    Great book if you want to get some knowledge of the theory of music that can be applied to whatever you’re doing. £10 delivered (heavy book - literally and figuratively).
  2. Burns-bass
    Never used (was a present bought in error) £12 delivered?

    I started playing double bass in a jazz band then realised it’s not music I enjoy playing much or listening to. Perhaps this is heretical, but it was soullessly virtuosic. (Not all jazz is this, of course, and I still love to hear genuine innovators, I’m just not ever going to play Autumn Leaves badly again.) Anyway, that explains why these books are for sale. All prices include delivery. Bass Clef Real Book - £25 Jazz Bass book - Goldsworthy - £14 Pettiford Jazz Bass - £12 Topics in jazz bass - £14

    Love that you have a bass room. That’s a man who has won at life. Music sounds good. Very moody, simple and beautifully played.

    I may have bought something (I did). Some good bargains especially on the BBs (which is what I bought) and the PA stuff. Given its Yamaha, the stuff will likely be perfect. https://www.yamahamusiclondon.com/Offers/?_gl=1*1k4nnxx*_up*MQ..*_gs*MQ..&gclid=CjwKCAjwjffHBhBuEiwAKMb8pKszUsFJuW8f6fqcYPaSa7BDJ19Kv9pCOMRfVry1PJeWpUO3nmllyBoCaLkQAvD_BwE

    Feeling like your bass playing is stuck in a rut? It probably is! Here are some books that can help you…. Prices don’t include postage. Pettirord jazz book - arguably the first ever bass method published in 1962. Interesting (but not challenging or complex) - £10 Rush book - £12 Theory method - all 5 for £15 Advanced bass & Funk entudes - £5 Buena Vista (piano boom but you have the bas figures) £4 Pop Basslines - free if you buy another book. Someone was a fan of Go West and had a go at writing on the book. Or £35 for all of them.

    I bashed my thumb playing football (at 43, how stupid). A few weeks off won’t harm you. Just don’t rush back and if you feel any pain never play through it.

    Speak to the medical professionals. In my experience, doctors are usually pretty helpful if you ask them a direct question. Never crowd source health advice on a forum and never take a chance with your long term mobility. Good luck with the surgery.

    Such a shame.

    I’m usually a negative Nellie but I like this. Agree you’ll want to check it’s got the original pickups but looks great and if the regret is good and sympathetically done (doesn’t chop out loads of binding) it should be good for a long time.

    It’s not my place to go into details, but a friend of mine had a poor experience with Lenspeed.
  13. Burns-bass
    I don’t know what was on it but they were immediately swapped for Chromes which sound fab.

    I’ve got a red one. It’s currently for sale but I think I might keep it

    Indeed. I think you're effectively paying £100 just to be in a room with them. So many of these big gigs are a disappointemnt, too. I'm not a Cure fan really (I've never really tried), but Robert Smith speaks eloquently and passionately about this and I really respect that. Didn't they do something where ticket prices were limited to a price ceiling?

    A lot of the Oasis stuff was about generating a false sense of scarcity. So many people attended those gigs to prove they were there and you weren't. A friend of mine went and said that about 80% of the crowd spent the gig filming it on their phones. It's utterly pathetic. I've heard similar stories of Paul McCartney gigs, etc.

    It's probably because the only bands big enough to flll the monster venues are heritage acts. I went to see mercury music prize winning Joe Armon Jones with two of the best jazz playing sidemen I've seen and it cost me £8 and there were barely 200 people there. A few minutes' walk away Mark King was slapping the beejesus out of a Jaydee for 3000 people.

    Very nicely put. My brother went to see Kraftwerk a few years ago and I think tickets were around £50. A Bristol gig now is around £100 or more a ticket. Insane really.
  19. Burns-bass
    Definitely be a crime if you stain it, and you’ll deserve punishment.

    These are the best flats IMO. There borderline useless until the protective coat on them has worn away.
  21. Burns-bass
    Nail on the head. Deffo stickers. Looks really badly done (like I would do).
  22. Burns-bass
    Players like Ray Brown would rarely play a scale up and down I guess but his book has some great scale exercises with intervals that are really musical.
  23. Burns-bass
    I think in real life they’re probably all funny and engaging, like all bass players. Alas, the characters they’ve created are awful…
  24. Burns-bass
    I love that film. Forgot what it was called! I don’t think I’ll ever work with people in the creative industries. I’m more interested in CBT stuff I think. I’ve certainly benefitted from that.

    Boughy my Stagg EUB. Was happy to wait while I managed to find packaging for the beast and we came to a sensible and fair deal for everything. Just a lovely, easy transaction with Basschat royalty.
