White n' tort. I like Tort, tort, tort, tort. I think of the two the pearl looks better. Neither of them are tort though. Tort, tort, tort, tort etc...

at his uncle's?

My brother has a squier stratocaster from the '90s - it's an absolute beauty. He's in the process of refinishing it as we speak and sanded all of the laquer and paint off expecting to find a 3-piece body. It's solid bodied. Cheap as chips and outplays his Fender.

Hmm, rockband - I once had a student try to convince me that 2 hours a night on 'Guitar Hero' constituted practice. Cock.

I'd like to dispel the myth that you check a microphone by tapping it with your fingers. All kinds of wrong.

Robot bass player at the wrong gig.

I've just followed your workflow step by step and everything's in time over here. Could be a couple of things - some of the EZ drummer loops can sometimes be a leeeettle bit slow, you could use quantise to bring them in, you might not have 'snap to grid' (command and G) turned on, so your loops aren't starting at exactly the right point, or it could be a RAM issue - as EZ drummer does everything in real time. This is the first time I've opened Garage Band in a couple of years, so I'm certainly not an expert, but these are the initial things that spring to mind. There's also a tick box for 'follow tempo and pitch' that automatically takes care of time-stretching loops to the correct tempo, is that selected? [attachment=106269:Tempo and pitch.png]

[quote name='musophilr' timestamp='1335523898' post='1632521'] Whether GAS is affected, guided or moderated by such common-sense remains to be seen [/quote] I'll solve that for you right now - GAS and common sense are complete binary opposites and the human brain isn't able to contain both - I'm afraid it's one or the other. That is a scientific fact.

[quote name='BigRedX' timestamp='1335526985' post='1632604'] If the strap isn't included why is it in the photograph? IMO it's the nicest thing... [/quote] Nah, that's a beauty. That strap looks a bit 'Liberace' to me.

personal favourites include "does Humour belong in music?", "we're only in it for the money" and the "Yellow Shark" project. Zoot Allures would be higher up the list if production was a bit better...

I've got about 12 or 13 FZ albums (with various line-ups) and they are all great. I do favour some over others though - "Weasels ripped my flesh" isn't in my 'everyday' playlist...

...what is understood doesn't need to be discussed.

I think it's ebanol. It's a 'bits'/home made Jazz - I bought everything from BC and screwed it [s]up[/s] together in my man-shed. The neck is a Mighty Mite fender licensed and it's just beautiful - it's fast becoming my 'go to' bass.

The "recorder man' technique is [i]really[/i] close to the Glynn Johns technique...

Sussed - create a 'software instrument' track and I think by default it loads up a piano. Over on the RHS there's a couple of Tabs, [attachment=106241:Screen Shot 2012-04-27 at 10.23.56.png] Click the 'edit' one, [attachment=106242:Screen Shot 2012-04-27 at 10.24.00.png] and select EZdrummer from the bottom part of the drop down list, You should then be able to drag and drop MIDI loops from the 'groove' menu in EZ Drummer - [attachment=106243:Screen Shot 2012-04-27 at 10.25.23.png]. Loop away!

[quote name='stonecoldbass' timestamp='1335509637' post='1632257'] Aren't you using EZ Drummer as a plug-in in garageband? that way you can just use the midi grooves from ez drummer and loop them for as long as you want... [/quote] +1, EZdrummer is far more effective as a plugin than as a stand-alone app. I've got both on my mac, so I'll have a look at getting them running....

[quote name='johnDeereJack' timestamp='1335509968' post='1632260'] Yep, octave box (BOD in my case) into fuzz box (El Grande); that's definitely the way I do it as well. The M82 is the Bass Envelope Filter so no issues with running a fuzz into it. [/quote] Ditto, Fuzz tends to scoop the mids out, which could make it more difficult for the octave to track the notes properly. That's not the reason I run mine the way I do - I just prefer the sound of Octave then Fuzz.

[quote name='jonthebass' timestamp='1335478755' post='1632106'] Get your coat [/quote] had to pick it up off the floor - coat hanger snapped. Ok, OK. I'm [i]really[/i] going this time.

coat hanger.

like the bit at around 2'24" when your man starts looking out of the window thinking "I wonder what's for tea?". Some cool sounds out of those l'il boxes though.

here are my twins - [IMG]http://i1221.photobucket.com/albums/dd471/paul_510/P3160548.jpg[/IMG] Jazz all the way.

Russian muff and an Aguilar octamiser. Cor blimey guv'nor!

Thanks for posting these Scott, great resources.
