    GMR always incredible build quality...

    Maybe the worst cover EVER

    I saw him play with Kevin Coyne's band in the early 80's. Quite a flashy, Jaco-inspired player. I remember him yelling at the soundman during the interval to turn him up!

    Yes it's sycamore. The other one is a short scale Iceni bass made to my own design by Mike Walsh.

    I basically do the downstroke 'tugbar' thing (the Brian Wilson thing mentioned earlier in the thread) but flip my hand back to use fingers... so then its a floating. 90% of the time I'm using my thumb to pluck the strings. Nothin' fancy. I'm guessing most of us use some sort of hybrid technique...?

    I learned to play along to that first album.

    Chris Squire. As a matter of fact I'd still like to sound like him.

    I enjoyed Cate LeBon. Quite nice to hear prominent bass lines played with that 80's sound - a jazz bass and chorus pedal, Old-fashioned Avant - to use a confutation. https://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episode/p0c91cpy/glastonbury-cate-le-bon

    Crikey that Acinonycx is beautiful. I want one.

    I'm quite amazed how much 'much-loved' music I dislike. Listing it here would be utterly pointless.

    Music nearly always sounds better without bass. Bass guitars are not necessary especially in Rock and Pop. As bass players we should all remember that!

    A great composer too (as above). I'm always impressed when bass players are part of a deep culture of experimentation and musical exploration.

    Very nice. That's probably the model I'd go for if I ever ordered another bass.

    best value DAW

    Spoombung replied to gjamer's topic in Recording

    I've used Logic since the C-Lab days on Atari and it's great, (especially with the updated samplers). If you can afford the overpriced Mac you'll enjoy the underpriced DAW (£200)

    Gorgeous

    Move to Liverpool where you can hear the Fab Four here, there and everywhere.

    I don't like it. The guitar sounds are horrible. The stripped down version for two pianos and the version for piano roll are really good though.
  22. Spoombung
    There are other bass players and Bernard Edwards.

    Ibanez Mikro £170-ish. I love mine.

    Glad to be put right on this. I'm aware there is confusion about who played bass on the different eras of Serge recordings due to lack of credits. Someone should write a book on it.
