Vinyl always sounds better than digital music. So glad to hear vinyl is making a comeback and most bands now do sell vinyl on their merch stand.

Less is more Dynamics are more important than you think The whole is more important than the individual

His most recent stuff is actually pretty good. The clip you posted just shows that he has some talent but I agree it's been lost along the way. If this guy actually practised and remained humble I think he'd make an amazing musician as that drum solo wasn't bad at all. I've seen better drummers obviously but he's doing a bang up job (pun)

I think I've got the CD as I've got the transcription book. Drop me a message and I'll see if I can get the track over to you.

The Ibanez fan fret Basses are amazing. I've got an SR605 myself but I have a special place in my heart for the fan frets. That little bit of extra scale length makes a massive difference (IMO)

If my schedule works out I'll be there.

I made it through. I sold some non essential gear that I won't miss and kept the beautiful Sandberg bass. My Bass is safe for another year I think.

I used to have Fender Modern Player Jazz V but I couldn't get on with it. Always seemed hard work compared to my Sandberg. Exactly. I know as soon as I sell it I'll miss it. It's been my gigging bass for the last 4 years so it's definitely sentimental. Here's to holding on for better times. Although I keep looking at all those Dingwall basses in the Bass for Sale section.

Someone talk me out of selling my Sandberg 5 string TM bass. Money is a bit thin at the minute and I can't shake the sell my bass feeling. Words of encouragement much appreciated

Brought the Darkglass Super Symmetry pedal from [url="http://basschat.co.uk/user/33028-jtotheltotheo/"]jtotheltotheo[/url] and it came as described. Well packaged, well protected and it arrived the following day (although I missed the delivery). Top lad.

Who's had any experience with Rockschool (now re-branded as RSL Awards), Trinity, LCM or any other musical exam body. I'm asking more in a teaching context for students more than personal study or taking the exam yourself. My personal favourite is Rockschool but I do have a few students using Trinity.

If the solo is melodic and not just a thousand notes a second then yes but once the technical side takes over and it's just bass or slap shred then I switch off.

Just a few photos from various giggings I've done throughout the years. I'm specifically targeting those photos which include epic bass faces or bass poses. Apparently I'm known for throwing some interesting shapes while gigging so these photos pretty much sum it up.

I got 14 out of 15 because i misread the diminished seventh as dominant seventh. I knew it was diminished but my english reading skills weren't obviously up to scratch as I clicked the wrong answer. Misjudgement on my part. Gutted.

Hi, I'm looking for a wholesaler/distributor for bass strings. I currently co-own and run a music educational academy offering private 1-2-1 music tuition for keyboard, Vocals, Electric Guitar, Drums and of course Bass guitar. We're looking for companies that we can affiliate with and sell their products at our academy to our students. Does anyone know any companies that would be interested in something like this. I've tried contacting a few major string companies but i've had no replies so far. Thanks for all the help.

I'd make the journey from Birmingham to a Manchester bash. Let me know if someone organises it.

Me too. I don't even live by Bristol but I'd travel down if someone organised it

I'd have to mention John Deacon. Obviously played for one of the most famous bands but not that many people know or mention him as a bass influence.

Feedback for Scooby. I brought a TecAmp Puma 500 from him on Saturday and not only did he give me a detailed run down of the bass head explaining how each dial works etc he also recommended bass players, places to go and check out bass equipment and how to get more recording work. Such a nice guy and straight to the point. No messing around and made himself available on short notice.
