Spent some time with them yesterday and, 'kin 'ell, they're hard to read cold. I got there in the end but, flamin' Nora. I didn't know he had it in him!![/quote] You sure it's not his arranger...?

Nice work, great line - double thumbs-up!

Not sure what to call this - is it Jazz-Funk? I do like it though (even with the changes) [url="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m0c38Wtdvz0&feature=related"]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m0c38Wtdvz0...feature=related[/url]

[quote name='bubinga5' post='1020591' date='Nov 11 2010, 07:34 PM']Cant understand it when people when i hear "well i dont like it because it doesnt have the oomph of funk....well its not funk..and its not Jazz... i personally love it...im talking Lonnie Liston Smith,Ronnie Laws, Oh there is too many damn them.. good call as usual Pete..[/quote] Are you looking at me...? I prefer my funk heavy and my jazz straight, which is why I'm pretty ambivalent about 'jazz-funk'. Obviously there are exceptions (Lonnie LS being a top one), but I wouldn't think of that as 'jazz-funk'. Not sure what I would call it. Put it another way, I prefer my 'jazz-funk' to be heavy on the groove, rather than changes and choruses in a 'funky' style. (Although I've been very guilty of just that in the past! ) Never could stand Streetlife but was forced to play it enough times. Maybe that's the problem..

Most Jazz-Funk I'll pass on, as it tends to have a lack of oomph / balls (which in my opinion is necessary for funk, as opposed to something being 'funky'). I'd rather listen to straight jazz then. 'A-bit-Funky-Jazz' is probably a closer description... But then you get Herbie and the Headhunters (separately and together), which I would call Jazz-Funk, and I bloody love that.

[quote name='Mykesbass' post='1007869' date='Oct 31 2010, 09:25 PM']Who was the bass player on this? [/quote] Not sure - I always loved the bass playing on S&G's 'America' - beautiful melodic playing - check that too...

I came to the conclusion a while ago that one of each is the way - Rosewood P with flats, Maple J with rounds, and a fretless P-J with flats - best of all worlds!

[quote name='BottomEndian' post='1000867' date='Oct 26 2010, 10:02 AM']Yeah, I was just messing. Mind you, I [i]really[/i] have to put some effort in to get a pedal off (I'm a tiny weakling though). A small square in each corner of a pedal is enough to attach it securely, so a little can go a looong way.[/quote] Noted, nice one Thanks

[quote name='BottomEndian' post='1000855' date='Oct 26 2010, 09:54 AM']This stuff's brilliant. I can lift up a whole PT2 plus pedals just by grabbing two pedals at opposite corners and lifting. Bit of a bugger if you actually want to move stuff around on the board though. [/quote] Oh really? I've some (guitar) pedals as well, so was planning to change things about. The velcro can peel away from the board easily enough can't it?

[quote name='alexharvay' post='1000830' date='Oct 26 2010, 09:38 AM'][/quote] Thanks - will give it a try Cheers

Question: - I'm compiling my first proper board (photos to follow), have bought a Stagg cheapie-thingie, velcroed the pedals down, BUT the velcro to the board is stronger than the glue to the pedals, so the pedals aren't staying in place when I move it. Any tips? Any recommended velcro with acme ultra-glue? Cheers

Check this guy - loads of tips on how to play like Macca... [url="http://www.youtube.com/user/beatleoyaji"]http://www.youtube.com/user/beatleoyaji[/url] I don't think your rig will get you a Macca sound, but mutes, no treble and a pick will get you a retro sound that will probably do, and will do for everyone at the gig

[quote name='thisnameistaken' post='988590' date='Oct 14 2010, 11:02 PM']I do worry about those guys. They don't seem to handle the high life very well.[/quote] The Haggis'? Good days, bad days I guess... Great players though (which was the point of my post - do you know them? happy to chat more via PM if you do)

I'm ex-Leeds College of Music So's Corinne Bailey Rae's band - half of them are ex-Leeds So's my mate Malcolm, now playing with Jamiroquai / Mark Ronson / Haggis Horns And definitely check out JD73 - awesome musician (ex-Morcheeba)... And Rob Mullarkey of Brotherly /Zero 7 - amazing musician, one of the best bass players I've ever met And Martyn Kaine the drummer (nitin sawney / kyle eastwood) But other than my mates, yeah, everyone else is probably sh*t

Nice one, thanks

[quote name='sk8' post='987232' date='Oct 13 2010, 06:25 PM']i just put feet on mine. Furniture ones i think about £2. Worked a treat [/quote] Ah, but then it won't fit back into the combo chassis... Thanks though

[quote name='jonunders' post='987145' date='Oct 13 2010, 04:56 PM']what about a piece of mdf or ply, cut to size and covered with a suitable material, with a slot cut into it to sit over the cab handle. just a suggestion i have now experience of this problem.[/quote] Ah - that requires more work than hitting 'Buy It Now' on Ebay... A possible project. I think my short term solution is take the combo too for a 300W 3x10 stack!

putting feet on the cab is an interesting idea... will have a think around that I thought of putting it sideways, but I reckon that a cramped stage will prevent this Cheers

I've a GB Shuttle 3.0-10 Combo (bought from this site), which is great. I've also the Shuttle 2-10 Extension Cab (also via BC), which I'll be gigging for the first time this weekend. Now, the combo balances nicely on top of the cab, but if I want to detach the head and use it just with the 2x10, because the carrying handle is on top of the speaker, the head won't lie flat. It's unlikely to slip or fall on its own, but doesn't look great and could easily be knocked. Other than putting the head on a nearby table or something, does anyone have any suggestions / tips? I had a look on the GB site but couldn't see any gadgets that may solve this. Cheers Len
