I cut mine down to only Two. [Well three, Charlie Parker Omni book in Bass clef] Mark Levine & Samual Adler. The Samual Adler book is ongoing for me. Mark Levine book i poke into every now and then. I seem to get more out of transcribing these days. Garry

As a freelancer, for me my essentials are.... Volume pedal, Sans Amp DI, Tuner. I have the rest, Chorus, Octave pedal etc. But will only take or use them if i know they are [really] needed. I keep it lean and clean and as less fussy as i can, mainly because its then a hassle free time with the engineer. Garry

'Magic' Musical moments in pop history - I was talking to someone yesterday about that very thing. Something magical to ones self is not always magical to others. I think that chord unites everyone and goes down in Music folk law. Would be interesting to see what other 'moments' people on this forum can come up with. Garry

[quote name='Bilbo' timestamp='1329336225' post='1540944'] So, now we know. Its G, C F A and D. In theoretical terms its a voicing of a F6/9 chord (F, G, A, C and D = i, III, V, VI & II (IX)). Paul played the D, which is the relative minor. [/quote] So its a case of how many Beatles does it take to play a Jazz chord [D Minor7 add 11] ? Garry

[quote name='pantherairsoft' timestamp='1329238598' post='1539388'] I always get mine form the same eBay store - [url="http://stores.ebay.co.uk/Babz-Media"]http://stores.ebay.co.uk/Babz-Media/DURACELL-PROCELL-BATTERIES-/[/url] £7.49 for 10 Duracell Procells. More you buy cheaper they are as well. I've been using them for all batteries for about 18 months now. Generally arrive within 2 days, often next day and usually free delivery too! [/quote] Thanks for the link, going to order some stuff later. It also looks a handy place to get tools for the Cat Burglar business. Garry

[quote name='BassmanJN' timestamp='1329145211' post='1537744'] Ah, yes, it has Studio One - the reviews I read must have been out of date. O_o [/quote] And it is great. Enjoy. Garry

[quote name='BassmanJN' timestamp='1329144108' post='1537713'] Thanks everyone. I think I'll go with the Presonus. We have an 8 input Saffire for "bigger" recordings. i'm not overly concerned with vocals, since I'll be mainly doing instrumentals/sketches to share with the band. I like the idea of Cubase LE too (which is bundled) since we do most of our mixing/production in Cubase proper. [/quote] Is it not their own DAW [Studio One] bundled with the Presonus ? Garry

The [original fake book] standards where usually from Hollywood & Broadway show tunes, Tin pan alley etc. Pop tunes of the time. Or as the Americans call it - The great American song book.... Garry

[quote name='BassmanJN' timestamp='1329130329' post='1537416'] Wow, it really looks like that for the price, there anything that can beat it! Thanks for the tip, this might well have to be purchased... [/quote] It's a great little box. As a bonus it comes with a version of Studio One, A total gapless Daw - it might turn your head a bit and turn you on to the full version.... It really is the easiest DAW of them all to use. Another great unit to recommend... Roland Quad Capture.

[quote name='Chris2112' timestamp='1329066380' post='1536699'] Lee always puts amazing bands together. Check this one out, Abe Laboriel on bass and Perry singing, absolutely amazing stuff. [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tkki_TWm2S0[/media] [/quote] LR & Dave Grusin video with Abe Laboriel is another good one. Garry

[quote name='M-N-Y' timestamp='1328989225' post='1535830'] Another of my favourite tracks is called 'Take for example this' from a Billy Childs album recorded in the late 80's early 90's. Awesome stuff. check out this video of JJ playing with Lee Ritenour, great groove and a very nice solo around 2.20. I love his bass sound it has a really zingy feel to it.

Nikita - Mrs Elton John, Really nice in you face Bass line that builds & emerges through the fog of 80's Synths & Reverb. Garry
