ambient

The video keeps stopping for me, and I can't quite make out everything that's on the board behind him. I'm guessing though that if you look at the chords along the top, and what he's written underneath. EbMaj7 is the 1 chord of Eb, it's also the IVMaj chord of Bb. Dm7 is the IIm chord of C, the IIIm chord of Bb and the VIm chord of F. Gm7 is the IIm of F, the IIIm of Eb and relative minor of Bb. Cm7 is the IIm of Bb and the IIIm of Ab.

I've sold loads of things on Gumtree, never had a problem. If you're not easy with a stranger in your house (isn't everyone a stranger when you've never met them before ?), bring the amp in to a room with nothing valuable on show, hallway or somewhere, let them try it there. Make sure someone is with you.

I carry my basses miles every week in a Mono Vertigo bag. I have a mile and a half walk to the train station, it goes in the overhead luggage thing on the train to London. I then carry it on the tube to uni and carry it around from one class to another all day. Then same in reverse on the way home. That's 3 maybe 4 days a week. If my trains don't work out right, I have to wait around for a few hours, and I like to walk down by the Thames. I catch the tube to Westminster and walk down to tower bridge, have coffee then walk back up to London bridge and catch the tube back to the train station. That's several miles, and I have no problem carrying the bass. I'm 6ft tall and weigh around 11 stone, so I'm not exactly well built. I've got soaked more than once this year, and the bag has remained watertight every time. My choice would undoubtably be the Vertigo. I sold a Contego to pay for the Vertigo, it was too heavy.

[url="http://s915.photobucket.com/user/andrew_workman1/media/Mobile%20Uploads/imagepng_zps6268dfc6.jpeg.html"][/url] [/quote] That's the nicest ACG that I've seen, awesome !

I travel to uni in London 3 days a week, by train. I use a Mono Vertigo, it's nice and sleek, and offers great protection for my basses. The only thing it lacks is stowage for bits and pieces.

All the low notes on the E string are on the B string from the 5th fret upwards, means you don't have to move about so much, you can pretty much play everything around the middle of the neck, playing across the fretboard, instead of along it.

[center]I think after you've played with a low action for a while, then you'll gradually adjust your playing style and the fret buzzing will stop.[/center] [center]My Modulus has extremely low action, and the strings I'm using are a low tension balanced set with gauges 118, 90, 67, 49, 35, 22. You can just about get my bank debit card under the strings at the 12th fret.[/center] [center]A lot of people find it unplayable to start with, but soon get the hang of it.[/center] [center] .[/center][center]​It all depends what you want to achieve. If you want to use a pick and really dig in when playing then you'll need a high action, I just don't like making things hard for myself [/center]

A friend of mine has a really beautiful pre E/B Stingray bass. I don't get on with Stingrays, it sounds amazing in his hands, rubbish in mine. Someone at uni has a Stingray, gets a great sound from it, I haven't played it, but I'm guessing it wouldn't sound the same if I did.

[quote name='SteveK' timestamp='1394324480' post='2390402'] If I were inclined to want to sound like Flea, the first thing I would attend to would be his technique: studying albums, getting info and watching video clips, and making sure my chops were up to the task. As far as [i]what instrument to buy?[/i] - I would be stumped... Of all the Chilli's albums and numerous basses he's used, which one has Fleas tone? it's not a good analogy. [/quote] It's absolutely terrible analogy . If you want to sound like [i]any[/i] player, then you need to study how [i]they[/i] play. It's no good just going out any buying the same gear, you need to play like they do too. Like I said in an earlier post, I've seen guys at college play other peoples basses, and they sound different. Guys have played my basses in live workshops, same amp, room, string, cable, cab everything, but they sound different to me.

Mono do one, should imagine it'd be expensive though.

[quote name='tayste_2000' timestamp='1394461120' post='2391551'] I thought about the 365 but am concerned that if my bass is on my back then how do I put another bag on my back and if my pedalboard is at my side I have the same issue there as well. [/quote] I had the same problem last year, I bought a really great backpack but found it was a pain to carry with my gig bag, so I sold it [url="http://basschat.co.uk/topic/198256-mono-kondensor-musicians-backpack/page__p__1961082__hl__mono__fromsearch__1#entry1961082"]http://basschat.co.uk/topic/198256-mono-kondensor-musicians-backpack/page__p__1961082__hl__mono__fromsearch__1#entry1961082[/url] I bought a decent messenger type bag, but since buying a Vertigo gig bag, I'm stuck for places to keep tuners and straps and spare batteries in. That Mono bag Walbassist has looks brilliant .

Mine's Dyamond wood, very, very hard. Sounds great though, a bit like phenolic.

I've got the 'ground up' CD/DVD which is really good, lots of live studio footage. The one guy's one of the tutors at uni .

[quote name='Spoombung' timestamp='1394376351' post='2390794'] I don't quite know how to reply to this... other than to say I [i]sincerely[/i] believe from the [i]bottom of my heart[/i] that James Last is MUSIC FOR PEOPLE WHO DON'T LIKE MUSIC. [/quote] My dad liked/likes him, so yes . Though he did have some brilliant musicians playing in his band, and I'm sure I heard somewhere that it was a really great gig to get.

I seem to be the odd one out, my parents never really listened to music, my dad likes Smooth FM, so that describes his musical taste (or lack of ). I only got into music through school, and hearing it played on the radio. Then my aunt and uncle gave me my auntie's old record deck and a stack of records, mostly stuff that I didn't actually like, but it started me off .

I've not seen them before, cool thanks .
