  1. Bought a GK amp head which was as described. Andy was straightforward to deal with, and comms were good. Many thanks!
  2. Euphonic Audio CXL112E - 350W, 8 ohm 1x12 bass cabinet. This one has a damaged driver and blown tweeter - both repairable I’m told (I was quoted around £100). The cabinet itself is in pretty good condition for its age, though shows some signs of use. I was gigging with it until August when the driver went. Offered here for free in the hope that someone might make some use of it, rather than tip it. Collection from OL15.
  3. I bought Mike’s Mark Bass 4x10 cab which was exactly as described and at a good price. Communication was excellent, and Mike was very hospitable when I went to collect. Many thanks!
  4. Interesting that Bach omits the fifth in the final...um...noise in all of the three-part inventions (sinfonias)!
  5. No. Your MIDI to USB cable is talking MIDI with your computer, so your computer becomes a sound module in effect. Cables sold as MIDI to jack, are for 'vintage' audio equipment that use a 5 pin connector - it's not actually a MIDI connector.
  6. [quote name='The Jaywalker' timestamp='1452303479' post='2948802'] It's important to remember that the designation "Dominant" in reference to the 5th degree of the key only applies to the major key. It's strictly not transferable to other modes... When talking about harmony, the term dominant chord is used to describe any dominant 7th chord; regardless of position or function. iys easy to get hung up on chord V as being THE dominant because classical theory names the 5th degree of a major scale as "dominant" - but it's just known as chord V. [/quote] Can you cite any sources for this? I've never encountered this interpretation. Dominant always relates to the fifth degree. I understand that the term 'Dominant Seventh' has been borrowed to describe a chord of that type (and causes much confusion in the process), but is that now contracted to 'dominant' to mean the same thing?
  7. [quote name='dustandbarley' timestamp='1429687301' post='2753850'] Thanks again people, I didn't anticipate this would be so confusing... [/quote] It's confusing because they've adopted a rule outside of usual practice. [quote name='chardbass' timestamp='1429692446' post='2753906'] I'd want (and put, if I was arranging) a # on either the first tied quaver or the first red circle. They may be a "correct" way of writing things but when you're writing for musicians who will be either sight reading in a quick band call or even on the gig, you need to remove all question of doubt immediately. [/quote] I think the 'correct' way is as you describe!
  8. [quote name='dustandbarley' timestamp='1429533925' post='2752302'] Sorry for the confusion, and I learned that the red circled notes should be sharps because of the tied accidental from the previous bar, which I would have played as naturals... Happy Days [/quote] I don't think that's right. Notes revert to the key as you originally said - another accidental would be required. Oddly enough, I was revisiting a piece yesterday that has exactly the same thing. I've played this piece to two teachers in the past, either of which would certainly have pulled me up about it. Recordings of the piece also do the same thing (play naturals after a tied sharp).
  9. [quote name='jezzaboy' timestamp='1398632948' post='2436098'] I for one would like to see them return. Britain needs some rock stars to give it large, as they say. Example: Radiohead make an album and offer it for sale for what you think it`s worth. Noel says, I`m giving f**k all away for free. Do you have any idea how much Abbey road studio cost to hire for a day? Arrogant, loud mouthed and rip off merchants but honest with it. [/quote] Yes, Thatcher would've been so proud.
  10. The bass doesn't sometimes play the Eb - it's deliberate. The progression in the chorus is different than the verse. There's nothing complex at all about this song! It's quite basic songwriting. Don't get me wrong, I like what they've done with it, but it's not that unusual.
  11. The guitar is not the only instrument. You're defining the chords by what the guitar is playing which is where you come undone! You really don't need the sheet music - listen to the track, play the chords - you'll hear it. Besides, sheet music isn't definitive. It's great that you've learnt things about fourths and the Lydian, but they have nothing to do with your question!
  12. Yes, the tabs are an approximation of what the guitar is playing, but that is not the whole picture. The guitar part is the same in both verse and chorus but the chords are not. The reason that the bass is playing Eb and it works is that the chord is Eb!
  13. Sorry, I think you're misunderstanding. The chorus chords (put simply) are: cm, Eb, Ab, Bb (gm). The verse chords are: cm, Bb, Ab, Bb. The bass doesn't play a fourth above the root - it plays the root. The chord labels in your example are wrong, which is where the confusion lies.
  14. Having listened to the track, the simple answer is that the chords are labelled wrong. The chord progression in the chorus is different to the verse (the intro has both progressions played consecutively). It appears that you are determining the chords from what the guitar plays which is putting the cart before the horse. Where the bass plays the Eb, the chord is an Eb.
  15. A pleasure to deal with. Everything as described, and a brew into the bargain! Many thanks.
