[quote name='discreet' timestamp='1336337154' post='1644260'] Plus about a billion. [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Zww7FQILQec[/media] Perhaps this thread should be, 'What's your favourite Jamerson bass line'... [/quote]This is one of the finest recorded songs ever.

[quote name='Gust0o' timestamp='1336043626' post='1639869'] Dude, this could go on a while Probably also a good time to publicise the documentary. 'Such Hawks, Such Hounds' - which is a brilliant watch if you like this type of music [url="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-njKCr6ieKE&feature=related"]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-njKCr6ieKE&feature=related[/url] [/quote]Fantastic film.

Inglourious Bassturd, if you've finished the book, pass it on. There are many Basschatters who would like to sign the inside of the cover with best wishes to OldGit and eventually, it will be in the hands of Mrs OldGit.

Wow! And i love the MTV Spector, brilliant.

Hi Rob, what kind of thing are you looking for? Steve.

Bump. If anybody knows of any drummers who would fit the bill, then please let me know. Cheers. Steve.

Nice basses. I like the Danelectro.

It's ok, they are nothing of the sort. Don't worry about it. youtube and digital editing and being ironic, stink, in my book.

[quote name='Jigster' timestamp='1333573382' post='1603869'] Perfect understaement from Beak, and nice bass tone - but what make is it? A bitsa maybe? [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XoKWLo_f-rA&feature=fvwrel[/media] [/quote]Nice.

[quote name='Fat Rich' timestamp='1333560076' post='1603613'] It wasn't just the 1000 thumbs a second brigade that gave slap a bad name, it was everywhere for a while in the 70s and early 80s and a lot of people got tired of it. As Anthony Jackson said it became the ketchup of bass playing. For me a good slap bass line will also sound great played with fingers or with a pick, if it relies purely on the slap technique it's probably a wasted opportunity to do something more melodic or relevant to the song. There can be a few exceptions though, but not too many! [/quote]The Ketchup of Bass playing. That is brilliant.

Best thread for ages. My wife use to follow NMA around on tour, as a girl. My good friend supported them, many years ago and he loves their music. He applied recently and has been off radar for a few days. I'm gonna ring him and find out what's happening.

Good luck to all, Linus 27, espec. A friend of mine has applied at the last minute. So good luck to him also.

Try as many as you can, someones discription of, smooth, dirty, fuzz, etc, may not be your's. I'm using Bass Big Muff Pi, Boss ODB-3 and Malekko B.assmaster. All sound good but for different things.
