To mess around with, definitely. But I don't plan to practice enough to play with good intonation 😂
Definitely want the drums to be there first. I think the bass player follows the drummer much more than the other way around. Frankly a lot of drummers don't really follow anyone - everyone else has no choice but to follow them, time-wise. Dave Matthews once said that Carter Beauford was the "Captain of the ship."
We bass players only strike notes with one appendage, whereas the drummer is using 3 or 4 different appendages, so it's easier for us to make minor time adjustments very quickly. The drummer is kind of time-juggling: throwing different limbs in various directions and pre-timing the desired result. But we bass players can focus on exactly when we move one or two fingers.
Yeah I've been curious about Dingwall... They have extremely long scale 37 inch B strings. You have to buy special strings for it.
I would love to get some comparisons between the tone of that vs the tone of a 34 or 35 B strings. I want to know how much of a difference it makes.
