Kate Bush is a genius. She was so original and had some fantastic musicians play behind her she pioneered a lot of experimenting in the studio mixing odd ethnic instruments And was one of the earliest people to use the Fairlight in her music.

Steve currie was probably the best player out of them all tbh.

Unless you are going for a cocked wah frequency thing which I thing sounds awful on bass but good on lead guitar,I would just go for an envelope filter and carefully dial in what you want. I just build a dod fx 25 from Internet schematic not boxed yet but its the nuts.

By unique writing i was talking about things from the earlier days such as the album Unicorn. Warlord of the royal crocodiles and such.

I think, If you want me to stay is one of his nicest.

I'm a big Bolan fan. I watched the live gigs on the born to boogie dvd and he was interesting but not a very accurate solo guitar player in fact sometimes he's just barely hitting the strings. Mickley Finn was just a bit of an eye candy accessory .I think,you have to remember TRex were originally designed to make money off teenage kids rather than be a really serious type of band and they were great at that. Steve Took however was a different kettle of fish on the early stuff and apparently was quite skilled. His later solo stuff wasn't bad either. I know he hung out with Syd barrett and Kevin Ayers aswell and played on their stuff. Just a shame the lifestyle got him really. Bolans song writing was unique and wonderful to me but he's a sort of love him or hate him type of musician I think.

I find the bounce has gone with lighter strings. They tend to rattle more as well with low action. I have girls hands so was surprised that they seem to help with lighter touch. It's a nice bonus that my six string guitar strings feels like playing air after working out on heavier strings. I have a feeling for the 70 80s funk and fusion that I tend to play is easier performed on non light strings. Think I got stuck in a Wooten trap.

After a major period of losing bass mojo and nearly given up I switched to heavier strings thinking I would try anything. Went to a regular guage and everything seems to be coming back. Anybody else had this? I always assumed lighter strings would improve my playing but using heavier seems almost easier like the bass is driving itself a bit.

Just a shame about the singing really.

After a couple of weeks of waiting i received my Sire M2 today. I have off loaded nearly all my basses as just do not have room and now have to spend money on things like energy and food. I'm now down to an Ibanez RG guitar and the Sire. I had a V7 but just hated the neck for some reason. After watching a couple of reviews i went for the Sire M2. I have to say this thing is incredible, the neck could have been made for me. The last luxury bass i had was a Streamer stage 1 which i loved but the sound and feel of this bass is easily up there and was 4 times less expensive. Its given me a new lease of bass life after a stale period of about 7 years!

Belew is amazing as is Thunes.

Get an Ibanez rg second hand you will fly around the neck. I challenge anyone to find a faster shallower stronger neck than the wizard neck. I know they arent as trendy looking as a fender but they are the best value you will find and so well built. It improved my playing ten fold.

Solicitors and Lawyers lovely people. Ian brady had one you know!

Glad someone finally acknowledged them. Boy George is a loudmouth and a really great guy. They were massive in the early 80s and the reason why? They were stinky poo hot musicians and very original. Read take it like a man by George. I couldnt put it down.

If you need asio drivers which are pretty much the best universal ones for low latency you can get them at asio4all. Just google it mate.

You can get by with less ram if you bounce down seperate tracks together to make one track and then reinsert this bounced down track. If however you had a high end vst synth running at the same time you are going to need quite a high end set up for most modern ones as they are Hungry.

Ableton is by far the best I think used it for years after protools just became an expensive pain in the derrière.

Most folks wont like this i think but I found it very generic and ended up skipping most of the wailing gospel bits. Sly was good though as always.

He needs to stop trying to sound like Lee Mavers.Its not working!

Yep would love moog vcf onboard my bass.lol.

The beast has already been unleashed years ago. They will never be able to reset this and it shows how out of touch they really are. On average no one will pay for something they can get for free.

It's a rompler playing bass samples.

Dont know how a few havent took that Gallagher bloke to court.

That Tom Paton bloke who managed was well dodgy. Does anyone know if they could play.Great trousers though. Poor Les got ripped off I think.

I read about the UK birds in Ronnie's book. Will have to give them a listen.
