Comment on Be Inspired, Not Intimidated by Jonathan Moody by Chris Mann

Jonathan – I’ve read this with a smile and with a tear. A smile because I’ve felt like this many times and I’m glad to know I’m not the only one – I suspect I’m far from being the only one. A tear because at 53, and looking for a job, the fire seems to be going out. Occasionally I still feel motivated to get the bass out and I can still play the old licks I used to, but it’s just for my own pleasure and usually without an amp. “Can’t disturb the neighbours”.

So I’m going to say what you didn’t – because you have written a great non-preachy piece here.

All bass players, whether you’re just starting out or whether you’ve been playing 10 or 20 years, re-read Jonathan’s article, print it and keep reading it. Don’t let the fire in your heroes’ playing scare you – grab the bass, tune it and just play the hell out of it.

Pick, You are one of the GREAT transcribers. Your transcriptions are flawless. Thank you for putting them out for everyone to explore. The hand written quality adds coolness to the MOJO.

Comment on From Electric Bass to Upright Bass by Maureen Pandos by Jon Moody

Thank you for writing on a topic like this. So many electric bassists think just that; it’s the same strings, so it’s just a big fretless bass, right? I’m glad to have someone get into the real specifics of what makes it quite different than the electric bass. Looking forward to next month!
