[quote name='charic' post='922464' date='Aug 12 2010, 11:00 AM']Im sure there was a difference when I looked at the freq response charts for each... Cant remember though![/quote] Maybe that's just down to the grill & foam linings, though? Agree that dynamic mics are better for miking cabs / drums, or screaming through at gigs. I'd go for a condenser every time for recording acoustic instruments.

I've just been A/B ing the two versions you linked to, and though I'm not really a good judge of this sort of music, I think your version sounds better - more full and heavy -though that may be partly down to whatever YouTube do to their audio.

Sorry, probably not what you want to hear, but spending money you don't have on stuff you don't need is a mug's game, imho.

"Free Wynton Marsalis"? Hmmm, that sounds like a good idea for a song....

[quote name='arsenic' post='914332' date='Aug 3 2010, 09:46 PM']I first met them in 2003, and the other half a few years before. Currently up to 12 studio albums and a best of. Hunt down a copy of the Vampyre Erotica and Beltaine albums - or better still get along to see them live, Candia has a great voice live - great band and great people.[/quote] Cheers, I'll try to do that.

[quote name='arsenic' post='912119' date='Aug 1 2010, 06:48 PM']By some friends of ours..... [/quote] Like it. I probably should know more of this stuff, as the band I play with describe themselves as Pagan, and we have lots of songs on similar themes to Inkubus Sukkubus.

[quote name='gjones' post='907759' date='Jul 28 2010, 12:10 AM']He's the dogs wotsits![/quote] Careful now...

When there's a thread in praise of a player or genre that I don't like or in which I am not interested, I generally don't bother posting to disagree with the general sentiment. There's no real point, as it's all just a matter of taste and opinion, and I've seen too many threads descend into pointless name-calling and bad feeling just because people like different things. However, when people start to take the absence of any dissent as a sign that the player or genre in question is unversally held in high esteem, it is perhaps worth reminding people that other points of view exist. I do understand that many people here find it surprising that a bassist could fail to rave over JJ's playing, but then again I was genuinely surprised, when I first came to this site some years ago, to find that Motown was taken even slightly seriously by people calling themselves musicians. I think that just shows how we can all get used to talking to people we agree with, and quietly forget that there are a lot of other people out there that think differently. I can't honestly say that I [b]don't[/b] rate JJ as a player, it's more that I've never really listened to him because I have no time at all for the kind of music he played. I don't think that makes me 'daft', just someone with a different opinion and different tastes. I think it just goes to show what a diverse bunch we are, with very diverse tastes, which is somehing we should probably celebrate rather than fight over. Just my 2p. OK, back to the JJ lurve-fest.

There is simply no such thing as a bassline that everyone 'should' know.

[quote name='Pete Academy' post='904665' date='Jul 25 2010, 12:20 PM']I just feel lucky to be able to play good music to people that appreciate it.[/quote] I just feel lucky to be able to play bad music to people that don't throw stuff. ps <only joking if my band read this>

[quote name='EssentialTension' post='903075' date='Jul 23 2010, 12:24 PM']Nonetheless, no doubt, someone is thinking 'Motown? Jamerson? It's s**t'.[/quote] [quote name='purpleblob' post='903086' date='Jul 23 2010, 12:31 PM']No doubt [/quote] +1

[quote name='dougal' post='901697' date='Jul 22 2010, 10:22 AM']Give a guitarist, any guitarist, a bass guitar, and he can play Mustang Sally in five minutes. Give a guitarist a proper bass and... it wouldn't be pretty. It's a guitar.[/quote] [quote name='EssentialTension' post='901729' date='Jul 22 2010, 11:05 AM']In construction, the double bass is the bass instrument of the violin family - violin, viola, violincello, and bass viol. In construction, the bass guitar is the bass instrument of the guitar family - tenor guitar, guitar, baritone guitar, bass guitar. However, it doesn't really matter.[/quote] These.

That's really beautiful. Good job. How did you get into playing the viola da gamba? Do you use it a lot for modern music like this, or mainly for baroque and earlier?
