If only I wasn't a weekend warrior. <edit> Despite that flippant comment, this is the sort of band I aspire to be part of. Playing proper blues in a trio setting and it not being a re-enactment. One day

I'm really pleased with the tone I get on my p bass, it's a real woody sound and flatters my playing. When I switch to the Aria is cries out for a different style, one that escapes me currently. Do you feel influenced to play differently depending on your instrument?

Cool, mystery solved. Thanks!

Hmmm maybe, but I don't see a 5 string Jazz on their site.

Any idea? http://www.flickr.com/photos/beboh/6543100605/lightbox/

Apologies if this has been done before. Very rarely do I listen to a recording and think "I want to sound like that" from a tone/playing perspective. However when I do it's usually very compelling and I can't stop thinking about it. I heard this last year and play it every couple of days dreaming of having the chops and rig to recreate it (not just learn to play it like this, having the skill to do it naturally).

Worked from home which means I got at least two hours of practice in over the day. Then had a lesson tonight and have come home and worked on my home work. If only I could devote that amount of time each day.

Warms my heart.

I was torn between two but made my choice. Very interesting to lsiten to them all though. Might try my hand at a future comp.

[quote name='Fat Rich' timestamp='1348230172' post='1811142'] I liked the demonstration where they counted 1 and 3 only instead of 1,2,3,4 [/quote] That's why Jazz swings, the 2 and 4 pulse.

Just bought the kindle version too (because you made it easy for me).

Like it.

I voted P but in reality, either.

[quote name='geofio' timestamp='1348075195' post='1808965'] Cheers guys, i will be playing sitting down, and will play as long as i can, better than not playing at all, and the rickenbacker is a beauty, i feel normal again lol, i tried using a cheap bass, just was not the same. [/quote] FWIW When I saw Jack Bruce he sat down for a fair amount of the gig. Didn't detract at all.

I've got Labella flats on my P bass and it sounds ridiculous. I've been playing my Aria recently and have only had the Fender unplugged for brief moment. Plugged it in tonight and thump thump thump swing

I really like the way she shakes her hips in that breakdown near the end

Could quite easily have been an extra track from the Night fly.

Knock one out before you go.

[quote name='silddx' timestamp='1347951913' post='1806933'] I met Dave last year, he was in a band on the same bill as us. He's a very nice guy actually [/quote] It was supposed to be a light hearted "don't take yourself too seriously" jibe. Certainly no offence meant and nice people are quite often miserable or grumpy :-D

[quote name='Dave Holden' timestamp='1347918547' post='1806757'] Some people have an appreciation for the items on sale but there is no need to write things like "love this bass but totally out of funds right now." I see these posts every day and they are just pointless. [/quote] What a misery guts you are

[quote name='chris_b' timestamp='1346927264' post='1794848'] Rick Danko [/quote] I love The Band.

I love my Compulator.

They will end up no where.
