It really makes no difference whether bass is easier than guitar; because in the grand scheme of things, they're both two of the easiest instruments out there.
-
Nope. I have bad gas, but it's a little unfocussed at the minute. Keeps swapping between a few basses that I'm considering.
-
I love flats. Got a nice set of Steve Harris ones on the shelf that I still haven't tried and am looking forward to.
-
Another +1. Tell us about the sound.
I was hoping to go try the Blacktop P and J this weekend but that's not going to happen now. I'm particularly interested in the jazz to be honest - assuming it's a nice mix of a jazz body with a precision-esque sound. -
It is a bit worrying; on the other hand I tend to think that people find ways around these kinds of problems. For instance, I love ebanol fingerboards so am reasonably confident that guitar/pickup makers would find ways of making less rare woods and synthetic products sound great.

I only opened this thread to see who would be the first person to say that.
I'm still thinking how I want to define cool here... Might post a suggestion later. -
Cool story.
You could tune the other strings down to create standard C tuning (C F Bb Eb) which would be a bit easier to learn on and play along to other things with. Not as easy as standard tuning though obviously. -
Very cool! (The walk and the music).

Sounds good to me!!!

Got to have one!!!
How does it sound playing jazz or metal?
Edit: I'm aware that it has little trebble; I'm not really a treble kinda guy. -
Since "my band" is a long way off being ready to roll, I find I have a lot of time when I want to play bass but can't think of anything to play. Came up with this idea this morning and I'm giving it to you for free. That's right, a FREE idea.
Made a playlist of one track from each of the sets I saw at Sonisphere, and the ones I would have seen had I not only stayed for one day. Now playing through all the tracks - it's great fun.
Just to complete the post, here's the list:
[b]Friday[/b] (I saw these, w00t!)
Cry Baby - Japanese Voyeurs (check them out, they're excellent)
I Am The Law - Anthrax
Hangar 18 - Megadeth
Dead Skin Mask - Slayer
Blood Sells - The Defiled
The Call Of Ktulu - Metallica
[b]Saturday[/b] (Didn't know half the bands so not sure who else I would have seen)
Refuse/Resist - Cavalera Conspiracy (Sepultura cover)
21st Century - Bad Religion
Say Just Words - Paradise Lost
Temple Of Love - Sisters Of Mercy
[b]Sunday[/b] (Wish I was there)
Nemesis - Arch Enemy
Too Much, Too Young, Too Fast - Airbourne
Killed By Death - Motorhead
Keelhauled - Alestorm
Martyr No More - Fozzy
Left Behind - Slipknot -
Not that I write much, but when I do I tend to write directly in notation with Sibelius. I'm beginning to think that's weird though.

[quote name='Johnston' post='1308250' date='Jul 18 2011, 07:05 PM']Is the take it away scheme still going??[/quote]
I think so, but I vaguely remember someone posting to say they'd tightened up on who is now eligible for it. -
Psychobilly. Bought a double bass but couldn't quite get on with it; so I thought I'd buy a bass guitar and then try to come back to the upright later. I love the bass guitar now though; and haven't yet managed to devote enough time inti progressing with the double bass.

I like her - to me, she's more listenable than many of the other players of that type. And yes, she's more watchable.

This.
Sometimes I really have my doubts whether Jeff actually believes half the crap he says. -
No news on when you can buy these?
-
Unless you really need a detailed analysis (it's one in the morning and I can't be bothered right now) I'll only say that I have an iPad, and iPad 2 and a Motorola Xoom... And the iPad is what I use for everything music. (Not fully migrated to the 2 yet, but it is noticeably nicer and faster).

Fixed.
Funny thing, punctuation. -
I'm tempted by the Blacktop P actually.
-
You can't break the other guy's fingers?
-
Giving this a bump (not that it really needs one) because I'm listening to the album now and it's cooooool!

A device with 8 inputs can't necessarily record on 8 channels at the same time. You need to dig deep when researching each device.
Be wary of spiel in product listings.
Edit: it's got less to do with transfer speeds and more to do with cost. Inputs = cheap, outputs = expensive. So some manufacturers mislead you into thinking you can record 8 tracks, when everything is actually mixed down to 2. -
$100.... !?!?!
Disney's Hercules Soundtrack - who played bass?

Some of the music in Disney films is truly exceptional. Unfortunately I can't help with your question, though I'd be curious to find out.
