    Fender Pbass (feat. Jazz neck) - *SOLD*

    in Basses For Sale

    Posted · Edited by Ceebass

    Hi all,

     

    I'm selling my lovely P bass, which was put together by the legend @Sammybass from quality parts. It's got a modern Mexican jazz neck, a Mexican body from the '90s and everyone's favourite Seymour Duncan pick-up. The pots, machine heads (Gotoh, I think) and bridge have a cool burnished/ aged effect and it's in good cosmetic condition; I've tried to picture the few minor dings. Full disclosure: the E string machine head is missing two screws (like this when I bought it), but this hasn't affected the tuning stability at all. I've gigged this bass a fair bit, and it has always held its own!

     

    I don't currently have a spare gig bag or case, so dropping it off or meeting up (within a reasonable distance) would be preferable. However, I'm not opposed to sourcing a case and posting at cost- I'm up for a discussion.

     

    Selling this at pretty much the same price I bought it for (plus a little extra for service & set-up work); I hope someone gets as much enjoyment from it as I have. Any questions, give me a shout.

     

    Cheers,

     

    Will

    Emma Electronic OctoNjos - *SOLD*

    in Effects For Sale

    Posted · Edited by Ceebass

    This delicious pedal isn't seeing much use at the minute, so it's up for sale. Massive gated fuzz & gnarly octave in one. No box but in excellent condition. It's been well-gigged and has velcro underneath, but has always been well taken care of. Happy to post for £5.00.

    MXR M87 bass compressor

    in Effects For Sale

    Posted

    Now surplus to requirements, I'm selling my ever-faithful M87. Super transparent and flexible compressor, with excellent metering. It's been gigged a lot, but has always been on my board and is in excellent condition. I'm pretty sure I still have the box too! Not particularly looking for trades, but open to the possibility. Happy to post for a fiver.

    His output is prodigious and I don't agree that all the songs he thinks are great really are great. although some of them are. But just check out the video I linked to. I'd be astonished if you didn't like it.

    I'm a bit on the fence too. I really love his playing and musical ideas, but I find his approach to education can be lacking in insight or subtlety. This video is a good example- it seems like most of the script is 'then it's this chord then this chord and then it changes key and I'mlikewhaaaaaaaaat!' 

    Funky theory?

    At the risk of sounding annoying, I honestly think the best thing to do is to transcribe/steal/learn some licks from guys you want to sound like. Even in the most ubiquitous funk tunes there will be some cool ideas for the taking (all those great Bernard Edwards lines in Chic/Sister Sledge).

    In terms of the vocabulary/theory, perhaps the rhythmic content is more significant than the melodic- it's really worth listening to and working syncopation and accents. When you mentioned 'taking the funk out', that's what I immediately thought of! 

    In terms of chord/scales, there is a lot of pentatonic stuff, with or without 'blue notes' and use of the dorian mode (e.g. Good Times). I do reckon it's better to learn/copy/trascrirbe ideas first, then rationalise/theorise afterwards- that way you'll be able to learn how to use scales in a musical way.

    Nice one Bilbo but this really should be in cut time. I've laboured through transcribing the whole album and it is a riot to play! There are some really, really difficult but also exceptionally melodic and interesting lines. Not Yet, the last track (reproduced from the 1985 album Why Not, which is interestingly different to the version on this album) is a nightmare to play to tempo :)

    First time hearing this track........ It's just so great. Thanks Bilbo!
