Im sorry,I will try for a better recording next time my friends ,not from my phone , on a bass which actually has good intonation,good strings and good harmonics.Which this old thing does NOT.Oh well,we play what we have on hand.
Hey ,thanks guys. I do have that other one that I might post thanks to your encouragement Bloodlife,but eek..this old bass,that action is a mile high ,the strings are copper,their old , their sticky and the intonation is sharp at the 12th fret.But I guess my real friends could use a chuckle,so maybe I will post it.
I tried it, had a nice one, I got the * season of the sun* one down, after that, i sold it, said * i need my finger tips,lol* Nearly everyone i know ( personally) plays a guitar or drum or base etc...Im the oddball out :( I play keyboard, but the skills are of no comparison... I admire you!
I thought since I have gotten invited to play from last week's sesh.I have this pos bass that I got for 99 bucks,and yes,ithas all kinds of issues,but I decided I needed to put in at least three months to get my chops back (I never practice,and went years without picking up an instrument) So I recorded two ditties from my phone and posted them in my journal.They are off the cuff and they sound like shit.I can only get like 50 seconds of the whole lines.
Anyway,Im going to post the same ,in about 3 months.A before and after thing...youre critique would be greatly appreciated and NEEDED.If you wouldnt mind doing so as I keep going?
If I cant get my chops back,I wont play in public anymore.
And sooo

Why arent these on the market?
I know of a couple of people this might have very well helped..
The vagina dentata - a vagina with literal or figurative teeth - is a potent trope in South Asian mythology, urban legend, Freudian rumination and speculative fiction (the novel "Snow Crash," by Neal Stephenson, for example). But it took a step toward reality this August with the unveiling of the Rapex, a female "condom" lined with rows of plastic spikes on its inner surface.

Forum: The Year in Ideas
The Rapex is the brainchild of Sonette Ehlers, a retired blood technician in South Africa who was moved by the country's outlandish rape rate, which is among the highest in the world. The device is designed to be inserted any time a woman feels she is in danger of sexual assault. Its spikes are fashioned to end an assault immediately by affixing the Rapex to the assaulter's penis, but also to cause only superficial damage. The Rapex would create physical evidence of the attack as well and, as Ehlers laid out a course of events for reporters at a news conference, send the offender to a hospital, where he would be promptly arrested.
Ehlers estimates that each Rapex would cost 50 to 60 cents - a pricey proposition in Africa for a nonreusable item. On a Web site, www.rapestop.net, she answers other frequently asked questions: How is it inserted and removed? In each case, with an applicator. Do you hate men? No. Won't it get some users killed? Many rapists kill anyway; you stand a better chance against a temporarily disabled man. (On this last point, some may find Ehlers a little blithe about the prospect of an enraged rapist.) In a phone interview, she said that she has found the Rapex prototype to be more comfortable than a tampon. But Chantel Cooper, director of the Rape Crisis Cape Town Trust, remains unimpressed. The Rapex, she said in an e-mail message, sends the retrograde message "that women should be responsible for their own safety."
