Let em paint on a solid canvas....trust me in this I have played bass for almost 50 years.

Happens more when I'm practing...get the groove an get a little bored. But, what the hell, having a lot of fun. In my little three piece, I play guitar: lead and rhythm. And a lot more on the rhythm side. It so much more fun to lock in with other human players. Jam tracks are only but so good.
