[quote name='Low End Bee' timestamp='1322151308' post='1447289'] I have a theory that a lot of famous bands/artists have too many people around them telling them everything they do is great and they start believing it. A lack of criticism and self regulating crap filter ends up with poor output. [/quote] That could well be the problem in this case, IMO. [quote name='silddx' timestamp='1322150436' post='1447276'] Or harmony. Their songwriting is very poor these days. I don't like his vocal melodies, the awful mixing and mastering. There's no sweetness to their songs anymore, no energy, no beauty. They seem to have so little to say.[/quote] Yep - Geddy's vocal phrasing is slapdash... and they don't write songs any more. They assemble licks in ProTools.

There's just no [i]melody [/i]in the lines anymore. Come on, Geddy... sort it out!

I ran my Focus for years with Sansamp and EBS pre's. It was fine, it did the job well, but it missed the oomph of latter-day switching amps. It reminded me a bit of the RH450...?

That is SO cool.

First of all, I love Rush, and like a sheep I'll always buy everything they release. But.. I'm struggling to think of what Geddy's last [i]great[/i] bass part was. Y'know the sort... Marathon. Turn the Page. Digital Man. Freewill. By-Tor. Distant Early Warning... before everything got buried under chords and flamencoesque clattering. I think it's Alien Shore off Counterparts: [url="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-E0RrVXy9Uw"]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-E0RrVXy9Uw[/url] Prove me wrong, people! What great lines have I overlooked from Test For Echo, Vapour Trails and Snakes and Arrows?

Thank you

[quote name='neepheid' timestamp='1322136095' post='1446919'] Damn, that's annoying. I only like mobile view if it gives an advantage (which in many cases it doesn't). I guess I'll just have to either use another browser just for basschat or go into the settings every time I visit. [/quote] There's a 'full site' button at the bottom. That seems to drop a cookie which keeps it in full site mode. As it 'appens, I really rate the mobile site anyway. I can't see me shifting to full site too often.

Just a thought - I don't know how relevant it is to most, but.. Since the upgrade I can follow a thread just by reading the torrent of reply notifications I get in my inbox. I don't really have to visit the site, which in turn means there's less chance to get involved in other threads, etc...

I've not really noticed any change as I tend to stay out of off-topic. It's the same old stuff over and over again.

Hi folks Been in the studio recently with one of my bands... here's a tune from it, which is pretty rocky for me. Recorded on my fretless P. I wasn't around for the mix, so I couldn't fight it's corner. it speeds up like a bugger, but we decided to free this one from the tyranny of the click, because of the nature of the tune. I think it works... [url="http://soundcloud.com/wateroftyne/hm"]http://soundcloud.com/wateroftyne/hm[/url] And here's a sampler of some other tunes...

[quote name='gary mac' timestamp='1322087494' post='1446488'] For me the feel of Bass Chat has certainly changed in recent times and not for the better. Ironically I guess it's due to it's success and growth. [/quote] To be fair, there's a thread along these lines every year or so.

if you want controversial tittle-tattle, there's always the Daily Mail.

If you discount a bass because of how it plays, without taking into account a decent setup.. you might miss 'the one'.

From a PM exchange this afternoon: [quote]I used to be called Howard the bass player until folks heard me play. Now i'm just Howard.[/quote]

Disney music? Soul-less? Never! The Princess and the Frog, anyone? [url="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qbAW_x177lo"]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qbAW_x177lo[/url]

[quote name='PauBass' timestamp='1322036828' post='1445588'] Tried that and still not working. With Firefox everything works fine but not with Chrome, I can't even reply to posts [/quote] Hmmm... time to start disabling toolbars and plugins, I think. Failing that.. reinstall...

[quote name='EssentialTension' timestamp='1322036034' post='1445577'] I saw Genesis supporting Lindisfarne at Birmingham Town Hall but top of the bill were Van Der Graaf Generator. [/quote] Ah, the Six-Bob Tour. I wish i'd been around in those heady days...

Fine here too. [url="http://www.google.com/support/chrome/bin/answer.py?hl=en&answer=95582"]Clearing your temporary files[/url] may well sort it.

Lovin' it. :-) Cheers, BC gods!

I did a couple of EUB gigs with my Promethean, and it was great. Clear, no mud, and a little kick-stand so I could angle it toward me.

I love the Streamliner to bits, but there's a bit of chat in the megathread on Talkbass suggesting it's not the best match for the AE212...
