[quote name='dlloyd' post='515741' date='Jun 16 2009, 08:50 PM'] typing out the titles themselves is taking long enough![/quote] Beats Eastenders though! Garry

[quote name='dlloyd' post='515718' date='Jun 16 2009, 08:37 PM']I think they'd serve better as a list from which requests could be made (?)[/quote] Much better idea... Garry

Ok... I will get those from the list up first. [ will take some though ] Three versions of 'So What' up above . + Two versions of Au Privave Garry

[quote name='jakesbass' post='515642' date='Jun 16 2009, 07:35 PM']Seriously though, Brown was an undoubted bass genius in my mind, there is not a spare or un-meaning note in either of them, not much repitition and they just sing the blues to you all alone,[/quote] Have been watching the Video of 'LA is my Lady' this afternoon. Ray Brown on 'Mack the Knife'...Superb. Garry

So What - Paul Chambers. [ For the solos ] [attachment=27205:So_What_...Chambers.pdf] So What - Neils Pederson [attachment=27206:So_What_...ederson..pdf] So What - Ron Carter [attachment=27207:So_What_...n_Carter.pdf] Garry

Ray Brown's line from Blue Monk is also good (Blues, Bb)[/quote] [attachment=27201:Blue_Mon...ay_Brown.pdf] If i get time towards the end of the week i might start a new thread with some of the stuff from the link you provided. That will keep it all neat and tidy. Garry

[quote name='bassmansky' post='515499' date='Jun 16 2009, 05:24 PM']even a behringer?youre having a laugh [/quote] Even a Behringer. I had to to use a hired one for a gig. The 2x10 combo. Worked a treat. If i was backed into a corner, and had to play with the Ashdown, the Behringer, or Posh Spice. The Behringer would win hands down. Garry

It might be worth putting some up as PDF files, for those without Finale. I have Finale 2009, so i can convert. Any requests ? [b] Edit,[/b] it converts ok. Here is a Ray Brown line for Au Privave [ Just a Jazz blues ] [attachment=27173:Au_Privave.pdf] Sam Jones version [attachment=27208:Au_Priva...am_Jones.pdf] Garry

[quote name='blamelouis' post='513870' date='Jun 15 2009, 09:38 AM']Any updates ?[/quote] The band has been and gone. But they are getting back together at the end of the year for a reunion tour. Garry

The Thing with Norman is he is a Rock & Roller... He was born in the late 1940's... and he has never been to bed once! Garry

[quote name='liamcapleton' post='513467' date='Jun 14 2009, 06:07 PM']with Louis Johnson, Bernard Edwards and Freddie Washington playing them almost exclusively on all the records they played on.[/quote] I know Louis Johnson used a precision in the early days, But i thought he and Bernard Edwards were Musicman guys for the most. Might be wrong, and usually i am. Garry

[quote name='liamcapleton' post='513489' date='Jun 14 2009, 06:46 PM']How close were you to the amp when you were playing? A lot of good amps won't sound good if you're stood right next to them, but will project a fantastic bass sound a couple of feet away, or more. Also the type of room you were in makes considerable difference, etc. etc.[/quote] Interesting points. But i think Bay Splayer is talking about 2 combos in the same room, same acoustics, same distance etc..more like an A/B test. [ i think ] And one out blew t'other.

[quote name='AndyMartin' post='513233' date='Jun 14 2009, 12:08 PM']If "cutting through the mix" is the bag you're into then Ashdown probably isn't for you.[/quote] So its good then for... I dont know what i am playing, having a fumble, And hope know one can hear me... sound? Thanks, one to look out for then. Garry

[quote name='dlloyd' post='512524' date='Jun 12 2009, 11:26 PM']Bass Central is a bit further north in Orlando. Not exactly a stroll from the beach though.[/quote] It took me about 3 1/2 hours. [ driving, not walking ] But it is a great shop. Garry

[quote name='BottomEndian' post='512283' date='Jun 12 2009, 04:47 PM'] But not shoes. Furniture. I can see it now in the For Sale forum... "Music Man SUB 4 FT... anyone got a nice English oak 2-over-3 chest of drawers?"[/quote] Garry

Good grief, Dont leave it to the wife... She will sell it all on Basschat, Then blow it all on shoes! Or trade for shoes. Garry

What about trying something musical. Forget pedals , loops and noise, everybody is doing that. Doing something musical might make someone sit up and listen, and think F**k, i like this guy, he is original... Garry

Jake... I had a Deluxe Jazz 5 hired for me out in Berlin about a month ago. The B string was a bit floppy, and the whole thing was set to a no action. I Just got the tool kit out, [ take your keys and screw driver ] and it played fine. The active / pre amp sound is not that great, infact really honky. [ for me ] I just used my Sans Amp Di..and it all sounded cool. It wont play like other high end Jazz Basses but will do the job ok. You will walk away from Germany with a German Beer hangover and think... F**k, i am not gonna buy one of them... Personally i would be more worried about the German beer hangover than a 5 stg Fender Jazz. They can really hurt. Garry
