    Well, well well. You could blow me down with a feather..! At least, now, I know my place, miserable earthworm that I am (and drummer to boot..!). There is now a definitive source, fountain of knowledge on all matters bass (or even music..?). It's been a long time coming; rejoice, rejoice. All hail...


    So...

    I still don't see why all these 'Coltranes' and the like have to go 'widdly widdly' over a potentially lovely piece of music. It certainly spoils the whole thing. Some folks seem to have no taste. A shame, it started off quite well, for jazz... :mellow:

    Circle Studios refurb

    Far from an expert on site design, but I would suggest that some people in there would give a more 'human' feel, and a sense of proportion in some cases (room sizes...). We see architects using people in their sketches and mock-ups exactly for this reason. I got an impression of cold, aloof, distant, clinical.
    This may, of course be intentional, in which case, ignore.
    Just my tuppence-worth; hope this helps.

    Quick & Dirty Poll on Band Name

    in General Discussion

    Posted · Edited by Dad3353

    Going back into my distant past, and thinking of all the bands and groups that I've ever admired, liked or played in/with, I can't think of a single one with a name that was 'appropriate', or even any 'sense' at all. Too long a list; suffice it to say that the name is, imho, just about the last 'quality' to a band or group to worry about.
    I may be alone, of course...

    Do this - do it now!

    A Really Stupid Question About Theory

    [quote name='yepmop' timestamp='1360159122' post='1965799']...or can i use different scales to match the appropiate chords within the song?...[/quote]
    Good afternoon, Tony...

    I'm not an expert, so take this with a pinch or two of salt, but...

    I'd be wary of thinking 'scales' in this context. As a general 'rule', I would suggest that, as the chords progress throughout the song, that the notes of those chords be considered as 'safe to play' (they will fit...). I would not recommend associating scales with these chords; sometimes it's helpful, but many times not. Go for the chord notes (arpeggios...), not scales.
    Hope this helps, and subject to correction...

    Hiwatt amps

    As a current owner/user of a DR203 Hiwatt amp (200w PA, 4 x KT88...) I will confirm their reputation. Loud, clean, great sound, awesome build quality. The DR203 is not for weaklings - it is [s]rather[/s] very heavy.
    Do not go down this route if you're looking for anything but 'clean', however. Any 'dirt' or 'grit' will have to come from outside (and will be faithfully reproduced...); these amps are for clean headroom, not for o/p valve overdrive.

    Aha..! That makes sense, now you mention it, of my recurring dream with the giant panda fornicating with Harry Worth in a 'phone box, watched by Toby Twirl and the Dagenham Girl Pipers. I still can't understand why all those squids are necessary, however, nor the 'slow motion' footwork. Hmmm... I'll ask fumps...

    Ignorant Band Members?

    Hardly surprising really, is it? 'Musicians' are mostly completely deluded fantasists with a Messiah complex, egos the size of a planet and high levels of entitlement and expectation, generally undeserved.

    Is it any wonder that they're selfish bastards as well..? :D

    Yes. They target legless ex-pilots. I believe they are called the Douglas Bader Meinhof organisation. Not sure what they stand for.... or, indeed, on. :blink:

    You'll find that teaching methods have improved since those days. It's more productive to start right off with drum-sticks. Patting your head etc. was found to not produce a decent 'disco' beat, and has been dropped. :rolleyes:
