Another laptop for DAW question: a man on the internet said... minimum spec recommended is a 7200 RPM hard drive, 8 gig RAM, i5/i7 processor. Any advice on a reasonably priced laptop in this spec range?

I've never got the hang of the legato thing on guitar, when I shred I pick every note. But on bass - I'm a finger player - when I shred, right hand legato seems to come naturally. Are there any other legato players out there?

ok, so there are exceptions, I mean If you go to see a band with Billy Sheehan, it's a given there will be a bass solo, and if you see KISS you may be disappointed if Gene doesn't do his bit with the blood and fire. But as a bass player yourself, would you rather a band had a bass solo, or that they just played another song?

Has anyone mentioned Bare Knuckle? They are a British company who do a couple of split p pups. https://bareknucklepickups.co.uk/main/pickups.php?cat=bass&sub=vintage&pickup=65_split_coil&series=p_bass Also some of Trev Wilkinson' s pups punch well above their weight. http://www.jhs.co.uk/wilkinson.html#bass

Freedom of movement, especially on small stages, is something that is difficult to move on from when you go back to leads and being tethered.

Awesome!

29 inch scale bass. http://www.snap-dragon-guitars.co.uk/snap-dragon-e-bass-4-p.asp

Got a Peavey Express 112 guitar amp. Early 90's built like a tank, about 35kg, and still going strong.

Pick player? Meh!

Google 'Beaver Felton' Amazing wheel chair bound player, did many excellent bass tuition vids in the 80's.

Well for me they were never the same, after reforming without Fergal on vocals.

[quote name='Happy Jack' timestamp='1437208977' post='2824405'] Yeh, I had something similar. The guy may have noticed twelve basses and two guitars hanging on the wall, plus a Roland VK-09 next to the electronic drumkit. But probably just a lucky guess, I reckon.

[quote name='discreet' timestamp='1437207236' post='2824388'] God yes, especially the ubiquitous gated snare sound that was on EVERYTHING. [/quote] What about that staccato single note string line on Soul II Soul's, Back to life? Released in May 1989, and then heard on EVERY dance/soul/R&B[size=2]*[/size] track through the 90's. [size=2]. *not to be confused with RnB which is the good kind [/size]

I still have a love of 80's pop (early to mid 80's, pre SAW) and the second British invasion groups.

[quote name='Sammers' timestamp='1437126871' post='2823763'] At £399 I bet the internals are pretty low-spec, If they've cheaped out on a lower end CPU after 6 months the phones going to be a nightmare to use daily. [/quote] It's a [color=#000080]Qualcomm Snapdragon 410, 1.2 GHz Quad Core[/color]

[quote name='Low End Bee' timestamp='1437127136' post='2823764'] I'll wait for the valve phone. [/quote] I'll wait until Behringer bring out their cloned version at 1/10th the price

Ta!

Really not sure, as have the mother in law over for a visit, but may have some things to donate to the raffle.

Set up master class. Along the lines of, people turn up with their own basses and tools, and someone takes the class through setting up their own bass.
