcaster, Telecaster, Stratocaster, Jazzmaster, Jaguar, Mustang, Starcaster and the Bronco.

You can���t personalize a factory Les Paul unless you learn from ol’ Lester Polfuss himself. Les never played a stock anything. He was always fiddling.

And he owned a Fender Broadcaster that was given to him by Leo Fender. Leo Fender never stopped innovating or failing to innovate. He built “tools” that were meant to be played.

Don’t get “precious” about guitars. Buy some parts, throw your own together. Even if you fuck it up, you will at least have tried. Never be afraid to ask for help. The end result will be worth it.

La chitarra elettrica

Con la nascita delle prime orchestre jazz, all’inizio degli anni ’20 del secolo scorso, nacque l’esigenza di aumentare la potenza dell’amplificazione. In particolare il problema si poneva per le chitarre che erano difficilissime da amplificare con dei normali microfoni che, a causa della cassa armonica, tendevano a innescare (effetto larsen). I costruttori iniziarono così a produrre chitarre con…

Bijna iedere dag muziek: Tom Verlaine

Afgelopen maand is een einde gekomen aan het leven van wat nog een legende moet worden: Tom Verlaine (1949-2023, USA), wiens echte naam minder poëtisch klinkt: Thomas Miller. Tom Verlaine was mijn gitaarheld in het volgende rijtje: Eric Clapton, Gregg Allman, Leo Kottke en uiteraard Jimi Hendrix. Waar Jimi Hendrix ver uitsteeg boven al het andere gitaargespuis, had dat te maken met fabelachtige…
