I am so excited to get this one down at last. This is the complete John Patitucci performance of the Leonard Bernstein tune 'America' as performed by Dave Grusin for the 1997 'West Side Story' album. A stunning recording that I hope to get to transcribe in its entirety (this is the longest piece so the rest should be easy enough). Coming in ay 8:20, there is a lot to take in but, stick with it. The bulk of the piece is in 7:8 but, once you get inside the groove, the reading gets easier. The logic seems to present itself as you internalise the rhythm. Great stuff. The fact that the harmony is relatively stable helps massively too. https://bilbosbassbites.co.uk/america-dave-grusin/

It uses the same 700AS1 ICEPower module as the Ashdown and Mesa models that either claim 800 watts or have 800 in the model number, so RM800 all Evos. Mesa Subway D800 series plus Ashdown Retroglide 800. There will be others that I do not know about.

My local EVRI guy is great so it seems I am a halfwit, too! Lots of us around. Must be lonely up there @Alanko

A super simple transaction completed for a Boss wireless. Rosie sent me the unit to check I was happy before I had to pay a penny! A credit to Basschat

How was my rehearsal last night? Awful. I could have transplanted my fingers with Tesco Value sausages and it would have been an improvement. and as for my sense of timing, that deserted me as I was tuning up.

This is the first of several BB1000's I have owned. After 20+ years of this bass being my favourite tool for live and studio work, I decided to give it a makeover. During the time the bass was at the painter, I became very friendly with another 1000MA. But when I took this bass out of its bag yesterday, I immediately knew what I was holding in my hand again. This neck, this specific weight, which my arm immediately recognised... For me and what I do, this is the best bass in the world. And by God, I've had so many more expensive axes, but this is the bass of my life. The new paintwork should still be dark on the one hand, but on the other it should catch the odd spotlight on stage. I tell you, little sparks fly in the sunlight.. 🤩

Or a voluntary redundancy?

Peaches. Bloody horrible song.

Is this a voluntary oxymoron?

High Fade last night @ Strings Bar and Venue, I.O.W. Ridiculously good. So much so that I’m off to sell all my gear in the For Sale forum. Bastards. 😁

Picked up an Ashdown Triple shot on sale at pmt, sounds Really good, I had a double shot a while back, but 3 bands to play with you can get some great tones.

This thread is why I like Basschat. It's sensible, informative, slightly amusing and helpful, apart from the fact I can't see the picture but clearly other people can 😊 Looking forware to the next update.
