  1. My funk/soul/hip hop band Lady Luck and The Late Night Players (www.facebook.com/latenightplayers - all likes appreciated and reciprocated!) are playing The Roadhouse in Birmingham tomorrow night.

  2. I regret ever looking at tab! Now that I'm struggling to learn to read, I wish I had just hit notation since the start, I'd be able to read so much better..
  3. [quote name='ziggydolphinboy' timestamp='1404320412' post='2491601'] had an older version of one of these and a four string great basses [/quote] Yeah I'm sad to see it go to be honest but I just don't use it enough for the stuff I'm involved with at the moment :/
  4. An overwhelming sense of well being..
  5. I'm not sure, I think I have some scales I can weight it on. Alternatively feel free to come round for a go on it, or I can drop round with it for a supervised visit if you'd prefer to try it through your own amp
  6. Bought as a gift and sat in the box up until recently when I thought I'd give it a go. [url="http://www.bossus.com/gear/productdetails.php?ProductId=852"]http://www.bossus.co...p?ProductId=852[/url] Really cool settings on it, three settings including an octave above whilst fuzzing, sounds great for lead stuff.. Unfortunately I don't really have much space on my pedalboard and the fuzz is getting subbed out! Only used once for a recording session but never taken out gigging Will post if required. Will consider a swap for a decent compressor or something else fun.. Cheers Jack
  7. Great Bass but I'm out of the six string game. Features a 5-Piece maple/wenge neck and is a neck through build. Flamed maple body with a rosewood finerboard. Has Bartolini mk-1 pickups and an anboard pre-amp so it's a really versatile piece of kit. The guy who owned it before me said it had custom hipshot tuners, not sure if these are standard with the model but they are amazing for staying in tune. Can upload more pictures on request. Edit: Will consider 5 string trades Pick-up ideal but delivery can be arranged. Thanks, Jack
  8. [quote name='fatback' timestamp='1403694236' post='2485327'] Thanks again. Looks like you can spend weeks or months on this progression and not get to the end of it. Thankfully i live in the country. No city neighbours would put up with this. [/quote] My city neighbors have grown weary of ii-V-I licks.. I'm pretty sure they could have developed perfect pitch by now though
  9. Hello.. I've just done the donation to Basschat do I can use the sales forums. Do I need to wait for some sort of confirmation or can I use them now without fear of thread removal? Thanks!
  10. [quote name='Myke' timestamp='1403657873' post='2485074'] How did it go? Scrape through or was it comfortable? [/quote] It was comfortable for the most part, a bit shaky at the beginning.. To be honest I think I was fully capable it's just the nerves of it that got to me. The keys player was one of my University Lecturers (he got me the gig) so that kind of put me on edge more than anything.. We did get to play Watermelon Man though... Niiiiice
  11. So I've just found out last minute that a gig im depping required me to play a 45 minute jazz set before the toe party band sets. I have never 'jazzed' live and slightly concerned about soloing.. I can walk through chords but soloing is something I have barely touched on if at all. Any ideas?
  12. I ended up putting the compressor last in the chain under the logic that I could use it to shape the tone after fuzz/envelope has screwed around with it. It didn't even cross my mind that having the Pre-amp first would mean if I used it as a DI it wouldnt send my effects to the front desk? I have a DI on my amp anyway.. Suppose I'll just use it there and swap if need be later
  13. I may have a spare room in my sock drawer..
  14. Okay so I've got my board set up as: DI/PRE-AMP > Tuner > Octaver > Envelope > Fuzz Where would you suggest to put the compressor? Also any issues with the above? Cheers!
  15. Bought an Aguilar Octamizer from Goblin.. Came the next day and sounds amazing!
  16. I was gutting my bookcase the other day and found his Slap Bass DVD in amongst the books.. It was a bit above me when I originally bought it but now I reckon I can give it a crack!
  17. [quote name='ambient' timestamp='1401290866' post='2462110'] Yeah write the notes you want played, maybe write the chord name above. [/quote] Thanks man!
  18. Yeah I've got the Ireal Book on my Iphone, sometimes a pain looking at it on a smaller screen though..
  19. Anyone know where I can access chord charts for standards online? Till I get my Realbook of course.. At the moment looking for Mingus stuff especially!
