[quote name='Joebass' timestamp='1331815640' post='1579299'] That's a handy chart. I don't like the spelling on it though. Should be spelt as triads on the E,A and D strings.(E,G#,B-A,C#E etc). The flats make it look more complex than it is. [/quote] Yeah, it's not one of mine - I found it on the internet and taxed it . It might even have come from a fellow BCer, can't remember now.

Yeah, back to the OP my stuff is something like this: Blade B15 and 'vaJazzle' fretless, Sansamp BDDI -> Ampeg SVP1500 -> Hartke Hydrive 410. There's a few effects in the middle, but they're in a perpetual state of ebb and flow. Generally there's a couple of distortions/fuzzes, octave, chorus, filter etc...

[/quote] Yes, Basschat definitely requires protective clothing. Also, am I wrong to really want one of the Oxford basses?

OK, I'll play. Here are my two - a Blade B15 with a Badass bridge and an East Retro 01 and a 'VaJazzle' bitsa (mighty mite neck and an East pre (again). Hmm, maybe I'm a bit too conservative in my taste in basses - time for a BC Rich or something next...

I've got a couple of Behringer Biros They're alright for now, until I can afford something better, and they seem to break every time I step on them.

I did ONE gig with as drum machine many, many moons ago. Thesound quality wasn't an issue, but the other musicians were hopeless at playing with a click. Part of that problem was probably due to inadequate stage monitoring - get that right and you should be ok. I'd definitely go with the programmed laptop beats - stuff like EZdrummer can sound very close to live drummers - except in time.

Brilliant news Clarky, glad to hear you're back in the saddle.

"PICKUP ONLY - NO COURIER - TOO MANY DAMAGED GUITARS - NOT EVEN INSURED HELPS" So am I bidding for just the pickup or the whole bass (assuming that I pass the audition)?

I really want this project to work, I thoroughly enjoyed the second edition - particularly the Jaco video, and am waiting with baited breath for the next instalment, but I have to say; the longer I wait, the less impressed I am.

Try this, should help you find out where the harmonics are, and what pitch they are: [attachment=102433:Harmonics.pdf] Cheers, Paul

good to see that most of his collection is 'in hand'.

Is this one a black label Japanese, or a blue label 'made in Taiwan' version?

Got this for the Snarling dogs 'wonder wah' - I would presume that the 'wah' circuit is based around the same idea, but with a couple of capacitor alterations to allow for more low end...

Pino, Pino, Pino. My '80's guilty pleasure is this though... [media]http://youtu.be/14IRDDnEPR4[/media]

Allow me to muddy the water somewhat - you could always do what some players have done (Donald 'Duck' Dunn etc) and play a Precision with a Jazz neck. Problem solved.

Musician's Union are perfect for this sort of thing.

Beautiful job there, well done that BC'er.

Let's try this the other way around. If my car were a bass then it would look a bit like this: [media]http://youtu.be/eKRIC0PGrtU[/media]

[quote name='lxxwj' timestamp='1331410806' post='1572630'] What about this 'un? I was thinking something like this: [/quote] ...surely that would be something without a roof?

perhaps all cats are left-handed

[quote name='Doddy' timestamp='1331432393' post='1572837'] I don't buy the whole 'lock with the bass drum' thing. Instead lock in with the whole kit. [/quote] +1; locking in with the bass drum (exclusively) is like locking in with the 4th fret of the 'A'string on the guitar...

Good to hear it went well, and thanks for keeping us posted. Isn't it one of the best things in the world?

Yowser! That really shouldn't work, but it's quite beautiful.

Blackpool Winter Gardens about ten years ago. Sound guys were really on the ball and we just went out and spanked it!
