[quote name='6stringbassist' post='233405' date='Jul 6 2008, 12:00 AM']These are brand new. I ordered them from the makers in January, they erm...arrived yesterday, the makers have had a few problems. These are the 2nd set that I've had, the first set (in April), were totally the wrong size, they let me keep them and sent me these as a replacement. They were ordered for my new Sei bass, but obviously never arrived in time, and the bass is fitted with a set of Bartolinis, and I couldn't be happier with it, so I can't be bothered with the hassle of changing them, and have the bass re-routed. Here's a link to the website [url="http://www.q-tuner.com/bl6.shtml"]http://www.q-tuner.com/bl6.shtml[/url] As you can see, they're $320 for a set now, that's about £160, but these can be yours for a bargain £100.[/quote] Long shot, but I don't suppose the wrong ones were 5 string? Did you keep them aswell? If not, who bought them and what are they like?

[quote name='Paul Cooke' post='231738' date='Jul 3 2008, 06:24 AM']cute, but not cute enough... needs bar lines and notes drawn with correct duration to match a selected rhythm... and a greater choice of rhythms... I'm currently printing it off, and drawing in bar lines myself setting things to just quarter notes... ie 4:4 cos that's what they are...[/quote] I know what you mean, but it works slightly better (read: Harder) if you play to a set rhythm as described below the stave. Choose any rhythm you want.

Jazz Bass tutors in Northern Ireland (Derry to be precise)

[quote name='jakesbass' post='231647' date='Jul 2 2008, 10:49 PM']Mikey, I've been to NI a few times and honestly have never come across anyone over there, Be sure to visit the Giants Causeway if you haven't already. There is a bit of a scene in Belfast but....? I will ask the guys I know if they've heard of anyone over there. Jake[/quote] Thats what i thought. I'm going to live with my folks for a bit and have been over there basically ever year a fewtimes since i was born. Derry has a 'jazz' festival, much like other towns/cities have 'jazz' festivals, but haven't ever met any real jazzers. I went to sligo jazz project last year and met a few guys i can play with, but no one of the standard I would need as a teacher. I'm gonna see if they can recommend anyone aswell. -
[quote name='bilbo230763' post='230422' date='Jul 1 2008, 11:53 AM']Charlie Hunter - Right Now Move - some great grooves a la Medeski, Martin & Wood but with Curtis Fowlkes on trombone and John Ellis on sax/bass clarinet. Fernkky![/quote] I have everything minus the last album that charlie has done and this is one of my favs. I was gutted when I had to let my 8 string go, I was under the delusion that one day I might have been able to play like him! Kenny Garrett-Simply Said has been having a few spins because of Chris Dave on drums. This week has mainly been checking out my vinyl... Oscar Peterson - Nigerian Marketplace (oh NHOP I love you so) Kenny Drew and NHOP - Duo

It looks most likely that I am taking a year out from my jazz studies and moving to Derry for a year. There are a few reasons, one is just so I have a year to REALLY practice and it would be nice to have someone to check in with and work with say every few weeks or once a month. Any Teacher recommendations!? Ideally Advanced teachers who have a deep understanding of jazz. I know Derry isn't exactly the mecca of Jazz but thought someone might know somebody in NI who fits the bill. I don't mind travelling as it won't be that often.

I felt the same switching from my mesa boogie walkabout to the phil jones suitcase and cab. But for me both have their benefits and I don't prefer one either way. Although I was partial to the beastly epifani/swr rig of Nicks at the midlands bass bash last year. Being a non driver throws that out of my options though.
