I'm not a big Queen fan but it's a fantastic bass part isn't it

[quote name='Delberthot' post='906733' date='Jul 27 2010, 09:59 AM']I forgot to add - the Frog Chorus? Silly Love Songs? Simply Having A wonderful Christmas Time? what utter sh*te.[/quote] Arguably so (you forgot to mention C Moon!) but great bassline on silly love songs

Used to be my local when we lived in Clarendon Drive mid to late '80s. Last gig I saw there was Wilko Johnson. Ah nostalgia isn't what it used to be... Hope you had a good gig there

Funktastic mate! Can't make it tonight but would like to come and see your band playing in a pub sometime

[quote name='Pete Academy' post='902324' date='Jul 22 2010, 08:33 PM']I think he's great but slightly overrated. Later stuff was very good.[/quote] Ah Wings! The band the Beatles could have been A. Partridge sorry just seen post above

[quote name='lonestar' post='831854' date='May 9 2010, 12:06 AM']Wow what a striking bass. I'd love to try one. I have a new set of Dingwall 6 string bass strings if anyone wants them ? I can't use them they're all weird and tapered. I acquired them with an Ebay purchase a while back. Cant remember the details off hand but I'll dig them out if anyone is interested[/quote] So does nobody want these strings then?

[quote name='Mr Fudge' post='830057' date='May 6 2010, 09:25 PM']I have my markbass SA450 flat. You can hear everything. Might give the mids a whirl though as ther are the extra ones? I wonder what they would do?[/quote] I find that I have everything pretty much flat (12o'clock) on my markbass combo and boosting the Low mid a little really cuts through. Haven't found much use for the high mid knob yet though

I'm sure that it will (party for friends of friends) but have a great day and well done for getting it all organised. I wish that I could have come along. Look forward to the after match reports and pics. Mike

This should get you started. [url="http://www.fender.com/support/bass_guitar_setup_guide.php"]http://www.fender.com/support/bass_guitar_setup_guide.php[/url]

I have a daytime gig on the 27th

There are loads off us in Essex, Welcome.

I use fingers mostly but when I use a pick I like 1mm tortex. Best ones were some that I bought at a music show once which had a star shaped hole in the middle. Brilliant grip in sweaty fingers. If anyone knows a source for these let me know as i don't have any left.

[quote name='AndyMartin' post='825817' date='May 2 2010, 07:36 PM']That's the bit. Actually quite simple but made to sound more complicated by 'nard's tricky style[/quote] and if you can fit an open low E before the D you'll get it

You really need Stuart Clayton's excellent book: [url="http://www.basslinepublishing.com/tab/nile-rodgers-and-bernard-edwards-funk-and-disco-grooves.html"]http://www.basslinepublishing.com/tab/nile...co-grooves.html[/url] It's all in there. As he's a member here I wouldn't feel comfortable copying the tab (and presumably infringing his copyright?) for you but its basically a run of notes over an A7 scale then an octave thingy over Em7 and D9. +1 for Marlowe DK too but buy the book! Hope this helps

I use Musicguard as they also include Public liability insuarance. Do Endsleigh, Allianz or any others? I need to renew my policy, currently £69 for £2k of gear and 1 million Public Liability which seems reasonable.

Nice idea but I was born in 1962 so it'd probably have to be a Jap reissue for me. That looks very nice but the metal work looks very new

[quote name='martthebass' post='796082' date='Apr 4 2010, 10:21 PM']Dance the night away...........yes I really do have to play it...........honest.[/quote] I've had to cringe my way through that too in a past depping job. I have a "worm sandwich list". ie I'd rather eat one than play again... All of the above with mustang Sally, Stuck in The Middle and Brown Eyed Girl right up there. Now Hi Ho Silver Lining and Alright Now fall in to an even worse category. They're in the "I'd rather set my hair on fire and beat it out with a shovel" list. Alternatively I'd leave the band before playing either of those. What's the problem with Boston Rag Pete? Seen you do it at The Jazz Cafe a while back. It didn't show.

I have a guitar and bass tab for this from Gui***ist magazine from a way back. There are about 12 pages of it though! Do you have access to a fax machine I could send you the key pages. PM me your number. It may work I don't have a scanner. It's a very, perhaps overly, busy bassline but pretty straightforward. Mike

Sack him.

Just bought some tomtom maps from Tredders. Very helpful,especially with product info, speedy dispatch and a very nice guy to deal with. thanks mike

I'd rather go to a bassbash

[quote name='yorick' post='750974' date='Feb 19 2010, 03:17 PM']Otptimism is a wonderful concept...............[/quote] I'm afraid that i didn't even get to the prices; the picture of the guitard in the armchair on the home page was enough to send me straight back to the weather channel page. £100? not bl**dy likely!
