  2. [quote name='geilerbass' post='547279' date='Jul 22 2009, 08:23 AM']One of my teachers at college, Terry Gregory, also played in this style - left-handed and upside down. It really was a sight to behold and so impressive that he was able to make exactly the same sounds as someone slapping with their thumb, rather than index finger. I believe he took a lot of influence from Jimmy Haslip, having a similar approach.[/quote] He's one of my teachers too, I've always been amazed at how he plays.

  4. I've got the Jaydee, had it since May. Beeps is a really nice guy to deal with.
  5. Like this [url="http://www.bassdirect.co.uk/bass_guitar_specialists/Gig_Skinz_Gig_Bags.html"]http://www.bassdirect.co.uk/bass_guitar_sp...z_Gig_Bags.html[/url] Excellent condition - £40 including postage.
  6. Mmm, again. Excellent condition. £500 or trade for an Aguilar GS410.
  7. I think ERB's are cool. I pretty much only use my 6 string bass. I even used it on a gig with a trad jazz band last night.
  8. E to F would make more sense, kind of like the tuning on the top 6 strings of a 7 string bass missing out the low B . I think overwater do a 7 string set. Or check out this site [url="http://www.extendedrangebassist.com/"]http://www.extendedrangebassist.com/[/url] There's a wealth of information on there. This site has a lot of 4 string bass weilding fuddy duddies who find any sort of ERB an anathema.
  9. This is more of a 'feeler', I really like this so I may keep it for studio use. The new TD-100 instrument preamp and tube direct box from Summit Audio features a hybrid signal path utilizing both a discrete solid state output device and a 12AX7A/ECC83 vacuum tube to give your musical instruments the clarity of class A sound with the richness and warmth of vacuum tubes all in a half-rack space. Perfect for both live and studio use, the TD- 100 offers both XLR microphone level and TRS line level outputs, plus variable input impedance, polarity switch and ground lift, signal and overdrive LEDs, and even a headphone output for use as a practice device. All with the quality that says Summit Audio. £150 plus postage.
  10. [quote name='BassBod' post='527191' date='Jun 28 2009, 10:41 PM']Thats strange - I used to put a JD Supernatural in a standard Hiscox, even sent it off in one when I sold it. It was a pretty "snug" fit though. There is also a larger Hiscox, for those bigger basses...but I've never seen one.[/quote] Strange and annoying, I bought it specifically for the JD.
  11. [quote name='Kingbassist' post='527033' date='Jun 28 2009, 08:28 PM']Ah cool, do you think I could fit my 35" scale Jazz bass in a Mono case?[/quote] Oh yes, with room to spare. I've tried my Modulus, Sei and Jaydee in it and they all fit. My Jaydee is the most awkward, it's actually very long and very wide.
  12. I bought a Hiscox case for my Jaydee, unforunately it didn't fit in.
  13. I just bought a Mono bag yesterday. It's probably the best that I've come across, a bit expensive maybe but so were my basses.

  15. I just ordered a Low B2, they recommended Fedex, the whole price including shipping, polyswitch option and a $20 intenational charge comes to $720 or about £450.
  16. [quote name='51m0n' post='519684' date='Jun 20 2009, 10:55 PM']WOW, when where??? I really really cant say how much I want to see him live![/quote] Here's an excerpt from an email I got yesterday. Friday, October 2 Sligo, IRELAND To be announced solo workshop and performance Saturday, October 3 Ards Guitar Festival NORTHERN IRELAND [url="http://www.ardsguitarfestival.co.uk/"]http://www.ardsguitarfestival.co.uk/[/url]
  17. [quote name='Zach' post='519679' date='Jun 20 2009, 10:51 PM']I'd quite like to hear any stuff he's done with other people, either as lead or support. As brilliant as I think his music is, I'm aware that only bassists listen to bassists (did that make sense?), so would like to hear any group stuff he's done.[/quote] He's been a sideman on dozens of albums, covering pretty much every genre. Check out Equilibre by David Cullen for some beautiful 'supportive' fretless playing and 'The idiot king' by Attention defict for some mad band playing. 'Yo Miles' is another cool album with Henry Kaiser.
  18. He's the most amazing player ever as far as I'm concerned. He's also coming to the UK later in the year, well Northern Ireland and Sligo in Eire.
