Just practice it over and over with your fingers, like others have said starting slow is a good way to build up your skill and confidence. This is a really cool rhythm that I like to play a lot, you'll have loads of fun once you've mastered it!

[quote name='spacey' timestamp='1368553812' post='2078510'] Great stuff, you just need to find an Engineer who will work on a bass tone now, try introducing a mixed 2 ch of mic up up cab and di mixed unless the warm dull organ pedal tones is the sound you were after. Many recording buffs want the bass done in 1 take straight in the desk, line 6 pod effect compressor on and done. In the good old days they worked at it a bit, hence famous players had distinctive tones. Stand out ! On styles, Rublux meets foo fighters ? Who are Rubylux ? wake up... [/quote] The bass was actually the engineer/producer's 73 P recorded off a DI and a mic'd ampeg amp+cab, I personally think the tone is quite beefy and suits the rocky feel of the song but I guess everyone has different preferences when it comes to sound otherwise the world would be a very boring place!

[attachment=134753:poster.png] Here are our June tour dates, hopefully some of you that enjoyed the video can make it along

Thanks guys it really means a lot to get compliments from musically-minded people! We filmed the music video in an abandoned house just outside of glasgow which was really cool, we just blasted the song for a couple of hours and rocked out! We're touring the UK at the start of June, I'll put the dates in this thread when it's all confirmed and hopefully some of you will make it along and check us out live!!!! Thanks again.

Thanks for listening guys, glad you like it!

Great fun to film, let me know what you guys think! [url="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9BhPsB9lSmU"]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9BhPsB9lSmU[/url]

I get away with a OBD-3 a DS-1 and a tuner, I do have a wah wah and a synth pedal that I keep at home though... silly noises galore!

[attachment=117633:customP.PNG]I've been really unimaginative....

Gig was really embarrassing, I think a good drummer makes all the difference. The guys in the band I was playing for thought it was really good though, maybe my standards are too high and I'm a musical snob?

I'm depping for an originals band on thursday night. I've seen them play before and wasn't really impressed with their rhythm section. Practice tomorrow so I'll see if it was the drummer or the bass player that was holding them back, not looking forward to it as I've been playing with the same drummer in my main band since we were 13!!! I'll report back tomorrow.

We are very image concious as a band and we make an effort to put on an exciting show for the audience and for us aswell. I can't imagine going to see four guys standing still and the crowd going nuts.

@McNach The pot was damaged so I replaced it with a status one (the only company I could find that make 100k/100k stacked pot). Some dogey soldering later and it works but doesn't sound as good (to my ears) as the original. Only ever really play my Fender Jazz now though so it's not the end of the world.

I've got the older, cheaper version in a funky blue with a pearloid pickguard and pearl blocks on a rosewood neck. Very showy and very bright sounding but I dropped it and f***ed up the stacked bass/treble EQ knob so is now stuck at a default treble boost which makes it hard to use.

Gold hardware is a dealbreaker for me, chrome or black all the way

I think it says alot about the strength of the song that it works well as a pop song but it's accessible to fans of other genres depending on the way the band plays it. Respect to them for mixing it up.

I've got a Microkorg XL too, I mostly use it for pads and whatnot in quiet songs. Just out of interest where did you find the additional patches from Korg?

Was at their glasgow gig last night! Really great show, amazing to see them indoors too, makes so much difference. Josh's guitar was awfully quiet though.

Queen - Live at Wembley '86

I've got a micro-korg XL that I take onstage, the presets are definatly more based on dance music than anything else but once you learn how to programme sounds on it it is very versatile.

I use the Laney RB9 head with a 410 cab and my bandmates always comment on how punchy it is/ how much the mids cut through. I don't know how the RB410 compares to my cab but the Laney head, if anything doesn't give enough low end!

I love the way only the string core goes over the bridge saddles on F bass basses, does it affect the sound or just look cool?
