Price Drop Bump ! -
Guys I've added another set of sound samples of the bass due to people wanting single takes of different settings and EQ. So, I've done exactly that ! https://soundcloud.com/ml94/sets/rim-5-string-pj-sound-samples

[quote name='giblett123' timestamp='1406264338' post='2509875'] A quick correction on the pickups Manraj... I originally ordered it with The RIM pups but swapped to these (before it was finished) which are Nordstrand NPJ5's, the sound biblical!! [/quote] No wonder everyone was confused ! I mention the Nordys in the first post but I didn't read the specs you had written on the build diary :$ (It's a bad copy n paste job Lol)

[quote name='bassgurumonster' timestamp='1406186969' post='2509066'] What trades you want? [/quote] Should've stuck it on the post! Mainly looking for a Fender Jazz, preferably 3TS or anything else 'Jazzy'

could someone please delete this thread. I have double posted somehow ? -
Hi guys, I'm definatley putting this up for sale now as I have something that I really want! I am the second owner of this bass, first being Giblett123 who got this built. It is in immaculate condition, no nicks or dents anywhere. It is pretty light for a 5 string. It has a beefy P pickup and punchy J pickup. That's what you get with these Nordys and the preamp lets you dial in anything you want, literally. Setup with low action and strung with med light D'Addarios. The specs - [color=#282828][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif]34" scale bolt on with 19mm string spacing at the bridge.[/font][/color] [color=#282828][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif]Body: Ash with Myrtle wood top and no pickgurard (see the pics of the wood and template shape below) with gloss finish[/font][/color] [color=#282828][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif]Neck: Maple 3 piece flame/rock/flame.[/font][/color] [color=#282828][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif]Board: Bird eye maple with 12" radius and rolled edges, 24 frets[/font][/color] [color=#282828][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif]Side dots: blue luminlay.[/font][/color] [color=#282828][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif]RIM Jazz headstock with myrtle facing, Hipshop ultralite tuners in black[/font][/color] [color=#282828][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif]Hipshot type A bridge in black[/font][/color] [color=#282828][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif]Nordstrand PJ5 pickups in a 70's jazz position[/font][/color] [color=#282828][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif]East U-retro deluxe preamp[/font][/color] [color=#282828][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif]Weight: 9.8lbs (weighed on a normal scale and flat surface)[/font][/color] [color=#282828][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif]Original build thread - [/font][/color][url="http://basschat.co.uk/topic/152132-rim-jazz-bolt-on-5/page__p__2385514__hl__giblett__fromsearch__1#entry2385514"]http://basschat.co.u..._1#entry2385514[/url] [attachment=167424:IMG_0530.JPG] [attachment=167425:IMG_0531.JPG] [attachment=167426:IMG_0532.JPG] [attachment=167427:IMG_0533.JPG] [attachment=167428:IMG_0535.JPG] [attachment=167429:IMG_0537.JPG] If there are any other questions just stick them on here or PM me. (Also comes with a hard case) Sound Samples - [url="https://soundcloud.com/ml94/sets/rim-5-string-pj-sound-samples"]https://soundcloud.c...j-sound-samples[/url] I've done these quick samples again as some people have been in touch and said that they'd prefer single takes with different pickup configuration and EQ Settings. So, I've done exactly that. Again, these were quick takes ! You are all welcome to try the bass if you wish just PM me when you'd like to arrange a time/date. Delivery estimate (insured) comes to approximately £35. If anyone is wondering postage fees. Trades - Fender Jazz preferably 3TS, maple neck (4 or 5). Or anything else really. (Must be a jazz)

It is in immaculate condition, no nicks or dents anywhere. It is pretty light for a 5 string, don't know how much exactly but it weighs a lot like my old fender jazz which was 8lbs. I'll also put some sound samples on if requested. It has a beefy P pickup and punchy J pickup. That's what you get with these Nordys and the preamp lets you dial in anything you want, literally.

Not Selling!

One of the most beautiful bass lines ever crafted (Hope that didn't sound wierd....)
-
Definitely hit the nail on the head with that first link! I guess my mind does wonder off when playing and starts to think about what the audience are thinking etc. Like you said Ambient, it comes with experience, I hope this is the case as I haven't played for a long time and as for gigging even less and less. I'm off to Leeds college of music this september to study Jazz and I'm anxious that I'll be the only one there who is rubbish lol! Some real good advice chaps! Thanks!

Hey Guys, So recently I've been playing quite a few gigs with a large turn out (100+) well for me anyway and the thing I've noticed is that whenever I do play I always end up playing the easy way ... What I mean by this is that I won't take certain risks. We all know that we shouldn't go off on one when all we need to do is hold the low end but it's when I'm doing a jazz set or something of the sort. I can solo at home with confidence and pretty much hear all the ideas in my head and transfer them on the bass but as soon as I get in front of a crowd it's a different story. Things like playing the same licks or knowing that this ____ will definitely work so I should play it instead of playing what I hear in my head! In a groove context (holding the low end) I will pretty much again play it safe. I won't express myself in fear of making mistakes ... For some reason this 'feeling' won't go away and it's driving me up the wall ! Oh and am I being paranoid that everyone is listening to me or has this happened to some of you and how did you overcome it? Thanks! ML

Best apps for creating a setlist and storing sheet music
ML94 replied to ML94's topic in General Discussion
I've found igigbook to become my most used app! Scan in or upload the PDF files that contain music, create notes on the spot, create a set order and you can even assign backing tracks to the dots you have (haven't used that yet!). It's a doddle to use but does come with a hefty (for me) £10 price. But is worth every penny! -
Best apps for creating a setlist and storing sheet music
ML94 replied to ML94's topic in General Discussion
Brilliant suggestions guys. Will definitely look into these. Cheers! -
Hi guys, I've got a lot of PDF's printed out that I lug around from band to band and now it's just getting a little tedious. I've got an iPad and know that some people use an App for creating a set list from there PDF's or JPG's. Could someone reccommend me a set list app which will allow me to import my PDF, JPG and name the music so I don't have to search for hours where it's gone. Easy and user friendly and that will skip pages ASAP on stage lol

Hi guys, I've mistakenly bought the round wound version strings from thomastik and wanted the flatwounds. So I would be delighted if someone would trade the flats for rounds. 5 string set only please guys. if not I'll sell for 45 which is fair enough pm if interested

Hi guys, I'm looking for some kind of melodic dictation software or online programme. The one from Teoria is great but the amount to work out is 6 bars ... I'm looking for something which has 2 bars of missing melody. If it helps I'm doing this for an A level exam and really wanted to up my hearing as the dictation part is worth quite a bit of points! Anyone have any ideas?

Would this be a good starting bass for someone who's going to learn playing upright ? -
I'd be happy to start creating/sharing them once my exams are done and dusted !

[quote name='bluesparky' timestamp='1400636746' post='2455720'] Slightly off topic here, I've bought a few of these: [url="http://www.coffeebreakgrooves.com/"]http://www.coffeebreakgrooves.com/[/url] I find them great for general practice and also for preparing for an exam (e.g. RGT or Trinity Rock 'n Pop etc). They're not cheap and I'm sure it's not TOO hard to for one to produce something of a similar ilk, but I sadly don't have the time to do that and they're just what I need. [/quote] I saw this recently after jamming along to some on Youtube. What I've noticed is, they give the chord charts for every album for free ! What this means is someone who's broke like me can actually programme it into Logic or BIAB and create my own 15 minute backing tracks without having to purchase all the albums ! Brilliant !

Preparing for jazz workshop - advice needed
ML94 replied to project_c's topic in Theory and Technique
I think internalising and finally 'hearing' what you practice just takes time. Right at the start of my Jazz 'beginnings' I forced myself to listen to the chord tones, creating chord tone based melodies/phrases over II-V-I's. Over time I started to incorporate these ideas in my own playing, fitting them into little lines I create and now my playing sounds more melodic than when I began. Some things just don't come that quick and some do. Everyones different.
