I need your input please: if we don't get 20 names the T-Shirts won't happen! I currently have 13 names with sizes.......[/quote] Keith, if you don't get the 20 names would you consider a, " I couldn't make it and am really hacked of about it, especially as i have been having some lessons from Geoff Chalmers" purchase to make up the numbers?

Its a 3 Band Eq.....Unless Overtanglewaterwood are blatantly lying on there Product brochure! ........That is where i have acquired my information (reproduced word for word!) Stop Press! Brochure Evidence Possibly inadmissable? Jury still out! Verdict....2? or 3? ....Try One Yourself![/quote] Martin, quote from Martin Lee, who I think works for Overwater. [quote name='martin lee' post='1163574' date='Mar 15 2011, 08:49 PM']Hi Ead, I do believe there has been some miss information regarding the contemporary jazz bass circuit, its actually a two band. Volume(pull bright), pan, treble, bass. hope this helps [/quote] I tried one in Moffat in February and they are definately a 2-Band EQ

[quote name='Born 2B Mild' post='1179703' date='Mar 28 2011, 04:27 PM']Here's the other vid I took of Scott & Geoff. Apologies for the sound quality ...my camera, not the excellent Markbass/Bag End backline! If anyone doubted that a pair of bass guitars on their own could be enjoyable to listen to, then watch this...[/quote] What a knockout version of Blue Bossa

[quote name='david_l_perry' post='1179223' date='Mar 28 2011, 10:33 AM']Cheers guys for organising this event. Had a great laugh, and got a nice Jazz book..although tis not the usual Jazz mag I am found with..[/quote] Looks a great do and gutted I couldn't make it. When you have digested the Jazz book Dave, I wouldn't mind a look.

[quote name='Wil' post='1166251' date='Mar 17 2011, 08:57 PM']Well, some people say its all in the fingers. I think having the right gear has a lot to do with it though, personally. Learning to tweak your EQ to get the sound you want comes down to experimentation I'm afraid, it tends to vary from bass to bass, amp to amp and room to room. Do you have any examples of bands where the tone does it for you? That would give us a good starting point to advise you from.[/quote] It is in the fingers. Mate of mine was round last week. Used My Bass(es), My Amp, My Settings and got the tone I have been after for years. His Bass, His Amp, same sound. I mean when Victor Wooten moved to Hartke, did his sound change? No

[quote name='ThomBassmonkey' post='1163886' date='Mar 15 2011, 11:47 PM']Are you sure? Looking at the pics of the contemporary Js, I see 4 knobs. [/quote] (1) Volume(pull bright), (2) pan, (3) treble, (4) bass. I think Martin works for Overwater so i guess he should know. I tried this actual bass at the moffat Bass Bash and it was definately a 2 band Eq.

[quote name='setekh' post='1163865' date='Mar 15 2011, 11:14 PM']And is something inherently wrong with that? The price is way too high (for a few quid more you can just buy a new one), though.[/quote] Absolutely not. If someone is prepared to pay that sort of price for a damaged instrument when a new one is little more, more fool them. I just found it funny that when asked if it indeed was the London Show Bass, it vanished from the For Sale section to appear on e-Bay for nearly £50 more. No doubt some mug will buy it. Just wondering what would happen if you offered the price it went for at the show.

[quote name='Machines' post='1163811' date='Mar 15 2011, 10:22 PM']It is the one from the show. The seller (different username to eBay) had it on here first until I queried it with him then he pulled it a he didn't want members here to think he was after a quick buck ![/quote] Which he is.

[quote name='ThomBassmonkey' post='1161252' date='Mar 14 2011, 01:00 AM']It was nice to see the Tanglewaters (as someone dubbed them earlier), they seem nice instruments. I was tempted to pick one up but it just didn't quite feel right somehow.[/quote] It was Chris May himself that christened them "Tanglewaters". That's what he called them when he brought them up to Moffat for the Feb Bass Bash.

[quote name='Machines' post='1160676' date='Mar 13 2011, 04:48 PM']Oh you mean this one ? I was very impressed with it. Image featuring niceguyhomer and MythSte .[/quote] Image featuring niceguyhomer and MythSte just before the OW guy came and switched the amp off?.

Tux Guitar is awesome and FREE. You can import Guitar Pro into it and output to various audio formats AND MiDi.

+1 for G&L. It's my "Get out of jail free" Bass. Normally carried as a back-up, but if the room acoustics are bad, I can always rely on it to get a great sound the really cuts through. You don't need the US ones either. Having played and owned both, there is so little difference it isn't worth it IMHO. I've had 3 of them. Regretted selling the first and the 2nd went when I got my ultimate combination of Blueburst with Maple FB. The neck is very P-Bass like as well.
