  1. Not an issue if you ensure the bass hangs at the same position when standing or sitting.
  2. Pressing down directly onto the fret. Compare the sound just behind the fret to on top of it. It's got a muted quality.
  3. Amongst the numerous discussions about methods of muting, be they manual or mechanical, I've never seen mention of fingering notes by pressing directly on the fret, which I find quite effective for a particular type of muted sound. Anyone do this?
  4. On the 20th anniversary of his death, I sneaked Jaco's melody from "A Remark You Made" into "Fight For Your Right To Party" at a pub gig in Swindon. Dozens of people noticed and came up to tell me afterwards. Part of this is a lie.
  5. His collection has grown by approx 40 since the book.
  6. Yes, a very well known documentary which has been discussed in detail on here before.
  7. How about something from Band of Gypsys? It covers the rock, funk and (of course) Hendrix. Plenty of scope to play around with it to please the hardcore element.
  8. Wow - the bass is pretty prominent on the VH records, particularly the first two.
  9. I only know of them due to the Steve Hillage connection. Will have another listen.
  10. He is appalling and actually sells a DVD lesson course. It's sad to think that anyone tries to "learn" from him.
  11. Does Scott actively create and perform music, or is all his time taken up with teaching?
  12. Did anyone notice this bass in the Sam Ash ad on the back of last month's (March 19) Bass Player? The fingerboard appears to be Maple under the B string and Ebony under the other four strings. I can't find a similar one online - perhaps it was just a photographic/printing error.
  13. Really? What did you think was wrong with it?
  14. Always remember the "n". It makes thigs easier.
  15. I thought Pulp's Common People was about someone just wanting a more normal life.
  16. It doesn't work though. If (Eben)eezer Goode is menat to mean "E's are good", then what is the meaning of the following line: "He's Ebeneezer Goode"? - E's eben E's are good?
