So.. what was Geddy Lee's last great bassline...?
steve-bbb replied to wateroftyne's topic in General Discussion
none of their later material has really grabbed me since moving pictures and signals - too formulaic and lacking in the charisma department - i dont dislike their material and im not against their change of style per se i just think their current style and sound hasnt produced anything of equal merit to the early and mid stuff if you get my drift edit - oops sorry forgot the answer to the original question here it is [url="http://youtu.be/wlNrQGmj6oQ"]http://youtu.be/wlNrQGmj6oQ[/url] listen to all 26 mins and tell me if you honestly think that any of the recent albums have any bass lines to compare with this -

just as a thought .... has anybody any experience of perspex or acrylic bodies? i recall the dan armstrong thingy from years ago and if i remember correctly was there a bass version as well as the six string? the idea of a perspex/acrylic bitsa project has just occured to me and requires a modicum of investigation i feel

[quote name='Happy Jack' timestamp='1321626135' post='1441368'] What exactly do you mean by "Googling" it in this context? Do you just put the name of the process into Google and see what comes up? [/quote] absolutley - just type the process name into google and you will get pages of results of explanations regarding the process and its functions

[quote name='geoffbyrne' timestamp='1321610579' post='1441086'] I've used FreeStudio for ages & (so far) it's been perfectly OK, but Avast! checks everything on download & has prevented one or two from happening, but this always gets the OK. but +1 on the above. G.

in answer to your original question there is no real answer is there? to get good at both would require a lot of practice and research - and with regards to discipline isnt it purely down to the amount of self-discipline they have? you could teach somebody slap technique exactly like VW but then they would need the self discipline to keep repeatedly practising it over and over until its perfect

[quote name='Leemarc Ferguson' timestamp='1321616625' post='1441187'] It does make me wonder how some bass players think if Im honest. I have had this same chat with other players. Some say you have the John Pattitucci or Jaco style of fingering that would blown anyone away but then others have said people like Victor Wooten, Miller, Larry Graham, Stu Hamm their style are forces to be reckoned with. [/quote] wearing a pair of adidas boots doesnt mean you can bend it like beckham why copy someones style when what you really need is to observe how people play and help them develop their own style?

if you download any of the free mp4 > mp3 converters then check your machine afterwards for spyware/malware - odds are there will be something lurking on your hard drive you wouldnt have knowingly invited

just a further edit/bump to clarify the repair on the pic above you can see a largish cylindrical silver eletrolytic capacitor - this is the item which failed due to age and to me inadvertently loading it up with 9v battery direct without bringing up to voltage slowly - this component has been replaced with a new capacitor of the same rating/value. my friend who is the electronic engineer responsible for the repair has told me that the function of this particlar capacitor is to regulate and smooth the power supply from the battery - consequently it has no function as part of the amp/tone circuitry and does not affect the sound at all the part was probably ok but was possibly damaged by me inadvertently just by plugging a 9v battery in to test the unit - it should ideally have been loaded up with a very low voltage and stepped up very slowly over several hours back to its operational voltage - something to do with the capacitor losing all its charge and polarity when left in storage without being used for a very long time i dont have a six string thing any more but tested it using my squier J and trace boxer65 and it is in full working order ta -
