[quote name='dood' post='1172661' date='Mar 23 2011, 02:42 AM']Excellent! Fankx FH. I have been thinking about grabbing a Q3HD - though it's not too high on the priority list at the moment - it's great to see it in action![/quote]

Hi Dood, I can not speak highly enough of the Zoom.
I Recorded a couple of tunes at the Buskers that I go along too. It was nearly pitch black on the stage area and the volume was quite loud. Although this does not seem apparent on the vid.
No bass gymnastics going on,, just a couple of simple tunes .

[quote name='geoffbassist' post='1171741' date='Mar 22 2011, 01:42 PM']Hi Mark. Sorry I ment that my playing was out of tune up top. Yours sounded great. I love the chords you play at the start.
Cheers Geoff[/quote]

Thanks Geoff, The chord thing is just a Stanley, Mark King, Jaco rip off. You yourself, have something completely original going on
Best regards, Mark

BTW for any of the bass chatters looking on this thread.
There are some great video contributions here from members I don’t really see posting in other topics very often.
I would love to see the main regular members who advise us on amp and bass guitar tone, contribute some videos.
I am a simple bloke. I will take advice and criticism of anyone if I think I can improve upon it.
The same comes to bass and amp selection. Some members give a great deal of opinions expertise and advice on "This bass and that amp etc”
Where possible I always trust my ears rather than my eyes when it comes to gear choice
I really would enjoy any new videos that the members have to offer.
Best regards, Mark

[quote name='geoffbassist' post='1171178' date='Mar 22 2011, 01:53 AM']Thanks a lot wombatboter and funkyhobbit! It's a bit out of tune up top but it often is :-)

...I enjoyed your playing funkyhobbit. Great bass too![/quote]

Thanks for your kind words, yea your right about being out of tune. The open string major 3rd chord things i was trying did sound out. I will have to check the intonation.
Best regards, Mark

Speaking of cows farting,,,,, here is a vid I did yesterday whilst trying out my new Zoom Q3HD

[quote name='wombatboter' post='1170609' date='Mar 21 2011, 06:14 PM']I always feel respect for that hard work upright bassplayers have... on electric it's just a lot easier.
Nice thing which you have going and I love the feel and your timing, great ..[/quote]


Yup that there is the real deal. Every time I try an upright it sounds like cow farting

I used to have a couple of those Bag End Q10BX-D 410,s a couple of years back. The best Hifi sounding cab on the market but at over 100lbs in weight!!!! back breakers.
BTW if there are any BC,ers from the North East going I,ll be on the 6.00am train out of Newcastle Central Station on Saturday Morning.
If anyone wants to hook up, give me a ring on my business mobile 07970348377.

My Ibanez seems to do the job ok. Sits well at gigs too.

Here I have a short youtube clip of me n my bass. Pre amp flat with no FX and new strings.

I was lucky enough to see him with Bela Fleck in Glasgow a couple of years ago.
Blown away by his melodic supportive finger style bass playing. Every bit awesome as his slap playing.
He truly is an amazing musician of many facets.

Advise anyone to get a hold of the DVD " Bela Fleck live at the Quick"

A good friend and fantastic musician/bass player once said to me:
"Be mindfull of where your notes stop/ give the notes their proper value".

I used to play everything on the back p/u Bap bap. After his wise words i started on the path of getting a great feel and being a more supportive bass player.

Here is a one of me having a laugh with my mate in his bedroom studio

wish I still had the Spector

[quote name='The Bass Doc' post='468383' date='Apr 21 2009, 04:43 PM']Yeah... kinda reminiscient of funkyhobbit and friend at NE bash....no?[/quote]

Naa, Vic and Steve are sh*te,,,,, me and my scotch pall are n,t that good

Had a chance to play this bass today when I was sorting the deal out on my Jazz with Warwickhunt.
I gigged a USA NS2 for alot of years as my main bass. I have to say that this bass is as close as I have heard to a good USA one.
It is well set up with little to no frett wear. Nice sustain and a great example of a Czech Spector.
Anyone who fancys it dont miss out on a great bargain.

Regards,Mark

Thanks for all the equirys the bass is now sold to Warwickhunt. Thanks John for the smooth deal.

Regards,Mark

[quote name='mntl73' post='458103' date='Apr 9 2009, 02:08 PM']pictures my friend..respecting your words..but we want to see the beauty:)[/quote]

Please check your settings. the pics have been available to view from the outset.
Regards,Mark

Thanks for all the kind words, I do have one firm offer whos asked me to put it on hold, he,s off to get a hacksaw to reduce the body size

Up for sale is my Squire Jazz.
I bought this from “Marcus” here on basschat a few weeks ago.
I have tried a couple of times to get into Jazz basses (had a nice FMT from Richardd last year) but they are not my thing.
I think that this model is a 62 RI. The bass has the narrow neck profile, skinny frets and brass bridge saddles.
It is in A1 almost new condition the fit and finish is fantastic also. No dings or damage is visible anywhere on the bass.

The tone of the bass is fantastic considering it is made in China. The reason I bought the bass was on tone and playability alone, and had nothing to do with what it said on the headstock.
The tone of the bass is so good that “Marcus” invested some money in the bass by having or own “Bass Doc” retrofit a brand new set of Active EMG, s and check/set the neck. The E and A strings produce a nice chorus sounding “Dong” when slapped and the D and G strings have a nice transparency that you would find on Jazz basses three or four times the price. Sorry no case included but it does come fitted with a fresh set of DR 40-100 Fat beams.

A Gem of a cheapy bass that would pass for a good sounding USA jazz.

I think it is fairly priced to you all at £200.00. No reductions or trades.

I would like cash on collection from someone local to the North East or someone who is prepared to travel.

Here are a few pics, please PM me if you have any interest.

Regards, Mark

Hey ho fella, how ya feeling after the oP?

Did the aforementioned blue one, once belong to Dick Nolan from It Bites?

Weekend bump for Oliver and a class bit of Kit

[quote name='far0n' post='423012' date='Mar 2 2009, 04:16 PM']Cracking day, I've realised that Warwick's aren't so bad afterall. I'm also gonna get my Vigier electronically tagged, 'cos Funkyhobbit liked it that much I feel he may try to swipe it. [/quote]

Ha ha ,, I was tempted to bash you on the heed and then be on my toes with your Vigier but Marcus,s Bass Doc made Jazz bass gave me a twinge too. I think If I attempted to bash Marcus on the heed he might have knocked me into the ground like a grey haired tent peg,, LOL!!
