Thanks! Between this and the Paul Desmond solo, I'm getting a *ton* of phrases to play around with an all 12 keys. Band In A Box has become really useful again lately... There are some tasty augmented lines here. I'm also loving how both Gerry Mulligan and Paul Desmond resolve 13ths. Happiness.

Hey all Last time I posted the solo by Paul Desmond on a recording with Gerry Mulligan playing 'All The Things You Are'. This time, I'm putting in Gerry Mulligan's bari sax solo.

The interplay between these two on this track is wonderful. Pete

I use NoteFlight. www.noteflight.com Also use Sibelius, but as Note flight is web-based it is often available to me in situations where I don't have my 'big' computer around. It's great to be able to share scores with other people easily (on-line).

Ok, sorted. I think....

Really interesting. Thanks. Didn't know the song, but reading the transcription along with the video was useful. Pete

Thanks. You're right, on re-listening, there a few rhythmic things that are triplets which I thought were 1 x 8th + 2 x 16ths. Will sort. Pete

Great stuff on your website BTW. subscribed!

It's great, isn't it! He just develops it so well over each successive chorus too. Glad you have another transcription to compare! Some of the rhythms are tricky to get on paper... More to come on Paul Desmond, I hope...

Hello all Been on a Paul Desmond kick lately, which looks set to continue. I have transcribed all 3 choruses of Paul Desmond soloing on 'All The Things You Are'. I haven't provided the PDF file, but the link to the site where it is hosted (Noteflight) is below. You can hear it without having to sign up.... All the best, Pete [url="http://www.noteflight.com/scores/view/e5698162568f972166cff76346a1479f81145939"]http://www.noteflight.com/scores/view/e569...6a1479f81145939[/url]

[quote name='redstriper' post='878536' date='Jun 27 2010, 12:26 AM']I absolutely agree and I only realised this fact recently after 30 years of having the volumes either full on or off - doh ![/quote] I only realised it this year. Made the same mistake. Also d'oh! The true power of passive single coils.... I still can't find a jazz humbucker I get on with...

[quote name='Ghost_Bass' post='828341' date='May 5 2010, 12:34 PM']A little bit of foam stuked betwen the strings and the bridge will do the trick without spending more money in pedals or basses. If you want a permanent on/off solution take a look at this thing: [url="http://www.bassmute.com/"]http://www.bassmute.com/[/url][/quote] I've had one of these lying around for a while (had it for about 5 years I think, got it when the exchange rate was decent, so wasn't expensive at the time), and after hitting a lot of music shops trying out acoustic and semi-acoustic electric basses and not finding the right sound/feel from different instruments, I remembered this device and stuck it on my Squier. I am satisfied with the results. It ain't a double bass, but it gets some of the way there....and easier than buying another instrument! Edit: For my bass, the best sound for 'acoustic' is rolling off the tone knob most off the way, and rolling down both volumes to around 50-70%. I don't think of the knobs on the Jazz as volumes, really more 3 tone knobs...

[quote name='Audiokostas' post='869751' date='Jun 17 2010, 11:02 AM']I 've been into short scales for quite some time and I will like to add my experience if you can bear my use of English. Quite few of them have been through my hands. Having small (relatively) fingers and incidents of "frozen shoulder", left me with the one-way option of short scales. I' ve been through some crappy ones and some brilliant ones. I will be honest with you and say that the only that they leave me short with, is my vanity on stage. Because when you play bass live with a band you want everybody to see the Man With Bass. As we say in Greece (loosely translated) "Beauty is more important than pain". If the instrument (short) is good (i.e. the absolutely fantastic Landing L2) there is no reason for a long scale. To my ears and fingers at least. There still around (quite few of them actually) and of good quality in fact. The Aria Pro Series II TAB-60, Ibanez AGB200, Epiphone Allen Woody, SX SJB-62 Short Scale, Alembic Series 1, Hagstrom HIIBN are all just wonderful basses. To hold, to look and to play with. Even the cheap Dean XM Evo I used to have (and giged with) was a quite respectable bass. I have to say though that I was not that keen on the Fenders and the EB-0. But that's just me. But, In my opinion I believe that medium scales (32) are the best option (still have two of them) that combine both worlds (long & short) advantages. But that's another subject.......[/quote] Did you ever get to try out a medium scale (32") Fender Jazz (MIJ)? They look pretty tasty...

[quote name='fatback' post='869130' date='Jun 16 2010, 03:08 PM']Mmm. Makes me think I might get a B stock one in from the US. Proaudiostar seem good, and the price difference inc. footswitch is £380 even with postage. I can get VAT back if they charge me that, and I don't think import tax would be too much. Downside is the cost of returning it if it has a prob.[/quote] I got one from Proaudiostar. No problems, and it's done a fair few gigs. Pete

If anyone's selling, I'm looking for one of these...esp in natural...
