[quote name='miles'tone' timestamp='1367032907' post='2060528'] Oscar Pettiford. Love him on the Bud Powell album Live at the Essen jazz festival 1960. It's a classic. [/quote] That's a great album...... Garry

[quote name='arthurhenry' timestamp='1366827860' post='2057843'] I was a regular in the Wapping days, [/quote] Me to...Awsome place - I think Barry the owner had a sister shop in LA, or some relationship with them. I always remember his Porsche being parked out side. Got myself a Wal 5 there in 1989. The pub around the corner [the name escapes me] was a nice little social gathering place. Garry

[quote name='charic' timestamp='1366906238' post='2058893'] Sorry about that.., should be working now [/quote] That's what we like about Basschat Mod's....Right on the case. Garry

[quote name='charic' timestamp='1366903981' post='2058849'] Now live [/quote] So i am not in the voting then ? Oh well..... Garry

[quote name='Coilte' timestamp='1366901409' post='2058788'] IMO, learning the lines to this song wont be a waste of time when it comes to playing jazz. [/quote] 'I got Rhythm' and 'Autumn Leaves' are possibly a better starting point than Moondance. Two tunes that will get you tuned into hearing Jazz related form, 2/5/1's and chord structure, they do wonders for your Lug chops, very important in playing Jazz..[Along with some/ a lot theory of course] Some of the Jazz Twelve bars as well. Moondance is just a load of old humping about. As Bilbo said....Listen to shedloads. Garry

Most of the above, along with Paul Chambers and some of Ron Carters stuff. Check this out - 4 DB's sawing & Pizzing away !.... There is a 'real' Bass face going on with the Pizz player. Night in Tunisia...... [url="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f9-PbqoBA2k"]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f9-PbqoBA2k[/url] Garry

[quote name='discreet' timestamp='1366820464' post='2057668'] [/quote] Oh man....... Garry

Managed to get something done today.. Here you go................ [url="http://soundcloud.com/garrycribb/a-bit-buggy"]http://soundcloud.co...ibb/a-bit-buggy[/url] Will have a listen to everyone's tonight sometime. Don't seem many takers this month. Garry

I suppose you could just throw a wobbler and leave Basschat............... I should imagine a Mod will be along soon and help out. Garry

[quote name='iceonaboy' timestamp='1366541570' post='2053660'] Ive had a few gigs that have led to sex, [/quote] Other way around for me.... I had sex that landed me a great gig..... A marriage and two kids.. Garry

Great band , although i thought some of the early stuff was hit and miss, or as someone above said 'Album fillers'. Loved Sting when he started introducing the Middle Eastern influences into his writing. All three of the Police band were top writers, who all made the mark elsewhere with various stuff. Garry

Down load Reaper, and use it free for this task.[Very small download] If you get on with it, it's cheap to buy. Plenty of Youtube videos showing what you want, for your purpose. The pitching and time stretching is pretty accurate, and if you are not going very far % wise either side of A440 [as in your case] You will more than likely not hear the difference. [Of course most DAW's do this with ease thesedays] [url="http://www.reaper.fm/download.php"]http://www.reaper.fm/download.php[/url] Garry

Got a free day tomorrow, so will join in the fun this month. Also my new Synth arrived today, and i can't wait to give it a whirl. [URL=http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/442/53698251143018889231949.jpg/][IMG]http://img442.imageshack.us/img442/9158/53698251143018889231949.jpg[/IMG][/URL] Garry

Playing to click tracks is not a problem, but quite often it can feel unnatural if you are not used to doing it. Click track recording is not unique to DAW recording, or even new in the past 10 years or so. Many of you would have been listening to music recorded using click tracks, way back to the Tom & Jerry days, and from then onwards.

Good Busking chops and knowledge of tunes is important, Reading chops a great asset - more options for varied work available [shows and acts/turns and some top end function bands] If it is just an ear job and you have not done the gig before, ask for an emailed set list [usually one suprise on the list - but usually the same old stuff] If it's an original numbers one off gig [I tend to stay away from] be prepared to rehearse, it's the bands reputation at stake and less yours. Being out of your comfort zone, might be a good experience for you - but certainly not the other Musicians working with you. Pub gigs, around £50.00 is about normal... Functions/Weddings/Show deps/Corporate gigs anywhere between £100 & £300 depending on distance, finish time and any expenses involved. Corporate overseas weekends will pay more. Having an evening suit of blacks comes in handy, any vocals or backing vocals always a winner. Freelancing/Depping is a great way of picking up contacts. Above all enjoy it

No Major clam, but not on it for sure. I think the vocals are more of a worry. But hey, 'It was the 80's - everyone [50%, some, a few, Dennis] was rejoycing the 'Thatcher' era and having a good time. Iconic - That's not hair on the back of your neck standing up, Just to much Gel on your Mullet..... Garry

I have the U5 - And just love it, more than likely that there are many more out there that do the job just as great. I purchased two second hand for £500.00 [long story but all legal] Sold one of them to a lucky Bassist from South Essex for £250.00. Win win all round, lovely pre-amps. Garry

Great work Bilbo... I have always loved this tune. Garry

Two great vid's i have seen here on Basschat this morning ! Lovely stuff Mike. Garry

[quote name='Kevin Glasgow' timestamp='1365107702' post='2035562'] Hi folks, Here's our new video. This one has a wee bass solo too! [media]http://youtu.be/1gG_dpMdoWs[/media] Cheers, Kev [/quote] Wey Hey ! This is just terrific stuff all round Kevin. The three of you play & sound great together. Great full range Bass sound as well. Something i would download and buy, for sure. [Love the composition] Garry

[quote name='51m0n' timestamp='1365150601' post='2035876'] Because if you dont really know your monitoring situation inside out it is all irrelevant IME, you can have great monitors in an average room and not have a clue how your mix will translate, so spend hours and hours really critically listening to CDs and commercial releases on whatever monitors you have, learn what is good sound [i]in your listening/mixing environment[/i], refer back to these tracks when mixing and you will be doing pretty much all you can outside of a commercially designed and contructed studio. [/quote] Pretty much in a nutshell, and good advice. Garry

Hi Ian, Whenever i have come across anything like that [or i am unsure about] during the rehearsals i always talk it over with the MD or Musical supervisor..... They usually say 'Do what you want, i am to busy with the cast' Not done that show - what about getting hold of the cast CD and having a listen ? It would give you a better idea if things get confusing. Good luck with the show. Garry

More than likely that you are correct..... It's one of those tracks i have always wanted to know who played Bass on [or any of the Musicians for that matter] Oh well, hopefully someone will come along... Carry on all. Garry
