i used to enjoy when i carried my stringray to school in its hardcase and people would shout "oi mate, are you the musicman?" no i am just a man who plays music on my stringray

its funny how a lot of people panic when they get into the upper register. Just remember its exactly the same notes and position as if it was at the top of the neck. Use the same patterns and licks you would normally use there, just an octave up. It works so easily for simple solo's. On a 12 bar i often either walk it (if its a walking line) and sometimes go beyond the 12th fret but use the same sort of ideas as i was before outlining the chords or if its a riff i will keep the riff going with a little lick at either the end of 2 or 4 bars.

check out charlie hunter. 3 bass strings and 4 guitar strings. Absolute madman! played guitar on D'angelo's voodoo

sorry peaty should have said iv now got this sorted :-D

obviously theres a market willing to pay that much so i guess thats why they charge it. Shame as students such as myself are priced out of enjoying a really fantastic band. I just don't see why £45 is required. There costs can't be anywhere near the equal to £45 per person times maximum capacity. Just sounds greedy to me.

i have never paid £45 for a meal, but i would rather see music played in a big arena with a massive production. I do realise that Tower of Power wouldnt fill say the O2 but you can get tickets for the most in demand artists for £45 with huge a production. Also i guess its partly the fact i'm not a fan of ronnie scotts where i guess some people love the fact they can sit down and watch music and have a ridiculously fancy dinner.

£45 though for ronnies!?

my favourite part is the clarity in tone. The high mids can cut through anything. Also it has an amazing warmth similar to that of the aguilar cabs. I have never tried epifani cabs though so i couldnt compare. Ps. The Hartke cabs are very light. I once carried one in each arm to a mates house and only had to put the down twice (btw im incredibly small and weak)

what about spain by chick corea? its not too difficult and you can really express some soloing ability over the samba section. Might need to re-record it though to make it a shorter arrangement and so the original solo's aren't there

i played red hot chili peppers desecration smile for my audition to ACM, nothing harmonically challenging but it just sounds nice when played right.

you see i spend a day away from basschat and this is what happens!!

what would be on your's? for me it would be "if you want blood" AC/DC and "Thriller" MJ

i have a copy of the book but no audio for it. Just wondered if anyone had them and could email me them/ put them on a CD and post (at my expense of course) cheers, Ollie

really inspiring video, do you find the membership worth the money chris b? looks like a good site with lots of ideas for healthy pondering.

http://www.mi-pro.co.uk/news/read/bass-gear-teams-up-with-jamiroquai-bassist/015892 same 3+2 headstock, would'nt put it past being a fodera NYC.... sounds amazing!

as said before depends on sound. If your going to keep it passive i preferred lindy fralin over wizard. Just sounded a bit more old school R&B to me, which for motown and stax ect is brilliant. Also the slap tone with some good steel strings is very freddie washington

i had no idea there were so many rockers on basschat! im not going to say who A is, i cant believe no-one's got it! I tried to choose 3 very contrasting images and i think i was almost there. Letter C is indeed Guy Pratt

[quote name='BigRedX' timestamp='1319115257' post='1410079'] None of them really... And I don't even know who the guy on the right is. [/quote] what is it about them you dont relate to bigred? [quote name='Low End Bee' timestamp='1319115460' post='1410087'] The bald one who plays with a plectrum. [/quote] can you guess who it is ad?

right guys heres the deal. In this picture there are 3 bass players. They are ordered A-C (left to right). So what you have to do is pick one that you think best represents you (as a person and a bass player) and two that dont. So for example. If it was a picture of a bird (A), a plane (B ), or a motorbike (C ), victor wooten would say he is a A and not B & C because he's a spiritual nut. Also give your reasons for your choice :-) [attachment=91584:research bass players.jpg]

hi guys, weve now got 2 of the 4 songs we recorded 2 weeks ago on our facebook page. [url="http://www.facebook.com/ninemilessouth"]www.facebook.com/ninemilessouth[/url] not going to lie its classic rock and is very guitar driven, so iv not got any bass fills or my usual licks in there. still feedback on the songwriting/recording quality would be great. Recordings were done with a mex p bass strung with la bella hard rockers, through a hartke lh500 and then we used the hartke DI and a hx112 which was miced with an AKG D112.

play that funky music (white boy) wild cherry's

tell you what stingray pete like my band nine miles south on facebook, the new recordings should be on there by monday and you can teach these "kids" at your work that classic rock can be revived :-)

that bass was on with no reserve a few days ago and was only at 600 with 5 days to go! shame he obviously realised it was worth a lot more when he saw the new kings road lot
