Get out

I think you can see him at the start when Marcus and the band meet.

I could send a mass email to every member on BC... ;0)

[quote name='The Funk' post='579987' date='Aug 25 2009, 11:06 AM']This is that French programme hosted by Manu Katché where he gets different famous musicians together and gets then to jam through things - everything that Later with Jools Holland should be but isn't.[/quote] Really?? Manu is one of my fave drummers and the first musician I knew by name.

Just found this video. Normally I find Marcus' playing a bit wild but love it when he sticks in the pocket. Not sure what the video is about but it looks like he cooks up this bassline in no time and totally nails the tune. Of course he can't help but try and own the tune with a cheeky solo, too... ped

Wasn't me - but I am familiar with the venue as my parents live down the road!

Loving it, thanks

Annoying!

That's interesting. I use Elixirs and have had the same set on my fretted for over a year and they how no signs of flaking whatsoever (though I never use a pick) and still sound fresh.

Without wanting to sound a bit of a loser, my dream bass sound is my own sound, which I don't think sounds like anyone else. Obviously I have MANY fave bass sounds from all sorts of music, but the tone for 'me' is 'mine'.

Aria for me too, a bit different.

Hey mate sorry I missed you on MSN the other day - love the look of the fretless... let us know how you get on with it. Love the transparent 'guard.

Nearly bought a Crews Jackson 5 (hehe) fretless a while back. Stunning see through blue, it was. Lovely.

Sounds excellent. Really digging it.

Can I get on the list too please? Interested to try it with my poweramp. I am in Oxford and probably only need it for a day or so! Cheers ped

Hi mate When i had Ableton I downloaded the Reason Demo just to try setting up VSTs in the programme. The demo limits you to 20 mins but more than enough if you know what you want and how to get it. Give it a shot! ped

Are you Mike Patton?

Makes me sweat just imagining it!

Maybe some foo' could bung the data in a spreadsheet and make all kinds of entertaining 3D charts with the data!! maybe we should each measure our highest and lowest strings to get a better overall picture? Or is that getting complicated!! ped

Yeah so was I - actually my low D string is visibly higher than the rest - if we were talking the high D and G it would be far lower (like the popping strings as low as possible) G string is a shade over 1mm at the 17th... Cheers ped
