diu-vivere-mortem-deactivated-d asked: thank the lord that I found your tumblr! it's wonderful! i can just scroll through and reblog and reblog and reblog. All my friends tell me that i'm cheating by playing bass because it's easier, but it's nice to know that there are plenty of other people who play bass who clearly are not cheating. Anyway, thanks for your blog! <3

dothehippyhippyshake asked: http://fuckyeahipsofacto.tumblr.com/post/612874558 Do you know what type of bass this is? This is Samantha Valentine of Ipso Facto., I think it may be an Epiphone, but I have no idea if it is, or what year or model it could be. Thanks!

Response to the effects question
I play jazz and Obviously I don’t use any effects at all. I have a stand up as well as a Fretless Ibanez that has been posted on this blog before. They sound great and all I do is take some control of the equalizer in order to get the amp to amplify the sound of my bass. Something Rufus Reid once told me was “Play through the amp, don’t let the amp play you.” In that he...
Should I own a Distortion pedal? How important...
Hello. I have been playing bass for years and years (I’m an old hand at this) but I just bought my first effects pedal, a Boss ODB-3 bass overdrive, this year.
