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='DarkHeart' timestamp='1363553888' post='2014099'] at the risk of being shot down how about Brad Russell? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5ZMaGex14kg [/quote] That's quite good actually

[quote name='Myke' timestamp='1363642563' post='2015277'] You got a link? this seems interesting [/quote] You're supposed to say "link plz"

[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

A bore of bassists

[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

[quote name='TimR' timestamp='1360447114' post='1970743'] It probably also depends on the size of cable and breaker running from the house. Two loud bands will be pulling a fair amount of current, add lights and you could get voltage sag which might account for loss in volume when two bands are in. All sounds a bit dodgy. [/quote] I'll have a word with the owner on Wednesday, I don"t fancy getting electrocuted even if it is only costing us £6 an hour.

[quote name='TimR' timestamp='1360435484' post='1970481'] Big shed? Is this an out building supplied from another building? If so it's likely that the building earth is suspect. Make sure you are using an RCD. £10 from B&Q that could save your life. [/quote] A big soundproof building split into two rooms, corrugated iron on the outside. I'm not too sure where the power comes from, probably the owner's house which is a few metres away but I couldn't really say. I was in the other room tonight and we were the only band in, I could hear myself just fine this time though.

[quote name='stingrayPete1977' timestamp='1360427176' post='1970212'] I could be anything from a faulty socket face even just one half of a double socket going back to possibly just the circuit the socket is on if the earth has come away somewhere or even no earth right at the beginning of the wiring so nothing in the whole place has an earth, so it could be anything really, certainly if you find one socket that works ok use that one for now and try the others once you have a tester. I dont supose you have one of those plug in RCD devices on your lawnmower or anywhere do you? That would be worth using for now if you or anyone else in the band has one, any DIY place would have a tester is there anywhere on route? [/quote] I don't seem have one in the house, there's a B&Q on the way though I'll have a look in there Cheers
