    Donkeys years ago i went to Music collage in the states.... And the advice i was given for the audition was.. Try to show some Musicianship.. Rather than just a Bass chops merchant with stick on ears.. [ And at the time i proberly was both ] Whatever you do try and make it sound musical. A chordal arrangement of a tune is usually good for that. Good luck, with whatever you do. I am sure it will be fine. Garry

    [quote name='BigBeefChief' post='358647' date='Dec 19 2008, 11:21 AM']I will look when I get home. Can't listen at work. If it's anything that could be described as "Jazz" or its kiddy-fiddling cousin "Fusion", then I'm setting fire to my face.[/quote] You might need to buy a Zippo on your way home. Good stuff though.

    Both... The options for work will be greater. Also when reading you really do need to listen to the other players. It helps so you are all phrasing together. Garry

    [quote name='SJA' post='348987' date='Dec 8 2008, 08:11 PM']the bit where it goes to Db is a lot like the opening phrase of Jaco's Teentown.[/quote] I was thinking of the chorus on 'Come on over' [Jaco solo album, the track with Sam & Dave on Vox] Garry

    [quote name='thepurpleblob' post='348960' date='Dec 8 2008, 07:42 PM']What's an NE worth do you recon? A bit of cash adjustment either way is perfectly possible. I don't see much more than 800 quid in the Yammie but it neither here nor there unless someone out there wants rid Just an idea, I'm just open to offers if someone can use a MM4[/quote] It depends on which model you are talking about. There are 2. The cheaper one comes in just under a grand. [url="http://av.uk.freeads.net/music/studio_+_band_equipment/Yamaha.+Nathan+East+Signature+Model+The+Nathan-178728.htm"]http://av.uk.freeads.net/music/studio_+_ba...than-178728.htm[/url] The dogs one around £1700.00. [url="http://www.soundslive.co.uk/product~name~Yamaha-BBNE2,-Gloss-White~ID~3446.asp"]http://www.soundslive.co.uk/product~name~Y...ite~ID~3446.asp[/url] So if you are talking about the cheaper one... You might be lucky and someone will take you on. Garry

    [quote name='thepurpleblob' post='348686' date='Dec 8 2008, 03:03 PM']I'd happily look at something like a Yamaha Nathan East[/quote] Have i got this right ? You want to swap a MM4 for a Nate East Yammy 5 string? Or is there cash involved? Just curious... Or has the market gone f@8k off tits up.. Garry

    [quote name='zigmondo' post='348926' date='Dec 8 2008, 06:56 PM']I can also say that the bassline is not original and is from a song of around 15-20 years earlier...blowed if I know which one though! S' OK: hose me down in napalm if I'm in error. [/quote] Also in the main riff, when it goes to the Db bit... Its a Jaco quote... And again...Blowed if i know which one though... Garry

    [quote name='thepurpleblob' post='348466' date='Dec 8 2008, 11:51 AM']TRB-5p is still made. Don't forget that's the very fancy through neck one.... They're heavy money.... [url="http://www.soundslive.co.uk/product~name~Yamaha-TRB5PII~ID~2922.asp"]http://www.soundslive.co.uk/product~name~Y...PII~ID~2922.asp[/url] The older ones are very well regarded and should still fetch some proper money I would think.[/quote] You beat me to it..... If Trev does a deal for one of them [ Swap ] I think the boys done well.... Great Basses. Garry
