I have the full collection of the defunct Bassist Magazine and was thinking of scanning all the transcriptions into one pdf document - there must be over hundred transcriptions, with a wide range of artists, so it will make a cool collection.
Once I've done this, is there anything (in terms of copyright/legal stuff) to stop me e-mailing the collection to anyone that wants a copy of the file?

Can someone post a link to something official about this proposal? I've never heard of it I work quite closely with licensing authorities. I'm a little suspicious.

MXR Bass Blowtorch does a great gated synthy-fuzz sound when you push it to the more extreme settings. Can get a great sound for both Hysteria and Starlight.

PM'd re AF-9

Check the quality use of palm muting in Knights of Cydonia. Great stuff. Solid as a rock.

Top bloke - kept me in the loop, pedals arrived very promptly. Highly recommended!

[quote name='Rich' post='298478' date='Oct 3 2008, 10:51 AM']Let's Dance - Bowie
The bassline IS the song (apart from the vocal line). AND it's got Stevie Ray on it. Superb tune and, being Bowie, as cool as feck.[/quote]
Another Bernard Edwards' bassline, if I'm not mistaken? -
My take on the original poll was that 'who's your top bassist' meant 'favourite', or who influenced you most. Terms like 'best' are complete nonsense in this context.
-
1. Bernard Edwards
2. Duff McKagen (the reason I bought my first bass at 16 was GnR)
3. Flea
These are the ones who have influenced me most in the important early years. Rutger Gunnarsson (ABBA) is in 4th place, but only just. -
Duff McKagen's use of chorus is pretty good with GnR. Slightly cheesy rock song, but I love the sound of his chorus-y bass line in You Could Be Mine:

Funnily enough, I've just ordered one! Will let you know how it pans out - has good reviews over at TB.

This is a great little tribute to Chic and Bernard:

[quote name='sk8' post='280852' date='Sep 10 2008, 08:03 AM']initial thoughs are good. Its a neat desing and the hard case looks like it will survive a nuclear winter! Its also got room for my shuttle footswitch and leads and cables in the case too.[/quote]
Where did you order yours from, may I ask? -
Check out Gallien Krueger; maybe the 700RB-II (480w), or 1001RB-II (700w). Powerful lightweight amps, and not too expensive.
-
Just the one! Needs to be a 3.5mm jack at either end by the looks of things, one end being positive tip for the compulator...
May I place an order?! -
Hi there,
Anyone know where I can obtain a power cable to run from a Dunlop DC Brick to a Demeter Compulator, which I believe requires a positive tip jack.
Cheers,

You're the One That I Want - Grease (John Travolta & Olivia Newton-John)
What a truly great bassline! - anyone know who played it? -
Someone will have a bargain here....i have the 1001RBI, 2nd hand...cost me £300. Great amp.
-
Well, received my £85 EBS Octabass pedal within 3 days of ordering. Pretty good really.
-
Bass centre currently has some cheap deals on EBS pedals...http://www.basscentre.com/categories.asp?cID=16
Have ordered an Octabass - will be interested to see how long it takes to arrive. -

Magazine transcriptions
in General Discussion
Posted
Ha ha...I'll see what I can do. I was just gonna e-mail them out for free - there's no intention from profiting from it or anything. I'd love to know the offical legal position though - any lawyers out there?
I remember that towards the end of Bassist magazines run there were a lot more transcriptions that were done 'In the style of...', which were a sort of pastiche of a song. So I guess they had their own copyright/permission issues themselves.
