Theres an old Pat Boone song from the 50,s called Wonderful Time Up There, where the tune follows a walking bassline, root, third fifth etc. I learned from that to pick out intervals by ear.

Cheers for that, I,ll have a butchers.

I am looking at getting some tuners for a 1999 Squier P Bass which I am doing up. I have already replaced the pickups with an SD PB1 and am looking for some vintage style elephant ear tuners. What would you recommend? I guess I may have to re drill the headstock to accommadate them?

I dont why he,s got that drum machine going. He is not taking a blind bit of notice of any rhythm

I would just make a clean break and let them start again from scratch if it were me.

Without Lennon to help him, Macca has turned out (In my opinion) a lot of crap since the demise of the band that that could have been as good as Wings. Apart from Band on The Run and Maybe I,m Amazed, its been dire. This is not as bad as the frog song, but not for me

I find this sort of thing a bit old hat really. A bit like matching shirts and ties on cabaret bands.

And I actually wanted one!

[quote name='neepheid' timestamp='1377426217' post='2187276'] I don't think that's fair. I read it as the experience having torpedoed a hole in the concept of the so-called "community", it wasn't made personal, it wasn't said that everyone on here is a lying, cheating scumbag. I think that your comment is out of line and an unnecessary dig. [/quote] Yes, its a bit below the belt mate.

IMHO opinion people are entitled to ask what they want for their gear, and we are entitled to pay what we want for their gear. If it seems to be too pricey we dont have to buy it! I have my eye on something for sale here but I think its overpriced. The seller has gradually decreased the price over a period of time and when the price is right, I will step in.

Well, all the guys who played are all in local bands doing the same circuit as us. On some occasions I have even depped for them so I know them well enough to know that they will respect my gear. Funnily enough, one of the bassists asked to use my bitsa because it played better than his old 76 P bass

Our Singers family held a party last night for his birthday, and invited local musicans to come and play and jam. Our band played for half an hour and let the others come and play. I brought along my bitsa Precision and an old Warwick combo and let them use that while I disappeared to the bar. I must confess it sounded quite good. Does anyone object to others using your gear?

Six Bells in Brentford? I have just driven past that pub barely an hour ago!

I have always played a Fender Precision. I have never had the inclination to play with anything else. The P Bass does everything I want it to do, and what it cant do I have no interest in. I did have a bit of a flirt with a Stingray, didnt like it and got shot of it!!

It must go somewhere. Moondance is frowned upon on this forum because it doesnt go anywhere, Where as All My Loving is a great walking line to learn from.
