John Entwistle's Ox, at Brunel University. We left after very few minutes, having been pummelled in the guts until we reached the exit doors, plus the sax screech. Loud..? Not arf..!

Ah, nostalgia..! There were also a few in Kingston (-Upon Thames...), Bell Music, Bell Road, Hounslow (pronounced 'Arnsler' by the natives...) and, for the brave, a 'front room of a terraced house-shop' in Hampton Hill; Mrs Nicholls opened the door. I don't think I ever saw the son whose 'shop' it was. Only s/h stuff, and pretty tatty, but it was all we could afford. Happy daze.

What is this 'Facebook' of which you speak..? ...

Duplicate posts. ...

Folk in denial that refuse to acknowledge that they would benefit from professional help ...

Topics about irrational prejudices.

How about zip-lock bags (as used for food to put in the freezer...)..? Keeps everything together and dust-free. Re-usable, too, if ever you put the pieces back on the bass.

Split the keyboard, with the bottom half panned hard left, the upper hard right (well, maybe not as hard as that, but more than 50% at least...). Pan the bass to the middle, obviously. Ideally, of course, this 'sharing' of the frequencies should be done when the song is composed and arranged, so as to have a better sonic field for each instrument, although there's no absolute rules for this, either. Some overlap can be musically valid, it depends on the song. Kudos for the drumming in the video; more interesting than many 'young' bands these daze. All in all, Good Stuff, worth getting right 'live'. Hope this helps.

Fixed. ...

Advertising..? Back-room staff..? Fines for poor fire procedures..? I may not have all the details right, I'm not their accountant.

Cost of financing equipment and property acquisitions and rentals..? Interest rates are cripplingly high.

Listening to equivalent music through those same 'cans' should give your ears/brain the references needed for your own stuff. Put some favourite reference tracks of similar genre into Garageband and compare with your mix. Adjust to get yours to sound as good as your reference tracks to your ears. This technique works whatever one is monitoring with, even if one's own hearing is less than top-notch.

On the other hand, it should be possible, and doubtless easier, to route an Aux Send/Return to an external delay unit that has the required on/off and tap-tempo features.

Here's the relevant (two...) pages from the User Manual (has to be from my Google Drive, as every bloomin' file seems to be too big these days for BC ..!)... X32 Compact Midi Implementation info ... Hope it helps.

"It doesn't matter..." I gave it two minutes. I didn't like the song, at all, nor the bass in it (well, you did ask...). Shades of Cap't Beefheart, but he and his cohorts did it better, in my view. Devoid of interest, for me, but... Do your 'thing'. Peace. Disclaimer : I'm a drummer, soooooo...

It should indeed, but the doc is a bit... err... 'sparce', lacking in detail and clarity. The link I posted explains a bit better how to approach the subject.

You might find the information in this 'blog' post useful. It would appear that FX is not a great problem; less sure about tap tempo. Worth a read through..? What Jessie Did Next blog page ... Hope this helps.

Good evening... No, I've not listened to the linked track, as I don't, in general, click on links from sources I'm not sure of. Not to say that that link is not respectable, but, on this forum, it's usual to introduce oneself, post a little about oneself, and generally participate a bit to build up confidence in what is, after all, a rapport between complete strangers. Once you get to know some of us better, and we you, there is a much better chance of getting useful comments relating to all things bass. I hope this helps; meanwhile... Have a great day. Douglas

If I may make the assumption that you drive a car (or ride a motorbike...), you may remember the very first time in charge. There's the whole process of starting off, then a permanent series of things that the brain and body must coordinate to make it work, safely. At first, there's the notion of braking and holding down the clutch, so as not to stall. Then the rigmarole of changing from one gear to the next, with hand and arm movements and foot control. Doing all of this thankfully becomes second nature, and after some practice, one may do these things subconsciously, with no mental effort, all the while listening to the cd player and holding down a conversation. How did that happen..? Yes, it's just good ol' solid repetition and practice. It comes all the faster if one takes it slowly, a bit at a time, without being too ambitious, too early. The more one does it, routinely, the better it becomes assimilated into one's reflexes. It's not that it's easy; it's as easy as the (small...) effort one puts into it. Anyone, including yourself, can do it, with just a little self-discipline and regular (once a day for a few minutes..?) exercise. Does this help..?

In that case, try : 'You're not going to refuse to do a video shoot, are you..?' ...

It's become rather more a concept, than any one feature, in similar fashion to a 'Hoover', or 'Frigidaire' becoming accepted beyond their original brand name. One could say the same of a Precision, or a Jazz, in the bass world.

Yes, as above, the chords seem to be G, D and Amin, so any notes from those chords will fit. You can see the chords changing from his hand positions, so just watch and listen, and you'll soon 'hear' what you're seeing. Try it, using the video, and listen to what notes you play fit best. Top tip : just play notes on the beat at first, and all will become clear.

In that case, simplify. There's no shame in playing at your best (not theirs, or the original bassist's...). Most songs can be simplified, keeping much of the 'spirit' of it all. The audience will fill in any other auditory information from their own knowledge of the song, and if they don't know it well, what does it matter..? Don't flail yourself skinless over a piece that's above your pay-grade. Play it as best you can (and practice more in the years to come, obviously...). Your ears will develop faster if you use 'em more, too, so keep working stuff out the 'old school' way.

GuitarPro does both notation and tabs, so if you have a 'dots' version, GP will create a 'tab' for you. Don't be fooled by the name, GP works well for bass, too.
