Mykesbass

Whereabouts in Cornwall - I don't have any contact details, but the head of music at Cornwall College nr Penzance is an amazing player and plays in various combos. (Long story why I know this, I have nothing to do with the guy or the area)!!

Many thanks Bill, using the two cab outputs it is for me then.

I played the California Social Club once - in Ipswich!

[quote name='Bill Fitzmaurice' timestamp='1423057247' post='2680082'] Electrically the result is identical. The only advantage to connecting the cabs indepently to the amp is that the current going to the second cab doesn't have to also go through the cord to the first. If your cords are of sufficient gauge that won't matter, but if they're undersized it might. [/quote] Hi Bill, If I can borrow this thread for a moment, if you are using good quality leads does the length make any difference - just thinking the lower cab will need a long lead, whereas if you daisy chain you can use two shorter leads? Thanks, Mike

Beautiful bass but can I suggest this version of the song for the stunning, muted string bass tones: [url="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4DuWOMqc9-M"]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4DuWOMqc9-M[/url]

[quote name='Clarky72' timestamp='1423133237' post='2681092'] Coarse European grass I think. Love how this has turned into a gardening thread already! haha!! [/quote] Sorry Clarky72, yes the bass is stunning!

[quote name='Clarky72' timestamp='1423133072' post='2681086'] I think the pics were taken at Yamaha in Spain. [/quote] Ah, posts crossed, so yes, probably is! (artificial turf)

[quote name='waynepunkdude' timestamp='1423132951' post='2681081'] I'd say, look at the size of his garden. [/quote] Is that artificial turf?

Solo, or bass-centric stuff - nah, not for me... Modern heavy rock styles, ditto.... This? loved it!!!! Amazing track - brilliantly played, excellent production and melodic and musical - oh the joys of an open mind

Possibly get some insight to the more general things that get discussed on here - image being one (including the use of specific basses for that reason), there are probably some crackers Pro/Name bassists could add to the Strange Things People Say To You At Gigs thread. Not sure what value they would be on here on the gear front though, as they are playing in such a different setting from most.

Congratulations!!

3 ply Mint - that white is just a bit too white IMO (the blue is gorgeous though).

[quote name='Bilbo' timestamp='1422873140' post='2677668'] I had an older guy (60+) come up to me at a Jazz gig I do regularly, just before I was about to play with Alan Barnes, and say ' your bass was too loud last week, mate. Can you turn it down? After all, the bass doesn't really do anything, does it'? 'No, it doesn't' I said. [/quote] Ouch! Is that the event you run? If so, could you ban him? (least he deserves)!

[quote name='Dad3353' timestamp='1422848438' post='2677529'] I'll set the ball rolling, then, shall I..? [url="https://soundcloud.com/dad3353/i-think-i-can"]I Think I Can...[/url] Enjoy. [/quote] Nice work - surely will break the duck this month (unless Skol bans you for being one second over the 5 minutes)

This just came up on one of the Facebook pages I get - lovely looking bass - eyes peeled!

[quote name='JapanAxe' timestamp='1422786560' post='2676659'] Hey phaty, welcome to Basschat! Nobody will mention the w@r! [/quote] Unless it's with Eric Burdon - now there's a band that doesn't get enough attention around here! Welcome to the forum phaty.

Well done Old Ben - a terrific month for compositions - thought it may have been even tighter in the voting.

[quote name='Truckstop' timestamp='1422650464' post='2675282'] Vibe, man. That album sounds great! It's got all the little niggles and background noises that give classic recordings a great feel. There's quite a few occasions where things sound a bit 'laid-back'! Truckstop [/quote] I'll have to start using these terms when my pitching is out Don't get me wrong, I love the band, and am not one for over produced, highly polished work, it's just that particular bit really grated on me hence wondering if it was my ears!

[quote name='discreet' timestamp='1422649748' post='2675266'] It's not out of tune - it merely has [i]a vibe[/i]. [/quote] Mojo perhaps?

Is the guitar in this track (particularly at 0:16) out of tune or is my hearing having the night off? [url="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l4MSGKdI-Gc"]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l4MSGKdI-Gc[/url]

I vote every month - really doesn't take that long, as I'm sure most people can work out in just a few bars if a track is going to work for them or not. Every month I find at least one track that I genuinely like, this month there were four that I thought were great (and all very different from each other). Only negative - I don't like the photo concept, and a few times tracks I felt were musically weak won (or at least got votes) due to being closely linked to the picture at the expense of far better compositions. Constructive suggestion - as the time thing seems to be an issue, is there a way a dedicated Soundcloud page could be put up with all the tracks in one place, rather than going back to each individual link? Keep up the excellent work Skol303 and all the participants! Mike

Just sold my Yamaha RBX4 to Benebass - great communication and quick payment, pleasure to do business with. Mike
