Me and buddies usually just do multiple guitars and some bongos but would be cool to get one. don't usually see many for sale other then at places like Long and McQuade but even then it's anywhere from $400-3K for one Keep your eyes peeled. Last November I snagged a like-new Ibanez hollow bodied 5-string acoustic-electric bass with a hard case (shag carpet interior!) on Kijiji for $400 (might have been $450). Had to drive an hour to pick it up but it was worth it. It's great for practicing unplugged but as soon as someone is rocking out on their 6-string acoustic I get drowned out and need to plug in again. It just doesn't kick out the acoustic sound like I had hoped. I'm convinced only a big stand-up bass could be heard around a campfire.

Taynted_Fayth Posted December 17, 2017 Report Share Posted December 17, 2017 (edited) probably wont be a crisp, stand - outish sound like that of an acoustic guitar but the idea is just for something to lug around sans amp and still be loud enough to contribute to the vibe. It's kind of like bongos, they can sound really good together with a guitar but it'll get drowned out unless it has a mic near by on it... well i suppose like your Cello idea you can always get those long, multi-foot long bongos (or out right symphony timpani drums and bang the sweet piss out of them till people acknowledge you really are playing too Edited December 17, 2017 by Taynted_Fayth Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

johnzo Posted January 10, 2018 Report Share Posted January 10, 2018 (edited) MO, yeah,I know how that feels to be generally brutal Anyway, right now I'm listening to the first complete song I've ever composed and recorded. It's called You Suck. I'm proud of it tonight and will probably be horrified by it tomorrow.

I know its tricky to mic drums but you should try. spouse and I independently concluded it's Lou Reed style. thanks! I may send you one of my recordings one of these days.

johnzo Posted January 10, 2018 Report Share Posted January 10, 2018 thanks man! Yeah, it's largely a CF chord progression song so it definitely has that Walk on the Wildside feel. It's great to hear you guys say Lou Reed because that's where I was aiming. At some point this will definitely have live drums. at this early stage it's easier to just throw down something in the drum machine and concentrate on the singing. send along your own stuff any time, I'd love to give it a listen.

iHeart Posted February 8, 2018 Report Share Posted February 8, 2018 (edited) I'm using the WitUSAiCS looped version because the youtube auto generated versions aren't available in canada (the only way you can hear them up here is if you install a geo fence jumping extension in your browser), well I just explained why I didn't share the other version.

johnzo Posted February 20, 2018 Report Share Posted February 20, 2018 I grew up on the K-Tel compilations of the early eighties -- was a broke-ass kid, so getting a single cassette of 10-15 radio hits for like $5 was a big big deal. I had no idea they were a Winnipeg company! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah- it blew my mind years ago when I read this: Quote What's less well-known is the founder of Priority Records, which sold tens of millions of albums for N.W.A., Ice Cube, Snoop Dogg, Jay Z and other rappers, is a white, middle-class guy from Canada. Even less well-known is Turner grew up in Winnipeg's West Kildonan neighbourhood, worked for K-Tel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Taynted_Fayth Posted February 21, 2018 Report Share Posted February 21, 2018 My days at work surrounded by all females and the only other guy wants to desperately be in a musical.... has me listening to Perfect (by Beyonce and the Ging) 8x a day, Havanna 7x, So bad at Love 7x..etc and theres no escaping it as 99% off our radio stations play the exact same content. Hell i hear the same songs sometimes being played on like 106 and 97. So having said that as soon as everyone goes on break or done for the day and im lingering around out pops my youtube and im blasting tunes thru any random speaker can find. My play list at the moment is; (i apologize if ive posted any of these before kinda too tired to rummage thru 13 pages of posts lol) I got more tunes i could post but i dont wanna eat up the whole page/thread. Lets just say F*** the radio. If i hear Wolves or Roots or whoever the hell that knock off zepplin band is ...greta van fleet or whatever 1 more time i'mma roadhouse kick a few radios at work and start a rebellion Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
