the most calming thing i did today was change the strings on my bass.
making witty jokes to a friend that was working as a monitor at the time.
calmly sitting on the floor cleaning my bass, cutting the strings to size with the wire cutters, adjusting the action, making sure the neck was straight...
it was nice.
but then i realized that i have to play at chapel tomorrow...
so...
not a good idea to have new strings then.
i put the old ones back on...
the new strings, half round, feel very nice as opposed to my round wound strings...
wondering how they're going to treat my callouses, maybe more blister and less callous since i have medium gauge...
wish i knew more about this type of stuff, but the people i hang out with don't seem to play bass, drums, guitar, anything like that.
jamming with friends would be nice, learning a lot just from being around people that are more in the music culture and know what they're talking about would be nice.
suppose i'll just learn from jazz bass experience.
on a 'something corporate' binge this evening...
all of them sound similar to me thus far musically with the exception of a few yet i still kind of like it, i bought 'woke up in a car' 'punk rock princess' and 'space' on itunes...
