[quote name='MacDaddy' post='992150' date='Oct 18 2010, 12:47 PM']I'm coming to play! will bring my custom Shuker and possibly my Hamer Blitz or Iceni Zoot. [b]Can I ask for/suggest a set up master class? The idea being someone stands at the front and goes through a set up, and we all work on our own basses following the hints and tips. If as many people as possible try to bring their own tools, then lending to the odd person shouldn't be a problem. Will there be the space to do this (an empty classroom?) and is there anyone who wants to lead the class?[/b][/quote] Cool! be good to see you there.. I think this 'set up masterclass' idea is great and was mooted last year - any one out there who has the skills and confidence to lead it?

[quote name='Paul S' post='981682' date='Oct 8 2010, 03:24 PM']This might sound like a daft thing to say but would it be of value to anyone other than myself if someone were able to demonstrate how various amp settings - low gain/high gain, different EQ settings etc - affect the sound. Happy to volunteer my TE rig for the purpose. It is something I just never seem to get time to do it at rehearsal as everyone is always noodling as soon as they get set up, so I press the 'pre-shape' and get on with it.[/quote] This is a great idea if it can be sorted out; perhaps as a workshop in the quiet room area? [quote name='51m0n' post='982200' date='Oct 9 2010, 12:22 AM']Well I'd certainly be up for an informal chat about anything like bass tones and stuff - thats why I'm going, I'm hoping to learn something I'm pretty sure that by the time I've finished yacking about compressors the last thing anyone will want is me to talk more about, well anything actually! Alex C is comng along, he's a reknowned talker about all things bass tone, and a chap who really knows his beans, maybe he'll fill in on this one?[/quote] Alex - what do you think?? Perhaps this could follow on from the compressor talk....

[quote name='alexclaber' post='978131' date='Oct 5 2010, 11:28 AM']I'll be there! Would anyone like me to talk (in an organised fashion) about anything? Alex[/quote] Yes please Alex! be good to see you.. I'll PM you..

Am feeling a little controversial, but does anyone care? I'm tempted to say that JK & his muzak is soul-less, funk-less, pointless production-line rubbish... But that would be an insult to music that is genuinely soul-less, funk-less, pointless production-line rubbish.. And that's with or without Zender IMO.

Just watched it.. What talent and an ability to communicate they both have. To be able to write songs and perform them like that is an absolute gift..

[quote name='socrates' post='972833' date='Sep 30 2010, 03:42 PM']I thought Everything Everything were great too - but am surprised no one has mentioned great bit of bass playing (and quirky moves too) by the bloke with Delta Spirit . . . busy but old-school blue-eyed funky at the same time . . .[/quote] Ah..so that's who they are! Yes - totally agree with you.

[quote name='obbm' post='971444' date='Sep 29 2010, 09:52 AM']Hi Nick, you can put me down for Godin A5 fretless, Shuker PJ5, PJB Cub, PJB-D200, Lakland PJ Duck Dunn and Sony headphones. I should be able to get it all in the Smart.[/quote] Done!

Please let me know if you want anything added to the list!

[quote name='morsefull' post='971228' date='Sep 28 2010, 10:57 PM']Just watched them and must admit the new song's a bit bland, loved the re-worked Deeper underground though. I was saying to my wife that so much stuff's been done before that it's all a bit samey. Then Everything Everything came on and it was fresh , different and exiting. I'm listening to the album "Man alive" on spotify as I type. Reminds me of a cross between It Bites and Thomas Dolby............ Really rather good [/quote] +2 on 'Everything Everything' Great bass player and band with Jamiroquai, but I thought it was very souless as music..heightened only by the musicianship of his band. KT Tunstall was quite good and so was Ray Lamontagne.. and there was a really fresh sounding band (American i think) who had a great bass player; played with a pick but it was really melodic and unihibited!

[quote name='Merton' post='969399' date='Sep 27 2010, 12:58 PM']Can we add MikeyR to the list as well? He'll be bringing my multiscale if it's finished, and prob his Shuker P and maybe the multiscale proto if he can carry it all [/quote] Will do Mert! It's been a busy week or so but I'll update everything this evening..Think I've got a drummer sorted for the Jam Room as well which will be good too... Nik

Genius; absolute genius!
