Really good bass playing and a fantastic bass tone

No matter how much I learn I still feel like a fraud Still, it's all music! Congratulations on taking the next step and I hope you get to grips with it all.

My parents live near Spalding and aparently they are still reeling under the shock....!

Welcome aboard! Nice list......

I just got to watch this Fantastic! Your EP is still a favourite on my mp3 player. Can't wait for the full video.

Don't get me wrong, I am no perfectionist!!! It was just the ending has some octave bashing bars and it stood out whilst playing along To be honest, I only learned the main part (taught by another bassist) and repeated throughout I wanted to get the timing spot on for the gig and realised I was playing something different If it wasn't a Pink Floyd track, I wouldn't worry

Welcome aboard! I have only been playing bass for around 18 months (I'm 46). This is a great forum and full of positive vibes! Enjoy your playing and posting in the forum

I lived on a narrowboat in the early eighties in Tewksbury only had an acoustic guitar in those days. Good times (what I remember, it was a long time ago!) As for a short scale bass, I bought a Violin bass. Great for Beatles........ probably fit on a boat quite well Anyway, welcome and enjoy the forum.

I have been playing comfortably numb (on bass) for a while now Today, having a bit of spare time, I decided to brush up on it ready for a gig. Realised I have been playing the outro wrong since day one. Anyone else get that sort of face plant moment when brushing up on tunes? (or is it just me )

Really enjoyed the track. Voted for and liked

For a live recording, that is really good Nicely paced and the sort of thing I like to listen too.

Because I only play for fun (gigging in an acoustic duo IS fun!) I only need 4 strings. I have a 5 that I don't use. If I was more professional I would probably persivere, but hey ho Each to their own

[quote name='LukeFRC' timestamp='1317493011' post='1391298'] such an authoritative set of reviews no one has a thing to say! [/quote] Useful info I just read them and they will probably help some to try for themselves (or avoid!). I liked the Cort myself when I tried one but have gone for an active Squier.

I went to see my favourite pub covers band last night. I always use my ear plugs at rock venues. You could not hold a conversation as they are very loud. No one asks them to turn down as it is the type of venue that requires a loud band! They gave me one of their merchandise caps (frequent follower!) and dedicated 'Shine on you crazy diamond' to me Fantastic night and a great tight band. Just thought I would add this to the end of a long and somewhat meandering thread

Wow, fast paced and very energetic! Not my usual sort of music but I will always listen to others work. I was impressed by the technical ability of you both. Keep it up and thanks for posting

What does everyone mean by integrity in this thread? I am true to the music. If it is a loud song, play as loud as the venue dictates. Playing at a volume that is not required is not a lack of integrity, surely

or play a fretless....... and always be out of tune (or is that just me?)

I heard he tried to sell it on here, but no one ever buys anything on here............

[quote name='dave_bass5' timestamp='1317232307' post='1388494'] LOL. Thats just your opinion, which of course you are welcome to. Im happy doing what im doing. [/quote] Me Too +1000000000 I have never turned down a paying gig and don't intend to. If someone wants to pay me to play, I will take the money and give the best performance I can within their remit.

Nice to hear something new! Welcome aboard

As I am now middle aged (and technically so old I should be dead, according to my kids) I may apply. I can be the bassist in the coffin

That is a very well put together video. It captures the attention. The music is well balanced and the mix superb. Is that going to be / has it been released as a single? Really good to hear something that is not just the usual. (It reminds me of a track on Scott Pilgrim Vs the World!). Good stuff Blademan

Hi, I thought song 1 was a lot smoother and well rehearsed than song 5 (IMHO of course). The vocals on song 1 were well placed in the mix and it is a good tune. On the whole a great effort and you should go down well in a live setting. If I could, I would come down a watch you perform live

Surprisingly, if you are too good and hold the audiences attention, the pub also loses as people don't want to get up and get another pint!
