[quote name='kevin_lindsay' timestamp='1330290292' post='1555351'] I'm heading towards this [/quote] the pink thumbrest looks a bit hello kitty - maybe chrome or white would look better? sort of bass that HJ might add to his GAS list [url="http://youtu.be/yzQOJPJdcC0"]http://youtu.be/yzQOJPJdcC0[/url] come to think of it this one look s a bit like a king bass with a nice blue sprayjob

[quote name='skankdelvar' timestamp='1336785508' post='1651195'] Oh yes, indeedy. I wish I could unlearn [i]everything[/i] and go back to the time when a good song just overwhelmed me in its totality. TBH, I'd give up playing, just to get that back. [color=#ffffff].[/color] [/quote] strangely i do sometimes get recollection not just of the tune itself but also the time/setting of when that tune made its first big impact for example - i can distinctly recall the moves 'flowers in the rain' on the wireless at about age of 5 - and if i recall it in my memory then im hearing it not only associated with that setting but also crystal clear in its entirety and for some reason it is a pop tune that i never tire of - i find i f i have to learn a song then i will listen in depth and may spot things hidden away in the arrangement that werent at first noticeable but most of the time its all there but predominantly the bass lines and chord progressions

[quote name='musophilr' timestamp='1336814273' post='1651354'] and the more complex forms of jazz. In the words of Sir Thomas Beecham, I just "like the noise that it makes" [/quote] whilst liking the crazy noise i find i i can analyze it and read the movement of a good solo like a book - prob why im such a big fan or mr holdsworth = similarly pat metheny has written some beautiful 'simple' tunes but i do like just as much the wild guitar solos on the roland guitar synth too

ok here goes when you hear music how would you describe your own personal experience of it and how does you recollection of it come back at you? we often make many assumptions that we all perceive things pretty much the same but from person to person there are always some subtle and surprising differences personally i hear it in very great detail and even from about age of 3 or 4 there was always something that seemed to grab my attention with the bass lines - as for recall i seem to be able to recall it in my head in a tape recorder fashion exact as the recording (to draw an analogy i would describe it similar to people who have photographic recall of visual scenes and imagery) .......

[quote name='norvegicusbass' timestamp='1336743785' post='1650336'] When I am trying to learn a bassline from ear I sort of sing the bassline and make up words that fit the rhythm so in effect the bassline becomes the melody line and the words help with the phrasing. As you can imagine these songs often result in having wonderful tunes crafted by such masters as Jamerson, Jack Bruce, JPJ et al but bloody awful nonsensical lyrics. Anyone else do it this way? I think learning by ear is very difficult especially as my ears arent what they were when I was younger and picking out the bassline cleanly is very hard for me. I am learning Darling Dear at the moment and I am in the middle of crafting the lyrics which include a bit about a Hobbit going to the dentists! Unless there are easier ways to learn by ear my family have to put up with these bizarre utterences. What strategies have you used to aid learning by ear? [/quote] you're in distinguished company - i seem to recall an interview where steve vai describes using a similar process with complex melodic lines

[quote name='4 Strings' timestamp='1336732842' post='1650086'] I'm a pleb to all this, but very pleased at increasing popularity to MP3 alternatives. (Was beginning to believe a whole generation will be brought up on crappy quality playback and this end up reducing the quality of recordings) What do you play FLAC and/or APE files, a laptop? Any portable players play these formats? [/quote] There is an iPhone app called capricio for playing flac . I would recommend FreeRIP for ease of use for ripping converting and tagging

thnaks will give exact audio copy a try was using an app called FreeRIP which seemed to be workign fine then checked a couple of tracks and thought they sounded a bit strange and i could hear parts of the sound field and arrangements that id not noticed before then realised something was definitely amiss as certain things seemed to drop out completely liek the effect when both channels arent working and you get on ly a vague echo of the missing channel in the background??? will give EAC a try with the same track and see what it does unless its a dodgy connection somehwere!! edit dodgy connection lol - FreeRip is good!

[/quote] do people still do that? just cos they think it looks cool when keef or jimmy do it? or is it all aspiring to be like the gallaghers now or something? seriously? who knew!

ok own up !! who's got my cd's??? just been ripping the collection and there seem to be about 12-15 titles have gone AWOL

are we still allowed to say R********ker ?

well unless i get a major gig (highly unlikely i know) my main is my TRB and very close second is Squier J (both bought 2nd hand at 380 and 150 respectively and both were absolutley pristine) I like looking at pics of shiney but i dont feel any need to go out indulge in GAS unless i actually had that elusive major gig to justify it - the only thing on my wish list at moment is to upgrade my 2500 head to a hartke LH500/1000 edit - come to think of it even if i did get that elusive major gig i would still use the TRB cos its luvverly
