Having previously owned a Cornford Harlequin if I had £425 I'd buy a Roadhouse 30 without even trying it ! The Fender blues jr s great. Our Guitard has a small Vox Night train which is good too.

Happy New Year to all Anyone have or know of a good tab for Haitian Divorce ?
-
Yes I'm pretty sure that it is. and I think that Wilton Felder (Crusaders trumpet player) played bass on some of this album but not necessarily on this track. He also played the lovely part on Jackson 5's I want you back but I digress.

Very nice. It's a great song for bass isn't it ? I lovet Jaco's stuff on Hejira

Recommend me a good bass book for my holiday
lonestar replied to paul j h's topic in General Discussion
Jack bruce's or Tony visconti's Autobigraphy are both really good -
I've always taken 2 basses to gigs especially when I've had an active bass but never needed to swap for technical fault reasons I used to think that I was being silly until having only one bass at a rehearsal a couple of weeks ago the nut on my SX p bass just snapped off for no apparent reason on the 1st string. I managed to carry on with the bottom 3 strings but was really relieved that it wasn't at a gig.

[quote name='peteb' timestamp='1322928117' post='1457416'] I have unfortunately! Fripp is painted as rather a malevolent, unpleasant sort of a fellow and Bruford comes across as possibly the dullest man alive! [/quote] Yep that sounds a pretty good summing up of the book to me Pete. I always like the idea of listening to very avant garde, technically brilliant, out there music as practised by both of these two but when I listen to solo Fripp projects and Bill Bruford's later output I find myself asking what it is that people actually find to like in such "challenging" music. -

I'd suggest reading Bill Bruford's biography if you want the reall measure of 'The Owl" as Bill refers to him; not altogether affectionately. -
I have a Technics SXP30 piano http://www.harmonycentral.com/products/82589 which my daughter no longer uses having given up piano lessons and is gathering dust. Not sure what these go for s/h. We bought it from an old bandmate who had bought it for his daughter to learn on too. It's in excellent condition. I'm thinking around £275-300 including stand. Pickup or local delivery only as it's very heavy, having a nice weighted keyboard. i'm not a keyboard player but understand that these are very well thought of pro instruments. Mike

[quote name='Marvin' timestamp='1322252687' post='1448745'] It seems every time there is a 'is Basschat getting a bit dull' thread BBC gets mentioned, as if his return would breathe new life into the forum. It, he, wouldn't. He was just one contributor, that's it. There are others who no longer contribute, or can't contribute, whom I would much rather see return way ahead of BBC. I found BBC rather tedious and one dimensional in his contributions. Bored the arse of me his continual shitraking, to the point I didn't actually read his posts as they were so predictable. Basschat is described as a community, it takes more than one person to make a community. [/quote] what he said.

How do you measure string height ?
lonestar replied to essexbasscat's topic in Repairs and Technical
Hi Essex Basscat, I just use a 6" steel rule from the top of the fret to the underside of the string using Fender factory specs; works for me.
