[quote name='deanovw' timestamp='1337495315' post='1660730'] I always seem to sound better when the other musicians are much better than me. [/quote] So did Miles Davis...

Can't believe I missed James Jamerson. Badness.

It's like a finger pointing at the moon - DON'T concentrate on the finger or you will miss AAAAAALLLLLLL the heavenly glory.... I suppose I'm pretty good, I've also got computer hacking skills and bow-hunting skills.

looks like he's moved the bridge so that the strings sat in between the pole pieces. Rookie mistake.

Matt Freeman fron "Rancid"? [media]http://youtu.be/RsgWs4sNHwM[/media] NSFW I'd definitely agree with Billy Sheehan being considered a 'virtuoso'. Like it or not, it's an impressive technique.

genuinely liked.

[quote name='Bilbo' timestamp='1337417448' post='1659515'] Who is the tenor player who play the last solo? I like his ideas. [/quote] Ditto, his horn needs a polish though.... I'll get my coat.

I played my brother's VM Jazz a few weeks ago and have been telling myself that I don't need another bass since - loved it.

I was once asked by a saxophonist if I could DI the drums...

Thanks to all involved in fixing the internet. Well done you!

is this thread mainly about OD pedals? I've tried loads of different dirt boxes, most of which I've moved on because they just didn't float my boat. There are some instances where only an effect will do - fretless and an octaver, Jazz bass and envelope filter - it's all about context. ..and loads of effects.

[quote name='wally8' timestamp='1337150622' post='1656116'] I need Sabbath, soundgarden, led zep. [/quote] As do we all! I've only played through the Orange, and I absolutely loved it. It's not hi-fi enough for me, but I can appreciate that it does vintage valve sound brilliantly. I've heard very mixed opinions of the PF stuff from Ampeg.

My valet does my page-turning. He also makes a spiffing Gin Fizz.

Jeff bought a fretless neck from me and the whole transaction was speedy, polite and painless. He's a newbie but a goodie - deal with confidence.

[quote name='BigRedX' timestamp='1337028013' post='1654397'] Not very "rock n roll" is it organising gig dates over a year in advance? How do we know they'll still be alive? [/quote] You hush yo' mout' Red X!

I've used MXR stuff with loads of different mains adapters. The 'only use JD/MXR PSUs' is just marketing guff. Anything that has a 2.1mm barrel, is negative centre and delivers 9v is fine, and to be honest, that's the vast majority of PSUs. Where people tend to get picky is whether it's regulated or switched-mode etc... due to mains hum etc... Don't worry too much about current (mA). Just so long as the PSU delivers the same amount or more than the amount required by your pedal then you'll be fine - excess current gets rejected and sent back to the mains without damaging the pedal whatsoever - the same is NOT true of voltage (the 9v bit). Less than 9v into the pedal will either sound crap or won't work, and more than 9v (e.g. a 12v supply) will release the 'magic smoke' from your pedal and it'll never work again due to blown capacitors / ICs etc...

dunno, great choice of tune though. I posted a solo bass arrangement of that tune on here a while ago - shall I dig it out for you?

Found these a while ago and have started exploring them again, they're demo versions of some great sounding plugins for Pro Tools 7.x and up [url="http://www.masseyplugins.com/#try"]http://www.masseyplugins.com/#try[/url] The demo versions won't save your settings as part of a session, but you can always make a note in the mix window. OR you could purchase the ones that you get the most use out of - the 3 band EQ and the limiter are great pieces of kit in particular.

Not strictly VSTs, as they're Pro Tools plugs, but the quality is great. http://www.masseyplugins.com/#try The demo versions won't save your settings as part of a session, but you can always make a note in the mix window.
