Hobbayne

Just gonna bump this. Come along to here the first ever medley featuring We Will Rock You, Smoke on the Water and Rappers Delight!!

I quite like it! Its based on the Fender Strat that Eric Clapton used on the George Harrison tribute concert. Although I dont agree it should be done on a 40 year old peice of history, but maybe on a newer less nostalgic model.

[quote name='Lozz196' timestamp='1399015831' post='2439897'] I love the playability and the sounds of a Stingray, but unfortunately for me I only like those sounds when someone else is making them, they just don`t sound "me". But really great basses, and far more versatile than given credit for. Most think of Flea type sounds, whereas there is always Bernard Edwards to consider. [/quote] Agree. I always fancied a Stingray, and a few years ago I got one. Played it with my band but the sound didnt suit it. I gave it a few more outings before I moved it on and went back to my trusty Fender Precision.

[quote name='Hobbayne' timestamp='1393498876' post='2380977'] One from the archives here, 1987 I think. A fresh faced 21 year old at the old Red Lion in Brentford. I think its a 1983 JV P bass I had it reprayed from Fiesta Red to CAR By Dave Simms in Ealing, and fitted a black pguard. [/quote] And fast forward 25 years. A little older, A little wider but no wiser.

[quote name='paulbass' timestamp='1398558331' post='2435332'] he has a top bassist! [/quote] Is that Gary Day?

No gig on earth is worth more than mine or my families health.

[quote name='Billy Apple' timestamp='1398595571' post='2435540'] It's not MJP if that's what you're thinking [/quote] Or MDP which I believe you were alluding

How much do these retail for? I,m just down the road from Northolt and may put a bid on it (Unless someone tells them the real value of it)

Hmmm, I have reason to believe that you are not a real bear! But if you are can you give Winnie the pooh my regards?

Paul has been really adamant there will be NO Jam reuinion. I thought that time would heal any old wounds but Buckler still is rather miffed at him to put it mildly!

Times Like These. Theres a little bass fill on the original version but I,m to much of a coward to do it! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t932MnacxTs

Thats bloody good bass! Much better than I could do!!

The Beatles Let It Be single version was mixed by George Martin while the album version was done by Phil spector. Spectors version featured a different guitar solo by George Harrison, a brass section and was nearly a minute longer, although they both derive from the same 8 track tape, spector mixed them higher and edited a repeat chorus to extend the running time.

From the long defunct Tube telly show on channel 4. The Jam covering Curtis Mayfield's Move On Up. I dont think they ever recorded it. Note Foxton on an Aria Pro II bass [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qbGpZjIOXJY[/media]

If it aint broke, dont fix it!

Have you tried a heavier gauge of strings? The very light gauges can be very clickity clackity when hit hard.

From the same gig as above. Playing my bitsa P bass with chrome covers. Sorry about the quality, Iphone footage, I wasnt aware that it was being filmed. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ryluWVtEJg8

An evening of classic rock with my new band, Come and say hello if your local Saturday 3rd May. [url="http://www.lemonrock.com/gig.php?id=341557"]http://www.lemonrock...g.php?id=341557[/url]

[quote name='Phil Adams' timestamp='1396865510' post='2418017'] I thought 3/3 was waltz time. See, I never said I know my time signatures. [/quote] 3/4 is waltz time. [u][b]One[/b][/u] 23, [u][b]Two [/b][/u]23 etc.

Good Morning Good Morning on The Beatles Sgt Pepper album has 5/4 and 4/4 in the verses. I had never noticed that until I sat down and counted along to the song. Lennon had a knack of odd time signatures.

Major, minor, pentatonic and blues scales is all I know. It got me through 30 years of playing. I cant be doing with them mixolydianphrygian malarkys!

If someone buys it and syncs it to itunes the very rare game will be lost!!
