New electric bass added to my instrument repertoire
Posted by STEPHEN ANDERSEN on Monday, October 17, 2011
Thanks to Terry Jones,the lead guitarist on the Oceanside Vineyard worship team, for his coaching and patience for making it possible for me to learn and play my new bass for last Sunday's worship service.I got to fill n for Phil Heroshige while he takes a few weeks off....maybe if he takes a few months off, I may get good at the bass... :-)
It was very basic as I have never played bass before. iI turned out ok although I missed playing the hrmonica.
A rehearsal I was absolutely sureI was losing my hearing at the low end because I couldn't hear what I was playing on the bass. I knew it was working because I could hear it allttle through the main speaker between songs . I was really worried about losing my hearing until Terry told me to turn on the amp........ :-) (I never had to use an amp before to hear an acoustic instrument). Boy did I feel dumb.
