'Be my girl' by Jet (I think), 'Live Wire' by AC/DC if you want something bit less obvious, RHCPs 'Higher ground', 'Come together' By the Beatles, 'Hysteria' by Muse, 'Eton Rifles' by the aforementioned Jam Just a minute, I'll have a proper think...

[quote name='Nibody' timestamp='1341338528' post='1717368'] When I see something like this on ebay I always wonder WHY they dont put it in a specialist Auction if it's genuine. [/quote] Ditto.

I was going to post more videos, but I'm not allowed to.

Dunno about the zoom lolly; I always preferred a Fab or the humble Minimilk.

Apparently you're better off stacking the cones rather than placing them side by side. Supposed to give better somethingorother.

[quote name='KingBollock' timestamp='1341342376' post='1717451'] Actually, we need for it to cover where on the bright to mellow range each set comes, as well as their life span. I tried to do that to but realised they conflicted and I suddenly couldn't get my head around it, but I'm sure someone cleverer could come up with something more suitable.

Does John Hall know about that headstock?

Welcome to the forum, good to have you on this side of the pond.

I had a Zoom 3000B for a few years a while back and that was considered 'quite posh' by a guitarist friend of mine. I've also had Zoom ice lollies that were (to be frank) a bit disappointing.

Any new technique can take a while to learn, and waaaaaaaayyyyyy longer to master. To play slap proficiently (I'm still no master) I find that I have to relax. Don't push it, just keep practicing and one day you'll have a "wow, that sounded pretty darn good" moment, so have a really wide grin at the ready. Also, as a beginner I would heartily recommend taking it slow and concentrating on getting the notes clean (2nd most important thing in slap playing) and IN TIME (single most important thing when playing slap bass) - so I'd go for a metronome every time. Slap bass technique can sometimes get a bit of a flaming on here, but if you're excited by the technique, and you really like the sound then go for it - don't feel that you shouldn't learn to slap, or that you are less of a 'musician' for slapping, because some internet people that you've never met tell you it's wrong.

He blew a kiss at the end of the session!?! I feel wrong.

lol, yeah. I'll know more about how good it sounds and whether it's worth keeping by the end of the week...

I'm working on just the thing at the minute - found a schematic online for a 6 band EQ that will run from 6 to 12volts. I've made one or two 'adjustments' to the diagram and am looking at a two band stacked EQ that runs off a 9v battery that's tailored for a fretless Jazz bass. Dunno what to call it though, maybe a 'mwah-tron' or something equally droll.

What IS it? It's an abomination unto the Lord. :0

I prefer to stand on the floor Tom side of the drummer, simply because I don't have to stand next to a stupidly loud snare drum all night. I suffer a bit whe they move to the ride but that's a lot less noisy than being next to the snare. Also the guitarist keeps better time when stood next to the snare, must be a volume thing.

I'd give it a punt. It [i]is[/i] a Jazz bass after all...

I'm absolutely in love with playing fretless, so much so that my fretted is up for sale. It just takes practice - like everything else really.

She may or may not have played on all of those records, but that's not important. If you can find her "Modern Electric Bass" tutor books then I guarantee you will learn loads, I know I did (and still do).
