PhenomeneBass has not slept since Friday

Letting the Band Down 6 months ago

One day my best friend called me up saying “Our bassist quit the band, can you play with us please?”, I hadn’t played in over a year and even back then I very very rarely practiced. So, the day they called was also the day of my first rehearsal with them, and also the day I started playing seriously. It’s almost 3 months later now and I don’t feel like I can keep up with our quite talented guitarist and drummer. I’m anxious they might fire me and my mantra has become “You’re the only bassist they have!”
I just want to improve to a point where I am comfortable at rehearsals because playing bass really is a lot of fun for me (not to mention how cool I look while I do it hahahahaha)



Picking up my dusty bass chops 8 months ago

I used to play the bass every day. When I was in my teens I played in several bands and would practice and rehearse pretty much every day. I let things slide though.

A few years ago I bought a bass again but after nearly 10 years of not playing my chops were just gone. I felt like a recovering stroke victim trying to recover lost skills. It was just easier to forget about it and not try.

About a year ago I started playing with a band again but not really committing the time to get good again. I want to get over myself and put in the time I need in the woodshed.



Untitled 22 months ago

I’ve been playing bass for about 2 years, and guitar for four. I am really in love with the bass though, and get more time in for practice. It’s really hard when I play a couple of other instruments in my HS band as well, but I hope to make time. I’d like to take on double bass as well; I love bowed string instruments.
