I dont think you can teach feel.I love funksouljazzreggae bass and stuff like that,the emotive force behind that style of music makes me go crazy,i can feel this music in the way i walk and commnicate every day of my life.I like iron maiden but steve harris never moves me to tears even though he is an awesome player,im sure he moves some people this much though,its different strokes for different folks.

Its easy mate just get inside the back of the thing carefully! Go to maplin and buy some switch cleaner make sure the straw is on the can,put a towell under the back of the pots/knobs then squirt cleaner into each pot and twist the knob back and fourth.

Cmon chas n dave fans i really need this!

I will cover the postage, but I would prefer not to do any other kinds of paying, since I can't afford anything atm haha. [/quote] I have a 1973 fender jazz bass that is going on the tip if you are interested.Just email me at cheekygypsy.com.

He is an amazing bass player!

Long shot and not very cool,i dont know why though . Can anyone/geezer give me a transcription of rabbit by chas n dave? I love this blokes bass playing and i think he is very underated.Cheers.

Taco bell would do me.

[quote name='andy67' post='559078' date='Aug 3 2009, 11:20 AM']I tend not to look at the mantle piece when the bass is being poked!! [/quote] How could you not look at his fine muskateers haircut?

Wish i had a fine 80s coiffure like that,im jealous of his lusterous locks.

[quote name='RhysP' post='559036' date='Aug 3 2009, 10:41 AM']He gets quite a nice sound out of that ironing board....... [/quote] Why doesnt he just get a guitar? To many strings for me.

God what is it with americans and bad 80s lions mane hair.He is a good player though.

41! im 135 you whippersnapper.

[quote name='Bo Millward' post='556133' date='Jul 30 2009, 12:22 PM']I'm starting this thread with the hope of compiling a valuable resource for the bass playing community. We all know how frustrating it can get when searching for your ideal tone, so wouldn't it be sick, if there was a f*** off encyclopaedia listing the rig's of every one's favourite bass players? So instead of spending endless days trying to find the tone you’re after, you could just have a mooch and find out the exact gear you need to get a certain players tone. As well some analysis of their playing style, you know a look and there technique and approach to the instrument. Let’s do it then! <snip> Alex Katunich; (born August 18, 1976) is the former bassist of Incubus. <snip>[/quote] Sorry he dont do jack sh*t for me.

Id go with a fender jazz over an ibanez anyday. Its all down to taste really i suppose,ill agree about jazz necks but i dont want to be overcrowded higher up. Plus fender have class,ibanez make good quality guitars though.

Id rather read take a break,than NME, bring back melody maker.

Usually its jazz basses i find but there are others,the geddy lee jazz is very thin necked.

He taught me on his video for learning bass,but being stoners at the time me and my best mate used to just take the piss out of him,until he did his seriously funky slap cop chase solo at the end,jools holland introduced the video. Happy daze

He still teaches i think,he used to be in the back of the uk bassist magazine.

they are all on youtube if you have a look. Deidre with her synth axe and the very shy and excellent henry thomas with his bass.

I have the lola vocaloid its quite a good laugh,but it still sounds like a machine.

Run them through a DAW that has normalization of audio files on,something like wave lab or similar would do it or any sample manipulation program. You can then set the normalization level and run each mp3 through and save each normalized track. That way the tracks will all come out at the same level. . Adobe audition was cool edit pro i think so it should have a normalization feature somewhere.

I always think im getting good and some bastard blows me out the water. Sometimes i wish you tube had not been invented,ive just got a norman watt roy bass line nailed and now i have to learn this.

Village green preservation society for me,lovely album,ray davies is a fantastic song writer,i never realised dave was on the other bus though.Quite a shock.

[quote name='dood' post='552544' date='Jul 27 2009, 12:53 PM']I used to play the ''hook' synth and bass part from "Hard, Better, Faster, Stronger" with a synthy sound on my 6er. You need the high C for the last few notes.. but it sounds GREAT and you have to jump up the neck quickly to catch it on time.[/quote] HHmm it looks like i will need a bass with more strings than 4.
