cant rememebr the model name but a mate has the markbass combo with the 500w amp and single 12 and an add on extension cab with a single 12 - its wicked edit - found it [b][url="http://www.markbass.it/product_detail.php?id=41"]Mini CMD 121P[/url][/b] with this extension cab [b][url="http://www.markbass.it/product_detail.php?id=97"]New York 121[/url][/b]

its sort of anchored but floats around position wise depending where im plucking the sting for whatever tonal nuance i wish to achieve (my tone pot tends to stay fully open in fact it might well as not be there at all) and then occasionally my thumb will come away from its anchor completely but mostly for various [b][i][font=georgia,serif]ppp[/font][/i][/b] soft tones otherwise it is anchored on the top of either pickup or sometimes on the top edge of the very end of the fretboard edit - i tried anchoring my thumb with a pick the other day but it almost dislocated itself in horror!!

[quote name='spinynorman' timestamp='1348696867' post='1817209'] FWIW the address given is used by several companies and is likely to be the office of an accountant or solicitor. There's nothing wrong with this, it's quite often done by very small companies that don't have their own office premises. There's a company registration for[url="http://wck2.companieshouse.gov.uk/5c7112a06762e46295448344e9b36ec5/compdetails"] IMD Trading Ltd[/url], which is the legitimate company that trades bathroom fittings on eBay. One of the previous names they used was IMD Digital, but they changed it in Nov 2011. The website, as we were told in post #15, had nothing to do with the owners of IMD Trading or IMD Digital. By the look of the classified ads so called IMD_Digital is posting all over the world, they're targeting people outside the UK who wouldn't find it so easy to check up on them. [/quote]

plenty of yin and not much yang one section of polyrhythmic cacophony going into another and then another just doesnt really take me anywhere - the first section up to 1:40 ish was listenable and getting there but then it sort of disintegrated completely before coming back into some sort of disordered order

i cant even get the hang of my chorus and octave pedal yet

let us know when youve gigged it and hope it goes well

[quote name='Romberg Bevel' timestamp='1348584778' post='1815549'] I got a De Gregorio 'Bravo' model which is great. I originally had my eye on something else but went and checked a few out at a drum shop, and I liked this one the best. [/quote] our band has one too they are very good - have you tried micing yours? i suggested try it with some piezos - might be interesting

[quote name='Pbmwhitehouse' timestamp='1348520543' post='1814809'] I play finger style bass and have been learning slap bass and I'm having a nightmare getting the ghost mute notes sorted it so hard any tips guys and girls Regard [/quote] you wouldnt be using them tony levin funky finger attachments by any chance??

[quote name='PaulWarning' timestamp='1348582467' post='1815503'] I find anything out of the pentatonic scale works, basically go up a sting or 2, and play the same fret or 2 higher, does that make sense? some muso will probably tell me I'm talking bollocks but it seems to work for me [/quote] that'll be a fifth then

whilst sticking in the keys means that technically speaking any notes do as all the above say some notes will be better than others this is why bass tends to stay predominantly on roots/octaves and fifths because they are nearly always 'safest' other intervals such as fourths and sixths work but they often work better as 'passing' or ghost notes when they effectively moving you back towards resolving a beat or bar on a fifth or a root

[quote name='silddx' timestamp='1348522663' post='1814862'] You are approaching it from a chart reading sessionista's point of view though mate. To really do this properly, you have to be expressing yourself at the speed of thought. To do that you have to use you ears and experience. Your fingers need to have eyes, to quote Steve Vai. This comes with practice and experience. Knowing what intervals sound like is critical, having an imagination to use them is even more so. You don't need to give these intervals names if you don't want to, but you DO need to know what they sound like. You also need a vocabulary of phrases that you like (liking what you play is also critical if you want to play with any expression). You should be able to sing these in your head and play them without thinking as you adapt them to musical situations. I am also of the mind that deciding what notes you LEAVE OUT is a better approach to what notes you PUT IN It really is all about educating your ears and playing what you LIKE hearing. You have to develop your musical imagination. Of course a session player needs to be able to play almost anything, but I don't think that's where the OP is coming from. [/quote] this if you dont know what notes to fit in the spaces then its probably meant to be left that way my main concern is there will always be a pesky guitarer whose ears will prick up at the empty space needing filling and they will feel an uncontrollable urge to start widdling all over the place

[quote name='gapiro' timestamp='1348396645' post='1813032'] My guitarist friend has got one of those powerball things (the gyroscope wrist strengtheners things) He [i]claims [/i] it made a huge difference to his wrist strength and helped him with guitar speed. I'm a bit sceptical (he talks a lot of crap) so I thought i'd ask the BC population of their thoughts (link to the sort of thing I mean: [url="https://www.powerballs.com"]https://www.powerballs.com[/url] ) [/quote] (he talks a lot of crap) this better off with these

from norf kent i see you have a dog as your pic - very interesting

[quote name='Jonbass123' timestamp='1348392168' post='1812949'] ....really believe the bass has the ability to get the girls bums swinging. [/quote] any excuse to post THIS [url="http://youtu.be/8gK5zEmay40"]http://youtu.be/8gK5zEmay40[/url]

enjoy the squier ! seriously though i experienced the same phenomenon with a TRB and a Squier J - i plan to put some wizards in the squier when i have the beer tokens but apart from that its great as it is and i gig it regularly

ive subscribd too on the chewb ages ago great tone form the sansamp drivers and compresssors and the sandbergs and stuff but you can also hear and see from his playing that in spite of his gear that a great deal of tone is coming from his fingers too i like the tone on this [url="http://youtu.be/pLTKdWIgG5A"]http://youtu.be/pLTKdWIgG5A[/url]

just the other day i told another basschatter that id buy his TRB6 in an instant if i win the lottery soon as has also been mentioned on several other disparaging threads recently ... its a free bump for the OP/vendor otherwise... theres always [b][url="http://talkbass.com"]talkbass.com[/url][/b]

[quote name='simonc61' timestamp='1348317145' post='1812253'] Wow, just googled this and it explains so much of my previous life as a guitarist! But hey I'm a bassist now the voices tell me, so I'm going to be ok - aren't I? [/quote] you hear them too huh?

[quote name='Big_Stu' timestamp='1347983787' post='1807670'] They're not hiding their address; maybe one of the London contingent could looksee sometime to see if it's a legit shop or just a registered address? Contact info IMD DIGITAL LTD. 219 Kensington High Street, London [/quote] probably neither - google street view shows a black door for numbers 217 and 219 with entry buzzers (unfortunately pic too small to read any detail) companies house website does not have any listing of IMD DIGITAL LTD so i guess they may be in breach of the Companys Act by publicly declaring themselves a limited company when they would appear not to be

[quote name='silddx' timestamp='1348260256' post='1811676'] I reckon he's spotted a new gap in the market for a musical Moonies type enterprise. Soon enough there will be bands getting together who've never met before in a mass jam ceremony. [/quote] as long as they dont force the bass players to marry the drummists or guitarers shouldnt be too problematic [quote name='RockfordStone' timestamp='1348313285' post='1812190'] i like the idea, ive known plenty of new players who wan't to be in a band but have never had the confidence to work with people who may be better than them. playing in a band adds an extra edge to your playing, id like to think the guy has a kind heart and is looking to help people achieve dreams, even if its only on a small scale, seems a nice story given how bad humanity can be at times [/quote] i wonder if he's out to prove a point to simon cowell?

[quote name='simonc61' timestamp='1348249768' post='1811497'] Perhaps the first cover they all learn should be Peter Gabriels 'Milgram's 37 (We do what we're told) [/quote] i smell a rat in a maze with lights and bells and whistles and cheese and electrodes n stuff

seems more like he's looking for guineau pigs for a human psychology experiment than any genuine attempt to form a band
