He could be a wonderful composer too, when he set his mind to it. 'Three views of a secret' is a beautiful track. Here's the Weather Report original, I couldn't find a link for Jaco's 'Word of Mouth' big band version (which I prefer) [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pGY25G8n5K8&feature=related[/media]

Just heard this on the radio, a mix of Smells like teen spirit and Final countdown. Could it get any more smart@arsed and plain wrong than this? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rr06IyWMf4Y

Here are some sound files comparing a number of mic's and pickups, including the Ehrlund http://doublebassguide.com/?p=654 To my mind the Ehrlund and DPA 4099 ace it, including versus the pickup on my DB (Full Circle). Got me thinking too ...

Warwick Thumb 5 BO (broadneck custom option) * TRADED *
Clarky replied to Clarky's topic in Basses For Sale
Traded for a super nice fretless Fender -
Just to be clear, having had a trade offer for one of the remaining pedals, these are for sale only as my band's guitarist is looking to raise cash towards a new acoustic guitar amp. -
Not sure if I've posted this already. This is a gig where our mandolin player couldn't make it and I used the Takamine acoustic rather than DB. Sound quality not great but you get the picture http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zuaFpXdnJyU&feature=channel&list=UL

Top work, at that rate of progress you will be the best bass player on BC within 2 years

Around the start of his Weather Report stint he played on a Pat Metheny album called Bright Size Life which I think contains some of his freshest playing. Here is a taster http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RX2cPUs-ot0

If you want to read about his life I recommend this book http://www.amazon.co.uk/Jaco-Extraordinary-Tragic-Life-Pastorius/dp/0879308591

Bottom line is Fodera have been going since 1983. If their instruments didn't sell at their price point, they wouldn't exist any more.

[quote name='JimBobTTD' timestamp='1345874779' post='1782576'] This old chestnut again... [/quote] Yep. Could I also add that - in the grand scheme of things - basses are IMHO exceptionally good value for the enjoyment they produce, whether they cost a few hundred or several thousand. Other instruments can cost vastly more (check out the Upton double bass site that has an advert for a DB that it says is suitable for a progressing student, a bargain at a cool $20k) and other hobbies* are much more expensive. We have had people on the site telling us how much they spend on archery or stock car racing and this makes even a Fodera look like small change! Its all relative init? * apart from meditation!
-
Thanks for the tips Mike. They are so much cheaper that a bit of extra time/hassle sounds worth it

Not without pictures! Check your profile and go to Manage Attachments section. Delete old photos there and this will restore the 'memory' on your account so you can post up pictures Good luck

FYI, got quote back from DiscWizards and its more than a third cheaper than every other quote I have had. £450 + VAT for 1000 glass-mastered CDs in a card sleeve. They also say they will beat any other quote (not that they don't already) so this is in pole position now
-
Thanks Uncle P and BRX. Will drop Discwizards an email too
-
Well I have had two quotes now for glass mastered CDs in cardboard sleeves, both about £950 for 1,000. Thats more than we had anticipated so may have to go plastic jewel case route. I have asked one of the two companies to re-quote for plastic jewel case just to see what the differential would be

Next up for ATQR is a headline slot on Thursday 20th September on one of the 'Cool as folk' evenings at Hackney Attic Link here: [url="http://www.picturehouses.co.uk/cinema/Hackney_Picturehouse/film/Cool_As_Folk_All_The_Queen_S_Ravens_Lo_Behold_Abbey_Bowden/"]http://www.picturehouses.co.uk/cinema/Hackney_Picturehouse/film/Cool_As_Folk_All_The_Queen_S_Ravens_Lo_Behold_Abbey_Bowden/[/url]: [attachment=116376:396933_462733170405486_648452323_n.jpg]

Tremolo sold

Thanks Joey I have just dropped them an email too Hopefully should have a quote from them and from Hereandnow by end of today so I can get a feel for costs etc
-
Thanks Tim. Actually Redeye no longer do CD duplication but they put me on to another company (Hereandnow) and I await their response. Redeye did say though that a simple card sleeve (like you get on freebie giveaway CDs) comes out at £500-600 + VAT per 1,000 and that a gatefold would be way more expensive (thicker cardboard, specialised printing etc) so I think we will go down the simple route

Possible trade pending, to be confirmed one way or other this evening -
Hi all, the acoustic guitarist in my band (Luke) has asked me to help him sell some pedals he isn't using. These are all in perfect working order and in good condition with just a few surface nicks.
