If they're not, you'll come away thinking 'F*** me, I can do better than that'. More seriously, don't give up mate. Anything that's worth doing doesn't come easy all the time. And definitely do not stop posting on this forum! I love your Youtube links.[/quote] thanks dude

yeah but dont you want to vote on my favorite color poll..??

There obviously wasnt something right... i respect the chap who told me hes a friend and a great keyboard player.. really knows his theory.. i think i need to analise my playing and see whats wrong... i felt a little bitter about it but there is no point in getting angry..

[quote name='Clarky' post='1214821' date='Apr 29 2011, 01:05 PM']B5, I can guarantee that you are a leagues better bass player than me. I can't read, I sit on root notes etc. Your technical ability (whatever it is) is perfectly adequate for many bands, so wave goodbye to this lot and there will be someone else out there in which you will fit in perfectly. Chemistry between band members is more important than ability IMHO[/quote] thankyou Clarky.. nothing like good ole Bass Chat guys to cheer a man up..

[quote name='Jigster' post='1214809' date='Apr 29 2011, 12:57 PM']did they say anymore about what they meant ie. about lacking structure?[/quote] Yeah it was basically the fact that my chordal knowledge wasnt up to scratch.. i agree.. ive always been quite a loose free player... thats why (if i dont give up) i maybe need to start disiplining my self..

Feeling very down at the moment.. just got kicked out of a band.. im thinking lately that im loosing direction with my playing... they said im lacking structure in my playing, and i know what they mean.. ive been thinking it for a while any advice for a wavering bass player... im thinking i need to start reading.. thats if i dont just give up playing...

Im really into my soul house music.. especially Masters at Work..Gene Perez is the master at this ... a good ole standard jazz bass hes playing on this cut.. check out his playing.. its SUPERB!!! [url="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nc8aCFWjdDk"]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nc8aCFWjdDk[/url]

i love this band called Globetrodders.. to me this the ultimate funky laid back hip hop.. if you like it east coast but dont want the east coast attitude this might roll with you..

[quote name='chrismuzz' post='1213231' date='Apr 27 2011, 10:06 PM']Am I right in thinking that passive tone controls only serve as a treble cut?[/quote]cuts everything, boosts nothing..

On board redeemer curcuit with no colour ON.. Front Pup 90% Back Pup 100% Tone 60-70% jazz bass heaven..

Vic just took me on a journey...

superb.. that was amazing... thanks for posting..

[quote name='Rasta' post='1208041' date='Apr 22 2011, 10:38 AM']Jo5 with the Lindy Fralin pick ups but then i might be biased (Have of late had fleeting moments about selling/ or trading for a cheaper 5 as i hardly play 5 now if at all......but just not quite ready yet) [/quote] dont you pay in a reggae band.. i recognise that face... very nice JO

[quote name='Linus27' post='1208087' date='Apr 22 2011, 11:08 AM']For me, it would be Fender MIA colours and styles. The range that the MIA Jazz and Precisions have is crazy small. Then go and look at what Fender CIJ do and its amazing. I would personally like more matching headstocks and more binding and blocks on the Fender MIA range.[/quote] i soo agree with this.. Fender USA are way behind the exciting things that CIJ and the CIJ custom shop do..i want matching headstocks, gold hardwear pearl blocks, binding..make me want to buy you!.. flame maple necks, tops.. LTD editions that dont cost a frickin fortune.. maybe thats part of the appeal... they could do more though... The Japanese do it.. sex that sh*t up Fender !!!!! oh if i was the Fender top dog you would love it.. im not saying bling all the time but every bass player looks at a new Fender, why not bank on that, and excite em i have heard on the grape vine that there is a new Fender deluxe comin out that is in the vain of the FMT or QMT.. with the new (proper) shape..that is gonna be smokin...!!!!!!

i will add i remember seeing a EWAF show on Youtube and hated the big show... the music is much better on its own.. you dont need light shows for this music..

i know knowone is knocking VW, but this is a cool vid... his brother played drums on Donny Hathaways "The Ghetto" [url="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nmOl7Q5cQpQ"]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nmOl7Q5cQpQ[/url] a very humble person me thinks.. as a bass player could you be in a better band?????
