"cheesey party tunes" has kept food on my table for the last 30 years. next week al be having pudding also I Wish i could say the same for the music i love which i also play. One pays for the other, i have to play stuff some of it i would not even listen too to fund my love of the other. yin yang. Perfect.

"Then "well the booking wasn't made through me... I don't really know much about it..."" How can you not know much about it, 1, you watched us carry gear in..... 2, you could of come over at any time and asked 3, you watched us set up....................... 4, you could of come over at any time and asked 5, you watched us sound check............. 6, you could of come over at any time and asked 7, you watched us play a first set.......... 8, you watched us come off .................... 9, you could of come over at any time and asked 10, you watched us play a second set,........ 11, you watched us come off....................... 12, you could of come over at any time and asked 13, you watched us pack away..................... 14, you could of come over at any time and asked Whats there not to know ?............................ do you normally just let people walk into your pub and do that ? a band has just played, in all that time you did not think once to check ?, at least the book ? Cash or Trash ? joking aside at least you stuck to it and got paid, a happy ending to the story. Just a quick thought, if taking a booking when its writen in their book make sure you tell them to also write the agreed fee in too, job done.

thats amazin, if it was fretless i would of sold something to get it i am not sure if it has the slot pole pieces, cant see it that clear looks like one of the last of the fender head stock ones? maybe, as it has G&L logo tuners and not stamped "Schaller"

iv just sold my 350 smx that iv had for years, power out of it was amazing for rated 350, i kept it for years " just in case" but compared to the swr super red heads tone, and my swr sm500, it sounds slow floppy and thuddy,,, loads of thud and heavy weight to the sound, it was perfect for soul type stuff. I think back in the day the chioce of bass amps was same old same old, good but not moving on quick enough and the new TE stuff was that breakthrough into a new breed the smx 350 for me was that, loved the way i could dial in as much valve pre i wanted, just a knob on the front that was valve one way or tranny the other or a mix, it also had hi and low comp again usefull, looked great, nice lit up, but then stayed like that for years too long, i think the style just dated ? But ... the swr sound had that more modern sound to it not as much weight to the sound but brighter and sharper, i dont need the huge sound anymore as i Di into the desk, so the swr was perfect for me. Still have a place in my heart for the 350 tho.

£770,000 ? he must have been on the fiddle, and she must have been highly strung,

BoB, take the leap "go public" and join a band, what you hear in the bed room is not what you are going to hear with 4 or 5 other guys. all you have learnt and your tone and feel will all come together after a time playing with others. if you joining a band is too much of a leap then put an ad on something like JMB to get others local to play with it will pay you back 10 fold But enjoy whatever you do keep us posted how you get on, im sure you will be buzzing for days

my funky band.. some good pics were taken last week, the guy who took them had a fiddle about with them. sorry about the gogs, uglyness is abundant without them [attachment=249782:fonix 1.small band.jpg] [attachment=249783:me mmm.jpg] [attachment=249785:me small.jpg] [attachment=249786:KBG03565.jpg]

A great read. [url="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Theme_from_Shaft"]https://en.wikipedia...heme_from_Shaft[/url] the bass player was James Alexander who was bass player in the bar kays, Interesting also to see willie hall played drums on that track ( also from the bar kays) and of course the blues brothers.

Hello all, when i was playing, in my car chase, Acidjazz, funk band back in the day, we did alot of tv theme tunes, new avengers 2001 starsky and hutch and so went on a mission to find more of these great tunes One that i really liked was Barney miller. So i thought what a great topic, the more you get into this subject you realise how massive it really is Alot of the Orchestras and bands also did great scores for the porn industry, (dont tell me you have not heard some of these, and not thought... wow that music as tacky as f&%$ but yea..its funky) for eg the chap that composed the panorama theme tune also did the the music for the softcore porn film Emmanuelle 2. some info here... [url="https://www.bbc.co.uk/music/articles/36b860f1-b3d5-4fcc-acdc-c2e95fb99176"]https://www.bbc.co.u...dc-c2e95fb99176[/url] In amongst them fantastic bands and orchestras like The Laurie johnson Orchestra there has been alot of great bass players that have gone unnoticed and some unnamed so lets have them themes and if you can please also information on the bass players involved. My first submission is Barney Miller and one of my fave's the very talented Chuck Berghofer, great feel in this song. i think it has that jaco thing going on. try it, enjoy Info on Chuck [url="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chuck_Berghofer"]https://en.wikipedia...Chuck_Berghofer[/url] [url="http://www.notreble.com/buzz/2015/04/23/stories-behind-the-songs-chuck-berghofer/"]http://www.notreble....huck-berghofer/[/url] Chucks master class... well worth a visit.

[quote name='chris_b' timestamp='1498255330' post='3323534'] I'm not a "completest" by any means and there are a couple of stinkers in here that even I wouldn't buy, but I have nearly all the CD's and some of the vinyl by the Band, Little Feat, Keb Mo and Delbert McClinton. [/quote] Hi Chris, Yea have alot of keb mo too and for very good reason. I think Keb mo has done it very cleverly by capturing two or three types of audience, if you take a song like "it hurts me too" from the cd "the door" it has that back pulse that sounds bang up to date would not be out of place on some chart stuff, but all the time he has that steel slide guitar keeping your constant attention reminding you where the roots are from, he has cleverly done this to alot of songs, so the cd songs are also cleverly laid out with these modern sounding songs and peppering the cd with some very very well played delta. Great stuff.

jamiroquai, the last one tho was my last one, it sounds awful I got the same feeling when i purchased and listened to "click" by corduroy nothing like previous releases, not even remotely the same sort of music. On saying all that it must be hard for a band to Branch out into other areas some will like it and some wont. But in the case of "click" .... it did not feel like a gradual jump like their sound was progressing, it just hugely jumped into an area i could not associate with or make the connection.

Depends on the gig for me, in the soul band its one bass, Dont need to change my sound all night But if its the funk band then its two basses. 1 reason is, i use a Qtron pedal and for some reason i cant get the wah sound i want out of it with an active bass, even in passive mode ( with humbuckers) For some reason it loves single coil, a jazz sounds great through it, but it seems to be struggling with the input power of a humbucker ( in my case a G&L or the wal). i even put a input vol pot on the side of it which helped a bit, but still not as good as the jazz through it. So.. its 2 basses for me, so while they are there i may as well use them both for what ever fits best.
