I just wanted to add to this thread that I bought some CDs from Bruno and it was really easy to deal with him. I won't hesitate doing business with him again in future. Thanks Bruno!

PIcked up a Marcus Miller CD from Nick. Great disk packed nicely and shipped fast (so fast that I did not realise until the day after it came, heh!). No hesitation to do business with again...thanks!

Hey Martin! Yep, still got that streamer. I did on a couple occasions ponder for a few microseconds to let it go to fund another Warwick (surprise surprise), but I quickly threw that thought out. I know people on this thread have a lot of stuff going in and out, but I just can't bring myself to sell anything (yet)...heh. Until I decide to grow up one day, I think the goal is just to 'slowly' acquire a ton load of Warwicks. For what purpose, I don't know...but I want 'em!

-In: An awesome Warwick Streamer special edition Markbass cab -Out: I've no idea what you're talking about... -I 'wish' was In: A crapload of stuff I could not afford and one special bass, you know...the one that you've waited 2 years for (maybe the one that got away ) Oh well, seeming as its not the end of the world as yet then hopefully that leaves next year

Thanks Scott. It does pretty much answer my question though, in that it does not seem like there is a way to instantly play something I hear in my head as I won't know what that first note is. The ultimate goal for me would be to hear some melody, line, whatever in my head and then just instantly play that on my bass. And if I could do that in real time for some constantly evolving idea I have in my head would be amazing. As regards the perfect pitch, I have a friend who does have it and actually seems irritated by it. As an example, he can always hear if an instrument/note is off pitch and hampers his enjoyment of it! Thanks again though. Looking forward to your other videos.

Thanks for the reply. The reason I had to ask those questions is because I need to 'dumb' this thing right down for me. As you stated, only a very few people appear to possess perfect pitch. But I just always assumed that for someone to hear a bass line, and then just instantly (or almost so) regurgitate it on their bass woud need to have perfect pitch? I mean if not, how would you even know which is the first note to start on instantly? If it is that you need to 'fumble' around for the first note initially so that you have a basis on which to find the other notes in the line based on familiarity and relative pitch, then OK I get that. Maybe thats the 'secret' for the non perfect pitch people. If you are someone who does not have perfect pitch, but yet can hear a line and immediately play it like jakesbass (no idea if he has perfect pitch), then please tell little ole me how the heck you did that. But as All Thumbs stated, there is more to come. Maybe I'm jumping ahead of him, sorry Thanks again though for the insights!

Hi Scott, Interesting stuff. If its 2 ideas I've heard over and over the past couple years its sing what you play, and the use of visualization (neither of which I do mind you, doh!). But I really need to set aside time to work with those things. Just wanted to ask though, and it may just be me being slow, but I didn't really get what you were trying to say between 16:50 and 17:20. You did a couple of edits in those few seconds. Are you saying that you will eventually be able to put a song on, hear the bass line and sing it, and then just 'play it' on the bass with not too much fuss or fiddling around to find the notes? And then you spoke about knowing which key to play in after you've found the notes you sung/played?

Just wanted to say thanks for the site man and the transcriptions. The dots are universal, but thank goodness for google translate

Not that I need to leave feedback for John cause this feedback thread speaks for itself! Easy transaction. Bought John's Aria Sinsonido. It was so light you might mistake the box it came in for being empty, heh. Just right for playing around with when you should be doing...ahem...work at the office Thanks again John!

And I shall be the first...heh! Bought a gigbag from Ian. Good communication, arranged a quick meetup and the deal was easily done. Nice guy to deal with and I'll have no problems doing business with him again. Thanks for the bag, and best of luck with the studies!

Bought a Hercules stand from Mark. Extremely prompt and exactly as described. He even contacted me to check up if all was OK with the stand, and only then did I realise it was delivered to me 2 days before and I did not even know, ha! Thanks Mark, pleasure to deal with...!!!

I should have done this over a year ago, but I get a second opportunity to do it now...better late than never, right Bought some books from Mike last year and was very happy. I've managed to avoid looking at his book list since then but could not resist anymore. So I went back again (twice in one week!) to get some more. Very prompt and reliable, and he even offered advice! Great stuff.

Any lesson about 'sexy' notes has got to be worth it....awesome as always.

Interesting...thanks for posting this!

I bought a streamer special edition from Chris. I can't express how happy I am! There were some logistics to getting the deal done but with Chris's willingness to help and his patience I am now the proud owner of that bass. A massive massive MASSIVE thank you to Chris. An _awesome_ bass and an AWESOME BC'er! I heartily recommend him!
