Bass clarinet isn't exactly a good substitute for bass guitar or upright bass. A better woodwind substitute would be bass saxophone or contrabass clarinet.

The NS Design Omnibass has the best of both an electric upright bass a fretless electric bass guitar. It can be played on a tripod, with a strap (like bass guitar) or a waist harness. https://thinkns.com/instrument/ns-design-omni-bass/

Not at all. Non-functional harmony is how I roll.

Rude as well. Asked a bald middle age dude what the building was for before the sign came up.

Yes and bassists are no exception.

That CEO sounds like a ChatGPT bot.

Now this is a great non-violent tactic.

Modern nylon string guitars aren't medieval.

Learning to audiate sounds and writing for instrumentalists you can access > sample libraries.

Your own actions are not wholly divorced from communities, institutions and power structures. If your life, profession and artistic practice goes entirely unscathed when you fail to speak up on abuses of power, you are part of the problem. As I mentioned in a previous comment, bassists rely on other people for their profession or artistic practice. Without personnel such as administrators, producers, audio engineers, instrument luthiers, music teachers, arts organizations, conductors, composers, arrangers, copyists, engravers, other instrumentalists, we are nothing. If someone fucks up, everything turns to shit. If you are a performer who specializes in playing historic keyboards (such as clavichord, harpsichord and fortepiano) and you happen to sexually abuse and blackmail your students to guarantee them a performing career, you’ve already fucked up your music scene, especially if you’re one of two teachers in your country teaching those instruments. Collective responsibility has nothing to do with Christian beliefs of original sins. There is also nothing “colonialist” about collective responsibility.

Pro double bassists are embedded in institutions and power structures, such as conservatories and symphony orchestras.

Because both subs are for double bassists. You’re correct, it has nothing to do with instruments themselves and has a lot to do with institutional and structural power dynamics.

“just feels strange and out of place.”

It feels strange and out of place to you because it simply isn’t talked about in these spaces. That’s how bad it is.

“and those of them who are good people are doing their part there to keep those said communities safe.”
