[quote name='julesb' timestamp='1483819022' post='3210425'] Yes, noise that a lot of people assume is jazz, probably including Noel [/quote] I reckon folks know more about jazz than you give them credit for - think of, I dunno...Dave Brubeck, Louis Armstrong, Ella Fitzgerald, Duke Ellington...take your pick - I'd say there are plenty of well-known jazz musicians to ensure that folks just don't think of free improv/noise when they think of jazz. Sure it's a caricature - people making 'tuneless' jazz, but so is endless guitar solos by tattooed guitarists with goaties, and not all heavy metal is like that. So I'm told

[quote name='julesb' timestamp='1483817868' post='3210414'] I love the jazz I love. This clip encapsulates what people hate about what they think is jazz. [/quote] I think if you played that to most people they're not call it jazz, they'd call it noise. And that's not a pejorative statement about the music.

[quote name='solo4652' timestamp='1483814503' post='3210381'] I asked him that. He said; "Because it sounds really good." [/quote] A gentle explanation about each instrument needing some sonic space is in order methinks.

[quote name='solo4652' timestamp='1483808281' post='3210300'] Any thoughts, folks? [/quote] Why is the guitarist playing an acoustic through a bass amp ?

Tried a few times with them, not my cup of tea - shedloads of ability though ! Listening to great musicianship has a limited shelf life for me if the music doesn't move me.

Don't mind real Me neither, it's s description not a definition. Although if I'm to be credited in print I prefer 'electric bass' - it just sounds cooler.

[quote name='Happy Jack' timestamp='1483741536' post='3209853'] ... Johnny's just re-started the music stand argument. [/quote] Nope, he closed it, as Burrito said... [quote name='Burrito' timestamp='1483746593' post='3209897'] If Johnny Cash can use one they must be acceptable. [/quote]

Wirehed, eh...who's the Larry Niven fan ? Good tune ! This happened to me as well....I bunged a cover up on the internet somewhere (I forget where...this was something like 1998) and the years later whilst looking for the actual song on you tube, this came up [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mm6eQEOXYKI[/media] Looking at the comments, some folks even thought it was a demo of the original

[quote name='bubinga5' timestamp='1483738483' post='3209804'] Do you/He actually think that about Jazz.? Jazz is way bigger than what he's talking about. [/quote] Last time I hung out with Jazz it seemed more than happy doing its own thing.

..I'm always running out.

He's quite within his rights to like it or not, and if it's an ill-informed opinion then it's only his loss. It's not like someone trying one of your sweets and then spitting it out...jazz is still there.

Boots ? Boots ? I was wondering exactly how bramleyapple's Dungeon Master was treating him to cause such problems. Being stingy with Experience Points ?

Hey, 1st post ! Welcome to the forum NIce bass - would you be able to measure the pickups ? They don't look the same dimensions as, say, Jazz bass pickups, so the dimensions might suggest some alternatives.

[quote name='MiltyG565' timestamp='1483493237' post='3207700'] Come for the groove, stay for the dugga dugga. [/quote] What you do in private is [i]your[/i] concern, just...consensual, eh ?

[quote name='FinnDave' timestamp='1483626123' post='3208781'] Damn, never thought of that. [/quote]

[quote name='FinnDave' timestamp='1483607293' post='3208562'] I know two teachers, and both have Facebook accounts in their own names. They are both my daughters! [/quote] Those are the accounts they let their Dad see !

He's so tiny !!

[quote name='Musashimonkey' timestamp='1483603763' post='3208528'] Yep, very good point I hadn't thought of. Thank you. [/quote] He's a clever chap that Grangur... (I hadn't thought of that either !)

[quote name='blue' timestamp='1483586716' post='3208502'] Agreed, some conservative companies might look at a Facebook page and if they see that your in a rock band they might assume your either a bum, alcoholic or drug user. Blue [/quote] Anyone who works in a role with some responsibility and whose name is easily available to the public (teachers, doctors, police officers, professional librarians in national libraries, etc.) has to be very careful what details they allow online. Not a single teacher I know has a Facebook account in their own name...and it's not their bosses they're avoiding.

I'm impossible to find on Facebook ....at least that's what my friends tell me

[quote name='stingrayPete1977' timestamp='1483562420' post='3208342'] My lunch? [/quote] Could do, food does go down well - I posted a picture of a particularly larger brazil nut I found once. It was more popular than any of my wedding photos I'd posted !

[quote name='peteb' timestamp='1483559056' post='3208285'] Why on earth not?? All you are being asked to do is work out how to play some songs and then perform them on stage. The same skills or required whether you are playing covers or originals... [/quote] Well, if you spend your whole time playing already-written parts, is it any guarantee that you'll be any good at writing your own ? I'll point out that I said it doesn't automatically follow, I wasn't suggesting that the two sets of skills are mutually exclusive, as I know they're not.
