[quote name='Shockwave' timestamp='1397847603' post='2427992'] [/quote] Looks lovely ! what year is it? even some of the squiers can be hit and miss too - i saw a blue affinity J identical to mine in Wunjos a while back that was new but the finish was nowhere near the quality of mine which is 2009 - form what can tell from your pics this one looks rather nicely finished bring it along to the south east bass bash and we can set up out own little budget corner lest our lovely squiers should be contamined by the proliference of kingbasses and various other fad gadgets [quote name='chriswareham' timestamp='1397860227' post='2428129'] Doesn't feel as substantial as a Fender branded one, but I guess that's just a difference in the materials they're made from. [/quote] would agree with this too but with some replacement pups they can sound way above their true price range here's mine complete with scratchplate that makes it look like i smoke 80 a day

Sandberg did it first

[quote name='xilddx' timestamp='1396047187' post='2409537'] Yeah f*** corn syrup. And f***ing palm oil. And why don't peeps eat butter anymore? Because they were taught to eschew healthy natural products and eat that sh*t the gub'nint says is healthy - highly processed, toxin-rich f***ing sh*t like Olivio. [/quote] real proper actual genuine butter is, weight for weight, just about the cheapest option now compared to all the artificial 'tub of grease' alternatives is a sad indictment of society that people will pay more for a less healthy artificial alternative PS can i have the gig now please i promise i will only have a sneaky bacon sandwich while nobody is looking using artisan baked bread and bacon from responsibly farmed piggies

[quote name='neepheid' timestamp='1397637639' post='2425817'] I'm happy that the OP was delighted with the music coming out of the radio and the bass tone contained within. And it seemed to be a self contained, non-projecting personal opinion too. Why some knuckleheads can't resist turning it into a P vs. J thing then a P vs. everything else thing is beyond me [/quote] because J's are clearly superior!

[quote name='allighatt0r' timestamp='1397635079' post='2425779'] Jazzes are clearly for the more intelligent, discerning type of individual. [/quote] definitely this and they are so much more versatile too

[quote name='xilddx' timestamp='1396614894' post='2415702'] I know! I can't believe it! [/quote] this will require pic/video postcards from Brazil you understand !! [media]http://youtu.be/XG63OtsKC7k[/media]

who is imp unity and why does he/she need so many ricks ?

not a session player here but a polite suggestion, Survey Monkey might be useful? [url="https://www.surveymonkey.com/"]https://www.surveymonkey.com/[/url] or possibly even use basschat's own poll options

im still trying to find the carlos santana secret chord progression

[quote name='skankdelvar' timestamp='1397095200' post='2420639'] Basic rule of thumb for bands. Dress the same as your audience only 10% more so (unless you're Mr Dick Venom). [/quote] you saying i should wear the wedding dress AND the tiara?

[quote name='merello' timestamp='1397071181' post='2420427'] Genius. Utter genius. Is there not a website dedicated to Joni alt tunings? [/quote] [url="http://jonimitchell.com/music/tuningpatterns.cfm"]http://jonimitchell.com/music/tuningpatterns.cfm[/url]

[quote name='alembic1989' timestamp='1396946438' post='2418903'] Wicked thread..love Franks music. Some his solos on his lendary SG are my all time faves...his solos seem to have so much WEIGHT!!... I'm thinking Zomby Woof/ Montana on Overnite Sensation...totally kills. [/quote] not to mention watermelon [url="http://youtu.be/B9DqykUsqRY"]http://youtu.be/B9DqykUsqRY[/url]

why laziness? it could be lack of confidence to go out and gig? not insurmountable at all just needs a bit of focus and direction

Anyways ... Back OT. I do agree KevB all my favourite Jaco stuff is with Joni There was a thread on here a while back about JM re her interview describing Jaco and her comments about him were very sympathetic and she certainly did appreciate just how much he suffered from the tortured artist syndrome amongst other MH issues and gave him space to do his thing Interesting to note that on live performances Pino chose to replicate the Jaco lines. Ery closely (the japan performance of Hejira springs to mind with Wayne shorter in the pinewood trees !) and personally i agree it's a perfect bass line and is integral to the song

[quote name='ambient' timestamp='1396827658' post='2417813'] I think I'm gonna have to be checking out more of her stuff . One of my first bass tutors gave me a copy of Hejira ages which I've still got and think is amazing. We watched a live film last year in a lecture, but apart from the 'Both sides now' album, that's my only exposure to her. [/quote] you much variety and quality to catch up on then!

[font=trebuchet ms,helvetica,sans-serif]He bought her a diamond for her throat He put her in a ranch house on a hill She could see the valley barbecues From her window sill See the blue pools in the squinting sun Hear the hissing of summer lawns[/font]

[quote name='Dingus' timestamp='1396808828' post='2417584'] Joni Mitchell ? Quite simply , sublime. What is often overlooked about her is that she is an incredible singer from a technical standpoint - she seems incapable of singing off-key - and capable of effortlessly switching her vocal skills from one style of music to the next. Add to that natural, God-given ability her amazing craft as a songwriter and bandleader and you begin to see the monumental size of her talent . [/quote] yes yes yes all of that and where to start on the lyrics !

on the heels of my Zappa thread, I thought how about a thread for any paraphenalia on the lady who is undoubtedly one of our era's most important and influential female artists not to mention the Jaco connection of course with[b][i] that [/i][/b]live band take it away!

ten months? you could have reasonably had 8-10 gigs by now

[quote name='JapanAxe' timestamp='1396649386' post='2416199'] Capo at first fret. Sorted. [/quote] yes and dont forget to hack out the inlay markers and woodfiller and redrill new ones in the new positions [quote name='alembic1989' timestamp='1396709788' post='2416660'] The thing is I suppose it depends if you play 1 finger per fret [/quote] aaaaaaaaarrghhhhhhhhh
