Get pissed, shag birds (or blokes if you like)[/quote] Jake.Have yo been sniffing glue? Getting pissed and shagging is good.. But do you know something about the UK weather we dont. Its October.

[quote name='markytbass' post='297846' date='Oct 2 2008, 06:33 PM']Yea, if you look at the piano player thats the same it's just naff editing. It happens alot when you dub the original recording over a live performance.[/quote] Thanks for letting me know. I would not have guessed.. Garry

Nah.... I still think Carole Kaye played the original. And Norman did not learn the line before the mime Shoot.. Garry

Dont forget the beer and Kebabs... You want it all to smell like some old 70/80's Studio. Otherwise it wont sound right. Garry

This might help, Scroll down for Bass clef.. [url="http://www.jazclass.aust.com/basicth/bt1.htm"]http://www.jazclass.aust.com/basicth/bt1.htm[/url] Or this [not free] Had a good review somewhere. Might be worth checking out. [url="http://www.prolevelguitar.com/"]http://www.prolevelguitar.com/[/url] Garry

Well if you are gonna go down the software route... You will need a sequencer.... there are a couple of free ones out there. You will also need a USB or Firewire Audio interface...no free ones out there. Monitors and / or headphones. Ebay a good bet. AS i said in some other post somewhere. For 6 squids you can get 'Computor Magazine' Which has a free Sequencer [ And it is pretty good ..] And tons of Plugins / synths / Drums synths / Distortion / reverbs / delays /Loops etc... ALL FREE....... Then you just sit in your bedroom for the rest of your life.. Thinking what the f**k do i do with this stuff. Then spending tons of dosh on upgrading. [ Because you think it sounds better..or cos every one else says it does. They are the ones with no ears] This also goes on for the rest of your life. But CM is the way to go for software for starting out. I use Sonar PE7 [seq] with an RME Interface.That is about a Grands worth... A pair of Genelec monitors...another grands worth. See what i mean about spending going on and on... I would use the free software route.. And invest in a good interface [ wont spend more money later upgrading ] Or forget all that and just spend all your dosh down the pub.. Much better. Garry

Fattest Bassist in the world / Basschat..? Or Fartiest Bassist in the world / Basschat..? Garry

[quote name='dazco' post='296250' date='Oct 1 2008, 10:06 AM']But how do you get the music onto the computer?[/quote] If you are meaning your bass or gtr etc. You will need to get an Audio card... These all come in various forms and prices. But the M-audio Delta 9236 [ PCI card ], will come in around £45.00. And for the money is Fantastic. Or the firewire or USB cards...more money, more ins and outs. But for what you seem to be after. The Delta card and the free stuff from computor Music, Will have you up and running to a good standard for very little outlay, around the £50.00 mark. You will also need a pair of monitors, But thats another kettle of fish.. Although you will get by with a decent set of headphones. Not ideal but ok for a good starting point. Plenty of guys aboard this site who will help you along. So keep firing you questions. might wanna move this post to the recording section. You get more help over there. Garry

[quote name='BassMunkee' post='296232' date='Oct 1 2008, 09:43 AM']I would like to point out that I don't know who he is, and I've never actually heard of him - but I've never considered a lack of information to be an obstacle to the random trolling of threads... ...I only replied anyway because I was amused at the "How can you be a bassist and not like X" comment, but I'm not really interested...[/quote] To be honest it was you that mentioned funky chops and Jazz / Blues.. I like him for his all round musical approach, what ever style he plays in. Just so happens that his chops are as funky as f**k!... Garry

If you go down the software route. You might want to check out Computor monthly magazine. It has a Dvd with a complete virtual studio set up. Seq, Soft synths, fx plugins and sampler and samples. And its all free, with plenty of tutorials. Cost you £6.99

[quote name='jakesbass' post='296172' date='Oct 1 2008, 08:56 AM']He's a very groovy gentleman indeed.[/quote] Indeed he is... A stylisticly well rounded musician. and i dont mean in the weight dept. Garry

[quote name='BassMunkee' post='294553' date='Sep 29 2008, 02:26 PM'] It's terrible, I shall have a stern word with myself when I get home, and spend the rest of the evening mastering some funky chops and jazz/blues motifs just to make up for my obvious shortcomings in the the "Not Liking All The Staple Bass Players And\Or Bass Standards." department.[/quote] You see....just what i mean... Abe can rock out with the best of them... [ Famous for his pumping 8 grooves ] Carry on the good work in the Bedroom...with your Jazz / blues motifs... Garry
