[quote name='discreet' timestamp='1336133741' post='1641359'] The current mrs discreet has other plans... Thanks very much for the offer though Phil! [/quote] I like the emphasis on "current" there!

I have a mid-eighties neck-through series 2. If I was ever to sell it, I'd be looking for around a grand I think. Sadly, although I have the original fitted flight case, the foam has deteriorated so I replaced it with a new Hiscox version. Much lighter!! Bearing in mind my S2 cost me £1300 in 1986, it has held its value pretty well!

Half day on wednesday?

Cool thread! Interesting results. Just goes to show that people hear what they want/expect to hear!

That is massively cool!! Happy Birthday indeed!

[quote name='BottomE' timestamp='1335786803' post='1635922'] You have to take each experience on its own merit - its not exclusive. [/quote] Every musician is an individual. Every band is composed of musicians. I don't understand why anyone would assume that all audition experiences would even be similar - never mind identical!! From personal experience though, I would say that it was common practice for the band to choose the songs. It depends on the circumstances though. If they are looking for someone to slot in very quickly and there is only a very short time to prepare for the audition it would of course make sense to choose songs that the auditionee already knows. If I was auditioning a bass player I would choose probably three or four tunes that represented a range of bass styles. For example a simple groove-based track to assess timekeeping, a fast riff to check out dexterity and accuracy and maybe a slower and/or more melodic track to see whether the bassist has much in the way of taste. YMMV of course

[quote name='bubinga5' timestamp='1335900161' post='1637815'] Luke those Geddy's have japanese pups.. [/quote] Really? I thought they were US "vintage"?

I don't see whats supposed to be so funky about him. Is it 'coz he is black? Self-indulgent effects fiddling and a few tired riffs is all I can hear. He seems technically sound, but just has nothing to say IMO. Sorry - I would like to like him! Some of his better work...

Needs more compression....

[quote name='Happy Jack' timestamp='1335523945' post='1632524'] My own unenlightened experience is that nothing makes a mic start to feed back faster than covering it with your hand ... [/quote] This.

[quote name='GregBass' timestamp='1335338404' post='1629348'] Remember - ain't no such thing as a bum note in jazz. It's just a really clever minor 9th harmony. [/quote] I prefer to call them "chromatic passing notes"
