four parts here... [url="http://youtu.be/tTcbTg8O548"]http://youtu.be/tTcbTg8O548[/url] there was a thread on here while back about joni mitchell talking about jaco which was a superb and very understanding insight and tribute

[quote name='Wolverinebass' timestamp='1346099187' post='1785331'] The shock value is pretty much gone from smashing instruments. After The Who and Hendrix is there anything else left in this regard? Er, no. What killed me about that video was that I didn't understand why he didn't swing the bass so that the string side went into the stage first. Surely that would have got the neck joint to break with one swing? [/quote] as alanis would say ...isnt it ironic.... (although mr silddx will probably tel me it isnt ) that two of the guitars worlds most famous abused/lost guitars are restored and back in commission iirc dweezil zappa has the hendrix strat which had the lighter fluid treatment, and of course mr trujillo with the BOD which bounced off many a stage

[quote name='zero9' timestamp='1346178118' post='1786197'] Even John Pastorius adopted 'Jaco'. I suppose it's what starts to sound familiar after a while. Jaco? John? Jaco? [/quote] was his family from devon?

v nice

not new... but rather good anyways [url="http://youtu.be/Dy9BQ1f4COM"]http://youtu.be/Dy9BQ1f4COM[/url]

maybe they were too loud and some health and safety person from reading council pulled the plug

well done the beeb wtf is the point of showing the first three songs of a live concert and then just pulling the plug???

[quote name='Fat Rich' timestamp='1345971700' post='1783582'] Long term, what produces a better all round bass player? 1) Someone who has studied the extremes of the instrument, realised they've overplayed and used judgement to get back to something tasteful that suits the song or 2) Some lazy, useless plodder like me who can only play simple stuff and has to search around in my empty brain whenever I want to play something vaguely interesting [/quote] as alanis would say .... isnt it ironic .... that both/either options will often produce more or less the same end result

im going to go out on a limb here and challenge your use of virtuoso! i totally agree with you regarding the high numbers of younger musicians and students with outstanding 'technical ability' - didnt we have a thread on here a while back about the definition of virtuoso? just had a wee search but cant find it - anyways - to me it means a very great deal more than just technical ability and its not just music students either - there are many drummers and guitarists locally around here who are self taught and technically very very good and there is little to separate them all side by side - but place them up on stage with an old sweat who's been playing for 40+ years and it is often quite apparent where experience comes into the equation and makes the difference with style/presentation/voicing etc etc knowing where/what to play and where not to play blah blah blah i guess the thing that gives the technical adept music students the edge over their peer group is the ability to learn/develope on a personal level all the attributes of virtuosity that cant be taught so easily if at all - very few people are born with magic ears but they do develope over time

stand at the back wear black look mysterious

thanks will give it a good clean out and get the inputs tested

[quote name='BigRedX' timestamp='1345983268' post='1783756'] The drummer is far more entertaining than the guitarist who can't even be bothered to replicate the very distinctive tones of some of the tracks the band are covering. [/quote] and considering his athletic antics he's not keeping bad time at all, if anything the guitarist is dragging

[quote name='BigRedX' timestamp='1345982850' post='1783750'] Who's going to be the first to post an HJFreaks video? [/quote] haha simultaneous innit

ok you asked for it ... [url="http://youtu.be/rNzt3uNEVxU"]http://youtu.be/rNzt3uNEVxU[/url]

My 2500 head has just developed a wee problem - thought at first it was a fractured dodgy indtrument cable as the problem was affected when wiggling the cable about in the input jack socket but not so sure as it seems to have the same issue with both the passive and the active inputs (usual cab used is a hydrive 4x10) on first powering up the head it doesnt seem to cut into full power or volume for some several minutes - with both input gain and main vol up at almost max it kicks out a puny amount of volume and power which sounds more like the master volume is on about 1-2 then it will just behave itself and kicks in and all is fine - this problem only started after i decided to hook an extra cab up one evening - namely an ashdown 1x15 - when it promptly failed to play up at its usual power level so i disconnected it and it took about 15 minutes for it to settle down and behave itself - have used an extra 1x15 cab before ( a hartke which i recently sold) so didnt think the [url="http://www.musiciansfriend.com/amplifiers-effects/ashdown-mag-115-1x15-deep-bass-cabinet"]ashdown cab[/url] would be a problem as its an 8 ohm cab same as the old hartke 115XL i used to use regularly) after it seems to have settled down i leave the power on and it seems to behave for the rest of the evening but is just the first 5 to 10 minutes it seems to have a mind of it's own and not sure what the problem might be - any clues please thanks

[quote name='Gust0o' timestamp='1345587794' post='1779301'] I like this I'll admit, my sound is now just pretty much bass > Hartke HA4000. I know Dave Ellefson goes neat into his Hartke, so there's obviously something to be said for it at all levels of ability! [/quote] +1 i go straight into my hartke, i used to use the hi and lo pass on the head to cut the top and boost the bottom end but recently it is creeping slowly back to a completely flat setting - the eq on the trb gives ample low end boost and mid if needed for a bit of extra definition and punch - the jazz is passive and played all the time with tone full open

the album contyaining the studio version is credited with several bass players on allmusic page but doesnt specify which is which unless you have access to cover or sleeve notes - although from the wee clip available on allmusic my first guess would be ron carter

[quote name='EssentialTension' timestamp='1345678127' post='1780530'] The 'Live at the Filmore' version is, I believe, Jerry Jemmott. [/quote] +1 it seems [url="http://www.allmusic.com/album/live-at-fillmore-west-mw0000107829/credits"]http://www.allmusic.com/album/live-at-fillmore-west-mw0000107829/credits[/url]

yes to all the above plus my quoted profile name has now gone from steve-bbb to steve-bbb edit - XP fully sp'd up with firefox 14.0.1

young hearts run free, simply the best, hot stuff by any chance ? everybody berates a lot of the cover band staples as being tedious pop songs barely more bearable than mustang sally but if you get the groove right you can pretty much guarantee the crowd will be enjoying themselves (unless youve been booked for a doomfest or something) - and they are rather fun and satisfying to play if you nail them just right - young hearts run free is a great one to flow and groove but make sure the drummist gets hot stuff at the correct tempo or you will end up with cramp in both hands after 3 minutes

travel all the way to bristol to see some spotty teenager showing off their dream theater chops ? do they have a big neon sign at the event ? [color=#b22222]PLEASE DO NOT ATTEMPT TO MAKE FUNNY JOKES ABOUT 'THIS ONE IS SO LOUD IT GOES ALL THE WAY UP TO ELEVEN' OR YOU WILL BE ESCORTED FROM THE PREMISES BY SECURITY STAFF WITHOUT A REFUND[/color] (is this actually the cynical smiley?? it's the closest i can see so it'll do for the moment thanks)

well slap my thigh! would prefer a decent cup of tea tbh

[quote name='swanbrook' timestamp='1345421997' post='1777420'] Sorry guys each to there own but nobody will convince me that this is better than Jamerson, or take that [/quote] nobody was suggesting that something is better than anything else - its all just varying shades of preferernces and differentness innit personally speaking i completely 'get' holdsworth solos but as for the khanate link above ... i do hope somebody had the decency to check to see if the poor hippy screaming on the floor was ok and didnt need an ambulance or anything drastic
