I nominate "Dave Dee, Dozy, Beaky, Mick & Titch". That's not a band name, it's a register!
-
I used to [s]hate[/s] not look forward to playing "Blackout' by the Scorpions, 'cos it's just an E most of the way through to solos, so I livened it up by sticking in some two-handed tapping. It's still one of my least favourite tracks to play, but it's a lot more fun now.

Up for sale is my beloved Hartke Hydrive 410 1000Watts and 8 ohms. It's got a few scuffs on the tolex, the biggest of which is on the back, but these are only cosmetic. [url="http://s1221.photobucket.com/user/paul_510/media/Cab%20Front_zps4hwgwgr2.jpg.html"][/url] [url="http://s1221.photobucket.com/user/paul_510/media/Cab%20Back_zpsj4bkai7p.jpg.html"][/url] Here's a detailed shot of the tear on the back... [url="http://s1221.photobucket.com/user/paul_510/media/Cab%20Back%20Detail_zps2i9cf6am.jpg.html"][/url] and another small one on the side... [url="http://s1221.photobucket.com/user/paul_510/media/Cab%20Side_zpshyzwhxow.jpg.html"][/url] These things will take anything you throw at them and more. 4 Aluminium/Paper hybrid speakers and a selectable HF horn. Looking for £350. Based in Ramsbottom/North Manchester. Can deliver within reasonable distance. -
A well set up 'entry level' bass can change it from an 'adequate' bass to the 'go to' instrument. Do you have a particular sound in mind? Are you looking to emulate another player's tone? If so, then I'd look at what sort of bass they use.

I swear by my DHA VT1-EQ. I use it to add a bit of grit and polish to my signal before it hits my (uber-clean) SWR head. The DI is great too.
-
I don't suppose anyone's got a transcription to 'Dark Prince' from the Trio Of Doom album with Matheny, Pastorius and Williams do they? I could have sworn I had one, then sat down to give it some attention last night and couldn't find it anywhere.

Chord OC-50. It's a clone of the classics Boss OC-2. They can be had for toughly £40 BRAND NEW.
-
I've fitted 2 of the J Retros and never had any problems - even the older models with solder tabs instead of screw terminals were a doddle to install. I'd recommend an East to anybody playing a Jazz bass.

[quote name='bobbass4k' timestamp='1430682594' post='2763708'] Using 4001's for clipping in the second stage makes a surprisingly big difference. Excuse the messy wiring job, I embrace the ethos of function over form. [/quote] I've always rated 4001s as clippers. Good work sir.

[quote name='Iain' timestamp='1430652466' post='2763360'] For comedy value ask an unsuspecting band member to pick it up by the side handles and watch them chin themselves as they put way too much effort in... [/quote] Awesome idea - I've GOT to have one now!

Played a 'Battle of the Bands' at a Rock bar in East Lancashire. The sound was terrible (no top end through the PA), so none of the singers could hear themselves properly, so that was a bit of a struggle, and the stage was tiny. On the plus side I played my head through a Barefaced cab (and loved it), and we got through to the next round.

[quote name='alexclaber' timestamp='1430586383' post='2762914'] But I'm very glad you liked whichever of our cabs it was! [/quote] 2nd Gen 2x12 with a HF driver. PM'ed.

Dunno. It would need to deliver the same sort of punch as the Hydrive, but I wouldn't imagine that's a problem based on what I heard last night. Also, given that I run the Hydrive with the HF horn turned off it could arguable be any of them. Actually this is more Mrs_5's GAS - she wants me to have a smaller rig sitting around the house, and my back would probably appreciate it too...
-
Last night I ran my SWR head through a Barefaced cab, instead of my usual Hartke Hydrice 410. I suspect I [i]may[/i] just have developed a tiny amount of GAS... :-S

The 'parent' key is E Major, but it's starting on the 4th note of that key, which makes it a modal tune. The 4th mode of a parent scale (starting the Major scale on the 4th note) is a Lydian mode, so this is an A Lydian. You've playing an E major scale, but going from A to A (A, B, C#, D#, E F#, G#, A) instead of going E to E (E, F#, G#, A, B, C#, D#, E) - same notes, different start and end points. -
Oooooohhhhh Nice!

[quote name='hiram.k.hackenbacker' timestamp='1430382610' post='2760768'] If he's that worried about you dropping one note, he could probably do with listening back to his own vocal performance :-) [/quote] I'll be honest with you, that was the first thing that crossed my mind too.
-
[quote name='spectoremg' timestamp='1430378019' post='2760712'] Used to regularly flick the hipshot down for Summer of '69 and forget to put it back for the next song. [/quote] Ditto. Different song, but same faux-pas…

Lost dogs - basses you wish you could buy back... Have you got it now?

I sold a Hohner fretless Jazz in about 2008 through HW Audio in Bolton, Greater Manchester. I don't suppose anybody knows where it went, do they? White with a tort scratchplate. I think it was an ebanol fingerboard too. -
Not any more. I went up and down the country in a Queen tribute act (about 20 years ago). Not a day goes by that I miss it.

TC Group bought by Behringer (including TC Electronic)

This. -
Ah, you'll regret selling it! I'm on my second of these - sold the first one thinking I could get the same sound and responsiveness in a smaller, cheaper unit and then 6 months later realised that I couldn't. Great practice tool too, as it's got the 1/8" stereo line in and 1/8" headphone socket round the back. Perfect for playing along to mp3 players etc... -
I'll tell you how they can do it for £100 - "B[font="arial, helvetica, sans-serif"]y exploiting the workers.

Y'know Les Paul is responsible for more than a couple of ground-breaking ideas - there's the guitars, the playing, multi-track recording etc...

Jack also played on 'Apostrophe' by Frank Zappa. Much as I love Jaco's playing I'd say go for Jack Bruce. I doubt that there's anything about Jaco that hasn't alrady been written.
