Hi I am currently buying a new rig - as light/powerful as possible, I have a 2x10 markbass traveller cab which is great for what I need (and can be added to if necessary) - can anyone recommend me which head to buy if they have experience of any of the above? I am currently borrowing a markbass F1 which is nice and used to have the AG500 which I loved - I have heard great things about the tone hammer...! Cheers for any help/suggestions

I am currently looking for for a regular gigging function/covers band. I have great gear and transport and am a fluent sight reader. My myspace is www.myspace/malcparker1 which contains some audio/video clips. I am based near London but can travel anywhere within reason! Thanks Mal

thanks! I'll be re doing this soon (and other transcriptions) with better sound quality and I need to tighten up on some of the phrasing !

Thats really nice - just wondering how you recorded it - which interface etc ?

I could have done a better take but was pressed for time and my wrist was starting to hurt!!

Recently transcribed this bassline from the amazing Laurence Cottle [url="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zEMUBfjHMJY"]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zEMUBfjHMJY[/url]

(although its actually my fender jazz on recording) the whole thing is actually about 8 mins long - very hard to keep up groove, intensity, and accuracy with this this type of music (well for me anyway!)[/quote]

[quote name='MrsKite' post='1084302' date='Jan 10 2011, 02:58 PM']Hello I´m in need for help in preperation for a jazz degree starting next September. I especially want to focus on my improvisational skills and require someone who can guide me finding my inner voice instead of repeating mindless patterns and cocky chops. It would be great if you could also teach double bass and some jazz history. I have years of playing and gigging experience and a diploma in performance, based in West London. If you think you can help me write to [email protected] Thanks[/quote] Janek's pod/video casts have really helped me find 'inner voice' particularly with the singing what you play and melodic soloing motif concepts. (as opposed to running up and down scales) [url="http://gwizmon.podbean.com/"]http://gwizmon.podbean.com/[/url] mal

Hi, I have been using my usb cable (lightsnake) to record my bass in garageband no problem but cant for the life of me get it to work in logic. There is no signal whatsoever even though I have selected 'usb device' for input and 'built in output' for output in logic audio settings...and in my mac system settings you can clearly see there is a signal. Does anyone own this cable and use it in logic? Can you help please?!!

I know roni size has some good ones - any more?

I fancied a break from practicing jazz so today learned some funky beastie boys db lines which are very fun to play. Can anyone recommend any other good funky double bass lines/artists? cheers
