Why not cities? Some are smaller than towns. Gloucester is a city and quite small. The music scene is pretty dire mind

Has anyone used this method of counting time signatures? It seems a bit tricky to learn, and wondered if anyone has experience of it and think it is worth taking the time to learn it.

I have some custom moulded plugs made by Emtec. I am lucky as my work paid for them. They cost £80, but they are really good at background noise cancellation. Will have to wear them at next years London bass show to give them a proper test against constant noise

You really need to look at the places you want to use it. Some need the room pitch black while others can be ok with lights on. I am not sure if many are portable. Mine certainly isnt

I was learning the bass line to Pusherman by Curtis Mayfield. I liked the song so zi bought the Superfly album. It is awesome. Much more to that fellah than Move On Up

Ida Nielsen is a new one for me. I have never heard of her before. Stuart Hamm also announced who I have heard of

I just watched the Master Of Puppets version. Apparently she used the tab version.

I have that weekend off, so I will be there

Not my kind of thing, but she is damn good. Far better yhan I will ever hope to be

I really dont trust the price reductions. You get inflated RRP that no one ever sells it for, and puts a lower price which is roughly what it was selling for 6 months ago. There are probably bargains out there, but not that many

I would imagine most basschatters could play most Carole Kaye bass lines if they wished, but very few of us could create a bassline for a hit record. That is what separates us from Kaye, Jamerson etc. I have no clue what hits she played on, so she could claim virtually anything and I would be none the wiser.

I used to have a Rockbass Fortress which I sold a few years back. Then I bought a Streamer LX4 Pro bass when they were sold cheap as they were bringing production back to Germany from Korea. I paid £395 from Thomann which was great value. Really pleased with it. Incidentally, when i saw my first Spector, i thought they were probably owned by the same company. I have learned something from this thread

i first heard Money via Sleeping Dogs video game about 4 years or so ago. i started listening to her music from that point. As for not making it, I think she would have been a reasonably big star if she was around in the late 60' s early 70's. she had the perfect sound for that soul era.

[quote name='itsmedunc' timestamp='1479496700' post='3177066'] Agreed. Major marketing error there! [/quote] I suppose it is difficult not too mention it. His name iss all over it. For that price I would tjrow it rather than be associated with it.

I know both songs Blue. This is the point ot could get interesting as some bands have 1 hit in one country,m but multiple in others

Sad news. It even gets worse with the passing today of Robert Vaughan ( Man From Uncle )

[quote name='SICbass' timestamp='1478630388' post='3170480'] Yeah, sorry about that. I wasn't aware of those until I read Wikipedia 5 mins after posting [/quote] To be fair, if you had put Martika down as having one hit with Toy Soldiers, I would have been none the wiser as I had never heard the song you posted. I was so sure about Toy Soldiers, so I looked it up and found she had a couple of hits.

Passed away at age 82 today No details as yet about his demise

Ahh . I knew it was something along those lines

Does anyone remember Dave Swift's talk at the Addlestone bass bash? He was talking about playing with Jools Holland, and he put some embellishments in. He said Jools would raise his eyebrows and say something on the lines of it being over the top, so he didn't do it again. Seems it happens to some of the best

Martika had a number 5 with Toy Solldiers and 7 with I Feel The Earth Move

I reckon it is best to stop turning this into another brexit argument otherwise it will be locked.

[quote name='project_c' timestamp='1478559437' post='3169977'] People are not panicking blindly, they are worried because their money is becoming worthless, and as a result they might lose their homes, and end up being governed by idiots who want to punch foreigners in the face and think climate change is a hoax. A stiff upper lip and a positive outlook is very noble but not much use when you're on the precipice of a waterfall in a deflating rubber dinghy. [/quote] Sounds like you are heading for health problems with such a bleak outlook on life. It might not happen yet

[quote name='project_c' timestamp='1478542069' post='3169759'] Not to put a dampener on things, but this is just the beginning, everyone - the 'thing' we don't mention hasn't actually started yet, this just a bit of a gentle fluctuation due to international anxiety coupled with a touch of opportunism. Get ready for a nice long descent into the abyss once it does start. That extra 300 will seem like the good old days soon, but basses will be the least of our worries by then. [/quote]Maybe, but not certain

The £ may go up in value if the appeal is upheld. If it does, Maybe places like Thomann will be cheaper, as I suspect the UK retailers will not change
