    Here's his gangnam style cover in case you missed it http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Pd2pSLFjOas Wish we could get him to join BassChat! Can you imagine him turning up to a BassBash in leafy Surrey?
  2. Clarky
    He has 30,000 subscribers to his video channel on YT too!

    Hooray, he's back! Dodgy bottom shots aside, he is an amazing bass player

    Here's my one and only attempt, backing Karena K doing a version of Northern Soul classic 'Temptation eyes' http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YDRVygSwpc0

    Apparently there is no H note. Now I'm truly stuffed

    Some more playing-on-the-stick style - oh and a bump! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fn5cGelK0GU http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Mz7jwHeCfs0

    No worries Nige, if you change your mind the offer is there

    PlatPro should help a lot - the phase switch alone might do it, let alone playing with the para EQ. Also try dampening the after-length of the strings with some foam or cloth. Your rig is perfectly good so its the resonance of the bass that needs a bit of taming. Also maybe play around with placement of your amp so it doesn't directly point at the bass

    Here it is Nige http://basschat.co.uk/topic/127704-jazz/page__view__findpost__p__1802682

    I have a suggestion Nige. I have reallly nice sonic blue CIJ 62RI Jazz (check the third from last page in the Jazz bass thread in Gear Porn for pics). You are welcome to borrow this for a few weeks and see if a Jazz is really what you want. You could A/B against your Streamer and make an informed decision about what you prefer. Let me know mate Would be a crying shame if you sold your Streamer for a song to get a Jazz and later regretted. You can always find a replacement Jazz but its almost impossible to replace your chrome Streamer (unless you want to shell out £2k for new ...)

    Bought some CDs from Keith as a fund raiser for his local jazz & blues club. All good, as ever, with this fine gentleman

    Here's a pic of Brian Wilson playing the bass this way in the Beach Boys back in the 60s [attachment=130717:Brian+Wilson+1-Brian+in+fur+jacket.jpg]

    Porn indeed! Still like that 63 in seafoam best though

    [quote name='Rabbie' timestamp='1363945704' post='2019825'] This is a great bass Clarky! I really hope you find a buyer soon. I am sure all BCers already know you are a super trustworthy gentleman to deal with. [/quote] Most kind Roberto - if London and Perth weren't so far apart I would be tempted to try out your beautiful Duke bass thats for sale

    bump, pointing out p/x and trade options mentioned a couple of posts back

    On the bay as well (for more money) but would obviously rather do a deal with a trusted BCer http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/130872426029?ssPageName=STRK:MESELX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1586.l2649

    [quote name='obi 2 kenobi' timestamp='1363805698' post='2018002'] Hi, where are you based ? Thx [/quote] In spirit of helpfulness, it says Sheffield underneath James' avatar (I guess you are on a mobile as I think the location tag doesn't appear on the mobile app)

    Old timers do get gigs with originals bands - I'm 49 and the rest of my band is between 26-34 years old. Age isn't the determinant of joining a good originals band. Not being a twat generally is

    [quote name='KevB' timestamp='1363789867' post='2017657'] Same place it came from in the previous ten years. It just probably won't come from any of the bands that people who post on here are in. [/quote] Well so far a band in Columbus, Ohio has contacted me asking permission to cover one of our songs and a London DJ wants to sample another of our songs for a trance track. And thats just from an EP .... wait til the album comes out in July

    I can fully understand the gratification arguments for covers bands (and the money!) I remember my originals punk band playing at a Punkfest in 2009, playing well, doing our thang to a mildly appreciative audience. Next up is a '70s punk covers band that launches into London Calling, followed by Bodies and the audience went completely mental .... So far I have only ever played in originals bands (bar one cover with my last band Rattlin Bone of an obscure blues song) and it does give me a huge boost when you get complimented on a song that is all the band's own. To be fair I am lucky in my current band as it has some very good songwriters as well as two amazing (and photogenic, ahem) lady singers.
