[quote name='AndyTravis' post='1045808' date='Dec 2 2010, 11:14 PM']has anyone got a version of 'Christmas Wrapping'? Edit - Too lazy to go looking, or to figure it out.[/quote] It was transcribed in a Christmas issue of Bass Player a couple of years ago if that's any help

[quote name='Neko' post='1045447' date='Dec 2 2010, 06:35 PM']I KNEW there was a reason I came back XD Trying to work out 'all I want for Christmas' and 'Santa Baby' at the moment. Also, 'not tonight santa', because innuendo-filled songs are endless fun I could google it, but where's the fun in that? If I get it done and it sounds decent I'll post the tab. This may not happen until 2019.[/quote] If it's innuendo you're after, check out Clarence Carter's "Back Door Santa"

[quote name='Mr. Foxen' post='1040563' date='Nov 28 2010, 10:50 PM']The BDDI has a DI out and the VT doesn't. The VT does much more drivey options also. I use the VT, but I have a paradriver on the way (sat at the PO depot actually).[/quote] Unless you get the VT Deluxe that is. I'm currently a happy BDDI user (no trouble with scooped mids btw, ymmv), but have the VT Deluxe on my shopping list.

[quote name='xgsjx' post='1035823' date='Nov 25 2010, 12:32 AM']Nope, I like Stevie Wonder. The bassline itself is ok (just), but the song is lame. Very lame. Having another listen (again), they'd be better covering the theme tune for Smokey & the Bandit! [/quote] They probably have!

[quote name='xgsjx' post='1035020' date='Nov 24 2010, 12:58 PM']Sorry, but I think it sounds like 70s cheese. The bass sound is ok, but the song using that sound is pants.[/quote] I'm sure Mr Wonder will be terribly distraught to hear that

Mine too! I thought I was the only Phish fan in the country I tried to get tickets for the Halloween run, failed of course. Thanks for the link - I've seen it before, possibly linked from here, but good to see again. Bookmarked.

Phish's version of Stevie Wonder's "Boogie On Reggae Woman" from their recent Halloween show.

Aria's are great. I still use my purple-sparkly MAB-40 that I got nearly 20 years ago. There's a fretless version on eBay... [url="http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Aria-Pro-4-string-fretless-Electric-bass-guitar-/110611710625"]http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Aria-Pro-4-string-fr...r-/110611710625[/url] 99p!

I live fairly locally - if you want to save the £30 I'll quite happily go and get it for you and bring it over.

It's not mine but thought some might be interested: [url="http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Akai-Professional-SB1-Deep-Impact-Synth-Bass-Processor-/280587214965#ht_952wt_1138"]http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Akai-Professional-SB...5#ht_952wt_1138[/url] After hovering below £200 all weekend it's just jumped to near the £400 mark... BC "The Price Is Right" sweepstake! How high will the final price be? Closest guess without going over wins a prize.

Captain Beyond's "Dancing Madly Backwards (On A Sea Of Air)" Sounds hard. Is, briefly, then isn't.

Have a look at www.songsterr.com for tabs as well.

[quote name='molan' post='1015259' date='Nov 7 2010, 01:51 PM']So what did people think? I thought the Boosh were mildly amusing for about 5 minutes and then I could happily have lived without them! ZPZ was a lot more 'structured' than when I've seen them before - obviously helped by playing all of Apostrophe I quite enjoyed it & Dweezil is a fine guitarist but I seeing big Frank up on the video screen just made me wish it was him in person. I saw him live a couple of times and he brought so much presence to the stage that Dweezil doesn't really have. Enjoyed seeing Scott Thunes, looks totally different but moves exactly the same & still throws some cool shapes, lol. Surprisingly high 'twat' ratio in the audience near me. A fight nearly broke out at one point, lot of people really pissed wandering around & one git who was insistent on shouting out lines from the Apostrophe album just before they were actually sung live to show off how well he knew the album. Eventually someone gave him a good talking to to shut him up [/quote] An extremely enjoyable evening! It seemed like everyone I'd ever been to a gig with was there - and it was the busiest I'd ever seen the Roundhouse (agree re twat-ratio too, sadly). On-screen Frank worked surprisingly well, and it was cool having him "there" at gig volumes. Has anyone got a full setlist? The Thunes/Moon Unit-assisted Valley Girl encore was just brilliant. I'd seen Moon and daughter Mathilda wandering around the venue earlier, but of course didn't twig who they were until they were on-stage. (Valley Girl clip: [url="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-48qRb5wefI)"]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-48qRb5wefI)[/url] Boosh: not as good as I'd hoped. I went along with an open mind, not really having seen them before. (Actually I've seen Julian Barratt more in the audience at the Jazz Caff or the ex-Spitz than I have on telly with TMB).

[quote name='Cantdosleepy' post='17641' date='Jun 14 2007, 02:31 PM']Thanks guys. Turns out there you can buy etymotic-type ones on Denmark Street. Hurrah![/quote] Which shop did you find them in? I've got some that are getting on a bit, and are a bit ahem brown.

One of the guys I'm going with has a spare ticket - PM if interested. FV is £32, he's just looking to cover costs.

I'm going - PM sent!

Direct link to cineworld if it's needed: [url="http://www.cineworld.co.uk/cinemas/32?film=3537&fallback=false&isMobileAgent=false"]http://www.cineworld.co.uk/cinemas/32?film...bileAgent=false[/url] I'd be there BUT I'm booked in to see Tony Levin and Steve Gadd round the corner at Ronnie Scott's - so I could see the film but miss the Q&A. And I'm having my diamond slippers adjusted that evening too.

Another +1 for Maiden - but aim for a steady stream of 8th (or 16th) notes rather than the Maiden "gallop". This means you'll have a different finger on the "one" each time, but it'll feel ok after a bit of practice. Start at a comfortable BPM and work up to your target by 5 BPM every day. Don't try to do too much too soon and strain something!

The singer's resigned as well now! He can't afford the time from the other bands/gigs he's committed to in the search for a new drummer. In the meantime, guitarist and I will be moping in a pub somewhere in Putney tonight. What tales of band woe have you got to make me feel better?

Hello I've just had the drummer of a band resign on the day of a rehearsal - and as I'm sure you know we're liable for 100% of the cost of the studio if we pull out at short notice. It's in Studio 3 at RMS in Putney, 6-11pm, see [url="http://www.rmsstudios.co.uk/studio.html"]http://www.rmsstudios.co.uk/studio.html[/url] - £45 without drums, £50 with. So, if anyone wants it please drop me a line at [email protected] as soon as poss. Musicians, eh. Tony

Good work! Good luck for the final. I lived in Horsham in the early 1990s and my first ever band was in the Battle of the Bands three years running. We came 2nd, 3rd and erm unplaced respectively. Does it still take place in the bandstand outside Waitrose? It were all fields, etc.

[quote name='Earbrass' post='993233' date='Oct 19 2010, 10:06 AM']I've always felt the same. Not entirely sure why now [/quote] Relayer's my favourite Yes album - and Going For The One counts as classic Yes as well. 90125 is a brilliant album, but it's not prog any more. After that it gets a bit patchy until Magnification.

Here's Im at the Grammy Les Paul tribute [url="http://video.mail.ru/mail/e.paskalova/12860/19874.html"]http://video.mail.ru/mail/e.paskalova/12860/19874.html[/url] ...with Jeff Beck, Narada and Rhonda in the band. Who's the rhythm guitarist?
