I'd love to be a house bassist. Electronica is the closest that I've got. House music has some superb basslines.

Learning a new technique always helps when I hit a wall. Just now it's double thumbing.

Yup. I'm getting folk music with chainsaw guitars. Maybe Kris Dreaver meets GWAR?

Another tight result. Good winning track! Was a tough call to choose who to vote for too.

I'm gonna have a look at the Roland. Sounds like it might fit the bill.

If you have a mac, open Garageband (or Logic) & you can take a drummer track & transport it into a midi track. Another great place for loops of all sorts is wikiloops.

I've looked at both the Blackjack & the Apogee Duet. The blackjack sounds good, but it does lose out on the midi. The apogee is too dear for me.

If it wasn't so far away, I'd be there in a shot.

That doesn't sound like fun. Good that you've gotten through it & you sound like you're ready to build your life back.

[quote name='the boy' timestamp='1445932273' post='2895412'] Totally agree. There were some outstanding interpretations. [/quote] +1 I've still got Skol's to listen to, but what I've heard so far from the entries has been nothing short of superb.

Brown paper bag is fun to play on the lekky bass. Try it & see if it works. How about a bit of Morcheeba? Hard to choose one song though. +1 to Bjork. Army of me has a cracking bassline & if you've got a dirt & filter pedal (with expression), then you can have even more fun.

Turning Japanese by The Vapors. No points for guessing.

Other than the intro, the main body of the song is root notes with incidentals. When it first came out, I had the album & the book of score to go with it. Used to be able to play the whole album from start to finish on the bass.

How do you get on with the rest of the band? Have you discussed it with them to see what they want to do? Why don't you & the singer start a side project with another guitarist & then after a couple of weeks ask the keys player to join & then invite the drummer a week later. Slowly displacing the old band. I did this in a previous band.

[quote name='the boy' timestamp='1445675434' post='2893240'] Yes you are right. I'll try and do it tomorrow morning. [/quote] Of course I'm right. The only time I'm not right is when I try to tell the wife I'm right!

It's not a riff, it's hi hats. When the guitar comes in doing the 8th chug & then roll them off again when the guitar stops. Saying that, I like it how it is. Nice work.

I always found for the input gain, play whatever you play loudest (usually plectrum or slap) & increase the input gain until it clips, then back it off a touch.

You've both sold it to me! I'm gonna have a listen after work. Edited as there is now another entry that sells too!

[quote name='Grangur' timestamp='1445271769' post='2890130'] Just as well you don't live in Wales then,,, [/quote] I tried that. The sound had too much of a mid hump for my liking.

I lay mine down & line it up with this...

Cheers for that. I enjoy remixing & been wanting to try some video to music, so this is right up my alley. I don't hold any hopes of winning as I think that's more likely to go to someone who knows what they're doing with video & audio. But it's the fun that counts for me.

I changed mine a couple of years ago because I snapped a string. I play flats, so hopefully I'll not need to change them for a good few years.

Find a good paint supply shop. They should be able mix your colour to match the bass.

It's an old Piaf number but there's a modern Latin feel version by Zaz that absolutely makes me grin each time I play this on acoustic guitar. 2) Ya mo be there (on bass) I guess it's just the groove on this one. [/quote] That's a very similar bassline to I Can't Go For That, which is another song I enjoy playing.
