[quote name='flyfisher' timestamp='1395258215' post='2400404'] Sorry to hear that - I thought the stuff I'd heard really had something about it and I'd have thought that it was different enough to catch the ear of someone with a bit of influence. Just goes to show that talent simply isn't enough for a successful music career. I think I've mentioned before that our singer's lad got signed to Columbia during his first year of a music performance course at Bristol Uni and they've been pushing him everywhere. Now, he's a really nice guy and can write a catchy tune but enough 'star quality' to attract a major label? I wouldn't have said so - just goes to show what I know.

[/quote] a friend has connections to a fair few voice/xfactor hopefuls/contestants/applicants - the one thing the 'successful' ones seem to have in common is that they seem to be scouted from music production courses (call me cynical) - unless the scouts stumble across someone 'from the street' with exceptional raw talent then frankly the whole production is all just for pulp entertainment and the final product has been carefully chosen and directed and stage managed from the very outset to ensure maximum return for the capital venturists who provide tha initial financial stimulus funny game innit Nige - good luck though with your next project and whatever musical serendipity cares to bring your way

[quote name='mep' timestamp='1394827444' post='2395773'] I'm partial to some tasteful slab. Our band has recently added Hungary Like The Wolf to our set which had some simple octaves. [/quote] tasteful like this? [url="http://youtu.be/xp4ndfacKs0"]http://youtu.be/xp4ndfacKs0[/url]

[quote name='GreeneKing' timestamp='1394615580' post='2393248'] Super sustain AND fretless? [/quote] Yes !! demonsration available at next south east bass bash

[quote name='discreet' timestamp='1394616501' post='2393262'] Even though only 0.001% of those watching and listening will give a crap about what bass you're playing. [/quote] or know the difference for that matter !

me too! following with interest

[quote name='Fionn' timestamp='1394614591' post='2393232'] Aye, it is. [/quote] however to add to my previous post and also disagree with Mr Fionn, i cant explain why but.... i recently modded a squier vmJ fretless with a gotoh 401 bridge my ears tell me that the sustain is marginally better than my fretted J, or if it is not the sustain then it is possibly some cunning audio illusion caused by the different tone envelope of the fretless ?

i would agree to a degree with Fionn but would add further that one very real option of guaranteed monster sustain would be to fit a graphite neck i have over the years owned bolt-ons and through necks of both woods and graphite - the through neck woods were very good but personally i wouldnt argue that they were any huge improvement in sustain over a well constructed bolt-on graphite is a whole different thing - i currently have a bolt on carbon neck and it is not so much the phenomenal sustain it also has a significant effect on the envelope of the tone - the sustain and decay is very flat and long compared with an average wood neck - i previously had a through carbon neck and hence both ends of the string are anchored directly into the carbon - you could hit an open string go put the kettle on make a cup of tea and come back and it would still be ringing is there a purpose for needing a huge sustain with the music that you perform? if so then might be worth investigating carbon necks especially if that long keyboard type sustain is what you're after? if it is then carbon neck would do it and a bridge mod would probably barely scratch the surface imho mcton etc

Or did I misinterpret your irony TimR. ?

[quote name='TimR' timestamp='1394443145' post='2391264'] <shakes head in disbelief>... [/quote] jeezus does nobody do friggin irony and sarcasm on this site anymore lighten up people

well we have finally been certified... or is it certificated? im old and easily confused all very painless and simple - we just turned up at rehearsal rooms - nice local elastictrickery people came with their pat machines and plugged it all in and stickered it all up (minus a couple of naughty gaffer taped items by our guitarer) so now we have PAT and PLI for any jobsworth events bookers who care to ask to inspect it roll on the big megabucks corporate gigs please but not holding my breath waiting though

personally i would include this in the 80/20 syndrome 80% is your style as determined by your fingertips 20% is the shiny hope this helps

[quote name='bubinga5' timestamp='1394273256' post='2389713'] that is fantastic.!! [/quote] did you listen to the rest of the album?
