[quote name='clauster' post='811642' date='Apr 19 2010, 06:32 PM']For rehearsing tracks at home I use a mini-jack to my mini mixer from Garageband or iTunes. Works fine. Also works well enough the other way for demos for bad consumption only.[/quote] What's a mini-mixer?

I currently have a jack to mini-jack computer link that is OK. Should I look at a better connection for rehearsing?

Bass players slagging Sting? Have you heard him playing and singing some of his sh*t? Outstanding.

[quote name='walbassist' post='805776' date='Apr 14 2010, 10:00 AM']Was this in a shop? Those Guilds are terrific basses. Medium scale IIRC?[/quote] [quote name='OutToPlayJazz' post='805780' date='Apr 14 2010, 10:03 AM']Looks like the one advertised at GuitarGuitar.[/quote] Indeed it is! Glasgow shop.

1970s brown Precision and a Hohner Steinberg copy.

Built like the Tour Eiffel with frets like railway lines! Superb. 20 year old Guild!

Jaco was the coolest cat on the planet....from the waist up! Those white trews!

Sounds like you'd be better promoting your local shop and getting endorsed by them to get a discount on all the gear YOU want!

[quote name='Crazykiwi' post='801210' date='Apr 9 2010, 08:20 PM']He's in NZ at the moment with James Taylor. I was going to meet up with him in Christchurch yesterday but I couldn't get time away when he was available. Really professional guy and very sincere although he's a very straight talker too. I understand why he's a first call session bassist, he takes nothing for granted and really does give the job everything he's got. But by the same token, its a hard life if you have to play despite the effects of jetlag! Tonight he's in Auckland and then they fly out to Japan. He had 2 weeks to learn all of the songs for the James Taylor tour and it was doing his head in but he stuck with it. I'm not sure the band had much by way of rehearsals either so talk about being thrown into the deep end. He seems happy enough so far.[/quote] JAF J = jealous A = As F = .....

Seen this guy live and he's phenomenal. Nice bass.

It's Hetfield's tribute to Cliff Burton so I wouldn't worry too much. JH wears Burton's iron cross ring.

Classy looking!

Gorgeous bass.

One in, one out policy.

What would be best?
