I'm on a similar quest, playing in a band that does a couple of Genesis numbers that - in their original form - have those long pedal (in the music theory sense) notes. So far I'm using an EBS MultiComp into a Boss OC-2 and playing an octave higher. This is well on the way, but the drawbacks are the lack of tone shaping of the synthy tone (I could add an EQ after the OC-2), and the fact I'm looking for the one-bass solution (as in another active thread, although not started by me!). The issue is that my one bass is fretless, and it just doesn't have as much sustain as my fretted bass, so certain notes break up. I considered the 25-key keyboard approach, but that would mean... more gear! At the moment I can do a one-journey load/unload and I'd like to keep it that way. I'm curious about the Moogy and Mutrony pedals - can't their boingy/squelchy-ness be tamed?

Not too keen on YouTube and recording myself on video. [/quote] You don't need to record yourself on video to put the music on YouTube - you can just put the music against a still image, or even just a blank title page.

Was he playing Mustang Sally?

I hope he didn't scratch his fender.

[quote name='bonzodog' timestamp='1430844800' post='2765133'] I wonder if he was playing near the bridge? I'll get my coat [/quote] Well if coats are to be gotten... What pedals was he using? Were there pick-ups front and rear?

So which bass is best for driving?

[quote name='PauBass' timestamp='1430838156' post='2765052'] Yes, these are known songs from various artist (Bruno Mars, Chic, The Clash, Stevie Wonder, Lenny Kravitz, Jamiroquai....) where I have overlayed the bass on the original song. [/quote] That's probably the issue - there are loads of "original" covers on SoundCloud, if you know what I mean.

Are these covers where you overlay your bass part on the original, or completely new recordings? The only track I've had taken down was a private one (!) where I'd downloaded some stems for a remix competition, and uploaded my rough-mix of the raw tracks as a reference. I expect there's some sort of clever title-plus-audio-fingerprinting going on there somewhere. See also this thread: http://basschat.co.uk/topic/261419-cover-versions-do-you-ask-permission/ !

Madonna's "Like a Virgin" was inspired by the songwriter's first fumblings with a rangefinder camera.

[quote name='spacey' timestamp='1430812142' post='2764670'] PRS LOST the court case to force live covers bands to be covered by PRS as they are emulating not recording. They made great effort to hide this and do threaten landlords who put bands on. The two issues of recording songs and covering them in a band are miles apart legally and should not be on the same page. Where they catch people out is playing recorded music between sets. Th [/quote] That doesn't sound right: are you confusing PRS with MCPS and/or PPL? PRS collects royalties due to the composer, usually paid via a publisher. So if I publicly perform an Ed Sheeran song which Ed has recorded on his album, Ed the writer is due royalies, but nothing is due to Ed the performer or his record company. If Ed's own version is played on the jukebox, that's a different matter: Ed the writer is still due royalties as the writer, but this time his recording company are due MCPS royalites as the owner of the recording, and Ed the performer who played on the record is due PPL royalties.

We've had quite a run of them recently, haven't we? Approaching the chicken, polishing (was it polishing) the pilchard, humping Shell's combo...

My latest offering. With the exception of the drums, all done in my spare bedroom :-) http://soundcloud.com/richardsearle/you-took-my-heart (Is there a way to embed the SoundCloud player?)

[quote name='ubit' timestamp='1430546220' post='2762429'] Outstanding in their field? [/quote] When they're not hogging the limelight...

[quote name='JTUK' timestamp='1430506712' post='2762206'] I wouldn't be in a band that didn't have very good vocals... Fortunately, my new project has 2 very good ones, outstanding even.. [/quote] [media]http://youtu.be/v1-YOmaAbZE[/media]

Not paranoid, just sceptical...

[quote name='Stylon Pilson' timestamp='1430489424' post='2761972'] Ah yes, because now Grooveshark is gone, all the people that were listening to music for free will suddenly repent their sinful ways and start paying for music instead. Meanwhile, record company executives across the globe are thinking "hmmm, it's a bit unfair that I've got multiple houses in various countries, and all these Bentleys and Lamborghinis, while my artists get a pitiful slice of the pie. I'm turning over a new leaf!" Hooray, everything is awesome! S.P. [/quote] Something like that

[quote name='Stylon Pilson' timestamp='1430488560' post='2761959'] I wouldn't have thought it would have much effect on content creators. S.P. [/quote] One less company taking their product without paying for it...

A good day for content creators!

Lovely... the little brother of my beloved white 425
