My internet crashed so I'm lost now Anna's definitely a good player, no denying that, but it sounded like she was slapping for the hell of and with no real pattern or thought into what she was playing, hence the lackage of feel, thus having a slight affect on the timing, but sod that as I'll end up rambling I was quite guilty for picking up a bass and slapping a bit, but I like to play a lot of riffs, so I apologise to anybody who heard either Money, Love Machine or Superstition played quite iffyly...that would've been me [/quote] Hi all - Yes it's me the slapper. Spot on with the comment Goblin, it did become a bit of a slap feast at times. Unfortunately for me as it was my first bass day. I had two tracks pre recorded into Logic to play along to. One track a two hand tapping shuffle type of thing the other a bit of a Funk/Soul number. When I ran them though my little PA you could not hear anything including my bass so had to knock it on the head. In the end all I had available to me was the Mark Bass rig on the stand, I'm an SWR user so it wasn't the best for my bass or my sound. Tried running it through my Miller preamp but the Mark Bass took away the warmth. Tried playing 'Let's Work' (Prince) and 'Power' (Miller) but it just didn't cut through all the other stuff. Tried some percussive slap and it cut through. By the time you came along I was a bit random with what I was playing which is strange for me as I like to keep the "1 in the pocket". What I wanted from the day was to meet other bass players and have a chat and jam. I have suggested to Jon that maybe we should borrow a JamHub for next year (with headphones) so at least you could check out the basses without most of the interference, and we could have a decent jam. If I was to visit with a view to trying out a bass, knowing what the days are like, I would probably take my Korg Pandora along and some in ears headphones. Well I've joined the basschat community now so it would be great to meet up next year. Hannah. PS! Stevie Williams is a great player and have you heard of a guy called Doug Johns?
