[quote name='TimR' timestamp='1350478703' post='1839409'] You're right. No one notices the bass player, until he's not there. Getting yourself noticed as a bassplayer is either standing up front doing slapfest [/quote] yes and no - i disagree re the slapfest - i just play whats needed and rely on the fact that those who will be impressed with real simple accurate spot on groove playing are the ones i want to impress with a view to more potential work/gigs - as for the rest ... if theyre impressed its a bonus ... if not ... its their loss and i couldnt give a toss frankly

legend indeed and getting cheekier too on his last couple of vids

has anybody else got them? im convinced they get my bass out of it's case while im asleep and faff around with the action!!

[quote name='OzMike' timestamp='1350129465' post='1834881'] Probably just as well you didn't make it to the end then! That guy is a wonderful bass player, and has good taste in lingerie also. It's a rare combination, or so my wife tells me. [/quote]

[quote name='Shockwave' timestamp='1350140446' post='1835076'] Hmm.. Nah! I like the TRB 6 with humbuckers. P/J for me should be stuck on a passive Fender. [/quote] well the bridge pup on any trb has usually got more growl than a big growly thing

one of the early TRB 5's with the P/J pups

[quote name='Blademan_98' timestamp='1350066298' post='1834307'] to answer the OP, yes I can [/quote] not my personal challenge you understand just paraphrasing mister HJ himself on his video description your post leaves me no option but to challenge you on behalf of all basschat membership to provide photographic or video proof

[quote name='Panamonte' timestamp='1350085981' post='1834551'] I got into them in 1975 when Physical Graffiti came out and then sought out the previous albums and became a huge fan. By the the time I saw them at Knebworth in 1979 I was pretty much over all that (oh, fickle teenager) and dug Todd Rundgren's set a lot more than Zep's. These days, I think that all the albums through to Physical Graffiti (with the possible exclusion of Houses of the Holy) stand up very well and the 2003 DVD release made amends for the shortcomings of The Song Remains The Same. [/quote] +1 i was there in 79 too - page was without a doubt the most sloppy live performance ive ever seen (possibly something to do witt he fact that he had a giant rizla hanging out the side of his gob for the entire set) - bonham and jpj on the other hand ... in 33 years since then ive still yet to see a drummer and bass player outperform them +1 also regarding todd rundgren - in hindsight he really should have been the headline act would be curious to see LZ now and see how different they would be with jp sober - the o2 dome gig from what ive seen of it looked a way better live show than knebworth

not only is the slapping great but he's flapping his legs about like a good un and those stockings are actually staying up with no suspenders

[quote name='jaydentaku' timestamp='1350043685' post='1833900'] Get in! He really is awesome, but upsetting. [/quote] but not quite as traumatic as suffering the embarrassment in the privacy of your own home of watching cheryl cole trying to sing on t'telly

[quote name='ahpook' timestamp='1350029575' post='1833613'] plus the one. decaff anyone ? [/quote] [quote name='Huge Hands' timestamp='1350029248' post='1833604'] Wow - flame brigade! I'm surprised by the negativity on here - I wonder how many BC members would appreciate being told they're s**t when they post their little you tube vids. Way I see it - it's probably linked to the "play for free thread". They've made the ad, if you don't want it - ignore it. I'm not sure it warrants the pikes and burning torches. Just my opinion of course. [/quote] plus one there are plenty of vids on the show us you playing thread which wouldnt come up to this band's standard but many people offer polite criticism and advice and encouragement why slag off bands like this? not big. not clever. just my cynical ill informed opinion you understand

play bass like me while dancing? hahahahaha fantastic as ever [url="http://youtu.be/Pd2pSLFjOas"]http://youtu.be/Pd2pSLFjOas[/url]

[quote name='Dr.Dave' timestamp='1349680347' post='1828894'] I tke the same view as I've always done towards tech , particularly new tech. Will it do a job for me? It's the only question to ask really. Personally I'd also ask if that job would be cost effective but many wouldn't care so much about that which is fair enough, [/quote] this +1 i dont recall many people criticising brian may when he did the brighton rock solo all those years ago - he only has two hands and can only play one guitar at a time so he used what was available to him to set up the whole multi-layered delays/rounds thing to great effect imho

[quote name='xgsjx' timestamp='1349638850' post='1828628'] Wait a minute... Are you implying that there might be some famous acts that use pitch correction live?!?! [/quote] there are some that dont but really ought to aye pet

Hello Good Morning and Welcome!

JBR btw you have to put up an avatar picture ... of a cat .... its the rules you know [url="http://basschat.co.uk/topic/188264-cats-vs-dogs-the-argument-for-cats-being-better/"]http://basschat.co.uk/topic/188264-cats-vs-dogs-the-argument-for-cats-being-better/[/url]

ebay=pita every time i log in despite it knowing my details and location it keeps showing everything in dollars and all items in the states above local items havent used it in 18 months now so methinks now is probs a good time to delete the account - im guessing many of the ebay shops prob have parallel amazon shop accounts too

you could get a new squier affinity series for that price and a VM for only a wee bit more the grain colouration in the fretboard looks bizarre - would expect the quality control at fender/squier to be a more consistent colour across the wood all you P fanboys out there... anybody else think the body shape looks slightly 'close but not quite there' ?

did she boogie around and shake her thang to your groovy tones?

Wilkommen Bienvenue Welcome

[quote name='barkin' timestamp='1347301809' post='1799103'] That's a pain Have you tried the effects loop send/return? Might give a clue as to if it's the pre or power stage? Also, IIRC those sockets have some kind of switching arrangement - might be worth giving 'em a dose of switch cleaner and giving them the beans with a jack plug. [/quote] I took it to a local amp specialist and he said it was something to do with those sockets on the small board at the back and that it was internal in the sockets/wiring - apparently they are non-standard hartke spec sockets - albeit regular 1/4 inch - but not sockets that you can replace from maplins is working a treat now note to self - must check to make sure both preamps and master are not maxxed and the EQ maxed and the contouring maxxed before testing it!!
