Its dead easy to fit a kill switch to your bass. I fit them to all my guitars.

Wish i could get a decent transcription of his playing on i can dig it baby by little beaver its the one on the portrait of Jaco album. I dont think we would have had Watt roy or Ian dury and the blockheads if it had not been for musical indulgences/masturbation like Jaco pastorius and other more off the wall musicians.

To everyone, we will still be playing all shows currently booked. If you know anyone who may be suitable, please send me a message. Thank god! I was worried for a moment.

I find i didnt get into him until i was good enough to at least play some of his stuff and understand how it fitted together,then it just flooded into me.I love his playing on little beavers "I can dig it baby" it sounds like jamerson on speed.

I grew out of heavy metal. I still like it if i need a boost, but really i find a lot of it childish especially comedians like death metal and grind core bands. They all go on about death and destruction and how everyone will pay, but these people are always the first to sh*t there kegs if anything really kicks off. The bass playing of these bands is boring to me. I find metal bassists boring compared to jazz funk and soul players.

Buy a used fender or squier. Your resale value will be sh*t if you dont buy a name people know. At least if you find another hobby you can get your money back.

[quote name='Linus27' post='406473' date='Feb 11 2009, 03:39 PM']I hate it, with their whinging and moaning and complaining about every other tom dick and harry. Plus that stupid man at the back with his guitar on his lap sliding a can of beer up and down the strings sounding like a cat giving birth. Don't they see he's just a lazy arse that can't be bothered to stand up like a real guitarists. Oh, and whats with all the tassles, boots and cowboy hats? Surely, nobody here likes country music here [/quote] Grow up!....Fast, you are older than me. Those f***ers invented it.

[quote name='Deep Thought' post='407204' date='Feb 12 2009, 01:01 AM']Yes, his early sound is apparently down to playing through a guitar cab with a torn speaker. I think by the Black and White era he had a few more quid and probably had decent amplification. He's used all sorts of stuff over the years, including Trace. Nowadays he's an Ashdown endorsee-recent pics from the current European tour show about four rack-mounted ABMs of some sort (Ashdown labs?), although they might be customs as I don't recognise them, with ABM 4X10's and what I think are 1X 15's or 1X 18's.[/quote] I did not realise you knew him.

You need to get a drummer who used to be an ice cream man as well.Good luck.

I didnt know there was a swinging scene in felixstowe me and mrs YouMa may have to try this. Any details? Are people from the shotley penninsula aloud to join?

turn your treble up, if you mean the sound on toiler on the sea and stuff you will need to rip your speaker cones so they flap a bit. Imnot joking. great bass player though.

[quote name='Hamster' post='407144' date='Feb 11 2009, 11:28 PM']Of the 3 you're considering I'd go for the Vintage V940 without any hesitation. You might also consider the Vintage V4 Precision copy - [url="http://www.jhs.co.uk/vintagebass.html"]http://www.jhs.co.uk/vintagebass.html[/url][/quote] I would not....You do want to be a rock,n,roll star dont you?....Groupies only know fenders.

squier/fender its the working mans tool.Go for one of these.

[quote name='pete.young' post='405789' date='Feb 10 2009, 10:56 PM']Far East Guitars occasionally have these in. For non-export models with US pickups, depending on condition they seem to be advertised around the £450 - £500 mark.[/quote] Yeah but that blokes well pricey,he takes his cut as well.

hhhmmmm.

Its like patting head andrubbing your stomach.

[quote name='bilbo230763' post='405291' date='Feb 10 2009, 01:57 PM']For anyone that knows his work, this is a real blow. [url="http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/entertainment/7880557.stm"]http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/entertainment/7880557.stm[/url][/quote] Gutted another one gone. One of latins finest,strange i was listening to latin funk group from the 70s earlier called black banda rio. Im sure ry cooder will be upset

[quote name='RayFW' post='404090' date='Feb 9 2009, 11:25 AM']I've tried but I just can't get into Tal's playing. If she looked like Kathy Staff she wouldn't have anywhere near the attention she does.[/quote] Yeah her playing does not hold much interest for me either.

Has anyone heard of a bass player called Jamil Joanes? He was in Banda Black Rio,if anyone can give me more info that would be cool,i cant find much on him on the net. Hes an awesome player.

Do you have an audere in the jazz? Hows that working out, Does it give loads of power.Im thinking about sticking a pre amp in a jap jazz.
