I want to be good enough to never turn a gig down. Guys like tony levin and other rock solid groovers are who i aspire to be like. John Myung, Vic Wooten (his choppy stuff) and the other dudes are amazing but not really where i see myself going. I think everyone has their own situation and if: [quote]I'm honest with myself, I don't really aspire to it. I'm happy just fumbling away on a Saturday night and going home with £60 in my back pocket stinking of smoke.[/quote] Makes you happy then you have won already. G ps - great post

Ped, you have a pm Garry

Nice one man, i really liked the intro part alot. It was quite sound scape esqu. G

The spector finnish is stunning!

[quote][quote name='slaphappygarry' post='7718' date='May 27 2007, 05:48 PM']That is awesome. I suspect you could give marcus miller any plank and he would make it sound awesome though. You wonder how much all those [i]tiny[/i] tweaks made a difference. I suspect in all a little but not a HUGE amount. G[/quote] Yeah but if Fender asked what you wanted, like anything, you'd have a fiddle with all that stuff and try the wierd and different, wouldn't you?[/quote] Totally

Essentially for full protection there are 4 options of cases going up in cost: Gigbags+case; Moulded plastic cases; Wood/aluminium flight cases; Military Hardware cases. [b]Gigbags:[/b] Ritter - good quality, do a range of sizes so something usually fits Warwick - as above, but less 'features' (phone pockets etc.) Overwater leather - nice but very expensive at £200 Harvest leather - probably where Overwater source theirs from, £15 cheaper, but increased postage Gig bags can be put in other cases such as the specifically designed SKB BassSafe if going on a plane that will offer a good amount of protection too. [b]Hard/semi plastic cases:[/b] INCASE - from the states, consdered the best thing between a hard and soft case on TalkBass, they have no UK distribution and only use expensive shipping so Bleedproof was looking at getting a large order together, but that's not been mentioned in a while. Hiscox - great UK manufacture, my personal preferance.

Made from high strength plastics, these are very expensive but can be made air tight and will take any punishment and are usualy lighter that a flight case

G

Got a super cheap geddy lee jazz. Liked it but, like most fenders, knew it had more to offer than it was giving. Aesthetically wanted to change it too. A tonne of hard work, sand paper and dust later and its all done and is awesome. Would do it again. G

[quote]Maybe they're [b]both[/b] on it.[/quote] Thats the only possibility i have to outright disagree with. I just listened to it a few times just now, it sounds like the same player and gear through the whole tune. After the vocals the bass is next in the mix volume wise. It would stick out like a sore thumb is it was spliced with another player (think the last Jamiroquai album where three bass players were used on one track along). On such a concentrative listen i did pick out a sloppy bit though Check out the transition at 1.34 - sounds like a nasty old school edit in the guitar (especially) and drum part (which i think is bang on). I await the flameing I dont know C Kays playing well enough to decide for myself for sure but what an awesome thread. G

An FAQ Forum is a good idea. G

Bass sounds great. that was no where near what i expected though Worth a listen to anyone who reads this G

No difference at all IMHO homer. I just smell (a little) better at the end of a night out. G

Awesome both great shots.

Haha. G

Nah, We just from time to time need some help with little changes, this is a non profit site and its best we keep it that way. Donations are totally optional (and appreciated) and do go a long way. Garry

Tasty man, I love it G

Lovely fender neilb. G

[quote]a bit nasty, incestual and cliquey[/quote] Edinburgh is the same.

Awesome man, its scary the recording bug. I think i am worse with studio stuff than i am with bass stuff. Cheers for the comments though man G

[quote][quote name='slaphappygarry' post='3553' date='May 21 2007, 12:35 PM']That looks really really wrong to me.[/quote] Good job it's not your bass then - eh?[/quote] Hmmm, i am sure its a great bass, just looks kinda banana shaped. Any 'names' use these things? i dont think i have even seen one of those before G

That is really awesome man, I am really impressed. :wub: :wub: :wub:

There have been some minor flare ups in the past but they are generally carefully watched and, more often than not, closed down. G

Poking fun at him. G[/quote] That's all well and good. Can I have mine back too? I don't care if it is a joke - or do we operate a two tier system on this forum?[/quote] I am sure dood will have his removed in due course so, no, you cant. G
