This is all kinds of awesome. I'll have changed my mind by tomorrow/this evening/tea time. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VO96nhky0nY The recorded version features Bowie's lowest sung note, fact fans.

Maybe they're waiting for the dust to settle after the Jaco movie. "Another jazz bassist movie? in the same year? get outta here."

Whenever Pino and Mayer are mentioned in the same thread, it's the green flag to repost this http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sFgFFNXahcg

Nope, I practice using a Roland Micro Cube so it's no louder than a normal stereo. Plus the walls here are very thick (it's a 1930s apartment block)

Happy new year! We're kicking off with the next episode in Velcro Pelmet's ongoing monthly residency at the Tooting Tram & Social. Doors at 7pm, support band on at about 7.30. Free admission! See the event page at https://www.facebook.com/events/771401986324480/ for details.

Here's another PJ gem from Brian Eno's "Another Green World" (another Brand X bloke Phil Collins on drums) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KXDrTZMVINo

[quote name='ubit' timestamp='1450278982' post='2931298'] I hear Kylie getting hammered on the radio just now [/quote] *raises eyebrow* Speaking of which, recently I heard her "Christmas Wrapping" with contributions from Iggy Pop. Oh dear

+1 for Christmas Wrapping and IBIFC. Not especially keen on Fairy Tale. Some other favourites: James Brown - Santa Claus Goes Straight To The Ghetto The Klezmonauts - Good King Wenceslas Mike Oldfield - In Dulce Jubilo Low - Just Like Christmas Fountains Of Wayne - I Want An Alien For Christmas all available on my Xmas Playlist on spotify. No filler all killer: [url="https://open.spotify.com/user/toneknob/playlist/20XsgQ4kMStnkfZF6iNYdB"]https://open.spotify.com/user/toneknob/playlist/20XsgQ4kMStnkfZF6iNYdB[/url] or spotify:user:toneknob:playlist:20XsgQ4kMStnkfZF6iNYdB Albums-wise: "The Jethro Tull Christmas Album", Vince Guaraldi's "A Charlie Brown Christmas", Bela Fleck and the Flecktone's "Jingle All The Way"

[quote name='lokki' timestamp='1450223199' post='2930794'] ok i think i will bring it there. but is there a place where i can setup the pedal and everybody can try? is there someone on the forum that organises this bassguitarshow? [/quote] Maybe basschat favourite Wunjo on Denmark St might be up for hosting a demo as well.

[quote name='bootleg' timestamp='1450224918' post='2930817'] Better check the times with the Bierkeller. Thanks for heads up. [/quote] From the Bierkeller website: Doors Open - 7.30pm First Act on stage 8pm You've got Godsticks supporting, I'll be curious to hear how they're getting on with their new drummer.

[quote name='bootleg' timestamp='1450224918' post='2930817'] Better check the times with the Bierkeller. Thanks for heads up. [/quote] You might do better - Heaven is primarily a nightclub and they want to get the greasy longhairs out, tidy up the empty tinnies and generally defumigate the place well in advance of letting the pretty young things in to shake their stuff - especially with it being last Friday before Christmas and that.

Seeing them on Friday at Heaven. Timing from the event page at http://www.heaven-live.co.uk/event/the-aristocrats/ 18.00 Doors 19.00 The Fierce & The Dead 20.00 The Aristocrats Early night for Aristocrats fans.

Thanks!

Can someone point me in the direction of ordering details please?

+1 for the WMD (I bought pantherairsoft's - thanks!). I've convinced an Ernie Ball VP Jr to act as an expression pedal so you can detune the amount of bit crushing and wotnot on the fly. Also the Mooer Lo-Fi Machine for a compact and more easily-grokked variant. And the Death By Audio Robot which ahem "transforms any input into a spuree of resynthesized robot jargon". (Also it's got a random arpeggiator which is fun)

I'm trying really hard to think of something that both came out in 2015 and I bought in the same year. And I like more than most other things.

[quote name='AndyTravis' timestamp='1448993680' post='2919916'] Rehearsing last night, and our wonderful drummer announces he's not gigging after Christmas and the gigs in December will be his last. He has a high stress/long hours job - I fully understand and support his decision - but feel genuinely distressed about this. [/quote] Sorry to hear that, Geddy.

[quote name='Number6' timestamp='1449650244' post='2925466'] I think we are all groundbreaking bassists. [/quote] I'm not

[quote name='Bassassin' timestamp='1449596718' post='2925036'] Get over it, Bignose, he's quit. [/quote] How dare you call me bignose.

Oh no he hasn't: http://prog.teamrock.com/news/2015-12-08/geddy-lee-clarifies-neil-peart-retirement-rumours
