I did listen to it all the way through actually thanks, nice latin groove on the other hand this needs nothing more and nothing less, nada! [url="http://youtu.be/1XJkjVMk_oE"]http://youtu.be/1XJkjVMk_oE[/url]

[quote name='TheSiberian' timestamp='1409987487' post='2545125'] Ha ha, yes you are right, But some loop stations goove not so bad... Check this out. Best [url="http://m.youtube.com/watch?v=kd349Df1Ows"]http://m.youtube.com...h?v=kd349Df1Ows[/url] [/quote] Hey dont get me wrong I went to the Yanek Gwizdala workshop!, I dont mind a bit of twiddling but it has to be right for the gig, If I had gone to see Yanek and he showed us a few Coldplay numbers I would have wanted my money back on the other hand AC/DC have done rather well without any two handed tapping, in fact instead of watching one guy tapping Cliff Williams got millions of peoples feet tapping! I dont think they will be too worried about xgsjx's lack of purchases due to a lack of fourths and 9ths missing.

[quote name='BILL POSTERS' timestamp='1409651622' post='2541797'] So if they aint got a nice wholesome haircut you wont lend it ? I usually try and help young kids out, up to a point anyway. I was an uncouth hairy yob myself at that age. Once had a nicely dressed, polite young lad ask to borrow my Bass, thats a step too far really but I let him use it. [/quote] The hairstyle alone isn't the problem it is the fact that 100% of the time it is the ones that turn up without any gear and most importantly any manners are always the super cool guys that think the whole event has been set up for them! As I said before if the young band have turned up with a 30watt bass combo I have often lent my amp to them if they are friendly and enthusiastic, some have even had silly haircuts and still lent the rig on occasion

As long as it plays well it should be a nice bass, you could stick a 2 band ebmm clone preamp in it at a later date if it sounds a little bit limp.

[quote name='TheSiberian' timestamp='1409943283' post='2544939'] The guys who play only root notes are just so exciting as eating spaghetti without sauce or drinking alcohol free whisky. Best [/quote] Yet the bands mentioned so far are far more popular than the typical music created on basses like the one in your avatar, even as a bassist I'd rather listen listen to AC/DC's greatest hits than a solo bassist with a loop station so im not surprised really

[quote name='Graham' timestamp='1409937917' post='2544866'] I'm sure it's just the lack of anything for scale, but it looks more like a toy in that photo than the Thumb in the Warwick thread [/quote] It does look like the body is too small for the neck doesn't it? I suspect it is smaller than my classic 5? Ooh its like a Stingray 5 without the dodgy pickguard [URL=http://s997.photobucket.com/user/stingraypete/media/20130623_172731_zps46dbb2fd.jpg.html][IMG]http://i997.photobucket.com/albums/af100/stingraypete/20130623_172731_zps46dbb2fd.jpg[/IMG][/URL]

[quote name='Hobbayne' timestamp='1409911901' post='2544485'] I suppose even Macca is guilty on songs like "A hard days night" and "Please please me" [/quote] Please please me all root notes? It has some great little walking lines in it and some tidy rock and roll style fills, defo not roots only that one.

[quote name='chrismuzz' timestamp='1409909138' post='2544455'] Ooh it's like a Stingray 5 without the dodgy pickguard [/quote] Stingray classic 5 with a 2 grand saving!

I haven't changed any of my strings for over a year and that's when I do it and change the battery, probably about due really, my blue and black SR5s have the typical dirty maple finger boards people dislike about them now.

[quote name='paul_5' timestamp='1409762290' post='2543071'] it's a midlife crisis [/quote] Very good, sir, very good

A slightly less obvious female bassist and one I rate would be Charlotte Hatherley, Lead guitarist from the band Ash but she plays some nice bass on her solo albums. She is now in KT tunstall's band as lead guitarist but I bet she could do a good job on bass duties

[quote name='ubit' timestamp='1409730986' post='2542638'] I seen where you went with that [/quote] I chose to ignore it, lol

Its a good question and certainly a thread I've not seen before, lol

It is live in the studio... at the moment it is being played is live...bleed is bleed, running a lead from the keys to the PA, mic'ing a guitar amp but keeping them low in the mix is just keeping them low in the mix, if they are lower than the signal going in via the SM58s as actual bleed (nothing to do with a studio term, it is still bleed) then you are not gaining anything and if the signal from the keys/guitar is higher than the vocal mic bleed signal then it is no different to what we all do and you mix the levels accordingly. Like I said before that is not bleed it is just putting a bit of keys/guitar in the FOH mix, barring any gig where all the players are in separate closed rooms it is what every band in the world does isnt it? I get what you are saying JTUK, you are putting into the PA what the mics would collect anyway, you can control the gain level to give more than the mics out front but unless you are doing something to stop the actual bleed you still cant reduce the amount of gain can you?

[quote name='gelfin' timestamp='1409695090' post='2542444'] You haven't played my Ric. At every Cardiff bass bash the "I don't like Rics" have had a go and changed their minds. There are great examples of all marques, just like there are poor ones. Each to his own, and I like playing my own. [/quote] This is what I keep hearing but they are being very elusive thus far

The sad truth is from 11000+ members we must have all sorts here ([b]I am not talking about gays here[/b]!), I know we have one member that is/was in a facist punk band, plenty of clips with swastikas etc "but he really just liked the music", OK on yer bike knobhead, thankfully I forget who it is. I presume we probably have some nonces in the worst terminology.

http://www.recordingmag.com/glossary/B/42.html As a site of musicians (I use the term lightly for myself!) strictly speaking we should use the correct terms imo, it only generates more arguements down the line

Thats just 'putting a bit of....' in the PA, not bleed.

One of my bands has electric drums, weird on stage as you can talk at normal volume to each other while the pa deafens the audience! Bleed is where the mics pick up other instruments, in this case the keys and other instruments can be heard via the singers mic coming from the pa a bit 'bleeding' out, its why some big stages have drums behind a screen afaik, vocal booths for live recording to keep a clean vocal track etc.

Im in the middle, weeks of going over the same stuff that someone (99% of the time the drummer) still hasnt learnt is painful, on the other hand im not good enough to blag it 100% so I like at least one run through before a dep gig or a few rehearsals if its a song for our own band. I know ebs freak's band dont rehearse at all, the email is sent, the song is learnt or perfectly sight read on the gig, if you cant stand the heat and all that! they can have many songs in a week to learn yet they are super tight, thats why they are booked up years in advance!

I like the sound of your band though! Best wishes with the fingers

Angel Dust, pearl jam Ten, Nirvana nevermind, pumkins siamese dream all went round and round my walkman for about three years with very little else

Lol. If I get chance I will measure my moms Alfa for you.
