Well now, I used to think if I got a '64 Jazz in shell pink or gold flake, it would mean I would be the porn star's bollocks. But you know what, I tried some old Jazzes, and some were just about ok. But I realised that if I was going to do this I would paying a small fortune to drive a pale blue three wheeler in the F1. So I ended up with a Warwick Streamer ChromeTone made 40 years later. I call it my 'year of RE-BIRTH' bass, the re-birth happening when BC member Dominic brought it to my house last year and I handed over eight hundred smackers. Let me tell you, it pisses all over the good '64 Jazz I played, and it's still got a '4' in it

[quote name='Skol303' timestamp='1349550987' post='1827719'] [i]VERY[/i] nice! Love how it changes from "in your face" rock/metal to mellow dub around the one minute mark. Totally caught me by surprise and the change works really well. I mean, two genres in one track isn't something you hear often! Clever stuff. And the playing is great (you're pretty damn handy on guitar as well as bass, assuming that's you on both?). The production sounds good too (I'm listening on cans). Nicely mixed and you've got some lush FX going on, especially in the dub section, which really fattens up the track. In all, good job Silddx! You've set a very high bar for the rest of us. I've yet to start mine but will be doing so next weekend. I've got something going on in my head, I just need to 'splurge' it out somehow [/quote] Hey thanks for the kind words man! I'm really pleased with it. It's just me, guitar and bass (through a POD X3 Live into Reaper) and drum programming in EZ Drummer. It all started with that rapid-tremolo guitar part. I thought of heart palpitations and I set up that patch on the POD X3. That led me to the next bit and so on and on. It just came out and it's definitely me I grew up on prog rock and dub Looking forward to hearing yours!

The first part really caught the pic for me and I liked the aftermath as well. I might have a go myself but it won't be that good![/b] [/quote] Thank you mate! Just have fun and see where it goes. If it's a true representation of yourself and your musicality, that's as good as it gets. Best of luck.

[quote name='Dave Vader' timestamp='1349530939' post='1827421'] Like it Nige (the bass is too loud ) I fully intended to begin work on mine today, but it is sunny and I have cider, so it might go a bit wrong.... [/quote] I think the cider will win

[quote name='xgsjx' timestamp='1349526891' post='1827354'] That's a good track Nige. Nice work! I've got some ideas that I'm hopefully gonna get to work on next week. [/quote] Thanks mate, I'm looking forward to hearing the others.

Thanks mate, hope you are rockin it right now

[quote name='Bilbo' timestamp='1349468733' post='1826871'] Started on mine today. Got some bare bones happening. Nice production, Nige. Mine's probably going to be low-tech [/quote] Thanks Rob, it was quite quick and dirty actually, I might tidy some of the guitars up a bit.

[quote name='arsenic' timestamp='1349451342' post='1826552'] Great work. It gets straight to the point and kicks you in the face, checks to see if it has done enough damage before it wanders off into the crowd. [/quote] Haha, I like that

Brilliant!

At last, details in the OP

OK here's mine. It's call SHlTSHOERIOTFACE and it's inspired by badly dressed riotfaces. http://soundcloud.com/silddx/shltshoeriotface-dscrf

Mate, I was just going to email you, I can't make tomorrow, really sorry mate. But when is the gig in a month's time? I should be fine for that. Have a great night mate, and sorry again. Nx

[quote name='BassPimp66' timestamp='1349378193' post='1825580'] Warwick, Sandberg, Hofner, Marleaux, BassLab, Clover, Delano, Glockenklang, TecAmp... Viva Germany! [/quote] Indeed! I am a Warwick player. They are the BEST. Hello and I hope you enjoy being here

[quote name='thumperbob 2002' timestamp='1349344438' post='1824909'] Its a Mackie 1608dl. Amazing piece of kit this. This is a wireless mixer that uses an Ipad for processing. It will mean that I can soundcheck the band out front and adjust all parameters with my Ipad so there is no tooing and frooing to the stage to adjust. Loads of effects, compression, really quality sound. Wireless works perfectly. [b]I cannot imagine anything as revolutionary as this for your normal band.[/b] 16 channel inputs ( more than we need and there is 7 of us) . 6 Auxilliaries. This can use up to ten Ipads so each member of the band can sort their own monitors etc. We do four residencies so saving the mix as a snapshot is so useful. [b]Really happy with it. Welcome to the future.[/b] [/quote] [url="http://line6.com/stagescape-m20d/"]http://line6.com/stagescape-m20d/[/url]

Clarky is a total gent and a great pleasure to hang about with too if you get the chance to meet him. Great story, nice one Clarky! I must big up dave_bass5 too, he lent me his Korg N5 last year, I still have it! Basschat is a brilliant community.

[quote name='Skol303' timestamp='1349096726' post='1821681'] He he, yeah I wanted to keep the challenge on its toes and switch the vibe from last month. [b]It's a photo I found on Flickr of a 'mosh pit' taken in the early 80s (US). I liked it because of the energy and ambiguity - it could just as easily be a photo of a punch up.[/b] Hopefully there's some inspiration to be found in it for everyone...?! [/quote] Oi! The photo's the inspiration, no descriptions please! TBH I thought it was a mosh, but that's not what I'm going to use it as.

[quote name='bluejay' timestamp='1349033463' post='1820956'] Shelley (Seashell) with Paul and Sean (Billyapple) jamming. Sorry I don't know the name of the other guy. [/quote] A lovely pic! Taken from where I normally sit with a Stratocaster So glad Paul the Drums made it and the Jam Room is going strong EDIT: Just noticed that's my old drum kit! Love the fake kick head

[quote name='joeystrange' timestamp='1349092751' post='1821577'] Not sure exactly but I think it was about £400ish, including stripping the original finish. [/quote] Thank you mate

[quote name='joeystrange' timestamp='1349092045' post='1821559'] It's a MIM Fender that she got pretty cheap then sent to Sims for the refin and replaced the pups with a set of QPs. No volume or tone either, it's just wired straight off the pups. I'm sure she's got more pics that I'll try and find, or at least she'll take more. The only thing is photos really don't do it justice. As with all metal flake it just looks so much more effective in real life. [/quote] Super! Do you mind me asking how much it cost?

Skol, congratulations!

Lovely! More details and pics please!

At last! I'll have a listen later. If it's anything like some of the preview stuff I heard it will be very interesting! Paula Rae has a powerfully emotive voice.
