Way ahead of the curve

No but I have really enjoyed hearing world class bass players like mononeon , Tim Lefebvre and Nick Campbell banging through wedding tunes and doing their thing ( and I've nicked lots of licks)

Not sure what you mean, do you mean she plays it on a different part of the neck to bootsy , I thought the vid wasn't really a proper accurate transcription vid but an overview of bootsys approach and thought it put that across well

Alan "Snoop" Evans killin it with Fred Hammond Check the lick at 20secs

2nd hand chowny chb ? Great instruments for the money , I picked one up cheap on here , really impressed with it

Possibly the very bass in question, intonation isn't perfect but I've got close enough by moving the bridge around having wound the threads up just above flush

Yeah spot on mate , swapped the string and problem solved , previous owner had the bridge a good 1cm to far forward Re. the bridge, thanks for that , I thought as much ,didn't seem right with the threads sticking out

Yeah I'll take pics , now I've measured the bridge position it was too far forward so I wonder if the string is duff cos previously the spot that was on the saddle is now part of the vibrating string?

Got my chowny chb2 that's the 34" one out today and started messing with the action and now the G has got a mad phasing double note quality to it, should the threads that the circular adjusters go on be up inside the lower part of the bridge cos before they were slightly proud and have marked the top so I thought it that doesn't seem right so moved em up inside

Love this guy , saw him on that sbl brazil vid and checked him out, awesome

Check the solo at 2.35 absolutely stunning, one of my favourite players, Unbelievably I first heard about seth when he depped for me in a ropey function band! Look at him now

Wow beautiful playing

It's why I've got 10 odd basses

I think of scammers as faceless untraceable characters but an actual bloke I have mutual fb friends with makes my blood boil

I can't believe this silly man is doing this under his own name while already in trouble, surely his band mates know? What a silly man

You could map out the structures ,not to read but to get a sense of the form then count like mad til it becomes internalised

I'd never heard of Sean Malone so googled him and have just finished listening to the whole of Focus , amazing bass playing and wow what an influential ahead of it's time album , I'm not a metaler particularly but I loved it , RIP Sean,

MonoNeon blows my mind

I find cos of where the strap button is on semi basses it pushes the neck further away so I'd wonder if shorter scale would be negated by where the basses sits on your body ? I've got a rivoli which I love the sound of but rarely gig cos on a strap it feels like the nut end is a long way away

For me standards are the show tunes of the 20s 30s 40s that became the repertoire jazz musicians used , to apply it to current cover band rep doesn't make much sense to me Re. Preacher man Tommy Cogbill goes nuts on that, he started as a jazz guitarist , it's interesting how much his approach varies, from just laying it down on Aretha's Chain of Fools to soloing with a plectrum over the choruses of Elvis's I'm moving on

I agree with the rest of your post about dangerous far right stuff being given oxygen by the media and Morrissey has said some pretty abhorrent stuff but I listen to radio 4 alot and I've never heard anything like what you've mentioned here , got any examples?
