In what way does that take time ?! It's lesson books used by everyone who plays jazz he can start off at vol 1 and progress with transcription books... But hey what did I know

Jamey Aebersold backing tracks... all 106 books... Learn them... you'll be fine...

Might be an idea of focusing on triads of each chords and how they relate to each other. Then add their extensions above the triads. But always try to be musical.

Fat goggle - you got a bazin played one very nice! Where you buy and how much pm details

What are your goals?!

YOlo

You Only live once. YOlo... Mr Bryant does throw a spanner in your ideal thoughts on these "Bespoke" basses... It's the Luthiers choice... [url="http://bryantbasses.co.uk/materials"]http://bryantbasses.co.uk/materials[/url] A Bryant is nothing Special... its a bass that makes an okay sound... nothing desirable... From my experience my sound opens up in changes in technique and really implementing straight bows and paying attention to tension free body... However there are ways to make a bass open up more by playing closer to the bridge with a bow relaxing the weight of the arm into the bow and drawing the sound out from the bass unlike pressing the bow into the bass creating that awful screech... Oh yeh, Powder rosin yo... It's da bomb...

YOlo

I always go with stringzone ubassman pretty cheap and free P+P They're very common in orchestras and I think they're great! they work and inexpensive...

I got it it works.

no problem Daf, Well i could start a thread for trials with the 140B's = ) Can't wait to try these bad boys!

YOLO with a death grip.

You can use white spirit on the fingerboard to clean it.

Innovation 140B is going to be my next purchase

Mtroun I shall pm you.

I've set a goal and I reach them no matter what. That's all. If you're really that interested I'll let you know when I get in. Auditioning in December 2014 -F

He is my favourite bass player to listen too and his teaching methods are on point. So I am lucky enough to be in the uk and working towards this as my pinnacle goal. I have given up to much too give up and go anywhere... Thank you for the kind words!

Yeh I should be there

George vance progressive double bass volumes 1-3 ( I think there may be more cant remember) It takes you straight into making music and is a great little beginners book. It is a rabbath book which is another story which if it interests you check out the techniques. A tutor is advised with the bow as its a difficult beast to tame... Good luck with what ever you decide

I am not sure where you were going with this long post... Seem unnecessary... I am going to get into the academy and that is all you need to know. Mtroun http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CRqYluR5Aa0 this man is why...

With the money you have to play with... The basses you have in your price range aren't going to be anything to die for! Buy something that will hold value use it until you have more money in the future... You can get bursarys from uni to fund instruments... I know thats what I'm going to do when I get to the academy

Ubassman and I was at the Paul ellison masterclass few months back and one of the students is selling their bass... He was playing the Reinhold Gilere Tarrentella piece on it and the bass sings... https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=10153247011250333&set=pcb.510741085682397&type=1&theater

Awesome, I'm hearing some great stuff about the the 140B's definitely would like to get these new prototypes and possibly try the 140b's on my bass. Cheers Daf!
