  1. have you tried a felt or leather pick?
  2. you could always replace it with some genuine sincerity from .... say .... Toploader [url="http://youtu.be/0yBnIUX0QAE"]http://youtu.be/0yBnIUX0QAE[/url]
  3. and from a superb album, this [media]http://youtu.be/eEE-Hl80fFk[/media]
  4. very kayak-esque piano line [url="http://youtu.be/Fsc-oT9PsSQ"]http://youtu.be/Fsc-oT9PsSQ[/url]
  5. is he on the internets? if so get him signed up to scotts
  6. behind the saddle where the string goes over the saddle, there is usually a spring - on most basses this spring is often at full natural extension on the G string (the D A and E strings will be increasingly squashed as the saddle position moves backwards) try and check it is not this spring buzzing
  7.

  8. keep buying and keep them all just in case
  9. [quote name='hiram.k.hackenbacker' timestamp='1457139661' post='2995819'] Frank Zappa - Freak Out One of the first double albums and one of the first concept albums. Stunning. That is all. [/quote] +1 And another +1 for physical graffiti

  11. as much as it pains me to say this, your guitarer absolutely correct its all about attention to detail and imho if you want to recreate a certain feel or groove of a particular tune you need to listen to your parts in detail to copy them precisely - many players often play what they think they remember is the correct part but their brain is filling in the small lapses of memory with what they think is the correct note or correct rhythm - only to go re-listen to the original to find they are partially adapting a rhythm or syncopation from another instrument part into their own line - from experience we have recently been rehearsing Paramore's Aint it Fun, and it took several rehearsal to get the feel just right and part of the reason for that was i was slightly over-cooking the bass line syncopation where it was not actually there in the original - it is quite surprising how sometimes very simple little changes make a big difference but once you nail it then suddenly the whole thing falls into place and you actually reach the correct feel and groove of the original
  12. don't go near the [b]Sandberg[/b] stand !!! if you pick one up you won't be able to move away without parting with your hard earned bass tokens
  13. buy the card and keep and if you don't get on with it you can sell it WITH the card and emphasise the convenience of that in your advertisement hope this helps
  14. only four strings - its easier of course
  15. [quote name='gary mac' timestamp='1456051446' post='2984766'] Treat yourself to a pack of micro mesh sheets. You can then rub down with a very fine grade one , that won't leave any visible scratches but will leave a super silky smooth surface. [/quote] [quote name='sunburstjazz1967' timestamp='1456055892' post='2984849'] As above ,1200 grit paper will do it without ruining the neck. [/quote] 1200 grade (usually about the finest grade wet and dry you will find in DIY shops) will satinize the gloss 12000 grade micromesh sheet will polish and remove fine scratches that are invisible to naked eye - i bought a set of micro mesh cloths from amazon recently, excellent investment for a tenner
  16. omfg look what i just found [url="http://youtu.be/eXsFZjfNCDY?t=49m55s"]http://youtu.be/eXsFZjfNCDY?t=49m55s[/url]
  17. [quote name='hiram.k.hackenbacker' timestamp='1456000454' post='2984490'] Love 'em. A bit obvious, but a guilty pleasure all the same.... [media]http://youtu.be/WZKp8_jw4fw[/media] [/quote] hmm its ok but its not little feat is it have at you with this [url="http://youtu.be/lvelsr9vHhI"]http://youtu.be/lvelsr9vHhI[/url]
  18. Vices... Takes me back to the wonderful 70s when it was a regular on the radio Caroline playlist
  19. i bloody well hope so - guess the issue is as the musos get more and more proficient the clangers get less and less noticeable by mere mortals apparently according to written reports out there (sleeve notes and other iirc), zappa's band never managed to play Ship Arriving Too Late in it's entirety all of them together with no mistakes it was too tricky even for them, the recording on the album is pieced together from multiple performances
  20. why and to whom? i know camdenrob is probably having a bit of lighthearted fun but ... I'm happy with my purchases and feel no need for further justification hope this helps have a nice day y'all
  21. seems like an opportunity to post link to a bunch of rather nice remixes [url="http://spotify:album:3s3RuMirqSd2QXGE8XnKBh"]http://spotify:album:3s3RuMirqSd2QXGE8XnKBh[/url] was on youtube but seems to have been removed for infringement or sumfink
  22. [quote name='Oopsdabassist' timestamp='1455042056' post='2975363'] Olias of Sunhillow, absolutely sublime album! [/quote] +1 for olias smallcreep's day ? thing fish probably not everybody idea of concept album but janelle monae's archandroid has a bit of a concept feel for me [s]seventh[/s] ninth wave (ok so its only half an album) todd rundgren's initiation too many bill nelson albums to mention - red noise sound on sound would possibly be a good one coming in on the post punk era tubes - completion backward principle
  23. [quote name='drTStingray' timestamp='1455405266' post='2978939'] as with any IT it takes a while to learn to use it and as there is often the need for an urgent tweak, it can be a hinderence if you aren't skilled with it. [/quote] conversely if the sound engineers are very acquainted with the kit they can solve problems very quickly - we had a big wedding reception last year with a very well equipped sound crew and had some really strange on stage feedback going on during the soundcheck - man with iPad comes up on to the stage whilst we were playing and fixed the problem in less than 20 seconds
  24. totally plastic with some wooden bits
