If you just stick to the root notes and add small pentatonic fills for colour tones you should be fine,the main thing in a song like this is not to over complicate,Danny thompson also has no frets so has that droney sound which is more suited to folk music. I would reccomend getting hold of any pentangle albums basket of light is brilliant and taught me a lot about folk playing. Hope this helps mate, folk music is an exciting music and i think it is a genre which is often overlooked by bassists.Good luck.

Who makes the midi controlers are they built into the pickups?

Can you not just follow the root notes of the chords hes finger picking,theres enough of em. I think that tunes in DADGAD tuning.

Subtle is the way to use these effects otherwise it just sounds weird. If used right it sounds like a filter sweep tracking along with your playing. I always find they tend to thin my sound out though.

I think the guy has an excellent ear (bastard) He seems to pick up stuff very quickly.

Very talented man,hes danish isnt he? Must have a trip over these scandanavians have a very funky scene.

I bet it will end up not selling. Unless weller fancys a punt. Although i have heard he doesnt even send rick or bruce a crimbo card.

Plans turned up today.An officer and a gentleman.Thanks Al.

The price is a bit of a piss take.

I luv em! Fantastic,the reason i play bass.

One of the sweetest harmonic distortion pedals I have come across. The original (Ibanez) tubescreamers were seen by some as the holy grails of distortion stompboxes. Apologies for hijacking your thread! [/quote] Are you using transfer paper to do your pcbs or just an etch resistant pen,apparently you can use the iron method with staples photo paper,although i have not tried it yet.By the way cheers for those drawings al.

I got hold of the 1973 WattStax festival,which was supposed to be the soul version of wood stock there is some excellent footage of issac hayes and his crazy wah wah band.
