Judo Chop

I bought an OC-3 pedal off Nick, quick and painless and a nice guy to deal with

I can sing, chat to the drummer and pick up his dropped sticks without missing a note. As long as the note in question is a constant open E

Spacehog - In the Meantime has a nice bassline to it, give that a go

[quote name='bartelby' timestamp='1364224660' post='2023403'] I use 3 fingers, use Billy Sheehan's technique using 1st, Index and Ring finger in order. So for semiquavers: 1-In-R-1 In-R-1-In R-1-In-R 1-In-R-1 it takes a bit of time to not just go 1-In-R-In 1-In-R-In 1-In-R-In 1-In-R-In [/quote] Isn't the index finger your first finger, the pointer?

How will the winner pay for this fine item?

[quote name='MiltyG565' timestamp='1363641367' post='2015236'] Maybe so, and that's why God invented Ultimate-Guitar.com. [/quote] Fair point with the more well known songs, but some bands just aren't on there. There's about five or six Stone Roses bass tabs on the various sites, and some people's tabs aren't available at all like David Bowie. I wonder why that is? He's pretty popular

Maybe they can't be arsed working it out by ear? Maybe they just don't have the skill to listen to a song and figure the part out, or the desire/ time to learn how to?

What do you mean by gunslinger?

Christ, he really is a tit isn't he.

[quote name='BigRedX' timestamp='1362913361' post='2006025'] The only thing that matters is how it sounds and feels in the context of the complete finished track. Everything else is irrelevant. Where do these isolated tracks come from? Are they authorised by the band or leaked from tapes/digital sessions? [/quote] I know that some of them have been ripped from Rock Band or Guitar Hero discs somehow, not sure about the ones not featured in those games

[quote name='MiltyG565' timestamp='1362551580' post='2001098'] The way that you know it? [/quote] And that's what makes a hit

Www.songsterr.com Not always the most accurate tabs, but you can play them back to hear what they should sound like

[quote name='lojo' timestamp='1361382695' post='1985114'] KiOgon on here just made me one of these for my pj project I love the simplicity of 2 stacked pots, plus it keeps the p bass look. I do need to slightly widen the cavity to fit the pots in from what was there before [/quote] Are you doing it all yourself or taking it to a luthier?

New knobs and a three way switch

[quote name='Mornats' timestamp='1361109741' post='1981127'] Cheers, I've found them elsewhere, it's just unusual that DV don't have any listed on their website any more. (Not that I'd order a Fender unseen due to their shoddy QC of course.) [/quote] I made that mistake last year, I ordered a Precision from Dawson's website and the truss rod hole was rusted and rounded off

[quote name='lowdowner' timestamp='1360568200' post='1972294'] No - the point is that Paul *specifically* asked for these records and knew who james jamerson was - he knew him by name and followed his work.There is little evidence that other bands did this kind of research. Paul wasn't just a 'listen along' player just because everyone else did: part of his 8-10 hours a day in the studio was research. He would usually be the first to arrive to a recording session and the last to leave. His influenced and influential bass lines are then copied and strewn across other bands' work - sometimes almost unchanged. The roll call of famous musicians (not just bass players) is huge. He had decided to take his craft seriously, and as a result a lot of his work was cutting edge. Good examples are tracks like 'Rain' where his neckwork (quite high and chordal) was very new for the time. His more 'traditional' lines were also pretty radical - like 'Taxman' which seems really simple, but playing it shows some very technical shifts just because of the speed. [/quote] I think that 'Rain' and 'Taxman' have quite similar basslines, he seemed to like that little shape on the fretboard, even 'Come Together' can be played using the same position and uses the same notes
