Ola's will it chug and interview segments have become a weekly staple. He did an interview with Kiko Loureiro of Megadeath recently where they start talking about fundamentals practice about 20 minutes in. I haven't kept up with Megadeath so I'd never heard of him before but I liked the interview. I've been doing something similar through a lesson plan that does a 7 day cycle of alternate picking, string skipping, string bending, arpeggios, sweep picking, legato and rhythm with increasing difficulty for 365 days. 20-30 minutes in the morning and 15-20 minutes before bed. If I have more time I'll practice songs, theory or recording but that's hard to do every day. But I usually get at least an hour in every day since I laid out a plan.

Streamed guitar on twitch. Took me awhile to figure out.
Had to get OBS ASIO and then install a reaper ASIO driver, ReaRoute. Sounded great in my ears but there's some weird audio and video sync issues plus occasionally the guitar audio was out of time. I'd attribute that to my playing but there's parts that are way off. You can see it on my twitch channel if you care about hearing what archetype abasi sounds like but excuse the playing. I don't think the abasi is my favorite

Looking to get back into playing bass and the shitty cheap one i got on sale many years ago just feels underpar. Not looking to break the bank and have been thinking of getting Yamaha TRBX304 which seems pretty good bang for buck. Any other bass players and if so any other recomendations around that price point (lets say $400 or under).

I tried the neural DSP NTS Suite. Holy fuck. Holy fuck balls. This is the one for me. It sounds so realistic

When I was in high school I ended up selling pot to a guy from Hawaii who happened to make really nice koa ukuleles. I ended up being his sanding bitch for a few months on a big order he got from Japan. When we finished he was supposed to help me make a bass with his equipment but his estranged wife found him and wanted the kids back or something so he disappeared along with the really nice pieces of maple, bubinga, and alder I had stashed in his dry room. I was wanting to make a carl thompson rainbow bass like Les Claypool's.

Actually ended up going with this. Sounded great in the vids i saw and the overall comment was "I pulled it out of the box and outside of tuning it was ready to go".
Ended up going with this. Should be here Monday.

That's great man. That's what he suggested to me for recording bass on a similar budget. He uses something expensive live, but that's his recording bass
