[quote name='alexclaber' post='266328' date='Aug 20 2008, 02:46 PM']I don't believe scales are the right place to start on bass. Instead, learn the basic arpeggios - major, minor, dominant 7th, minor 7th, major 7th, half diminished, diminished. If you're outlining a chord sequence that will help you far more than learning whole scales in each key. It's all about the root, third, fifth and seventh. You can do so much with those four basic notes. Alex[/quote] +1 - I'm teaching my "student" this at the moment and he's flying with it. He's started adding the scale tones recently and things are really slotting into place for him. He'd never touched a bass until April this year!

No regrets!

Sold subject to the usual. -
[quote name='Alastair' post='266228' date='Aug 20 2008, 12:41 PM']I know a few scales and theyre very useful but I prefer to just figure what works and what doesnt out by myself![/quote] Knowing scales and the interelationship of them makes the process of figuring out what works much easier and more pleasureable. I've done this from a before and after POV and it makes life so much easier and more creative. It's like trying to write poetry without knowing how to speak the language you're writing in if you don't know the theory.

[quote name='lowfer' post='266222' date='Aug 20 2008, 12:38 PM']what forum would you suggest bass man kev[/quote] Try the "Wanted Items" forum. -
[quote name='7string' post='263416' date='Aug 15 2008, 11:25 PM']It's similar to when Van Halen left Peavey for Musicman. Peavey took his name off the guitars, re-named them (to the Axis) and kept selling them.[/quote] Eddie left Musicman for Peavey and then when he left Peavey they rebranded too and kept selling as the HP model [i]and[/i] they rebranded the 5150 amp range too.

I admire the patience involved and the amount of self control. I would have had to have withdrawan from the gig as I know from experience that we have at least two band members that would have gone into psychomode before your "take 1".

I phoned him over a year ago (more probably) and was on for about twenty minutes (I wasn't paying!) I can't remember much of what we spoke about but he came over as a really warm guy and genuinely interested. He told me all about the yellow Stu Hamm bass in the photo on the ad I told him about the forum we have here and I did a thread on it but that might have been in the BW or BT days. He said he was going to check out the forum, I don't know if he ever did but I remember him saying that he looks at TalkBass regularly. If you've got money to burn, give him a call.

Reduced. This has to be a bargain for someone - it's immaculate. -
Pictures added today.

[quote name='mewsie' post='261649' date='Aug 13 2008, 03:55 PM']btw: i'm in the band big thanks to everyone![/quote] Well done, Mewsie! Thanks for posting the charts, guys. This popped up on the same day I was asked to learn it by my band; looks like this is the next Mustang Sally!

An amazing 410 cab ideally suited to rock and people who love a good puchy 4 x 10 that is built like a truck and delivers the goods in skip fulls. This GK 410 allows you to get the full power out of your GK head and is bi-ampable. The cab is a year old and is in excellent condition - it hasn't been used very much at all. I've found that the construction of these is extremely rugged and it has an amazing sound. Running my RB700II through this was fantastic and allowed me to get a great sound at any venue. Works great with other heads too - I ran my Ashdown ABM500 through it and that was fantastic too. It has large removable castors (plus a spare set) for easy transporting and all the specs can be found at [url="http://www.gallien.com/products_artist_ca_410rbh.html"]RBH410[/url]

A superb combo that I will be sad to see go. The reputation of these really does preceed them. The built in lock and roll wheels and handle system make it quite easy to handle for its weight. It's about 18 months old, has a lovely padded custom-made cover from amplifiercovers.com. These are £599 from Soundslive (and out of stock). [b]£400 [/b] Collected or meet halfway.

Now sold on evilbay to someone in France. -
Post-gig "hangover" symptoms (not booze-related!)
Sean replied to Captain Bassman's topic in General Discussion
I sleep like a log after a gig usually. Though when I wake up I feel a bit down, like there's something missing. Do I grieve the passing of the previous gig? Who knows? It certainly has some kind of emotional effect and I agree that that "hole" is very easy to fill with whatever is around, fortunately nowadays that's tea and marmite on toast. -
I always have a back up but you really can't argue with Stewart's logic. I carry a DI in case the rig goes pop which is more likely. I have seen quite a few string breaks over the years though fortunately never my own.

[quote name='molan' post='254884' date='Aug 4 2008, 10:10 PM']There's a 44-02 on EvilBay with a buy it now tag at £1,099. 5th string has to add a bit on top of course [/quote] The 44-02 is a Skyline, the 55-94 is a USA. Different animals. But I'd say around £1250 - 1500 would be right for a used USA 55-94 depending on condition, finish etc. Detailed explanation of skylive vs. USA here [url="http://www.lakland.com/skyline_vs_us.htm"]http://www.lakland.com/skyline_vs_us.htm[/url] Best comparison for prices is this [url="http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Lakland-55-94-bass-guitar-Quilt-maple-top-Exc-Cond_W0QQitemZ310071983285QQcmdZViewItem?hash=item310071983285&_trksid=p3286.m63.l1177"]http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Lakland-55-94-bass-g...p3286.m63.l1177[/url] Hope this helps.

[quote name='acidbass' post='196616' date='May 11 2008, 06:20 PM']Good question! I'd love to see a Who tribute band, having seen the original band a few times and always feeling that my ears don't hurt as much as they should afterwards [/quote] I think he might have those bits of tape to prevent earth buzz problems but saying that now he would have to have them at the top if he plays conventionally.

[quote name='MB1' post='252827' date='Aug 1 2008, 03:16 PM']MB1. Have you seen how much that one on EBAYs got to! [/quote] £151!!! Anyone on here buy it? Told you they were sought after. Could have bought that one in the link above and made a tidy profit.

A rare appearance of Amy & the Aviators in a pub. Beautiful setting up on the Gloucester - Berkley canal, good food, great ciders and think they even have beer (cold, pale, fizzy and warm, brown, flat types) for those who are of that persuasion. AATA are primarily a function band, fronted by the very sexy Amy J in her littleblack dress. The Aviators air crew perform their backing duties in full customised flying suits and deliver a hugely entertaining and polished show.

Quite a bit of interest but no one has followed through yet. Huge sounding bass, beautiful flame maple, superb quality.

[quote name='MB1' post='247246' date='Jul 24 2008, 08:31 PM']MB1. Hey Sean!....what tracks did the zend! use this for???[/quote] Dunno about the studio but he always used one live - it was mainly for the envelope filter sounds it has I believe.
-
Black for me.

I love mine it's great. Brilliant effects for what I use. Great backup DI and volume pedal is always useful as is the tuner, drum patterns and portability as a practise amp. Oh yeah and it's great as a soundcard/interface.

I know a lot of people who worship Stuart Zender go bananas for these things so I thought I'd alert you all to it. [url="http://www.stringsdirect.co.uk/products/3378-boss_me_8_bass_multi_effects_processor_ex_demo_"]http://www.stringsdirect.co.uk/products/33...cessor_ex_demo_[/url]
