[quote name='andydye' timestamp='1328598834' post='1529604'] Cool, whatever gets you the right noise eh! Have you kept the lakky stock or changed any bits matey? I know some have swapped all the electrics but I kinda like mine as is... [/quote] Mine is how it is.. I've got a couple older laklands, with Bartolini pickups.. and a couple newer with "lakland" pick ups which are actually made from Hanson guitars.. when they bought lakland a year or so ago. but yeh on that vid im using a standard Skyline 55-01, love them!

[quote name='neilb' timestamp='1328548499' post='1528893'] Your usual Lakky Phil? With a pick? [/quote] Usual Lakky indeed.. Just a 55-01 and yes. on this i am using a pick and Guitar Distortion pedal, EQ and COMP. (just incase anyone cares) thanks guys! don't really post TV stuff up here.. nice that its well received

[quote name='Monckyman' timestamp='1328534484' post='1528552'] Completely "live"? Edit to say, I don`t actually care how live it is. I personally think it`s harder swinging a click driven song, so kudos. [/quote] yeh all live. bv's on track though

Never done this show before.. so this was a first.. hope you all dig. [url="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=78Pn5RNVK4E"]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=78Pn5RNVK4E[/url]

[url="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZBHidxft8hI"]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZBHidxft8hI[/url] just a little thing i did last night when i was bored. mainly to try out different camera/edits but i'll share with y'all.

I use a Cannon SLR 600d and sometimes with the 550d It's all good. syncing music with video is easy enough.. these camera's are the cheaper in the SLR range.. recommend a 50mm lense. but the standard ones that come with it are cool.

http://youtu.be/joncDaL8i30 A little video/Live Arrangement from W3 (Youtube.com/w3tvonline ) (Twitter @w3official ) It's not stuff we normally do as "W3" but most of the guys all do pop stuff, it's a bit spontaneous hope you enjoy! Phil

[quote name='JakeBrownBass' timestamp='1324423273' post='1474205'] Been watching it on facebook mate, loving it. Really need to come watch you guys play! [/quote] cheers jake! yeh dude u need to come hang in london next year for a few days..

[url="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lwLxXn8xagI"]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lwLxXn8xagI[/url] hey guys, have a new tune from the W3 album.. let me know what you think! Peace and grease

Some videos of my band from our london jazz festival show supporting the pb underground... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CK49fIQPKtk&feature=channel_video_title hope you enjoy!

yes jake!! nice one on the gaia.. if im honest.. Pop gigs nowadays dont come about unless you can play synth bass.. and also program/edit your own sounds.. to match the bass stems on the recoed.. The Roland Gaia is a great VA synth.. mono and polyphonic.. Little phatty is also a great 2 oscillator synth but a mono analog synth is going to have more depth with the sounds it creates.. than various VA's depends how specific you want to be.. with the sounds your creating.. and what your wanting to do with a synth.. but dont knock synth bass.. all of MJ, Prince.. and various Stevie wonder is all on synth.. its been pretty integral in the last 20/30 years to the development of bass playing, harmonically, melodically and sonically

[quote name='Moos3h' post='1285501' date='Jun 28 2011, 06:16 PM']I'll be 100% honest, I can't stand her recorded music but it was a really enjoyable performance - shame the bassplayer let the side down with a criminal lack of Fender action though [/quote] hahaha yeh sorry bout that.. Laklands are nice tho, they work perfect for the gig.. i have some fenders... but nah. hahaha appreciate it all guys! thanks

I am studying jazz at RWCMD but don't particularly find the course fulfilling the teachers are awesome, but there's no structure on the course and lessons are far and few. Anyone been to The Institute or have any experience with it? or recommend any other courses/colleges?[/quote] Dude, if anything.. being in london's a good look! the teacher's at tech and insitute are wicked! depends what you wana learn with your course.. n what you wana do? there's always issue's with every school i'm sure.. but have a look into them.. just being in london theres so much going on ya know?
