Good one SI. Thanks for the link for the FP interview.

West Side Story was the one for me, but have played it a few times now, so no panic. Sunset is Tricky, agreed. And JCS, has a couple of hairy moments. But without doubt, the show I found trickiest was 'Bat Boy' (Well, during rehearsals) The show only lasted about seven months (In the West End),

Video from a Jazz FM interview. He plays a bit of 'Never To Much'. [size="2"]https://www.facebook.com/JazzFMmusic/videos/vb.312803969328/10153717474554329/?type=2&theater[/size]

I thought this might interest a few folks. Some good prizes, or maybe just for your own amusement. You can use the supplied footage and music stems and then rearrange, or compose your own cue - either way, a good experience and a way to challenge yourself outside of your comfort zone. Rules and all info. (You don't have to use the Sonar DAW). https://mytrailer.justcause.com/#enter

Warning...... Trigger. http://youtu.be/HisD_pqlRHQ

[quote name='PauBass' timestamp='1444817684' post='2886273'] Fernando is a top bass player and composer, very tasteful playing. Check his other work, worth a listen too! [/quote] Yep. Effortless, relaxed playing with a lovely feel. Nice composition and arrangement.

Nice take on the classic tune!

Windows 10 here, using the 'Edge' browser and seems to be working for me (using links). Quote previous (other) posts, works as well. Maybe browser related? [media]http://youtu.be/iz6iENNnf08[/media] [url="http://postimage.org/"][/url]

I like a straight neck. I then raise the action until it scares the life out of some bassists. (Fretted and Fretless). Also means Bassists don't borrow my Basses very often. if at all.

Another (totally) free programme for zipping and unzipping. 7-Zip - Very popular and unzips just about anything. (Not that the others mentioned above don't). Tech folks seem to think it has better compression ratios, But who knows? They all do the job for the average needs, just another option really. http://www.7-zip.org

[quote name='Old_Ben' timestamp='1444522103' post='2883865'] I would never condone looking for the full software packages on torrent sites. [/quote] I think he meant 'free' legal version(s), and not free as in 'pirate'. Have a look here. Some free and some paid for. http://atoragon.blogspot.co.uk/2014/09/the-best-free-vst-bass-amps-sims.html

I like they way the punters start singing SOTW near the end, just to remind him what song he was playing.... Priceless...Lol.....

Hey Joel, I just had a listen on CD Baby. The previews are quite short, but from what I heard, it sounds great, with some very nice playing (and programming) going on. Excellent. Sounds like it was quite a long project?

[quote name='KevB' timestamp='1444164213' post='2880873'] Me too, how about a bit of this... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V8Le8bH3Y8U [/quote] Same Bass player on this track as well, I believe (Russ Stapleford). http://youtu.be/aaQWOne1sfo

Agree with the Valhalla room verb. Best $50 I have spent. Also you can grab their Freq Echo for free, also very good. https://valhalladsp.com/shop/delay/valhalla-freq-echo/

Ha, ha..I was recently out with a friend who was pulling his hair out, regarding auditioning Bass players for an overseas gig. He told me, that most of the folk that turned up, didn't understand 'Bass Player required' part of the ad...Lol...

As a song, it was ok and nor certainly something I hated. Although playing it in function bands, was a boring experience. A tune that just didn't go anywhere, especially at the end of a long evening, when it was hard to keep your eyes open. But on the other hand - Just stand there and think of the cheque.

Voted. Well done all, a good bunch.

[quote name='Mcgiver69' timestamp='1443442143' post='2874657'] As a Latino all I can say is to forget about locking with one instrument and figure yourself in the middle of everything. That's how the bass players can get in an out. As you said all instrument interlock with each other and that makes it difficult for you as a bass player to lock with just one instrument. Another great book is "Funkifying the clave" by Lincoln Goines. I hope this helps. [/quote] This. You need to immerse yourself in the music. Listen to as much as you can and try and get a real feel for the various styles. That might mean listening to more traditional (Latin) music from the various regions and cultures.

A great new iOS App for inter-app Midi connections between Apps. You can already connect Audio with 'Audiobus', but now it can be done with Midi as well. Midi flow http://www.midiflow.com Audiobus https://audiob.us

Very sad. Loved his opening Tenor line intro on Street Life, and of course, the knockout solo. [media]http://youtu.be/youYairWMFM[/media]

[quote name='cybertect' timestamp='1443382190' post='2874300'] I thought it was going to be a Small Faces cover [/quote] Ha..ha...(title ammended).
