[quote name='Ou7shined' timestamp='1342347876' post='1733441'] Just as well you didn't, no one's in the mood for irony today. Thread fail. Should have got Discreet to post it they'd be rolling in the isles by now. [/quote] must be all the x-flares - the magnetic storms are playing havoc with everybodys tiny little minds just for an ironic thrill im going to set up another profile and call myself INDISCREET

oh hai

i'd rather see an end to G4S

uh oh senior moment i just clicked on the OP's link and was merrily reading away when i thought to myself [i]'i'll start quick thread on this'[/i]

[quote name='spongebob' timestamp='1342279352' post='1732738'] Glad to hear some support for 'Tormato'! Don't know why it gets such a bad press. I even love the cover - lovely 70's piece. Granted, 'Circus Of Heaven' is a bit lame, but the rest is great. Even Wakemans's piercing synths have their place! Full marks for the band for not just repeating themselves. Got to say it (maybe we should have a poll!), my favourite is 'Relayer'....but anything from their debut to 'Drama' works for me. I think a big part of Yes' golden period was the magic of Eddie Offord. He gives the music such space to breathe - and Squire's bass in particular. Can you imagine if those albums were made today? I bet you'd barely hear the bass parts within the compressed wall of sound! [/quote] well in a recent interview mr squire explained how the bass was so muchg higher up in the mix than expected due to a dodgy pair of headphones in the studio - it all came out with the bass in your face but the effect was pleasant so they stuck with it

i was brought up on close to the edge and fragile but i absolutley love drama but not the drama line up - saw them live on the drama tour - was ok but it wasnt yes it was more like the chris squire show with added backing band

yes it s a bit lame i guess but it was merely to shgow him in plain clothes lol his cross dressing manga pop videos have much better bass playing imho

as we havent had them on here for a while heres one for any cardiac noobs [url="http://youtu.be/OxhuQWKwbqY"]http://youtu.be/OxhuQWKwbqY[/url]

marvellous i got some plain bog standard rotos for a tenner as im a bit strapped on jobseekers and couldnt justify 20 for the swingbass on th eplus side though in my more senior years i dont sdeem to suffer from the sweaty greasy hand syndrome of my mispent youth so they do tend to last a lot longer anyways <3 5678s

if its just a pub and/or somewhere i dont personally know then i only take the squier J (150 squid) all other gigs and 'ok' pubs that i know i take the TRB

new strings new strings new strings new strings new strings new strings ok ive stopped skipping around the house now but dont you get just that little frisson of excitement like a kid with a new toy when youve just restrung?

good evening fellow basschatters has anybody any experience of homebuild DIY stuff specifically DI box job seekers allowance being not much to live it is a bit difficult to justify the GAS at the moment so was wondering about the cost of a DIY build against a straightforward purchase ive seen passive boxes in the 25-30 pound range and wondered if it was possible to put them together for less than this - as [url="http://sound.westhost.com/project35.htm"]passive DI circuit[/url] only contains a transformer and a couple of components (not sure what spec the transformer is tho- have had a wee look online ([url="http://www.sowter.co.uk"]sowter[/url]) and decent audio transformers seem to range anywhere between 20-80+ pounds any electronics boffins any clues to help out please

[quote name='gjones' timestamp='1304458608' post='1219300'] I think Steinberger headless basses will soon be making a comeback worn right up under your chin. The sleeves of your jacket rolled up obligatory (mullet optional). [/quote] thank goodness... am having a hell of a job trying to find a decent mullet wig

[quote name='Chris2112' timestamp='1341536234' post='1720745'] Similarly, Joni Mitchell's records with Jaco or Larry are crap! [/quote] seriously?

so versatile too - you can finger them or slap them!

nicely saved up for the coda at 2:30 edit [quote name='scalpy' timestamp='1341469664' post='1719401'] Root/ Octave is a secret amongst this sect of musicians known as bassists. Please stop publishing one of our few weapons that others cannot replicate with the same degree of slinkiness. [/quote] ...although its not on the studio version, on this live version you can hear the guitarist trying to muscle in on the octaves at the end [media]http://youtu.be/AI2k6aseNqg[/media]

ok so ive been up all night on the youtube watching through all the HJFreaks vids for inspiration and im off to apply now wish me luck

[quote name='debwilliams' timestamp='1341425743' post='1718869'] Can I come to your audition please Steve? [/quote] i will insist that the audition is a live webcast
