Bass solos are like a dancing bear. It’s not that the bear is a great dancer, it’s that the bear dances at all. Jaco Pastorius, Johnny B. Gayton, and a few others could be considered the Fred Astaires of dancing bears and the exceptions that prove the rule. All other mere mortals pay homage to the pocket and groove.

While browsing harmony-central news I took a look to the article about Aguilar DB112 cabinet. Then I checked the frequencies chart and figure out that you cannot have low-B with this cab… Then I checked specs of my Fender Rumble 100. Didn’t find frequency there at all… But because I can have low-B on it - looks like its low end response is at least 30Hz. Or this doesn’t mean anything?…

Just found frequencies chart. Very useful to understand which notes will be affected the most by equalizer.

Another cool flash app from studybass.com - Online Metronome. Sound is nice, but I didn’t check it in mix. BPM - 40-208.
