i'm actually looking forward to playing live *less* this year.
i'm also hoping to get some less formal (as in, not necessarily practicing multiple times a week) projects in motion.
I like the idea of being more selective & more adaptable, musically.
basically, i'm sick of doing the same thing all the time & want some new musical adventures (as long as they don't take over my life).
Being in a band for 6 years and only putting out 5 songs has got to be pretty taxing, but at least those 5 songs were fucking killer

Cello is a nice middle ground though, lots of lovely melodic music for the cello, it sits in a nice pitch range where you can do bass sounds to competing with the lower end of a violin. Plus they're smaller than a double bass and I suppose also more different from an electric bass.

Going from double bass to a cello is easy from a physical aspect in that it is smaller and easier to play, what will throw you is the 5ths vs 4th tuning if you don't switch between the two enough.. To me cello doesn't equate to a bass guitar feelwise compared to a double bass really if you look at a double bass you can see where the bass guitar came from: the nut width is the same and the spacing of the strings is about the same ratiowise to length. Which makes sense in that the idea for the bass guitar was to replace the double bass in non arco situations and if you get good.. you can play cello-y stuff on a bass.. and be a total badass like Francois Rabbath..
