[quote name='seashell' timestamp='1408131941' post='2527536'] So glad I'm single. The cat doesn't care what I buy as long as I have enough spare cash for her Felix Ocean Feasts. [/quote] Single?....and a cat lover???...Stay right there my dear I'm on my way....*waggles eyebrows* Oh..wait....The wife says I have to mow the carpet.....again... so sorry.

Seems to me that pleasing the suits is more more important than being able to play. Sad.

Well, I've [i]heard[/i] of Pino.........

[quote name='BigRedX' timestamp='1406659411' post='2513536'] What bothers me most about this, is that there appears to be a weird unwritten rule that states the bass should automatically match whatever tuning the guitarist is using, when a lot of the time there is no real need and often the fact that the two instruments can't easily double the parts could actually lead to some more interesting harmonic ideas. [/quote] I kinda get what you mean there, to play Sweet Child o Mine I just downtune my E and leave the rest in standard tuning, both guitarists whinge at me cos they cant get their head around my only retuning 1 string. Every time they look at my hands for visual cues they get confused. precious little darling's!

Joined my 1st band after 3 months of playing, back in 2002, I learned their 4 original songs and did those, plus Bon Jovi 'Its My Life' as an encore, kept jumping on and off the stage as they peppered those songs all around the setlist....I was 42 and terrified!

Our guitarists son, set himself up as a session drummer for hire via t'interweb and has got commissions from all over the World, and he has been touring with a band called the Chip Shop Boys who has Scott Mills from radio 1 opening for them last week. https://www.facebook.com/ChipShopBoys/photos/a.10151893143459528.1073741826.6232534527/10152603796859528/?type=1&theater https://soundcloud.com/steve-lees/time.

Curved Air - Air Cut, its on every device I have, still listen to it regularly, since 1973. But also Focus - Focus III, another cracking album! Jethro Tull - Bursting Out Genesis - Seconds Out Yes - Relayer, Going for the One, Tales from Topographic Oceans

[quote name='julietgreen' timestamp='1406041185' post='2507770'] The Bass White Pages version is pretty close. [/quote] Might take a look at this book, Amazon seem to do it.

[quote name='julietgreen' timestamp='1406046324' post='2507841'] Be kind to the sound guys. [/quote] This....definitely this!!

No worries, it was just a thought

[quote name='allighatt0r' timestamp='1406035344' post='2507693'] I could never improvise anything worthwhile, so I learnt it note for note from the record by ear. [/quote] Nice, don't suppose you ever wrote it down in some form or other? my improv isn't exactly stellar either

[quote name='Norris' timestamp='1406027168' post='2507570'] Never wear a waistcoat. That ship sailed decades ago. A hat is optional, but wear with caution. Most people look like a prat in a hat.

[quote name='allighatt0r' timestamp='1406030418' post='2507616'] The bassline under the solo in Are You Gonna Go My Way is epic, took me ages to get that right when I used to play it in the old band. [/quote] Makes me feel lazy that comment, I just begin each line with the E-D-E-D motif and riff the rest! Closest I ever get to a bass solo!!

sounds like you had fun

Big Yes to Radar Love, a staple in our set although the drummer hates it. ALWAYS gets the crowd up. Just started doing Fool For Your Lovin' in the original G too, lovely chugging bass line to play.
