Hi Steemit! I'm BennyTheBassman - a bass player and pilot from Toronto, Canada.
I found Steemit through @dan-atstarlite who was very kind to spend some of his time explaining this amazing network to me. I'm really excited to be starting my profile out here - I'm a working bass player in the Canadian music scene, and I have a lot of content to share for aspiring bassists. Also, as the tittle suggests, I fly small planes around Ontario, so I'm looking forward to sharing some of those adventures as well.
I've been posting bass covers on Youtube since January - here's my intro video from that site, so you can see what kind of content you can expect from me here:
My Plan
My plan is to catch the Steemit community up with my back catalog of bass covers, and then continue releasing one cover a week. They are all by request, and I put a lot of work into making sure they're note-for-note transcriptions of the original tunes, so please feel free to request a song for me to cover! Also, I want to post some flying adventures! I took the Steembirds flying a few weeks ago - see this post about that - and people seemed to like that. I'm open to suggestions and would love to learn from and contribute to the community. What do you recommend?
Welcome @bennythebassman. Looking forward to hearing some tunes. Hopefully you don’t play bass and fly planes at the same time. 🤣
Ha! That would be difficult!!
Thanks for the welcome, Torrey. <3
Welcome! Make sure to check out D.tube and Dlive.io as you can stream and post your music vids.
Thank you!!
I'm posting them on DTube, yeah. About to post the second one!
Welcome to Steemit!!!
Welcome my fellow Torontonian! (I'm really from Oshawa) - Happy you've joined Steemit! post more content from up in the air! Toronto has some killer views!
You're absolutely right. Flying over downtown is one of the cooler things I've ever been able to do. Maybe I'll get someone with a good camera up with me? Capture some of the #views for ya :)
I know of some pretty dope shooters in Toronto - I've also got a pretty good camera and know what I'm doing - but to be honest you want a guy like @dnews - guys a beast - can you fit 2 passengers lol ?
Nice! Yep I can fit 3 passengers + me. 2 in the front and 2 in the back. I fly Cessna 172s. Well, if you guys want to take a flight, just let me know!
Yes x20!!!!!!!!! Welcome to steemit brotha :) More from the6!!!
SkyCineVlog - #1 coming soon? Lets do this!!
Yes!!!
Welcome to steemit land @bennythebassman i'm waiting for you next post here, good luck
lol Cool synchronicity, I just posted a jam I did with my double neck bass/guitar that I named - "Flying"! lol Welcome to Steemit, I'm an artist from Montreal. Followed you :)
Ha - synchronicity indeed. I'll check that out. Followed you!
Very cool, nice to meet you.
I love Cake's bass lines, such rhythm and thump.
Do you fly planes that land in water? Where abouts do you fly?
Cake! Yeah I love their stuff too. Always found it super funky. Are you saying...you'd like to see a cake cover at some point? Got a particular song in mind?
No, I don't fly float planes - yet. I do want to learn, but it's a lot of extra training, and I'm working on getting my commercial license now, so that I can start getting official pilot jobs. One thing at a time... :)
You r definitely a good person, I have no doubt. But your Sunglasses are the best.
I can't be without admiring that.
Welcome! I plan on getting my private pilots license soon. I am a paraglider pilot now, but want to fly fixed wing.
Thanks! Yeah go for it. It was an amazing journey getting my private license. Learned so much and worked so hard..but in the end it was so worth it.
Your new follower @bennythebassman i will be waiting to see your flying adventure pics .
I am new over here on steemit and looking to build some strong relation with people who are active over here and i will be trying to grow my steemit community thick and fast . I will hope we can be in touch from here after to know each other better and to help community grow better together :)
