Stan by yer man. Tammy W

A lot of guitar players influenced my younger years - mainly Angus Young but also Nile Rogers. These days I love a good horn section and favourite sax player is Bob Reynolds.

We do simple man 😁

Huh. So, this is weird. I've been ambiently aware of that song for as long as I can remember – just as something that gets played on oldies stations. I don't think I've ever seriously listened to it, and definitely not noticed how good the guitar playing is.

He plays that bass line on a Lakland 5594.

I'm always in awe of the sheer speed of bluegrass players. This is a lovely little phone recording of three of the best around today – particularly Noam Pickleny (banjo) and Brittany Haas (fiddle) – roaring through an old folksong and managing to sound like a band twice the size.

Some lovely boards here. @stewblack takes the “never even heard of that one before” award for me, which is always an excellent internet rabbit hole to head down! @Berserker - yeah the MS range is excellent, isn’t it? If you can think it, there’s probably a way to do it with one of these!

They are seriously cool things! Enjoy it! Would love to see a pic of them both when you get it!

It appeared last week on kijiji for a market price , a blue reissue Samurai , the Yamaha SBV500. I have a yellow one , and spent some years looking for it. It’s one of the few long scale basses I regularly play , I think of it as being like a Jazz bass on steroids , but much funkier. And today got a call from some friends that work at our local L&M , the big music retailer in Canada. The blue Samurai had appeared at the store , they were going to move it for a really good price , and was I interested … Now I have a yellow one that I love , but I could not turn down the deal. I’ll pick it up tomorrow. And I’m flattered that they called me before they put it out! Sold!

And, as usual, the website remains 100% open and free, thanks to everyone that has clicked the "Buy Me A Beer" button. This helps to go towards the domain and web hosting expenses - and I do enjoy a beer after a scorewriting session too! I'd like to think most bass players and bass communities are aware of this website, but do keep sharing please, it is appreciated. There's lots more stuff I need to chart for myself for upcoming gigs and shows this year, and the orders keep coming in, so I'm sure there will be plenty more charts added to the site through the summer of 2024!

Oh good choice. The first thing of his I ever heard was Trashman, love it. https://youtu.be/wKMbKxsSrp4?si=nPDnGDTzCPPxevQ5

Are you sure it’s not a mechanical noise - from the grille? I refurbed an old Trace cab and I got exactly that, just had to manipulate the grille a little.

Well that’s a good question, I think I have to go with head rather than heart and take the Mustang for live work.

@Owen I thought that was just me. I have a Mod_dwarf which could probably take me to the moon and back, but it's complicated. So I go back to simple things and keep thinking I must get back to the Mod Dwarf and set it up properly. I don't.

So.....what will You choose on next rehearsal - precision or mustang ?

Oliver's ARMY- the other Elvis

it is epic.
