Odd why it doesn't work after getting fixed only recently. Any update on the issue?

Yeah, me too with my Android. Was ok for a few days after all the great work getting the site sorted.

Sure is. Great to be back to buisness.

Thanks. It's getting a bit frustrating as the home page looks awful at pressnt. Looking forward to buisness as usual soon.

Still not working!

[quote name='MoJoKe' timestamp='1353010426' post='1870559'] I will be there, working with MSL on the MarkBass stand... come and find me! I'll be the one looking like the semi bald git in my avatar!! I am a dedicated MB user and will have my pair (fretted/fretless) of Lakland 55-02's with me, along with my JV '57 precision... come and have a play on them! [/quote] I'll be sure to stop by the MB stand to say hi and check out what's on offer.

I thought it might be something like that. Thanks for your quick reply. I'll check again soon. Better play some of my free app games then.

I have been happily viewing the site on my Samsung Galaxy S2 since I've had it. I liked the way the pages are viewed on the mobile screen and there was a great slide down menu to log in, view new content, notifications etc. However, today when I loaded the pages they are viewed as if I was on a pc. This is a major hassle as I cannot navigate the site easily and have all but abandoned going on Basschat unless I'm on my laptop (as I am when creating this post). I have checked my settings, but nothing has changed or been updated to cause this. I also tried on my wife's phoned but that was the same. Plenty of other web pages display ok as they should for a mobile. I will admit I don't know much about how web sites or smart phones deal with displaying web pages. Is there anything that has happened to the site that may cause this or am I missing something else? I need my fix of BC on my mobile, so I hope someone can help. Edit. BTW when viewing threads on the mobile there is no way I could find to go the last page, which is a hassle if you start looking at a long thread.

I'll be going on Saturday with one of our sons who plays guitar. Any other BC's going?

James Jamerson with his 'hook' one finger technique? He made it his own and sounded great. Not sure if you would call it terrible technique, but 2 fingers are generally considered as being 'normal' technique. If I played with just 1 finger I would sound crap. Even with 2 fingers I would struggle to play some of his lines.

OK. this is the transcription for the whole song from a 1993 guitar magazine. Our guitarist has shed loads of these mags and always seems to have transcriptions for the songs we need. Enjoy. Edit. I had a look at Evil Undead's tab and it's good, but it's only for the first half of the solo. The second half is different, although you could repeat the first half. I have done a few variations of this when I have forgotten the order and mixed it up and also changed a few notes. It's worth doing it right if you can and also getting the correct rhythm variations between the verses and all the runs. Also we keep the syncopated bit in the 2nd verse the same as the 1st verse to make it easier. That second verse bit is odd! Our drummer did it in his old band and the bass player did some real lame-ass version for the whole song. Don't make that mistake. BTW you need a decent drummer to get the feel right.

[quote name='Marvin' timestamp='1352835345' post='1868189'] Glad I'm not the only one. Remembering the damned part is the most difficult bit [/quote] IMO it's better than the guitar solo.

I have the notation with tab. PM me your email and I'll scan and send it to you. This part is totally different to the rest of the song and will need some work to nail and remember it. I have to keep practising the song because of this section. It' great when you get it as it's a blasting bass line. I'll give you the whole song so you do it all justice.

Well put. Not a heavy post imo. We should not forget what a lot of people have been tbrough in order for us to be in the position we are, whatever your opinions of war and conflict are.

Sounds awesome. A friend of mine knew someone who had 2 tickets for sale, but I had a gig on Friday so had to pass. Similar situation when they played Wembley back. Still got to be one of the best live bands out there.

They will notice you if you stop playing or make a really bad mistake

FWIW I have reported it too.

I hate all 5 string basses and basses used for slapping. Opps sorry, thought I was writing my piece for BGM Bassically Speaking

Another +1 nickel for nickel round wounds

Our band detunes to Eb. TBH I have had no real problem doing this with any of my bases. I use 45-105 strings and make sure that when I 'm detuned my bass is set up for that, but for me there is not much in it. a few song have drop D as well! The E String seems to hold up fine, although it sometimes it wants to slide off the top of the neck if I'm not too careful.

Try plenty of picks. I favor 1mm Dunlops. I don't rest my hand anywhere. If you rest on the bridge I find it restricts you somewhat. Take it steady at first. Practice some 8th note lines and build up the tempo. Also build up on the string changes. Alternate pick as much as you can. Plenty of good advice already mentioned here.

Bassist was a great magazine. I too have quite a collection. I may be interested in selling, and will check what I have and let you know.

I have the previous Trace Series 6 AH200 head. I favour boosting the low mids for a tone that really cuts through. I rarely go above 1.5 on the volume and have been told I'm too loud a few times. I only go through the PA in larger pubs. Any Trace should deliver a massive sound and volume. Your's should be more than man enough. For the hollow stage try a gramma pad form Auralex [url="http://www.auralex.com/sound_isolation_gramma/sound_isolation_gramma.asp"]http://www.auralex.com/sound_isolation_gramma/sound_isolation_gramma.asp[/url] I have one ad they do work. Many BC's sing their praises if you do a search. +1on a different cab. Maybe lookout for a cheap Trace cab?

They were a vocal band alright, which is their best part. I'm glad they are still going, but like may long term bands thery are not as good as yesteryear. A touch of irony in my original post.

The sound was pretty good this time. Muse were ok and Madness was probably the best song from them. What was that bass he was using? It looked like Mansons got their hands on a Status and stuck on one of their touch pad things from Matt's guitar. Good to see Chris slapping again in the second song PIL were good and that Baglama playing was memorable. The Beach Boys were disapointing and had way too many people on stage. I lost count of how many guitars there were (4 or 5?) and everyone seemed to do backing vocals. Didn't watch anything else as we recorded it for Muse & PIL really.
