    [quote name='OzMike' timestamp='1347221066' post='1798265'] For non UK people: [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DEDeIsOe3Rw[/media] [/quote] Thanks for the clip! At 2m31s he's saying "Now when you get to THIS..." and was obviously going to go on to say something profound about the part significant only to us lot. Then she interrupts him with her gushing and he's suddenly on to Stravinsky. I wonder what he was going to say? ps is it a double stop at 2m27s? or is the D string not being held? Can't tell.

    If any BCers are in the vicinity, come to the Polka Tent at 8pm on Thursday and 10.45pm Saturday, where you'll find me playing with The Penny Black Remedy. See [url="http://www.facebook.com/The.Penny.Black.Remedy"]http://www.facebook.com/The.Penny.Black.Remedy[/url] and [url="http://open.spotify.com/artist/5NUZZmJKqwuT31RaZttP03"]http://open.spotify.com/artist/5NUZZmJKqwuT31RaZttP03[/url] for more. Happy weekend wherever you are!

    I had my Jazz set up at the Gallery, for £35 the service can't be topped.

    [quote name='paul_5' timestamp='1346522540' post='1790268'] Our drummer looked like Brian May and we were all Queen fans. [/quote] Who did your guitarist look like?

    a quick look at the history books shows these as a quick sample Dire Straits, Brothers In Arms tour 1985 (John Illsley) Queen, Knebworth 1986 (John Deacon) Simple Minds Wembley Arena and Milton Keynes Bowl,1986 (Derek Forbes or John Giblin?) Sting Wembley Arena, 1987 (Tracy Wormworth) All good sterling company I'm sure you'll agree but it was seeing Peter Gabriel at Earls Court in 1987 with Tony Levin that really started the beginnings of the germ of a seed of an idea that bass playing was pretty cool. The penny dropped during "The Family And The Fishing Net".

    [quote name='derrenleepoole' timestamp='1346152977' post='1785811'] Don Jaun's Reckless Daughter... Jaco doesn't play bass on all the tracks [/quote] Good point. Hejira only has Jaco on Refuge of the Roads, Black Crow, Hejira and Coyote; other tracks with bass on (Song for Sharon, Furry Sings the Blues, Blue Motel Room) it's either Max Bennett or Chuck Domanico.

    Thanks for asking, but I'm not looking for a trade at the moment.

    Hello - I'm selling my Line 6 JM4 Looper. It's pretty much unused, I've had it out of the box maybe three times for at-home use only, it's not been gigged. It's solidly-built, packed with features and also has built-in play-along tracks, a multi effects unit and amp modelling. See the full spec at the Line 6 website ([url="http://line6.com/jm4looper/"]http://line6.com/jm4looper/[/url]) and you'll see some reviews here: [url="http://www.homestudiocorner.com/line-6-jm4-looper-review/"]http://www.homestudiocorner.com/line-6-jm4-looper-review[/url], [url="http://www.premierguitar.com/Magazine/Issue/2009/Mar/Line_6_JM4_Looper_Review.aspx"]http://www.premiergu...per_Review.aspx[/url], [url="http://www.musicradar.com/gear/all/guitars/fx/looper-and-sampler/jm4-looper-178886/review"]http://www.musicrada...r-178886/review[/url]. The price is £160 posted anywhere in the UK, or £150 if you want to meet up to exchange somewhere in London, or in the south-west London suburbs. Bank transfer preferred either way.

    [quote name='nottswarwick' timestamp='1345756512' post='1781384'] Presumably then on some numbers both players will be on guitar, with one of them also playing bass via these organ style pedals? [/quote] Yep! although there's also songs where there's one guitar, one bass and bass pedal parts as well. It's like singing and playing - odd to start with but you get the hang of it - says a now-retired Genesis tribute band bassist, in case my icon wasn't a giveaway

    Here's a still from the Genesis "Live In Rome" DVD from 2007, with a slightly modded Moog Taurus I bass pedal synth. Good to see Rutherford still knows where notes C to F# and G# to C are. Good luck with your search!
  12. toneknob
    Solo album "Bestial Cluster" should be on the menu for any Karn-curious as well.
  13. toneknob
    There used to be a load of bass tabs on Mick Karn's website in the Image Gallery. Just checked, they've gone now

    I've just got online quotes from New Moon and Allianz. New Moon comes in it about £200 less than Allianz and MusicGuard's renewal quote. Is there something obvious that New Moonh don't protect for that the others do?

    [quote name='Big_Stu' timestamp='1345119897' post='1773770'] I've heard good things about Music Guard, but they couldn't help me as they wouldn't accept valuations from anyone who was clued up enough to know what it was. [/quote] Who would they accept valuations from? I've got certificates from Vintage And Rare that were ok with MG at the time.

    I've been using Music Guard for the last couple of years and have been spending approx £300 a year for £17k of cover, with 25% covered out of the house. Be careful as over £15k and you need to meet more stringent security requirements. I'm thinking of moving on as I'm sure there's cheaper available elsewhere, and I've shifted one of the more expensive items recently so the amount of cover will be less. Other's I've about that BCers might be able to comment on: Endsleigh, [url="http://www.endsleigh.co.uk/Home/Pages/musical-instrument.aspx"]http://www.endsleigh.co.uk/Home/Pages/musical-instrument.aspx[/url] Allianz, [url="http://www.allianzmusicalinsurance.co.uk/"]http://www.allianzmusicalinsurance.co.uk[/url] New Moon, [url="http://www.newmooninsurance.com/musical/"]http://www.newmooninsurance.com/musical/[/url] Lark, [url="https://www.larkinsurance.co.uk/private-clients/musical-instrument"]https://www.larkinsurance.co.uk/private-clients/musical-instrument[/url] E&L, [url="http://www.eandl.co.uk/musical-equipment-insurance/"]http://www.eandl.co.uk/musical-equipment-insurance/[/url] And that's just from one page of googling.

    Brilliant. I hope Dirty Loops are watching this
  18. toneknob
    Thanks Dave! If you need a hand with any of them, shout out on basschat, someone's bound to know
  19. toneknob
    Hi Dave I've really enjoyed these couple of videos - one request though, when referring to specific notes could you use the note name rather than the fret position? We've already got the tab elsewhere in the clip, having the note named connects the dots (sorry) between tab and notation.

    What kind of bassist is his mate to (a) not be able to get a gig on his own (b ) be (I assume) complicit in his guitarist pal's intent? Get him a BC login! Hope it all works out for you. You're doing it all the right way.

    I'm a recent OBBM convert: I needed something sturdy for upcoming gigs and my then current cable set's reliability was getting (ahem) patchy. The Bassic Bits (now also known as Rock Wire) cables are bombproof and, importantly for me, you can choose cable length and connector type at order time. Turnaround time is super-quick as well.
  22. toneknob
    Sold! Thanks for looking.
