[quote name='silddx' post='1030334' date='Nov 20 2010, 12:34 PM']Christ, that's good! Can someone explain tied notes to me please? The only point I can see for them is to make it possible for a note length with a dot to go down to a further fraction. Is that right?[/quote] I hadn't got a clue, but this explains it- [url="http://www.studybass.com/lessons/reading-music/tied-notes/"]Tied Notes[/url] Cheers, Rob

Now that is one sexy bass.

Well I just scored "Bass Clef Newbie", although on Monday I couldn't even finish the thing! Of course it'd be easier if someone could post a tab for it... ...it's ok, I've got me coat

[/quote] But seriously....I [i]really[/i] like that pickguard, it just seems to suit the Bongo shape.

[/quote] And then people will be asking "Is that a genuine relic?"

I like it. There's a kind of ''Killing Joke" feel to the track (no bad thing imo), I like the synth bass sound too. And of course there's some hot emo/goth girls with piercings and New Rock boots; my kind of venue ;-) Well done guys, very well done indeed.

[quote name='steverickwood' post='1014596' date='Nov 6 2010, 06:25 PM']Thank you Rob thats very kind. The articulation on one verse bugs me on that tune!! I used a Fender Geddy Lee via Boss gt6b (compression I think). Did all my parts in one day after a 'dry' spell where I couldn't come up with parts that were interesting without being too 'muso'. The trouble is I did every last part of those recordings: I am not a singer, or a guitarist etc but some things are so personal yu just have to![/quote] Kudos. It's nice to hear some songs rather than the usual "look fast I can move my fingers" stuff that people put on YouTube all the time. [quote name='steverickwood' post='1014596' date='Nov 6 2010, 06:25 PM']I have an album of Micks called 'Bestial Cluster' - always thought he had a great sound and wonderful ideas on that. Around that era there were so many stereotypical players on fretless or slap style that people like him and les claypool were immediately interesting just because they went a bit outside the box.[/quote] "Bestial Cluster" is cool, "Dreams of Reason Produce Monsters" is worth a listen too.

[quote name='steverickwood' post='1014551' date='Nov 6 2010, 05:43 PM']Fair play! I see you got a Mick Karn pic - bad to hear his state of affairs at present hey?[/quote] Yes, very sad. Mick's playing got me into fretless bass, and I'm still trying to the hang of those weird, eastern sounding lines he comes up with. By the way, that's some nice stuff on your YouTube channel, nice bass tone on 'Silent Scream'. Cheers, Rob

[quote name='steverickwood' post='1014504' date='Nov 6 2010, 05:18 PM']Godamn - so you're the Darkhorse who prevented me getting my nickname as a username?!!![/quote] That'd be me!

They look great! Nice fretless too

Totally bonkers....I love it

Couldn't afford drums. Seriously though, I just loved the sound of the electric bass.

Oh the poor beast! (Go on though, get it working 'as is' and do some sound clips, enquiring minds gotta know!)
