I missed it, but it's repeated on C4 on Friday 3 May, 2:15am. (And on C4+1 an hour later)

Footage of DH is beginning to emerge: [url="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9DbUPjEbIvA"]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9DbUPjEbIvA[/url]

I think he's great on "Moondance"

Discovered him after Phish covered "She Thinks I Still Care". What a song. [url="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Skw4LRMYFCo"]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Skw4LRMYFCo[/url]

Her thumb over the top to the neck had me reaching for the remote before I noticed any gurn

Great speech! Had me in blah blah, blah blah blah. Is this the best footage there is though?

I've used Water Rats in Woking before - [url="http://www.waterrat.co.uk/page2.html"]http://www.waterrat.co.u[/url]k. Like their website, cheap and cheerful.

[quote name='Count Bassy' timestamp='1366583005' post='2054594'] What pisses me off is that they were "The Police" and then it became "Sting and the Police", which make think he's an arrogant self opinionated twat. [/quote] Sting refers to The Police as "my band" on the first disc of "Police Live!", recorded in 1979 soon after second album Reggatta de Blanc was released. So he probably always thought that. Still, when interviewed for the reunion tour in 2007 Stewart Copeland said "well it wouldn't work if it wasn't us three would it" when asked about previous in-band tensions. I didn't see them back in the day, but twice on the reunion tour (Vienna and Wembley), and Sting a few times - first time was on the Nothing But The Sun album, most recently the Back To Bass tour. All enjoyable stuff. Seen Andy Summers and Copeland doing their various solo things as well. Tone Fact: the new bassist in the band I played festivals with last summer was once in a band with Henry Padovani, the original Police guitarist.

[quote name='bobbass4k' timestamp='1366562682' post='2054085'] any thread started about a vaguely controversial topic will very quickly by inundated with "well this isn't going to end well" type comments, essentially writing off the thread as a car crash before it's even got going [/quote] That and "IBTL" Thanks for asking for feedback, mods - much of the time basschat is mine of useful information, laughs and pleasant diversions. However there are certain posters who I wish would follow your lead and request feedback for themselves.

I've just been leafing through my Storm/Hipgnosis book, "Walk Away Rene". What an incredible body of work, full of originality, inspiration and wit. His influence on my appreciation of the music is as significant as the musicians he created for.

There are clues to why Gail Ann Dorsey and guitarist Mark Plati switch instruments for ATA here [url="http://www.talkbass.com/forum/f19/bowies-ashes-ashes-8719/"]http://www.talkbass.com/forum/f19/bowies-ashes-ashes-8719/[/url] and here [url="http://www.bowiewonderworld.com/chats/dbplati0800.htm"]http://www.bowiewonderworld.com/chats/dbplati0800.htm[/url] Conclusion appears to be "we fancied a change". Brilliant song, can't get enough Bowie right now.

[quote name='Sambrook' timestamp='1354295609' post='1884613'] What makes a neck 'fast'? [/quote] Guy Pratt answers the question quite succinctly in this clip [url="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T_3Jc54k1Es"]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T_3Jc54k1Es[/url]

And Chick Corea/Return To Forever has been as much a school of bassists as has Zawinul and Weather Report. I like the early latin-flavoured material and the Chick Corea Elektric Band. ("Space" and "Blue Miles" from "Paint The World" are in my current band's repertoire)

If you like Weather Report, check out later Zawinul band material like "Vienna Nights" with Linley Marthe.

Here's another "Who Did You Think I Was", the bass-cam extra from a DVD, I believe. [url="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sFgFFNXahcg"]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sFgFFNXahcg[/url]

Thanks! It sounds terrible You'd think if you're playing in 17/8 you'd go for a more distinct sound maybe?

If it's worth £2k, advertise at £2250, accept £2050 and ask if they want the shirt off your back as well. Depends how much you trust them and how badly you need the cash. Assuming they're both strangers I'd go for option 2.

Give Rusty Cage a go, loads of fun to play.

I saw them on the Time Machine tour at the O2 from the second row in front of Geddy. I think that's unlikely to be topped (esp as Moving Pictures = 10/10, Clockwork Angels = 3/10 but growing) but if I find a decent ticket at face value then I'll probably go along. [quote name='Prunesquallor' timestamp='1363680727' post='2015556'] Ditto. I agree that Clockwork Angels is crap, and they're probably going to do ALL of it. But they're also going to do the whole of 2112 and lots of other old stuff. And this may be the last time they tour like this. Neil Peart's apparently finding it hard to do 3-hour sets these days. [/quote] Slight spoiler (white font, highlight to read): [color=#FFFFFF]According to www.setlist.fm, they don't do all of Clockwork, nor do they do all of 2112. And there are setlist changes every night. [/color]Spoiler ends.
