The AIM would be my first port of call: http://www.musicindie.com/home

[quote name='BassTractor' timestamp='1465460718' post='3068339'] For dramatic effect, and to make this sentence better literature, just ditch the word "and", and use a semicolon instead: [i]In terms of songwriting balance, Andy Partridge was Lennon/McCartney; Semicolon Moulding was Harrison![/i] [i] [/i] Great notion! ...as in: I liked it. [/quote] Oops... I'll leave my post unedited for, er, posteriority. (Isn't colon moulding an alternative therapy beloved by the likes of Gwyneth Galtrow?)

[quote name='NancyJohnson' timestamp='1465454332' post='3068279'] I was watching the Rockpalast show on YouTube last night...suprised to see how many of my preferred tracks were sung by Colin Moulding. [/quote] In terms of songwriting balance, Andy Partridge was Lennon/McCartney and Colon Moulding was Harrison!

Lots of keys? JS Bach catered for 24...

[quote name='highwayman' timestamp='1465152527' post='3065659'] ...and coming from the guitar it feels natural... [/quote] Perhaps that's part of it: there's an attitude among [b][i]some[/i][/b] guitarists that playing bass is something any guitarist could do, so to counter this [b][i]some[/i][/b] bass players want to emphasise that "real" bass playing isn't like that!

+1 for the Rode NT-1A (condenser) and SM57 (dynamic) as good all-rounders.

[quote name='ahpook' timestamp='1464945647' post='3063940'] Is it any good for 'Meddle' ? [/quote]

Yup: http://basschat.co.uk/topic/285763-jazz-bass-tone-settings/page__view__findpost__p__3061075

Yes! I sold my fretted/fretless pair of Wals at the start of a long sabbatical from playing . Now - after joining Basschat about five years ago and contracting [b]that [/b]much-discussed ailment - I'm back to the total of too-many. Ideally I'd get it down to three - fretted-with-flats. fretted-with-rounds, and fretless, but the pesky question of four or five strings keeps the total up...

[quote name='Wonky2' timestamp='1464631123' post='3060996'] Id agree, rolling iff the beck pup vol just a tad opens up a whole different sound. To my ear it sounds fuller than wide open ??? [/quote] Some clever person will be along shortly to explain... something to do with capacitance, or resistance, or something like that...

Mine's a G&L JB-2 - so it's a Jazz improved :-). I find everything-on-full is inferior to having one of the vols rolled back just a little.

[quote name='gelfin' timestamp='1464557306' post='3060357'] Ha now I've edited it so that people won't understand your comment. Ah well back to " Name that tune" [/quote] Unless you also change the picture to something that looks like an owl, my comment still makes sense!

[quote name='gelfin' timestamp='1464439759' post='3059479'] When I stuck a replacement Jazz neck on a P body I made my owl decal. [/quote] That looks nothing like an owl!

I bought a pair of these https://new.andertons.co.uk/p/SMOS10/speaker-stands-accessories/stagg-smos-10-studio-monitor-stand-each with my monitors (Eris E5s), largely out of expediency, as otherwise I wouldn't have anywhere to put the speakers!

[quote name='RhysP' timestamp='1464262442' post='3057986'] Such a shame this isn't closer to me. [/quote] It would be quite a.... Journey

[quote name='SpondonBassed' timestamp='1464155887' post='3056919'] I've been reading up the guardian's blurb associated with that name. I won't comment other than to say I would question her nationality before questioning her sexuality. Of course, I am doing neither, you brought the name up. [/quote] Eh? She's conducting the performance - what have her nationality or sexuality have to do with it?

[quote name='TheGreek' timestamp='1464102157' post='3056566'] http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kT09wbZ6eqs [/quote] "I wanna rim shot" is a lot easier to sing than "I wanna cross-stick" :-)

[quote name='SpondonBassed' timestamp='1464099022' post='3056535'] Come again? [/quote] And make sure you do it in time with [color=#333333][font=Arial, Helvetica, freesans, sans-serif][size=3]Marin Alsop.[/size][/font][/color]

Fun! Until I saw that there's a part for Bagpipes (in A)....

[quote name='icastle' timestamp='1464020528' post='3055816'] One thing is for certain though, the only content we have on the Basschat servers is Basschat stuff - we don't have a part time job selling viagra, holiday shares or sexual services (sorry Discreet ). [/quote] Less viagra, fewer popups. BTW, is it VIE-agra, or VEE-agra? (Asking for a friend.)

[quote name='Lw.' timestamp='1464020071' post='3055806'] You book gigs two years in advance?! [/quote] Maybe he's talking about the Women's World Cup, in, er.... three years!

Has anyone suggested rolling off the treble yet?

[quote name='Happy Jack' timestamp='1463660298' post='3053158'] My baby, she wrote me a latter. [/quote] Was it a pro-former latter?

If prog now was like prog was in the 70s, it wouldn't have progressed, would it?
