Apparently the newest one out is supposed to be very good but I have not heard it yet. Not heard of Vibraphonic I will check them out. Incognito are playing at O2 Indigo soon so I was thinking of checking them out - last time I saw them was the Everyday tour in 1997 I think!!! What stuff were you playing in the F&F? I think Ipso Facto are playing The Strand on August 14th and I am trying to get Zang Tang a few gigs in Cheltenham too. We played at The Norwood as part of the fringe of Cheltenham Jazz Festival and it was packed out I can honesty say that it was the busiest and best pub gig that I gave ever played. It was awesome! Yes I did get the GB Rumour and it is fantastic - few pics below for you and more in the GB Porn Thread! Mark[/quote] I bought the vinyl of in the the hand when it came out its lovely sunday afternoon relaxing funky soul,the instrumental track journey is my favourite but the vinyl came with a free acid jazz 12 inch of a song called free your mind which is excellent,the album was the best they did i wish they had stuck to that format with less hammond.

I will always love and miss those weirdos who got me into Zappa,thanks a lot i love you all,eventhough most of you were dealers or older people i met at partys. Now i am one of those people sorry kids!

Dave nicholson teachs lute in london now (Last thing i heard) taught me to improvise and jam rather than copy music,lost contact but wish him all the best,fantastic guitarist. I miss him loads.

The next bass i will buy will be one of these i prefer natural but blueburst would be next choice.

I love these but hate those scratch plates.

Shame the bass thing died i like hup the best,album wise,god that brings back early teen memorys.

Is it just a wall wart jack plug thing? look at the rating 9v dc etc and you can probably pick one up in a maplin or somewhere.

tony Hancock died in your country and you have fasntastic reefs so welcome man from down under.

Fantastic waxed jackets i have had mine 11 years now.Sorry couldnt resist.

Americans are the new Romans so dont f*** with them or you may find yourself in the arena! Hahahah.

I think you are blaming the the strings for your lack of funkiness,its frustration,keep at it and you will be a funky player,there is no magic formula,just enjoy your music,you really dont need to change your strings.From your previous threads you seem to think phrasing is very important,raw feel is far more important than all these learn to be a funky bass player tags. If you really want to be a funk bass player Anne Marie,you will seek out, listen to modern/old/rare soul and jazz and funk constantly,i firmly believe that you must actually be obsessed with this type of music to play it well(sorry but punk will have to take a back seat) This is what cuts it jobwise for a "funk" bass player.If you want a quick fix impro wise just play in dorian or mixolydian when you practice noodling at home you may come across a good funky pattern you can use.You must be actually into this genre of music to play it though.Sorry but knowing a couple of sly stone or james brown/jamiroquai/herbie hancock bass licks wont cut it! you have to be really into this type of music,look for rare stuff and get your finger ends like hard hitting pads.Boil the strings sweaty betty! Turning black eh? watch it doesnt drop off!

Does anyone have a transcription of heatwave doing boogie nights i cant find one anywhere,any help would be greatly appreciated.Cheers.

Cubase has alway been awful as is logic i also think protools is very overated,i use ableton live it has a lot more features than garageband,and is cool when using vst synths and things.

You need your bass set up,learn to do it yourself off the net or take it to a guitar shop where a tech can do it.

I couldnt justify spending 4 grand on a bass,not unless anybody had heard of me anyway.I think you can get the best playability and sound for a lot less.However if 4 grands pocket change go for it.

The pickup looks like a filteron.

I always get the impression john was so upset when fred died that it took him a long time to recover,he always comes across to me as just such a nice man,and is one of the most underated out there.

Now thats magic! Welcome to the buncobooth.

Could you not just get an inverter from maplin and use a 12 volt car battery?

[quote name='Bogey' post='487265' date='May 13 2009, 08:55 PM']Hi, I'm going to Liverpool tomorrow, and want to check out some musicstores with my brother (guitarplayer). Can someone tell me some shops I can check out? Thank you![/quote] Does your car have alloy wheels?

Im into a lot of sort of 60s 16th note groove and have tried a few types of foam i think a lot of those players from back then used mutes on the bass the bridge bells on the old fenders had them fitted,it does take a lot of the work out for fast 16th note runs.

I was wondering how many players on here use string mutes or at least something shoved under the bridge,would be interested to hear peoples views on this.

How often do you listen to the type of music that you want to play,it sounds daft but sometimes people forget to just listen, its very important.Works for me anyway.
