Tabs!

Can't really imagine him in the script or some other saggy arsed chino wearing band can you?

Tone works is a vox thing isn't it? I'd say they know the vox bass lurking at the back is poop but don't want give fender any advertising so stuck that logo on some kind of korean jazz copy?

Isn't he just on both counts

Did someone mention norman watt-roy?

I have been playing for well over 20 years and rate myself lower than a 6/10 Imo you need to come out of your comfort zone, so head for something totally fresh?

I think they use pro musicians still so you need to be a pro and with the MU, you then get paid accordingly (if you get the job) depending on if its a full mime, mime but with live BVs or a fully live performance. I would imagine some kind of agency would be your first port of call?

Our guitarist has a pointy Hamer that he has had rewired for allsorts of pickup combinations, wheres a leather jacket that he painted his own devil design on, loves 80's metal and anything pointy would you jam with him wateroftyne?

So why does anyone have anything more than 100watts? Why do barefaced cabs get a reputation for being power hungry etc?

And a spliff

There must be a point though where you need a big enough amp to drive them though? Hanging 4 4x10s off an old Trace 150 watt head for example cant be the best can it, especially if your sucking up juice with a 5 string?

But they are shaped a bit odd, a 5 string jazz, P or even the new EBMM Classic 5 looks fairly similar unless your a bass nerd though. If no one tried putting things out of their natural habitat we would be stuck in the 60's (some people are). Anyway I would turn up for the jazz/blues gig with my upright

Now thats funny because I have found all the same notes on mm 5 string basses so any music style that can be played on 4 can be done on 5, is a six different then? Your being drawn up the same path about what looks right!

The funny thing is that the electric bass has not been around that long in the grand scheme of things anyway, all these stupid ideas have been forged over roughly 10 year periods, 60's, 70's, punk, electro stuff, pop, metal, brit pop etc, I have socks older than those fashion periods. Imagine the upright players reaction to the 51 P bass.....it will never catch on just like class D heads etc

Once you learn tab though its an easy go to which might be good for many but I am not the only one that had wished I had learnt score from the off.

As nice as they are I'm bored of seeing tobacco burst p or j basses in every video or live (mimed) show, it appears to be the only fashionable thing to have right now, I would rather turn one of them away than a 5er . Remember the good old days of pointy things and garish colours? Anyway all ERB players are w***ers

Yes I think maybe I should check with my teacher before ordering one then, ta

Thanks Damo, would even a cheapo wooden one be ok then if I go German? I cant see me progressing that far with the arco but I can see its good for scales to sustain the notes so its mainly for that at the moment although I am prepared to give anything a go

And what about resin/rosin? no idea on that either

This is cheap enough but has a German frog [url="http://www.thomann.de/gb/thomann_cbb01g_34_carbon_bassbow.htm"]http://www.thomann.de/gb/thomann_cbb01g_34_carbon_bassbow.htm[/url] I could go to this but will it be crap [url="http://www.thomann.de/gb/gewa_bassbogen_franzoesisch_34.htm"]http://www.thomann.de/gb/gewa_bassbogen_franzoesisch_34.htm[/url] I like this [url="http://www.thomann.de/gb/rothjunius_rjcf_01g_carbon_bass_bow.htm"]http://www.thomann.de/gb/rothjunius_rjcf_01g_carbon_bass_bow.htm[/url] French, carbon and within budget?

[quote name='GreeneKing' timestamp='1356711381' post='1912802'] I thought you were going to ask about women [/quote] My sister in law is French if it was that simple I would now choose German! I guess I should ask Doddy as he will be the poor begger trying to get me to make something like a tune using it?

If you played anything else over this it would of made something other than Oasis, that might be a good thing who knows but enough people liked it didn't they? [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SaeLKhRnkhQ[/media] I hate them but I guess it inspired many people to think "well I could play that lets get a band going"

[quote name='Dingus' timestamp='1356709808' post='1912767'] I wouldn't put Adan Clayton in the same bracket as the other two because he makes so much more of a contribution to the sound of that band than the other two ( three ) have ever done to theirs . Show me a Coldplay or Oasis record where the bass is an integral part of the overall composition like it is on New Years Day , With Or Without You , Still Havent Found ect and several others I can't be bothered to name ,. It might be simple but it's memorable and often highly effective . The same cannot be said of the fellows out of Coldplay or Oasis , who have literally never played anything of any merit . Ever . [/quote] I dont like any of the bands in question but disagree on all levels, the boring basslines were integral to the early Oasis and Coldplay. I cant beleive I am defending Cold Play
