Has anyone seen any of Thundercat's current UK shows? Wondering if this made an appearance...

From Saturday night's gig, this is the small version, deployed in a Diago case rather than the Pedaltrain board: I found myself quickly wanting after the "from below" power cable access of the Pedaltrain. Signal flow is TC Electronic PolyTune, Ernie Ball 105Q wah, Analogman Bi-Comp, Darkglass Harmonic Booster, MXR Bass Octave Deluxe, Mooer Bass Sweeper, Crowther Prunes & Custard, MXR Bass Chorus Deluxe, MXR Phase 99, Ernie Ball volume pedal. Also, nice carpet.

Once In A Lifetime Walking On The Moon Theme from "Jaws"

That should say 8pm of course Also, 100% free to get in! Come and say hi if you're around.

I once got an email from the bandleader, having spoken to him and emailed previously, and having agreed audition date and material, "we've chosen someone else, he's ok but I'm unhappy we won't get to audition you. I think your previous experience may have intimidated one or two of the band."

Hi, My band Velcro Pelmet will be doing our selection of originals and standards from the genre on Saturday March 25th at The Union Jack in Southwark, not far from Southwark tube and handy for both London Bridge and Waterloo. You'll find the venue at 225 Union St, London SE1 0LR. Here's the facebook event page: https://www.facebook.com/events/385924381794438/ and click to https://www.facebook.com/VelcroPelmet/ and you can sign up and see past setlists. You can what we sound like at https://velcropelmet.com/music but watch out for the autoplay! Be there in time for an 80pm kick-off.

[quote name='Skinnyman' timestamp='1489969917' post='3261211'] What I find odd is that no-one has commented on Lee Pomeroy's basses....unless it's covered in a topic all it's own, in which case, forgive me for mentioning it here.... [/quote] ... and a 5-string Stingray for one of the "new" songs. Full setlist here, looks unchanged for most of the tour: http://www.setlist.fm/setlist/anderson-rabin-and-wakeman/2017/eventim-apollo-london-england-4bf9132a.html - apprently Starship Trooper was in there earlier on as well (ie USA dates I think) Great to hear the classic material, I could have done with one less 80s song though, for example Changes, Rhythm Of Love, Lift Me Up - from Union for heavens sake! Worst "Yes" album ever. Agree that no Jon = no Yes. And "album playthrough" gigs like Actual Yes are currently doing are the worst.

Decide on the band name before doing any recruitment.

High: S2S, Heroes, Low, Lodger, Stage, Scary Monsters. Low: his version of Alabama Song Nick:

Greetings from another SW London basschatter!

Time-keeping is everyone's responsibility, not just the drummer's. Get an electronic metronome for rehearsals, and plug in to the PA via a volume pedal. Keep it loud to start with, turn down as the band gets better at staying in time.

[quote name='BassApprentice' timestamp='1489136094' post='3254564'] Erm...Tickets aren't on sale for Glasgow yet... I thought it was 10am but website looks to say 12. Will be online at both times [/quote] Also Glasgow O2 Priority: https://tickets.o2priority.co.uk/events/vulfpeck/4437

[quote name='NickD' timestamp='1489135002' post='3254551'] Tickets on sale today. Looks like from midday for Shepherds Bush, not sure for the other venues. [/quote] Thanks for the heads-up! Turns out Shepherds Bush has been on sale through O2 Priority since Wednesday, just grabbed myself one.

It's tonight! Come and say hello if you're there.

Yep, agree - you should refer to the actual pitches you're playing rather than what chord it looks like.

[quote name='wambamalubop' timestamp='1488391718' post='3248588'] Lee Sklar's bassline on Stratus Deceptively simple but locking into that groove defeats me and might until for ever... You can scroll to 2:52 if drum solos are not your thing, though these are some of the most interesting and creative ones to my thinking.

My band does this song, but I try to get them to do it more like this version by Stanley Clarke & Friends. I guess it's a bit like Rhythm Stick, Hysteria - once you can do it, it's fine. I have no trouble with keeping up with the tempo (we inevitably do it fast) but it's always a welcome break to get to the outro. Having said that I suck at Rhythm Stick and Hysteria.

The Cinema Show by Genesis. Start with solo acoustic 12-string guitar, tuned dDgGaDeGbbee (ie non-unison pairs on the middle two pairs, E and E pairs down a full step). Add bass pedals after a couple of minutes. Frantic triplet picking in the middle bit. Fade out, unplug, switch to double-neck Shergold. Instrumental in 7/8, switch to bass (finally) for the last few seconds.

[font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif]Hi jazz fans[/font] [font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif]My band Velcro Pelmet ([/font][url="https://www.facebook.com/VelcroPelmet"]https://www.facebook.com/VelcroPelmet[/url][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif]) are back in action on Wednesday March 8th at Off The Cuff in Herne Hill. It's a really cool venue, built into the arches of the above train line (so there are fewer neighbours to annoy I suppose). We play a mix of jazz fusion originals and reinterpreted versions of material originally by the likes of Miles Davis, Weather Report, Mike Stern, Herbie Hancock, Billy Cobham, the Jaco Pastorius big band, Pat Metheny and others - plus a few of our own. We'll be bringing some new material along for this gig.[/font] [font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif]More details as and when but we'll be doing two sets, on stage at 9pm.

[quote name='scrumpymike' timestamp='1487270775' post='3238562'] Stop Making Sense is a classic. I remember seeing it at our local 'art-house' cinema (the Phoenix in Finchley Central) just after it was released and within 20 minutes everybody was up bopping in the aisles. Re the lovely Tina, I'd say she was just a bit highly strung - or maybe just high. [/quote] An American friend was round and leafing through my record collection, pulling out the occasional oddity or something he considered curious. I tried to be cool and say "yeah this was the first record I ever bought" re Stop Making Sense. "Oh, Talking Heads? yeah, nice. I was at the gig where they recorded that show"
