  1. Never let someone pay using PayPal and then collect it. You're leaving yourself open to be ripped off. PayPal need a track able means of shipping.
  2. I got this text a while back from a drummer in a jazz band that I dep for. [attachment=222560:12651023_466263476915252_8043306969545913635_n.jpg] I've been told a few times by people that they know I can play pretty much anything, as long as I have a chart/score in front of me. Bare in mind that I prefer to do reading gigs, cos I'm too lazy to learn stuff, that's pretty good I guess.
  3. I've done some shows at Birmingham Rep. I just went straight into a DI box. For my one experimental project I just go into my MacBook via an Apogee One, the line out from the Apogee goes straight to the PA.
  4. [quote name='ped' timestamp='1467278972' post='3082425'] No doubt a great piece of history but I think it's one of the fugliest basses I've ever seen! [/quote] I was worried I was alone 😄
  5. It;s good practice to transcribe other instruments, not just bass. Something I did a couple of years ago was transcribe piano parts. That really helps with hearing intervals. Bill Evans and Robert Glasper etc, it's a bit frustrating to start with, but very rewarding. At uni we had to do drum parts too.
  6. Why do you need to be so loud in a rehearsal ?
  7. An excellent, and very easy, hassle free transaction .
  8. They have that effect on me too. I think they could actually produce a really good album, if they put their minds to it.
  9. Did you really need to go through the pa ?
  10. This is in excellent condition, and works faultlessly. It's a little too heavy for me though. £100 including UK shipping.
  11. This is just a couple of months old, and is in as new condition. I still have the box and all packaging, instructions etc. It's an amazing keyboard, the action is extremely similar to a 'real' piano. I've tried several other keyboards, and this is by far the best. Some details :[list] [*][font=tahoma,geneva,sans-serif][size=3][b]Performance-grade 88-note hammer-action keybed with 4 selectable velocity curves provides natural feel and playing response, plus on-board pitch bend and modulation wheels for expressive performances[/b][/size][/font] [*][font=tahoma,geneva,sans-serif][size=3][b]8 MIDI-assignable knobs, 9 MIDI-assignable 60 mm faders, 9 MIDI-assignable buttons for controlling DAW parameters, virtual instruments and more.[/b][/size][/font] [*][font=tahoma,geneva,sans-serif][size=3][b]6 dedicated transport controls for comprehensive DAW control without reaching for the mouse[/b][/size][/font] [*][font=tahoma,geneva,sans-serif][size=3][b]Innovative DirectLink automatically maps controls to popular DAWs including Ableton Live, Pro Tools, Logic, Cubase and more.[/b][/size][/font] [*][font=tahoma,geneva,sans-serif][size=3][b]Class compliant, plug-and-play functionality and USB powered specification for simple user-friendly setup.[/b][/size][/font] [/list] It is extremely heavy, so it is collection from Birmingham only. £150 ono.
  12. [quote name='LayDownThaFunk' timestamp='1466607349' post='3077194'] Gave BD a call trying to source a box for posting a bass and was told they don't provide this sort of service? [/quote] I guess they may need them themselves. Try halfords for a bike box.
  13. Not in any particular order. Michael Manring Steve Lawson Anthony Jackson Alain Caron Tony Levin
  14. It's fine with my Roscoe 6. It's sold now 😊
  15. At an event called Sonik in Walthamstow, London. Two 6 string basses, one fretted, one fretless. An ebow, a Macbook, and a whole load of delay pedals. [attachment=222000:13319726_515505531991046_7642947140713525344_n.jpg]
  16. [quote name='blue' timestamp='1466469347' post='3076114'] Getting that "sound" can happen. Getting someone else's tone could be tough. Blue [/quote] True. Don't think that I've ever sounded like anyone else, always myself playing whatever I've been playing, through whatever it was I was playing through.
  17. [quote name='blue' timestamp='1464314470' post='3058413'] You mean,you think The Stones are bloody awful live. I've been going to their shows since 1972 and last saw them last year. I think they're the best live rock band in the world. Key phrase. "I think" as in IMO. I can't comment on the Chilles, I don't know enough about the band or their history.I can't name one of their songs. Blue [/quote] I think you're maybe right, which is why people flock to see them every time they're on tour. I'm not personally a fan, have to say though. The red hot chilis song sounds like a red hot chilis song, if you like them, then you'll like it. If like me you do, then you probably wont.
  18. I did a music teaching qualification as part of my final year of my music degree. I bought the full set, though can't seem to find grade 6 for some reason, to develop my own lesson plans from. I'd like £10 each including postage. Discounts obviously for more than one copy. All are in excellent condition, and include the appropriate CDs.
  19. [quote name='sammybee' timestamp='1466284705' post='3074735'] What did you find intuitive about it? And what baffled you about Cubase? [/quote] Everything on cubase. Logic just works for me.
