when NZ is asleep? when isn't it?

many Kiwi's work in Sydney.
yes, because Australians wont

No cultural desert here... we are world leaders in all sorts of things specific to Dairy Farming.
You cannot raise Cattle in any form of Desert.

Christchurch eh...

L2 Steinberger surely...

Klystron and ABM cabs
hundreds of gigs with this...I think I got it in 1998 0r 1999

sounds like a proper Bass Amp to me
super reliable too...been a real good purchase.

yup, Neck Pick up only on the Fretless jazz when through my Valve amp
different in band setting obviously
but for home practice it is lovely getting that warmth.

yeah I thought they were Korean made too.
I had a B2A before I got a L2 Steinberger

the active switch is handy but does eat batteries
it was not a bolt on either so check that neck

only took double balls so you may want to consider this. also an arse to find a case

was that Larry?

Johnette on the Heads album with Tina Weymouth on Bass
"the damage I done" is mean beans

extra credit for having Shaun Ryder on the record given previous Caribbean hi-jinks.

I spend thousands of dollars to sound like the Sound Person's Bass player.

Joan Armatrading.

not only worked with Pino and Karn but wrote "Love and Affection"

Kate Bush, yes because technically we could add Prince, er so yes Joni Mitchell too.

crikey

Sadowsky DI is cool.
pinch of salt is I do not have a comparison of other similar units.

yes Mr Rourke is good value
I think there is a live version of The Draize Train on the album Rank

my favourite Smiths bass line is What Difference does it make
tone on Death of Disco Dancer is nice.

well being comfortable onstage sound wise is important but secondary to fully knowing the material you are going to be performing. If you have it down then by definition you should have a fun night.

I always bring a spare bass, if it's fretted No Worries!

Nice one OTPJ

Fender Jazz + Sadowsky Pre-Amp =

no, good points Grumble.

Guild Pilot re-issue is 35" and it was a better sounding 5 than any of the Warwick, Fender , MusicMan, Ibanez and Yamaha I tried against it. Put on a Graph-Tec nut and dropped some Bartolini's in approx 550 pounds in your money I got a 5 string I really like.

had mine for a shade over 10 years now
reliable and well gig worthy

not a hi-fi amp by any means.
I do not know why the pricing structure is different...maybe UK costs are higher and Ashdown give customers the option of supporting local labour content.

B.B.King - "Completely Well"

it's more than funky. Jemmott is King etc...gushing fanboy writes.

"that ketchup of the bass world ; Slapping"

"should you learn to read? ... should you not? really, should you actually choose to not read English?"

I do like AJ, I'm sure he is my appointed arbiter of public taste

Cool,

I thought the Gospel stuff was good business sense given America's spiritual tastes. To me it was preferable on a musical level than requests fro TAB of the Offspring or Nirvana.

AJ"s 5th Anniversary Op/Ed remains a highlight for sure.

I think Anthony Jackson wrote the best column for BP, it was fantastic stuff. This is why I liked Jim Roberts actually, man enough to let AJ hold forth.

John Goldsby, his section has been all learning goodness. I always read Jeff Berlin's column.

surely the most gushing of the writers was T Wichtor(?) I laughed at that letter about his unsung bass stylists..especially the one when it was not Bruce Thomas

Did not know that Johnston's Christianity had an effect on mag content? Maybe I have read your post wrong mate?

anyway for someone living near the asshole of the world Bass Player and Bassist Magazine were good value. Clearly less so today for BP but I would suspect that us the case for most subscribing members to any periodicals.

Mike I always comment when there are posts regarding a Male Musician's appearance
This is my part to make up the threads I do not post in where the biggest quantifier of a Female Musicians ability is her hair, knockers or all around "Hotness".

think his Wife was Ms Venezuela?
like seriously.

he might have got in trouble for butchering their National Anthem

hopefully this works.

yes, great band.
I like the fact they tried something different

and the Perfect Kiss video is my favorite track of N.O.

snap.

I quite like using the minor pentatonic on a major chord.
starting from the 6th...it's hardly groundbreaking or original but it sort of can open my ears sometimes.

also try it from the b3 on a DOMINANT chord...you might like this sound, altered like I guess.

I do think pentatonic sound good as is... I don't normally break them up.

I've had a Klystron Magnifier and ABM cabs for 10 years
I like woolly
these are bass amps
none of this hi-fi stuff

no issues with reliability. Given the hours I've played through this set up and the little upkeep required of them it's been a real bargain.

Kyle,

sometimes I do 9 chord arpeggios starting from the 3.
this helps me break up the ongoing issue of it's a C7 my first note is therefore C

so 3 5 b7 9 then
5 b7 9 10 then
b7 9 10 12 etc

maybe.
It depends on the day really.
I quite like large interval leaps so I might ignore this concept completely.
