Just traded my fretless SS 1 with James No fuss hassle stress or messing Great.

Just bought a FMT Jazz from James, fastest easiest deal ive ever done,very fast delivery to Ireland, no messing, good communication. So good were about to do another trade Highly recommended

Many many thanks Major so generous of you to give up your free time and take on with this for us (me). And so fast coming back with the analysis and alternatives. Lots of work here for me will get stuck in straight away wish i could repay you (few pints if your in my area and a royalty every time i use your line ) The combination of all this will really help me improvise my own line on the song. Im off to moondance Thanks again Frank

just had a closer look at the E11 leave out the open E and its Bm

Thanks Major ill look forward to the boot camp looks like ill be be the only one though had a dig around on the net for the chords didnt find the guitar version i had used but heres a piano version with the same chords[attachment=76775:Moondanc...sic_Plus.pdf]

dont get carried away lads this is just for fun i can put my own line to this but it ends up being fairly similar to the original also ive allready said i know the chords i included are wrong No offence taken or meant Any takers

Following on from a recent post were moondance has come up as a bad walking line, and over time it has come up again and again. Can someone or maybe several of you wiser people take on with this Mighty challenge. Im not taking pot shots or criticiseing the song the original bass player or anyones opinion or taste in any style of music this is purely for my own education. Back in 1999 i liked this bass line so much i not only learned it i wrote it out ( in tab as i only reciently started reading music ) if im able to attach it this it may save you having to listen to it too much just stick in the correct rhythms. Obviously i know at this stage the chords are wrong (got them form a guitar book) and therefore the note functions i wrote underneath also, but this was 12 years ago. This song was one of my stepping stones into walking bass. I went on to play it to death with a band with a kinda semi rock feel sometimes twice a night, so i cant bear the song at this stage either. But i think it could be fun, a challenge, interesting and beneficial to me and maybe lots of others if some of you could take on with this. 1. Analyse the line, show the bad note choices and which notes flow better (the original is very clunky so this may not be of much benefit so on to number 2) 2. Remake the line as a proper walking jazz bass line. You could base it purely on the chords or the original song would be best. ill try to include my 1999 version [attachment=76595:Moondance_page1.jpg] [attachment=76596:Moondance_page2.jpg] [attachment=76597:Moondance_page3.jpg] Let the torture begin

i also didnt know, got talking to for a while after a muffin men gig a few years ago really sound fella great crack

At the moment i can only think of two players (who are still alive) that deserve to have their own signature model this being their go to bass that they play 90-95% of the time and thats Steve Harris and Marcus Miller maybe Geddy Lee as well, there are probably others but not many id say

best of luck with the new bass aonindy how long before you get hold of it that trade in deal is the best ive ever heard of

Yeah i just didnt buy it after having a quick look. But on the other hand next month is Gary Willis and Last month was Scott Thoones,so its not so bad

just had a look and hes got a lot of vids on there, so look for the Seinfeld or Billy Jean cover

sorry lads double bass with a bow isnt for me kinda sounds like someone set a bag of cats on fire (i swear it wasnt me) no offence Mr Wolf i know you have great musicianship technique and so on and can easily play other material maybe even some funk. Theres nothing as good as a funky double bass. Anyway check this guy out on youtube adambenezra (dont know how to link it) its not strictly funk but its fun and hes a great musician also, thats what id like to hear at a doublebass party.

any chance id see a EUB there or will it be a totally classical affair anyway it could be interesting

my OC-2 is the oldest piece of gear i have and ive done more gigs with it than any other piece of gear so i still love it
