The whole point of the rail-based pickup was you could adapt it for so many different bass sounds just by sliding the pickup along the "rail." Such a simple idea, but very effective. I've been waiting for one to come up for sale on here for a long time now. It will come...[/quote] Cant think why this sliding pickup thing never really took off shame really.

My uncle took me to see the stones at st james park in 88 or 89 anyway it was the urban jungle tour,i was near the exit gantry and saw them close up it was like they werent real,they seemed to wear a lot of make up as well.Awesome.

Awesome synths worth a lot now prophet 5s were one of the first to have MIDI.

id say its definately an analog synth i can tell by the way the arpeggiator is set.

Dont go for an optical one get a mechanical one like a vox,burton used a guitar wah not a bass one as far as i am aware.

I'm listening to Jamaican reggae band "the Gaylords" this morning because someone posted a Spotify link reminding me of their existence. It was Big Fish yesterday [/quote] Im a gaylords fan to.

Is it not the guy who played with the thompson twins,who used to be hidden behind a screen when they played,or was that don estes? it could be him.

Yep it was very common,even the beatles did it,and discovered flanging in the process.

I think there is notation on www.thebassment.net.

I always thought hartke ali cones looked sharp.

Outrageous!! band. John Taylor is so underated,bear in mind folks he was the apprentice the master (edwards) took on board!! More shags than the beatles,i love em,plus ones from whitley bay!! What more could you want. Lets go to the air race boys! my lovejoy dvds are going on tommorow.

kING IS KING

Get hold of the set list and listen to the tunes constantly through the week.

I believe there is a company called studiospares that used to do this try googling.

Can anyone show me how to play charlemagne right then?

I can play most of it but Kid Charlemane always nobbles me,cant buy a thrill is a superb album,it always makes me want to move to california.

Even the simple stuff! everything this man touches turns funky.

Hes looking very skinny back then.What year did he start to get into pies?

Is your singer an american?

The band is called Driller, and so true to the name we want to make an intro that is a mixture of building site pneumatic drill and electric drill sounds which can then merge into the note of our first song (which starts on D flat). Anyway I thought there must be someone on here that will know how you could make an intro like this!? And then once we've made one, how would we play it back just before we go on stage and play the first song!? Cheers in advance! Silky[/quote] Sony acid pro could do this you would need to drop the samples next to a sample of an instrument playing a chord in d flat then pitch adjust the drill sample until it is in tune with this.
