RAY AGAINST THE MACHINE

Just thought about GarageBand on the iPad . Think I'll probably be better off using that. )

There's me thinking reload is probably the worst album they did. I remember once when they played Wembley arena for the first time. (Think it was an added date on the justice tour)anyway, the sound was muddy at best. Jason played a pretty Inaudible solo,which sounded like a buffalo being slaughtered. Jason was awesome in every other gig I saw him in tho'. As for cliff, I asked him about his sound. He just said 'get a phaser' ,)

I've been noodling around on soundcloud , over the last couple of months,and the enthusiasm is slowly increasing.I have ipad, mac mini, effect units, and of course..basses. I've been using my oxygen usb keyboard, which has spent most of its life stuck behind a door.) (was a bit dismayed when I found out only today that I can't use it as a sampler..duh!) So I cannot plug my bass in the back>) Anyway, if I did get one, I would assume it would take some time for me to get to grips with it. I think there is an app that acts like a sampler, but I don't know how complicated it is. Can anyone help? cheers

Interesting thread. After getting fed up of playing in covers bands, I've started recording bits and bobs on soundcloud. I've only just started a couple of months ago, and am enjoying that. I did enjoy playing live, but after regular rehearsals(other than when other band members couldn't make it) I was often playing in front of one man and his dog.) Then you had to keep looking for pubs, chasing them up etc.. I was thinking of starting a 'band' , where a group of us jam/rehearse and instead of gigging ,we do you tube stuff instead. People would probably think I'm mad,) , as all people I've played with in the past got bored of rehearsing and wanted to get 'out there'

Ugh! Cheap imitation of original

Niiiice bassss,)

Thanks alot guys,) btw , may as well tell you how/why I ended up with so many basses . 1st proper bass:Washburn Had a hohner cricketbat(couldn't afford Steiney at the time) Then fret less many years later. Then I got real steiny. As I was listening to alot of metal playing low notes,got the schecter 5. My friend Chris at ch guitars, was getting his business started so I got 6/i8 string. He later got me the bass on my avatar,) Got tele bass o eBay , as the band hated my headless. Will probably keep it as when I sold my cliff button autographs , I said I'd get a real bass for em. Finally, the dean taxi bass, rare and I got a great deal on fleabay. Now my thoughts are that I may not get much cash back for some basses,so may exchange for some easy to use moog effects(replacing my fx units in the meantime) Hope that wasn't too exhausting to read,)

Thanks for the good advice,)keep it going. I should've pointed out that I do have interface(GarageBand/logic express which I need to d0 more with)and studio monitors.the basses are all different(5/6string which I hardly use/fret less etc. some are expensive/rare some cheap ish. I suppose I'll always use a bass so will keep 1or2. When recording I play through my mac mini. Haven't used the Aguilar stuff for ages. May be therapeutic for me,)

Believe it or not ,this isn't a doom n gloom thread.) I was just thinking , I have 9 basses , a lovely Aguilar amp setup, effects units which I don't use enough. 9 basses! Not greed , but. after years of not doing anything, I was doing loads for the next7-8years Since I got the iPad (itt was a toss up between that and a kaossilator), I started attempts at recording things on soundcloud(user name mellowcat) I doubt very much that I'll be doing the band thing anymore . I wasn't sure about the recording side of things,but although it takes time , I enjoy it . Mostl of the stuff I've been recording has been from the kaossilator app on iPad. Thinking of getting korg wavedrum as a present to myself at some stage. May even sell everything and learn the moog stuff. What are your thoughts ?

Paul! I have to tell you something strange. About 7 years ago , I was walking near Holborn tube station and a nice chap approached me. ( I was on my way to Putney for band rehearsal.) Anyway, this band was looking for a bass player. and I was given a business card.It was for your band . Not the kind of stuff I play , but your band is very good and whoever goes will enjoy it,)Very talented!! Have a bump , and I will see you one of these days Cheers

Glad things are looking up for you. But I think the others have already given you some sound advice,)

It's all gone to pot. Not sure if CH Guitars would have them. You did cancel the order didn't you...?

Please close this, and any racial posts ASAP .( I know it's not intended on a bad way, but it all ends up badly, Let's keep things upbeat , remember what kiwi said ,)

Thanks for replies .Mj55: are you selling yours? If you are , could you please send me pics etc. ? I have 3 + effects units ( boss me 8b , me 50? The blue one, and zoom b21u) If this looks as good as those , I would buy this from you , and sell others . Cheers ,)

Wow. Nobody have any ideas?

Sorry of this has been mentioned before ,) I stumbled accross some you tube demos , and this looks like an awesome unit . Downsides..Price! Oh , and you have to attach the Roland pickup to your bass. Was wondering tho', if you put P /up on a good bass(ie not my '77 Telecaster) Would it make that much difference? In theory , any bass would give same results. If one was available for trade , I would have to look.) Anybody used/got one?

I would have thought that , you would treat everything here as 2nd hand . Basschat is the place to buy ,)

Talking of Denmark st; graham Noden does repairs there and Is good, and a nice bloke

Thanks dood,) unfortunately I have m audio radium 49 .the 61 doesn't work so I assume this won't either. Yeah, it has USB/midi on it too. May pickup a cheap iPad friendly keyboard instead.

I have an old radium keyboard, and was thinking of buying one of these . But if I get it, the keyboard may not work. So, I noticed the non apple versions . Anybody done this?

I was crashing over a friends house last year. I'm terrible at guitar, but his daughter had a brilliant hello kitty axe. The action and feel was very good

Play supersonic , and some might say. I did in my other bands no probs,)
