  1. Thanks Gents for playing along. I've had some good laughs.
  2. Crikey. Give me a chance. I need to get the basics before anything that advanced. I've almost perfected the the Log Float from the first edition. That simple illusion where by bobbing down then up slightly while supporting the bass with a hidden hand, retaining the bass height, makes the bass appear to 'float' on stage.
  3. Maybe if you lift your corresponding leg as the neck goes up, and call it the Half Angel, you'll own that?
  4. I may have mis-remembered? Sorry if I'm getting things mixed up. From memory, the Bass Sniper used to be called the Bass Canon, until Flux Pavilion released his single of the same name on 19th March 2011. Phallic moves are not so well known. unlike more conventional and popular moves you may have used yourself such as the Bus Wiper, where the neck is swayed vertically from high to low at medium pace, or with intermittent regular stops at the top.
  5. Thank you. It works a treat. I feel a bit daft now being rather obvious. You're spot on too. The One Pump Chump is listed as a dependency to the The Zip in the specifications for the standing position. Someone suggested going directly to 'Bass Sniper'. Unbelievable.
  6. A very good point. Although I have substantial liability insurance, I intend only to do this on larger stages such as on world tours and possibly cruise ships (if visible on stage) where the risk of poking someones eye out is reduced, as can happen in pubs. I'm hopeful that when I fully master the switch-back, with strong audience eye contact and head-twist winking, I will be generally admired.
  7. I heard he stopped after laddering his glove?
  8. Hi. I've been drawing on influences of the likes of Steve Harris and their impressive phallic bass moves. I'm working on my own moves and know the importance of practice but need some advice, and where better to ask than here. The move I'm concentrating on primarily is 'The Zip', executed in standing position. I place the butt of the bass body into the inner thigh extending the bass towards a would-be audience. At the end of each phrase I thrust hips forward, slipping the neck through my fretted hand to produce a glissando. That's all fine. I'm struggling to remember the correct technique for the switch back move. Mine's not looking so graceful, and I seem to end up with my feet to far apart? No doubt I've missed something silly but hopefully someone can remind me how it's done and I can get this popular move practiced to perfection.
  9. @Chiliwailer That calmed me down. Hypnotic and soothing. Made me feel bad about misbehaving in the power boat.
  10. @Leonard Smalls Clever the way you spliced menacing with euphoric vibes. Cool track.
  11. Time to launch the power boat and tear about skimming the waves (watching out for surfers not). https://on.soundcloud.com/t6WHqInScsnszHvFov Drums: Samples. Cymbals: MT POWER DrumKit 2.

  12. @Baloney Balderdash It's a sonic monster. Fantastic. Again, all original style. I'm a fan.
  13. Thank you for the votes. I got lucky this time. See you all for the next round. I was inspired recently when fishing at a wonderful village called Olhos de Agua on the Algarve. I took a photo and think it would be very suitable to inspire us again to create. te he.
  14. I couldn't resist making a track about air fryers either. Production: Ableton v9 | Line 6 GX with POD Farm | DT 770 PRO Drums & claps - Found some drum samples and put them in the drum rack.

  15. @Chiliwailer Great the way this evolves. Good solid sound too. @Baloney Balderdash Intense and unique. Masterful stuff. @Leonard Smalls Huge dreamy funky sound, and cool vocal track. @Jean-Luc Pickguard Effortlessly flows though an uplifting journey. @lurksalot Vibes like a live performance. Great energy. Cool track.
