[quote name='Oscar South' post='459051' date='Apr 10 2009, 09:03 AM']I love the sound of bass double stops and major scales

Just kidding, aside from a few parts where its a bit obvious what you're doing its really well done, the tone and production are great and there are some really good melodic bits in there. Funnily enough it reminds me a lot of something I recorded years ago when I'd only played bass for a little while, I think the bass invites a certain 'sound' (playing wise) in its use as a solo compositional tool.[/quote]


Its just good fun messing about trying to record stuff
I only use 'Garageband'
probably THE most simple method around right now haha

[quote name='Golchen' post='459066' date='Apr 10 2009, 09:48 AM']Now that's an album that totally blew me away when it came out! The bass and guitar interplay is totally out of this world. Vai and Sheehan are a perfect pairing.

I was lucky enough to met Billy last year, such a nice guy with a great attitude to the fans (I have a pic somewhere!?!)[/quote]

aw yeah, he really is an awesome guy

but yeah, Vai and Billy = amazing. seen them 3 times together.

[quote name='geilerbass' post='458958' date='Apr 10 2009, 12:13 AM']For some strange reason, I've never really got around to listening to his solo stuff - guess I should do something about that, eh!

The Roth albums and the first three Mr Big records are true classics though. What a hero!

I think I love him in a not entirely platonic way... [/quote]

I completely love the Eat Em n Smile album

hi billy

bloody hell or holy cow alright!

what an album - it arrived this morning right on delivery date from amazon.co.uk, big pat on the back to the supply and distribution company who quite obviously nailed it.

thank you

I noticed it has the 14th of April on your front page I must be one of the fortunate ones! amazon info did have their delivery schedule 7th of April.

Spectacular drumming by Ray Luzier - does he play drums all the way through? if so it is unbelievable, what a player! do you think he would join my band? he, he!

good luck with the album, hope its a great success - certainly, again, deserves to be.

your friend

drew[/i]

He'll be ever so pleased you started this thread Zoe!

Hey

yeah i emailed him too!

and when i added him on my new music myspace the other day..he said:

ZOE!!
Hi! Nice page---good one!
My pleasure to add you!
Hi to your Mom & Dad.
Much Love,
Billy



its awesome how much time he makes for his fans.

I was doing a presentation in school about him, and i emailed him, and he made me a voice clip saying 'hey this is billy sheehan, welcome to Zoes presentation about myself' etc was amazing.

but over the past year and a half, ive been going through a load of crap with anxiety.
I ended up being really down, not being about to go school, gigs, band pracs, play with my band, go out with my friends. and i ended up just really demotivated.. its been pretty sh*t
and he rang me up while he was in Birmingham, because i wasnt able to make it to his bass clinic.
I actually missed the phone call and he left me a voice mail, could have just kicked myself afterwards haha.
saved the voicemail though
But it was amazing, defiantly the motivation i needed to get back into playing music again, and it worked BIG TIME!

[quote name='Golchen' post='458780' date='Apr 9 2009, 08:17 PM']Actually I have a bootleg of that. Yours for £5 plus P&P.



I fancy that album myself. I'll have to get it now.

You don't like Compression?[/quote]

[quote name='Protium' post='458772' date='Apr 9 2009, 08:06 PM']That's what he sounds like most of the time anyway...

[quote name='Jase' post='458742' date='Apr 9 2009, 07:26 PM']Bill's the man, he could just chuck his bass down a flight of stairs and I'd love it [/quote]

[quote name='Golchen' post='453859' date='Apr 4 2009, 08:57 AM']I think that you only need one bass clef - at the 12th fret. Three is overkill and dilutes the idea.[/quote]

I totally agree with that

[quote name='Anthony Joseph Waczek III' post='458718' date='Apr 9 2009, 07:01 PM']hey there, i love my t-bird to bits, the only problem is the weight. ive dslocated my shoulder several times so after playing a while it aggrivates it :/

Anthony

Hey,
yeah the weight is a problem.
and the neck diving is does is a pain in the arse!
I even tryed moving the strap button to round the back (to reduce neck diving)
but then the whole bass tips forwards.

[quote name='The Funk' post='458634' date='Apr 9 2009, 05:55 PM']Intonation (literally meaning something like 'in tune -ness').

I'll check it out when I get home.[/quote]

[quote name='Marky L' post='458322' date='Apr 9 2009, 12:56 PM']What sort of cost is a standard re-fret (to a fretted bass)?[/quote]

Seems to be an average of around £120
unless theres extra work to be done.
just generally around that price.
