Most of the time I am a bass player, so it's obvious to me how to get warmed up, practice, be prepared, etc. When I do looping, being a bass player is almost irrelevant, as the electronics become the instrument, so it's a completely different mindset. The fact that the sound may originate from a bass is not part of the equation and certainly all my bass skills have little to do with the music being made. In fact, if the sound is recognizable as a bass, I feel that I have failed somewhat. I am curious how many of us use looping as a way of playing more "conventional" music and how many of us are making the beeps and bloops?
