[quote name='urb' post='1302552' date='Jul 13 2011, 04:18 PM']As I mentioned earlier I'd be happy to give a demo - either in small group or to the whole Bash if my embarrassment levels will tolerate it - explaining some slap and picking techniques that get away from relentless machine gun triplets and always riffing away in open E or A when slapping... I'd be happy to have a few others plugging in as well to enable them to learn or share any of the techniques discussed/demonstrated... Let me know if any of y'all is interested - we can always use one of the off-shoot performance rooms to do this in Cheers Mike[/quote] Yes I'd certainly be up for that......as I can't slap at all - we'll I've never even tried properly to be honest Thanks Mike. Angie

Me too. Angie

Brilliant Sam - Congratulations! Really pleased for you Angie

Bless! As soon as he's old enough to hold a Bronco Bass that's it! Angie

Great stuff! Haven't listened to Chaka with Rufus for years - forgoten how good she was/is!.......timeless soul! Angie

[quote name='rOB' post='1286050' date='Jun 29 2011, 08:38 AM']Haven't ever tried. I'd love to give it a go though.[/quote] +1....I plan to buy an 'entry-level' second hand fretless in the coming months to give it a go & see how I get on. Angie

Not me I'm afraid....I'm very envious of those who can. I think I have an ok backing voice but have tried many times over the years to sing & play.....just can't do it. I think it's because I concentrate so much (too much?) on the bassline & drums.....I can't do two things at once! Angie

Nice.....infact I've been looking at buying a VM Jazz '77 myself......with the white/pearl scratch plate you've convinced me! How are you finding it? Have you gigged with it? Angie

[quote name='nig' post='1266728' date='Jun 12 2011, 10:25 PM']Best set ive seen for an age :-)[/quote] +1....it's a cracker! If only I lived in Kent......I'd certainly give Darren/Richard a call..... Angie

Westone Thunder 1 in light oak. Lovely to play although the PUPs weren't great. Brought it in '92 for £50 from a guy in a Country & Western band.....fair amount of buckle rash! Wished I had kept it......... Angie

Well after saying that I'd like to give it a whirl I've done a bit of investigating at my local church, Holy Trinity in Sunningdale. They have a few groups as far as I can tell & I've been invited along to a rehearsal tomorrow evening I'm nervous now..... Angie

I'm a Christian but have never played Christian music. I have thought about venturing into it for a while now, Hillsong stuff & the like.......I'd like to give it a whirl. Angie

Just had my copy drop through the door..........on page 63 is indeed Dood. Will have a good read through this evening. Angie

[quote name='megallica' post='1235779' date='May 18 2011, 02:49 PM']Found this, I don't know the Meddle album to know if this is accurate or not.

Found this on Ultimate Guitar: [url="http://tabs.ultimate-guitar.com/p/pink_floyd/fearless_tab.htm"]http://tabs.ultimate-guitar.com/p/pink_flo...earless_tab.htm[/url] It's for guitar but it gives you the chords.......can't seem to find a bass tab....... Angie

I participated in a BOTB back in '95.....we got to the final & came second. Do I think it was because the winning band had more family & friends there? Oh yes! Our prize for being second was to record a 4 track demo (still have the cassette somewhere) which although sounded awful IMHO was a great learning curve as at that point I'd never been in a studio before..... Yes it's good business for the promoter, but I personally wouldn't do it again. A 'local band' evening yes but a 'battle' of bands no - I'd find it demoralising, but that's just my view. Angie

Spotify while I work........currently James Brown - 'Stone to the Bone'. Angie
