I'm sure there was some jazz guy doing it in the 30's!

I've played with a few drummers who's favourite time is either 3.9/4 or 4.1/4!

[quote name='lowdown' timestamp='1481378207' post='3191860'] Seeing as that Christmas period is approaching, I thought I would throw this up onto the stage. "Sleigh Ride " in 7/8 - It works well and to me, feels very natural. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-ZggJNsAuIw [/quote] That is very cool!

I got a degree from York University, Music and Music Tech. Biggest waste of time in my life. I learned nothing there. I'd done Btec and HND previously where I' d been taught by serious professional musicians and learned incredible amounts and had been in theatre pit bands from being 16. There were occasions at uni where I taught the lecturers stuff and York is a good uni. The difference being I was 'taught' by graduates at uni. It has done me no good, played no part in my life as a musician. I used to ditch uni for a couple of months at a time to go doing theatre show runs. They let me and I still got my degree.

[quote name='Twincam' timestamp='1480995565' post='3188820'] Had a bvp5500 its a very good and well made amp. However things to note its heavy and its only approx 350w rms at 4 ohm and approx half 8 ohm. The veyrons seem to get a lot of positive reviews and I believe they were tested to be in the region of 500 - 700watts rms I can't remember the exact figure. If I had to buy a new amp and was on a budget I would possible buy the veyron tube version. And I would definitely own a bvp5500 again although its needs 4 ohms to really get going or a very efficient cab or lots of drivers. Its not underpowered but its not the loudest amp. Probably the best amp that you can buy brand new for around £200. [/quote] Cheers, I think I've switched tack. I'm gonna sell my 5 string fretless and the back up amp and then get a hartke ha5500.

Fretted or fretless?

[quote name='SH73' timestamp='1480964931' post='3188508'] Was it before Christmas 2012 at London gig? [/quote] Nah it was on the Firegarden tour probably G3 in Manchester in the 90's. He's met me twice he's a lucky guy! The second time he took ages to come out after the gig. My mate who was a cheeky f***er said. "f***in 'ell Stevie, where ya been? George Micheal came out quicker than you did!" To be fair he laughed quite a lot!

[quote name='JTUK' timestamp='1480966943' post='3188527'] Don't be a stalker, It gets a bit boring, not to say pretty sad...but there you go..!! Besides, have you heard some of their bands... [/quote] Boring and sad! You've never been stalked by me then.....it's sexy and terrifying.......terrifying for me!

[quote name='SH73' timestamp='1480962514' post='3188476'] I met Steve Harris after the gig last Friday, but doubt it very much he is a basschatter. [/quote] Steve Vai once met me after a gig!

[quote name='JTUK' timestamp='1480961065' post='3188457'] Let me just say that not all of you can be me... [/quote] But some of us can be and I'm one of them!

[quote name='bassman7755' timestamp='1480957978' post='3188425'] I've never knowingly had a basschatter at one of my gigs, I live in hope though, would be cool is someone came up and said hello. [/quote] Yeah that's kind of what i think. I would talk about music tho. Not gear

I can't remember the last time a bass player came and spoke to me after I gig. I have done it a couple of times. I'm either terribly intimidating as a player or just terrible!

[quote name='TheGreek' timestamp='1480945109' post='3188239'] [size=5][b]I'm JTUK...[/b][/size] [/quote] No I'm JTUK

When you see a band in a pub or function, do you ever go and speak to the bass player afterwards? Do you ask them if they are on BC or not. I think I've met one.

Thinking about it I may as well get the hartke ha5500 in that price bracket.

[quote name='markstuk' timestamp='1480801788' post='3187275'] Huge war on talkbass about these :-) which one are you looking at - the tube preamp one (GB streamliner clone apparently) or the ss one ? [/quote] [quote name='karlfer' timestamp='1480846155' post='3187439'] I got one and sent it almost straight back. SS version, clipping came in quite early on all basses, but with the American Special, it was coming in stupid early. Which led me to use the pad. Which lost a LOT of volume as it's -15db. [/quote] I was thinking about the tube preamp one. Wasn't aware there was a solid state one

Does anybody own one of these? If so, are they any good? What are your thoughts? I'm contemplating getting one of these or maybe the BVP5500.

What about videos?

[quote name='MoonBassAlpha' timestamp='1480597202' post='3185700'] Lord Sausage and the Boy.......... [/quote] I've started coaching an under 8's football team too. I'm done for

[quote name='the boy' timestamp='1480557505' post='3185438'] Congrats lord Sausage. I'm happy for you to pick the photo if you like. [/quote] Congratulations to The Boy. I'd prefer you to pick the pic as I'm not 100% I can enter this month. Because I'm a total genius I promised the wife i' d have the front room stairs and landing redecorated and new carpets put down by Christmas......and I'm nowhere near. I'm gonna try and enter though. Also I think yours fitted the pic better than mine. So you pick please. Thanks a lot to everyone who voted and composed!

So what's the script? you can use drum tracks and FX?
