This proves beyond doubt that The Moody Blues also changed and influenced all forms of music............................... http://youtu.be/rHdWiKNkmd8

[quote name='EssentialTension' timestamp='1360431754' post='1970369'] It may well have shifted a few more LPs, I wouldn't dispute that at all, but your claim has changed from the first post quoted above to the second post quoted above. [/quote] I can't see how it's changed at all.

[quote name='Lowender' timestamp='1360431265' post='1970356'] And there are jazz musicians who don't even take Albert Ayler seriously, but okay, I'll play. [/quote] Okay. i'll play as well. There were some musicians, journalists and fans that didn't take Charlie Parker, John Coltrane, Eric Dolphy, Ornette Coleman, Archie Shepp, Miles Davis and Max Roach seriously so not sure what being taken seriously actually means.

[quote name='Lowender' timestamp='1360431265' post='1970356'] First off, classical music is a music of the past so how can they "influence" that? [/quote] Treat yourself to a Mozart cd then you may see my point.

[quote name='EssentialTension' timestamp='1360430681' post='1970347'] [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7vRI2jlXkHI[/media] [/quote] I could list a thousand Beatles songs recorded by Jazz artists. Most of these were simply musicians recording pop songs of the day. Something Jazz musicians had done long before even Be Bop and putting their slant on it. Jazz musicians recording Beatles songs didn't change music. It may have shifted a few more LPs that''s all.

[quote name='Lowender' timestamp='1360430250' post='1970335'] I asked who you thought was more influential to modern music -- which person, player, band, composer -- like that. [/quote] If there was only one choice it would be Mozart. No other person has influenced music more.

[quote name='Lowender' timestamp='1360427470' post='1970223'] I know a lot of great jazz musicians who say they were influenced by the Beatles. They changed music -- not just rock and pop. Rock and pop were nothing at all like what they did prior to their hitting the scene. [/quote] If i'd have heard Ornette Coleman or Albert Ayler playing a Beatles medley in the 1960s i might agree with you. They changed Pop music but certainly didn't change Jazz, Electronic or Classical music.

[quote name='Dave Vader' timestamp='1360429093' post='1970288'] The Beatles listened to a lot of stuff by bands no-one was really listening to, and brought those sounds to the masses. [/quote] Could you post a few examples?

I think this Fretless/Fretted bass thing only became really noticeable when Jaco became popular and everyone noticed (and it was often mentioned in reviews etc) that he played a Fretless bass. Before that i remember Bass players with a few popular groups played Fretless and no one ever mentioned it.

If you want cheesy synths.................. http://youtu.be/7rWJmvFIIoQ

[quote name='fireblademalc' timestamp='1359992440' post='1963111'] Worst bass I ever owned was a 1964 Hofner Violin Bass, complete sh*te. [/quote] Never played one but i've hated these since i was a nipper and McCartney played one with the Fab Four. Other groups had lovely chunky Burns Bisons and double cutaway semi-acoustics and Megan from the Applejacks was the height of cool with a Fender Jazz Bass but there was Macca with that oversized violin.

[quote name='plankspanker11' timestamp='1360371554' post='1969668'] I've tried.................3 times!!! It doesn't appear???? [/quote] I think you'll find it's in the 'Basses For Sale' section now

What about.............. Tentative or If I Decide To Sell or maybe................. Not sure i want to let this beauty go, but...

[quote name='SteveK' timestamp='1360357303' post='1969421'] From about '87-'91 so not an original. [/quote] So what? Ringo wasn't an original either. Total respect to you Sir!!!

[quote name='SteveK' timestamp='1360356194' post='1969394'] Reread my post...[size=2]cough cough![/size] [b][size=2]the quoted text in bold[/size][/b] [size=2]cough cough![/size] I'm not going to spell it out any clearer... I'm too embarrassed [/quote] Massive megamungus respect is due dude!!!!!

[quote name='AndyTravis' timestamp='1360356195' post='1969395'] Got one in my shop today, a black one. It's sodding gorgeous in the flesh, and I'm having one. [/quote] Nice one! I pick up my Candy Apple Red one next week.

[quote name='DaveFry' timestamp='1360350626' post='1969229'] At 31:27 he demonstrates the sound he was after when he was very young . Guess what it sounds like ! [/quote] He says a symphony orchestra, 20 violins and french horns. Am i missing something?

[quote name='steve-soar' timestamp='1360352668' post='1969277'] No#2 [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DNCx7LDv7Ng&NR=1&feature=endscreen[/media] God, just realise I was a big soft-sh*te as a little boy. [/quote] Great song. No one should be embarrassed with this. I wish i'd have written it.

[quote name='steve-soar' timestamp='1360352471' post='1969274'] No shame, just being 10 years old and feeling glorious. [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XYfIFWhyznA[/media] No# 1 [/quote] Great song. No need for embarrassment at all..............next!

[quote name='SteveK' timestamp='1360350860' post='1969234'] Corrected - It seems to be an attitude fairly unique to this country. It's as if bands here have a 'Use by' date. Not sure what you mean, but you should try being in the band. [/quote] What band? You've lost me.

[quote name='BetaFunk' timestamp='1360344278' post='1969095'] I used to think that Gerry & The Pacemakers were far better than The Beatles and that Billy J Kramer & The Dakotas version of Do You Want To Know A Secret was superior to the Fab Fours and that Freddie & The Dreamers could wipe the floor with The Kinks. When i reached the age of eleven i realised that these three groups were maybe not as good as i once thought they were. [/quote] I take that all back. I've just played my Billy J Kramer & The Dakotas LP and they WERE better that The Beatles.

[quote name='uncle psychosis' timestamp='1360347969' post='1969160'] That one is a massive red flag to me. It suggests that the seller may well change their mind once you've agreed a deal. Either sell, or don't. [/quote] Absolutey. I totally disregard any ad like that.

[quote name='neepheid' timestamp='1360345555' post='1969115'] Because you're not supposed to rock the boat! You will be mercilessly pilloried for your unusual opinions! [/quote] Ooops, sorry!!!
