Song 2 by Blur. (dare i say it.....yes i dare) Smoke on the water, Loads of Van Halen. Night boat to Cairo by Madness

Could i have it after Geek99 please!

Arrgh! I hope i get enough time. I can get about an hour a night for about 3-4 days a week to work on it. The second half is written but i've only got the drums and bass down. Desperately trying to get guitar and organ down by the end of the week. So i can write and record the first half. Still just have a rough idea for it.

(Sorry about the vocal ) Hope you like it lol [/quote] i really like it. I love soundscape/talking tracks.

Maybe, a guitarist as asked me to set up a band with him today. We pla\y many styles. I'll see what he wants to do and get in touch if neccesary!

[quote name='BassTractor' timestamp='1352033467' post='1857942'] Same here, and I don't know either. Long periods with loads of Zappa inbetween longer periods with nothing (except the incidental iPod random track) Who knows, it may be in the human genome already. Or maybe it has to do with the loads of uninteresting tracks. Idunno. best, bert [/quote] It's an enigma wrapped up in a mystery

I've dipped in and out of Zappa over the years, i don't why i've not listened more because i really like it. I had a number of Zappa when i was at uni and they all got nicked and i've never got back round to getting into it. I had a couple of his orchestral ones, i also had Boulez conducts zappa. Joes garage can't remember the rest. But i love Steve Vai and Terry Bozzio so i liked that stuff. I will watch this and start getting back into it This is good by zappa plays zappa [media]http://youtu.be/aDQE82ElyJg[/media] Oh yeah this is a great song too! http://youtu.be/K_WgCGOWae4

Here's one of me playing bass (as its a bass forum and i was singing, kind of, in the others) [attachment=122587:rawk!.jpg]

[quote name='KingMacca' timestamp='1351860129' post='1856256'] Hello folks - I've had an MBE 212 for a few months, only rehearsed with it a handful of times. I bought a new GK MB800 head to pair with it I was using the dire ashdown little giant(orange). Both GK items are fantastic. My entire rig including Yamaha bass is a one trip to the car carry and sounds great for my needs. However - rehearsing the other night my cab started smoking about 10 minutes in to using it and it literally filled the entire rehearsal room with acrid burning smoke. We stopped playing, I flicked everything off and cleared the smoke, then had a sniff around the cab, the backplate appears to have had some sort of fire! The cab worked fine when I tested it, but that was the end of rehearsal. Emailed Thomann and I've got to package it up, take it to the post office and they are sending it back to GK to get fixed. I am gutted. The cab sounds quite boomy at volume, even with the great EQ on the MB800 dialled out most of the mid/bottom. The cab is still very new but as I am so happy with it in every other regard I didn't want to add the padding as others have done in other threads. I think it was a wise decision not to mod it anyway, as it would have burned the building down had the padding material caught fire! I suspect that there is a poor quality component behind the jack plate that has let go which doesn't inspire me as I've spent almost £1k on Gallien Krueger kit in the past few months :S The cab is the 8ohm version rated at 600w and I was using my brand new GK MB800 head with it(one cab) for the first time in rehearsal. gutted. Anyone else had any problems with this cab? I was going to buy the GK 210 to stack with the 212 but Thomann no longer sell it, then this happened and I'm now not sure if I'm going to keep any of my GK kit, even though I love the tone, weight, price, power - everything about the GK kit. Chris [/quote] Blimey, that don't fill me with confidence. I got one the other day. Only used it once!

started on it today, i have the first half idea, the second half written and drums done but it's prob gonna take all month hope i can get it done before the deadline. Sorry if this is ignorant and in another part of the thread, but when is the deadline?

How terribly rude of me, congratulations to silddx and skol303

In the October thread i said i would enter this months. It ain't just cos of the chance to win a bass but i can imagine i fair few will enter this month now.

Our band goes thru bass players like spinal tap goes thru drummers. That is our second bass player Bobby the Slag!

[quote name='seashell' timestamp='1351771731' post='1855128'] Loving you outfit, your Lordship! [/quote] Thank you kindly dear lady!

Here's me [attachment=122480:LordSausage.jpg] [attachment=122482:lord3.jpg] [attachment=122481:lord2.jpg] [attachment=122483:lord4.jpg]

Here's my bands [url="https://soundcloud.com/asedya"]https://soundcloud.com/asedya[/url] Here's mine [url="https://soundcloud.com/dreaded-ted"]https://soundcloud.com/dreaded-ted[/url]

I'm approaching my 20th anniversary of playing. When i was younger and learning i remember someone saying it's good to go back to basics every so often. I've never done it. So two weeks ago i started doing. I've started practising again for the first time since i was 21. Doing an hour a day, started right at the beginning, scales, technique exercises. Loving it and actual feel it is helping my overall playing.

[quote name='Dr Chocolate' timestamp='1347379885' post='1800003'] No not really it's rubbish and it smells. Although you can always get decent fish and chips [/quote] You can same the same of Paris only you can't get decent Fish and Chips there!

[quote name='Bilbo' timestamp='1351607728' post='1853193'] It is called serial composition and, yes, it is likely to sound very avant garde! [url="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Serial_composition"]http://en.wikipedia....ial_composition[/url] [/quote] [quote name='hollywoodrox' timestamp='1351621566' post='1853385'] I'm typing on my iPod touch its faster for browsing than my g4 iBook at the moment. There was a composer who did very odd stuff was he called Schoenberg or something, some of it sounded like scary incidental music in films [/quote] Studied Serialism at uni as part of 20th century music(art not pop). Though very interesting and it's ultimately unsatisfying. Schoenberg was interested in cotiuing the canon of germanic composition Mozart,beethoven,Wagner, Mahler etc. He felt that tonal has reached its peak and it couldn't be taken any further so developed his 12 tone rows and serialism. He was a bit of a nob but a genius. he also wrote a giant book about music theory which is interesting and difficult. He also put himself in rivalry with Stravinsky who was actually taking Tonal music further mainly through changes to rhythmic ideas, time signatures and orchestration. Who'd a thought a German and Russioan could have been rivals in the early 20th century! Stockhausen is also a serialist composer, another nutter. He believes he's from another galaxy. He wrote a piece called Gruppen for three orchestra's playing in different time signatures and tempo's. http://youtu.be/mqvlrphkGAU

The file i made was an mp3 don't know what happened there. Is there anything i can do to change the file.

Don't know if anyone will be interested in this. Basically a friend who has restarted playing keyboard after a number of years asked me to make him a jam track so he could practise improvising in F-minor and D minor over it. It's essentially a really basic version Canteloupe island with the second chord being changed from a Db7 to Dbmaj7 to keep it diatonic, at his request. I made it and just thought i'd put it on here in case anyone fancied it. The chord sequence is 4 bars Fmin7, 4bars Dbmaj7, (f minor), 4 bars Dmin7, 4 bars Fmin7. then just looped a lot. It's really basic but it may be good for someone to use, knock yourself out. Cheers

[quote name='silddx' timestamp='1351360209' post='1850549'] Although that could be non members listening but unable to vote, and possibly a fair number of robots, I have resigned myself to the sad fact that most people on Basschat would rather talk about stuff than actually listen to new music, it takes effort and the rewards are often too small for people to be bothered. I really shouldn't be complaining because the Kit Richardson work has gone down incredibly well and we've sold over 40 EPs through Basschat (THANK YOU!), but I'm in the minority here I think. [/quote] Well it don't take much effort in the grand scheme of things. Plus you shouldn't need rewarding to hear new music. It's good to hear the things people come up with plus you get to experience people on a different level. I recognised some of the entrants from different threads and wouldn't neccessarily expect them to produce the music they have produced. If you know what i mean?

As if this has had 500 and odd views and only 23 votes. Come on sort it out!

Gertcha!

[quote name='silddx' timestamp='1351341296' post='1850297'] They're alright man! I didn't really notice any mistakes, just the odd timing error coming in with the drummer. The first one's the best of the two. Good song and well performed. [/quote] Yeah he'd always get carried away and that would happen. But it's better than no drummer. Struggling to find one!
