  3. [quote name='BRANCINI' timestamp='1341304217' post='1716506'] Played in a lot of Blues bands, so I guess it should be A or D. But it aint, its almost always walking around C. I wonder what influences these choices. Whether its down to habit from early stuff you learn, pitch of your voice something that resonates in yer brain, or something more mexhanical, like fret spacing, or the angle of your elbow.. [/quote] usually whatever listen to at time or whatever is stuck in my tiny brain - fret spacing not a significant factor as have a 35 incher and a 34 incher so that is like almost a whole fret/semitone displacement anyways - but i would speculate that the least noodled key is probably F maj
  4. im glad im not the only one!
  5. i was at rehearsal yesterday with my hydrive 410 and due to my age and aching joints the only place to sit was on the cab! for any lady readers you will definitely throw your rabbits away once youve got one these cabs!!! edit - and that was just with the 250w head - must be quite staggering with a kilo head hooked up to this thing
  6. hows this for starters? [url="http://youtu.be/OMJbJJldSNw"]http://youtu.be/OMJbJJldSNw[/url]
  7. [quote name='Cjd191' timestamp='1339536713' post='1690305'] Me and my dad have just bought tickets to go and see these two live with a full band at Ronnie Scotts on the 21st July. Really looking forward to this, both of them are awesome musicians. Anybody else going to watch? [/quote] depending which tickets you have is worth getting there early on the evening and getting right near front of queue as they allocate the seating on the night on a first come first served basis so if you at the front of the queue you stand a good chance of being seated at the tables right at the front edge of the stage
  8. Hi there, nice to be with you, glad you could stick around. Like to introduce `Legs' Larry Smith, drums And Sam Spoons, rhythm pole And Vernon Dudley Bohay-Nowell, bass guitar And Neil Innes, piano. Come in Rodney Slater on the saxophone With Roger Ruskin Spear on tenor sax. I, Vivian Stanshall, trumpet. Big hello to Big John Wayne, xylophone And Robert Morley, guitar. Billy Butlin, spoons. And looking very relaxed, Adolf Hitler on vibes. Nice! Princess Anne on sousaphone. Mmm. Introducing Liberace, clarinet With Garner "Ted" Armstrong on vocals. Lord Snooty and his pals, tap dancing. In the groove with Harold Wilson, violin And Franklin McCormack on harmonica. Over there, Eric Clapton, ukulele. Hi Eric! On my left Sir Kenneth Clark, bass sax. A great honour, sir. And specially flown in for us, a session's gorilla on vox humana. Nice to see Incredible Shrinking Man on euphonium. Drop out with Peter Scott on duck call. Hearing from you later, Casanova on horn. Yeah! Digging General de Gaulle on accordion. Rather wild, General! Thank you, sir. Roy Rogers on Trigger. Tune in Wild Man of Borneo on bongos. Count Basie Orchestra on triangle. Thank you. Great to hear the Rawlinsons on trombone. Back from his recent operation, Dan Druff, harp. And representing the flower people, Quasimodo on bells. Wonderful to hear Brainiac on banjo. We welcome Val Doonican as himself. Very appealing, Max Jaffa. Mmm, that's nice, Max! What a team, Zebra Kid and Horace Batchelor on percussion. A great favourite and a wonderful performer of all of us here, J. Arthur Rank, on gong. err is that 40 covered yet ??? and for the benefit of our younger basschatters [media]http://youtu.be/8DUEAG5eO6c[/media]
  9. shop are just adding their cut onto the courier fee which is standard retail practice i guess - ive used ukmail several times to do 'third party collection' - is especially useful for bulky purchases and consignements are all covered minimum 500 insurance with more if required - the only real risk is trusting whether the sender has wrapped it up well enough - shops are usually ok with this but [i]some[/i] auction sellers seem to think a black plastic bin liner and a couple of elastic bands will do the job
  10. [quote name='bartelby' timestamp='1341054572' post='1713247'] I meant to add: I prefer stage left, so the risk of headstock/cymbal clashing is reduced. [/quote] this - and luckily most drummers have snare/hihat to the left too which i find an advantage as they tend to be looking more or less your way more often than not
  11. [quote name='bubinga5' timestamp='1341047825' post='1713131'] hes also brother to the famous soul sister Vivienne McKone.. another great track with his epic playing.. [/quote] [font=verdana,geneva,sans-serif][b][color=#800080][size=6][i]LUSH[/i][/size][/color][/b][/font]
  12. why 2 necks? the sound of equal amounts of neck+bridge on a J is awesome imo am guessing you might find the bridge a bit harsh and burpy but used in moderation mixed in with the neck it really does add that bit of extra definition the other issue apart from wiring is pole spacing - a J matched pair will not be identical size/spacing - there is approx total 4-5mm difference in pole/string positioning between the neck and bridge
  13. i use ukmail regularly - if you can stick to monday to friday the rates are lower - sats is usually a premium rate with all courier companys rate also depends on volumetric weight - what is it?
  14. oh hai there i hz 7string jem - my what big cymbal u hv edit - [url="http://basschat.co.uk/topic/27655-daily-annoyances/page__view__findpost__p__1713069"]maybe this guy should hook up with him[/url]
  15. [quote name='Kiwi' timestamp='1341000815' post='1712817'] .........I really liked his comment about her imagination..... [/quote] she is a very underrated creative genius imho - from here facebook group page recently.... [b][i]and if you complain once more, you'll meet an army of me[/i][/b]
  16. [b][i]On a bass guitar, the frets tell you where the notes are.[/i] [/b] edit .... [i][b]...but the resultant noise can lead to irritation among otherwise mild-mannered music fans.[/b][/i] come on own up you lot - that journo is a BC member - whcih one of you is it?? editedit kudos that theyve bothered to insert an example soundclip for each item edit3 im liking some of the quotage too (28) [b][i](Nile) Rodgers developed his technique based upon the wise words of Miles Davis: "It's not the sh1t you play, it's the sh1t you don't play." "The funkier I play," says Rodgers in a tutorial video, "the less you're actually going to hear."[/i][/b]
  17. another +1 for pacifica
  18. [quote name='BigRedX' timestamp='1340913315' post='1711546'] In a sense both inspire me in the same way that I don't want to be like either of them. [/quote] this
  19. on a topical note that olympics/muse tosh springs to mind
  20. [quote name='KiOgon' timestamp='1340892982' post='1711151'] diving/swimming/fishing/messing about on boats every day [/quote] no travel bass??
  21. terry bozzio's hi-hat bill brufords snare not the biggest fan of slapping but marcus millers slap has a distinctive ring to it seems to be independent of technical skill too id say - david bowies sax tone is always instantly recognisable
  22. [quote name='Count Bassy' timestamp='1340885048' post='1710980'] That would be the photographer then! [/quote] no chance !! the air temp was about 60-ish but the wind is about 30 knots and the sea temperature is only a few degrees above freezing the beach itself is about 100+ yards wide of pure white quartz sand and is about 5 miles long in a big sweeping arc - i was the only person on the beach that afternoon [url="https://maps.google.com/maps?ll=-51.897469,-58.370275&spn=0.041418,0.077162&t=h&z=14&lci=com.panoramio.all,weather"]https://maps.google.com/maps?ll=-51.897469,-58.370275&spn=0.041418,0.077162&t=h&z=14&lci=com.panoramio.all,weather[/url]
  23. what on earth have commersons dolphins got to do with pino palladino?
  24. [quote name='KiOgon' timestamp='1340880296' post='1710860'] Dolphins? Killer whales more like [/quote] thats what i thought wehen i first saw them but they are dolphins - peale's i believe [url="http://www.flickr.com/photos/andypollard/5512090728/"]http://www.flickr.com/photos/andypollard/5512090728/[/url] - they do have killer whales out there but i guess the whales only come in that close if there is a tasty seal snack at the waters edge
  25. [quote name='charic' timestamp='1340878720' post='1710826'] So in summary it's a success? [/quote] well that depends on your viewpoint and your agenda edit - sorry forgot to add my worthless opinion ... overproduced tosh
