Trackspin: Jamiroquai - Runaway.
Got stuck on the Live from Abbey Road version of this last night once more, thanks to Talkbass. Bad thing is, it's making me GAS for a good P bass strung with flatwounds. HAHA. And this is how a good P-bass should sound! Fat and punchy!
And I've transitioned back to roundwounds thanks to the Bone. Strung it with a set of Sadowsky Blue Label Nickel 5 Lights yesterday. And I came home at night to meddle with the fretless, and wound up stringing it up with an older set of stainless steel roundwounds also, giving off this amazing mwah that wasn't that prominent with the flats on it previously. Shall leave it on the fretless for now.
Yesterday was a little screwed up. We had to go down to a studio instead due to a mix-up in the rooms again. Not the first time, neither will it be the last. Oh well. Anyway, was really great practising with Ray, Boom, Gil and Val. I don't know, I suppose I'm more in touch with the older people in ED and not as much towards the younger ones. It's just easier to connect to those I've been playing with for a significant amount of time. Also, loved how the Bone sounded in the mix, though I think proper EQ-ing would solve a lot of issues for me, with regards to how I sit in the mix. Time to experiment more!
I really need to start getting more consistent on bass. I haven't been playing for quite a little bit and I'm losing inspiration and motivation to play actually. Due to some issues, of course. It's like, sometimes, I can be so happy and carefree while playing bass, but other times, its actually killing me just to pick up the bass and play. I guess it's just dependent on the songs. Mood swings in accordance to song choices? HAHA. I just can't wait for Sunday to be over and done with, it's such a busy day.
The stress is not building up too much anymore. But irritation is. Irritation that I'm being treated like an idiot who doesn't know what to do, even though I'm in charge of things. Stupid questions aren't they? Sheesh. Times like these, I just wish I could stop you messing up my life every year or two. It's just getting me pissed off to the point where I really hate how things work and yet, I'm amazed at how things can actually work like that in the first place. God has His ways I suppose.
Okay, not a long post here, I'm starving and I think I should start getting ready to head for dinner followed by session.
Hoping tomorrow will be a great day, especially coz it's the start of the weekend and I know my Sunday isn't going to be anywhere near wonderful. Cheers you all!
