[quote name='col.decker' timestamp='1368296645' post='2075459'] cheers y'all. so far in my 2 days of bassing I've learnt of the great divide betwixt traditional and modern basses. Who'd of thunk it? I went modern with an Ibby SR700. I likes it I does. [/quote] dont worry ... you'll soon want to get a J

[quote name='norvegicusbass' timestamp='1368191277' post='2074291'] I am just not quick enough to release it and use the pad again to play the seventh and hammer on to the octave so I kind of bar it instead [/quote] this is the issue that seems to be the main problem so why not specifically address this issue if you are trying to release and move a finger to next position and its getting there audibly late you need to concentrate on your thinking time concentrate a couple of notes before the rogue note and then make a concious effort to move it a fraction sooner thus making sure it arrives where it should right on the beat - its a combination of the thinking time and the physical reaction time and more practice will improve your playing overall in this respect - or you could just carry on doing it the lazy way (because it sounds ok) and continue enjoying the torment of your own frustration

ASAM was a favourite of the caroline dj's back then

[quote name='fumps' timestamp='1368175711' post='2074003'] Its always baffling when people cover songs & dont learn the original. [/quote] snot baffling at all we'll put our own flavour to this one usually means[b] [i]i/we havent got skill/patience to learn/play/rehearse it faithful to original [/i][/b]

[quote name='Mr Fretbuzz' timestamp='1368116516' post='2073440'] he guitarist wants to play it his way and refuses to listen to the recordings. Fine but he hasn't told me what his way is and we've only had 2 garage practices in 8 months. [/quote] sounds like you need a new guitarist as well maybe youll get lucky and get a singer turn up who says 'oh by the way i play guitar as well'

plain uncluttered background in the video would be better too imho if you have to use a domestic interior backdrop make sure it isnt full of loads of tiny little details that will distract people edit - synchronystic posting going on here

[quote name='Telebass' timestamp='1368083933' post='2072870'] This. In any case, bin the link and go wireless. [/quote] what ? and lose all my subtle analogue nuances!!

[quote name='xilddx' timestamp='1368033427' post='2072344'] The best example is at 4:26 on the video, it's just a little connecting run that sounds so lovely and liquid and effortless. He does it slightly differently each time and it's things like that which set apart the really great nuanced players from the plodders and imitators. It's a bitch to get even close to sounding good, I emailed him about it but got no reply of course [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iN4m4v06e_s[/media] [/quote] its one of those licks that goes down in steps whilst going up at the same time - if the muse is with me i might fiddle with it later and post the tab once im finished fiddling and widdling

[quote name='xilddx' timestamp='1367963326' post='2071797'] Awesome! I wish I could find Tempus Fugit isolated. There's a fabulous bit in there that I can't work out how he executed. Very weird. [/quote] which bit ?

its all part of the BASSCHAT >>> PRATTCHAT syndrome it will pass in a few days

may i suggest a kiwi v douggie bass-off at the next big bass bash for charity of course

[quote name='bassman7755' timestamp='1367678604' post='2068314'] According to wikipedia ... " the persistent legend that the entire album was recorded in one pass is untrue" [/quote] there are some great masterpieces done in one pass as direct to disc masters where the recording has to be done in one continuous pass with no pauses and no correcting mistakes afterwards - [b][url="http://jazztimes.com/articles/15246-the-piano-herbie-hancock"]Herbie Hancock's 'Piano'[/url][/b] is (apparently not) a fine example of this edit - interesting article [url="http://www.auldworks.com/AESDD/dd1.htm"]http://www.auldworks.com/AESDD/dd1.htm[/url] editedit - and here's one for [b]JTUK[/b] .....

[quote name='douggie' timestamp='1367834147' post='2069875'] Hi All Just wanted to drop a line to say I do like popping in here and generally have the cockles of my heart warmed by the kind and respectful things most people have to say to and about me, which is why I'm generally glad to answer questions and give advice, (Usually just on what gear for what song for your Floyd tribute band, so, easily done..) By and large we bass players are a lovely lot. it would be ridiculous to expect there not to be folk who don't like me, and I often respect the opinions expressed, (even I don't like me sometimes..)Although, I would say to anyone who thinks that they're being witty by using my surname as an insult against me, you're really not. I think I was well within my rights to kick off at having my actual character questioned to the point of slander though (And by a moderator..Oh the irony....) But onwards and upwards, all water under the bridge. Cheers Guy [/quote] you could write a song out of it ? !

another noob

did you catch joe walsh and the other one were interviewed on simon mayo on radio 2 one evening last week? are they about to do some gigs somewhere soon?

went rather well - probably one of the more bizarre and quirky venues you will find - very good host and good crowd - thoroughly recommend [url="http://bloomsburysbiddenden.com/"]http://bloomsburysbiddenden.com/[/url]

[quote name='Roland Rock' timestamp='1367682283' post='2068372'] I used to get sweaty hands a lot on stage, but as time went on, it happened less and less. I've concluded that it may be a symptom of nervousness, as I don't get nearly as nervous on stage these days. [/quote] possibly this - we had a great gig last night - drummer was gibbering in a pool of sweat in the corner - me, i wasnt even sweating, no slimey hands no stinky armpits, nothing!! unfortunately if Roland's theory is correct he might have to wait another 32 years

[quote name='lurksalot' timestamp='1365250675' post='2037188'] I have been known to wear the odd loud shirt or 2 but have really gone overboard and bought a Sh1teShirt , boy is it offensively loud , it might even drown out the PA [/quote] funny enough i was just looking at their website to order one for gigs tonight i will be taking two shirts with me - black if i feel like mellowing into the background or pink/white stripes with paisley cuff and colours if i feel like impersonating a 6 foot chrysanthemum (apparently its some sort of garden centre venue or something)

[quote name='Happy Jack' timestamp='1367245337' post='2063067'] The first time I heard Jaco? [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RXiYkOEBv8U[/media] Mind you, it would be another 30 years before I realised it ... [/quote] this but not 30 years - anyone in the south east area remember listening to radio caroline? they used to play all american alien boy quite often in the late 70s and iirc thats the first time i heard jaco and then on the joni mitchell mingus album

good innit
