I am alive. Still playing bass. Still not taking pills (much to my surprise)
Both of my elderly cats died.
Looking for a new kitten.
Found another band I should have found earlier.
Same old shit

I was contemplating getting a 5 string bass, but the 1 don't think I could handle a neck that wide
I suppose I should probably touch one first, then decide.🎸
Fuck yeah, that is dope as hell
I've been digging War on Betty lately. It's not my favorite track, but this man has got some moves

Little dog doing his Venom impression
Meet my semi new puppy
His name is Chip, but I hate that name.. it be like naming him Tad or some shit.
I call him Chop-Chop after Mark Brandon Reed "Chopper" Because that is infinitely cooler.
Here, he is doing his Venom impression
He's pretty cool for a little fella
I'm ok with the flesh part. 😄
Also, when I said it wasn't as hard, I mean staying off em. I have piles in my house, but I just don't need em anymore
I don't really use much effects, mostly just minor touches. I got a ton of those Chinese clones, so I like just tweak a bunch just a little bit. However, I do enjoy going the other way and go all nutty like 😜
The kick was rough. Luckily for my, I thought I had a bad flu that was going around, but looking bad it was definitely detox. If I didn't think I had the flu, I don't think I would have made it. I got a blank batch of pills, so I totally didn't think that was the issue. Perfect storm I guess
I have like 14 cheap pedals, many do a lot that this does, but it seems better than the cheap stuff I have. I should probably get better first
Wow, my math is a little fuzzy, but I'm about 6 months off benzos.
It hasn't been anywhere near as difficult as I thought it might be.
While there are things I miss, kicking feels great and it sure is nice not bugging about keeping plenty around so I didn't run out. Problem was, get a lot, do a lot
Buttons on guitar strap or no?
Does anyone have any experience with this? It would be for my bass. I already have a fuckton of pedals, but this seems pretty cool.. I think, plus it looks like you can tweak the shit out of it
Thoughts?
Not to toot my own horn, but I'd say I'm almost as good as Sid Vicious- without his undeniable charisma of course
I might have a gig playing bass coming up. If just playing with people doesn't make me a bassist, a gig certainly will.
Go me, lol
I named him after Mark Brandon Read because when I got him he had a broken pelvis, and had to stay in a little cage for 6 weeks when he was just a few months old... prison time
I saw a shirt not out yet, that said Trailer Part Disco Metal...and that seems pretty accurate to me
This is Chip. But I don't like that name, so I call hin Chopper/Chop Chop.
It seems I may have missed an opportunity, cause this motherfucker is straight up Venom
I like this one better.. It was the first one I saw, and quickly knew these are my kind of people

Another band I totally missed. Big ups to YouTube for filling recommendations with them. Better late than never, I suppose.
This isn't my favorite track, but the video makes me laugh.
Homies got some moves.
Enjoy

Or this one.. because a long time ago I put this silly thing together
youtu.be/6CEEefVKKtI?...
What is your decimate in the pit track?
Does have to be your favorite, just a tear it up one.
I’ll start
youtu.be/KWdS6lcZgrc?...
One of the best HC singers of all time.. IMO obviously
He does a Bass Bunker thing that is absolutely insane.
You don’t need any previous knowledge to enjoy. Just an old punk/ska guy tearing shit up.
The smile on his face is more than enough
Always a solid track.
I never understood the hate for RBF.
So much fun.
Regular guitars feel like baby toys.
Bassists are so much more than I ever thought they could be.
For example, Rancid is more mainstream than I care for, but Matt Freeman is insanely good
Can’t drink and not put this on.
I proudly have zero self awareness…apparently
youtu.be/p3MM0S4JreQ?...
OMG, legit laugh out loud like a maniac.
I love that bass is so forgotten, and yet is the core. Perfect for an introvert like me
Bass porn.
I would do filthy things to that bitch. Likely out of tune, but filthy as fuck.
Update— I’ve had 4 and haven’t committed a felony yet. So far, so whatever
I don’t know what it’s called when you get off whatever you are addicted to, but still do whatever, just not that thing.. for the most part.
Well, I’m that. We should call it 413B or something else.
