Yeah Conan stfu

What do we think of this then, its a bit more than the Thomann one I like but from Yitamusic?

Bizarre

[quote name='27 frets' timestamp='1357057243' post='1916887'] +1 on the French Carbon Fibre bow from YitaMusic, they also do a German model, and similar bows of a slightly lower spec. [/quote] I will have another look at those then if there is lower spec version, I really have gas for a nice bow now, terrible isnt it?

[quote name='Bass Lady' timestamp='1357055697' post='1916855'] Jumping straight in at the deep end (only joined forum today) I would say it doesn't really matter whether it is French or German bow, they both do the job but it does depend on which EUB you have. Some really are not suited to being played arco at all, great for that jazz pizz style but almost impossible to get a good sound with the bow. Which EUB do you have? [/quote] I went for the Stagg as it is one that can be played arco, I have done all the mods now too except the string swap then it will be awesome

[quote name='Conan' timestamp='1357057003' post='1916882'] Oh right! Yes, I can see how I misread that... [/quote] I got me the first time too

Come on then Inti what should we be listening to and striving for, this is your moment to enlighten us

I think he meant 4x10" 6x10" 8x10" speakers not 4 or 6 inch drivers I still dont like 'em laughable or not

Panic over that is what I play I'm sure I have a version where the run is even busier for the last run? but if its good enough for Jake I am more than happy! as ever thanks Jake Bloomin' ledger lines, that really is the dusty end D#

Thats the bit I have never really got around too I think it was off your site that I printed it from (thanks), I learnt the easier run from the first couple of times and left it at that I shall return..........

[quote name='Inti' timestamp='1357052671' post='1916802'] Are you shure about this or does envy and lack of humbleness come from the other side? I certainly have issues with this but it has to do with a strong sence of justice so stop talking about papers cause nobody cares except those who lack diplomas. The main point is that putting Anthony Jackson and John entwinstle in the same bag simply isn't fair. But this society makes you believe it is... For money's sake. [/quote] In fairness you know nothing about me or my skill level, trust me I am not envious of you, I dont even know who you are

[quote name='JTUK' timestamp='1357041319' post='1916587'] laughable post.... can't begin to...well, I can't stop laughing.... [/quote] Whats laughable? I dont like 10's either, I used to be all about 15's but I have come to a happy medium of 12's (like a lot of folk), I bet the 12's of today are better than the 15's of 25 years ago anyway? You get a bit of that trouser flap that a 15 or more gives but with that snappier attack when required that 10's give. Now I know Mr F and Alex etc will be along to tell us thats all nonsense and they have some drawing to prove it but as bass players we all hear what we hear and for me and many others the bigger the speaker the bigger the bottom end! 8x10's for me sound like 8 10's never like one big speaker as suggested elsewhere

[quote name='Inti' timestamp='1357049831' post='1916733'] I doubt he was better than you technically if the others prefer you. The only way to know would have been to make the both of you play the same line. Plus that technique without a brain is pretty useless anyway... [/quote] Why? , I have been in similar situations where the rest of the band preffered my simpler style over people who were both more technical and up on their theory etc.

[quote name='Inti' timestamp='1357049613' post='1916729'] There's absolutely no problem in wanting to be an entertainer. The irritating moment begins when the clown not only fools himself but tries to convince others of his artistic integrity. [/quote] You appear to have a personal issue with this looking at this thread and your other, as if you have some bits of paper with grades on and everyone else is an imposter or something, I am sure there is more to this?

[quote name='Inti' timestamp='1357048711' post='1916709'] Nobody and that's partly the problem. Hence gangnam style is the most played tune on the radio right now. [/quote] I'm not keen on crap like that but I have found the off switch I dont see him demanding we like gangnam style anyway?

But if someone is creating something new who decides if its right or not?

[quote name='Inti' timestamp='1357043824' post='1916622'] The questioning is not technique related although a proper technique will always be needed to the style you intend to play. Even punk or nirvana. Maybe the real question is: is it possible to be regarded as better than somebody else in music? Is everything subjective? And if not what would be a correct way to measure someones level? The amount of control of the instrument is the only parameter that comes to mind....all the others are a matter of taste. It's a hard question. [/quote] Who decides who has the correct amount of control of the instrument? I am a novice upright player and already hit two correct ways to play it according to the experts, neither are how the rockabilly guys play so thats three methods to argue about to start with, close your eyes and see if you enjoy the music, if not turn it off, if you do seek out some more from the same artist that system has worked for 100's of years

This was one song where even my novice reading skills helped! It is one of those songs where there are numerous versions with some being more 'jazzy' than others at the end, I have condensed my live version to playing the same run for the turnaround everytime as the full written version blows me away I build the chorus up a bit more each time though and I have seen people get away with a simpler version than mine and people make a much better fist of it than me! I struggle with the riff coming back down more than going up too

I like this.... [url="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f9-PbqoBA2k"]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f9-PbqoBA2k[/url] and I like this.... [url="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PvwqSMRtoSI"]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PvwqSMRtoSI[/url] Is one better than the other because one is more technical than the other?

[quote name='Conan' timestamp='1357037958' post='1916510'] Well, I've just finished reading this [i]entire[/i] thread, and one thing has become clear to me. There ain't half some twats on this forum! [/quote] stfu

[quote name='Mog' timestamp='1357026223' post='1916439'] Hydrive 112 should do the job in most small to medium sized situations. [/quote] I love my Genx 1x12T cab and it will do most gigs but if the OP is looking to shed a 2x10 and a 1x15 without feeling like he has lost out a single 1x12 wont cut the mustard IMO? 2 of them maybe but thats not a one cab solution is it
