I read somewhere that the sax player on this hated hearing this song because he thought it was badly played and out of tune. This could probably be the sax version of Moondance.

Poor old Gerry only scores 10% on the bass mime-ometer. Didnt Mo Foster play on this track? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wgQWjQZydY0&feature=share

Michael (Michelle) Steele also sings the lead vocals on the second verse.

I quite fancy some comfortable hand feeling.

[quote name='Big_Stu' timestamp='1471104720' post='3110577'] Yeah, Mod forbid that an admin might falsely accuse a pro of displaying racism at a gig and despite in being only one man's word against another refuse to retract or clarify the matter.

[quote name='spencer.b' timestamp='1470604624' post='3107097'] I find it way easier if I play with a plectrum [/quote] Kenny Rogers plays quite a funky bassline with a pick while singing lead vocals on this. (Warning! Country & Western content!) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C1e9p6J89rQ

I used to practice while singing along to the tune while tapping the bass line rhythm with my fingers to keep time.

Looks like a R********r has melted!

I have the Indonesian SUB. A beautiful well made black and maple jobby. The pre amp is very hot and sends my Markbass into a digital distorted frenzy. I,m gonna get round to rectifying that.

I have had to play several gigs all fingerstyle with no picks. I now keep a few picks in my wallet for emergencies.

Those two paper templates reminded me of J Kay's hat.

Fascinating article here from sound on sound. [url="http://www.soundonsound.com/people/van-morrison-moondance"]http://www.soundonsound.com/people/van-morrison-moondance[/url]

I had to play it once. I used Paul Wolfe's guide. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PvR_sdtcGPY

I tend to use 'cheaper basses' when gigging in rowdy pubs. I no longer have to worry about getting beer thrown over an expensive boutique instrument. Both my Nate Mendel and 90's Squier bitsa are fitted with spb1 pickups, so I have the tone without the worry.

Then even do a bass version.

Well, It was good enough for The Eagles.

Always sitting down, although its a bit difficult on a leather recliner chair not to keep hitting the neck on the arms. I could never see myself standing up in the front room with a Fender Precision strapped on. I would feel such a pillock!

It may just be a 'place holder' while he puts a proper ad together.

Unless you go the whole hog and become a cover/tribute band of your favourite band and change the sex. I give you The Iron Maidens! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XebvpPtebaI

[quote name='KevB' timestamp='1469046978' post='3095424'] So what do they call bands in the US that predominantly cover other peoples music then Blue? [/quote] I think they are referred to as 'Bar Bands'

[quote name='machinehead' timestamp='1468967598' post='3094838'] It's simple and costs £80. Frank. [/quote] Ah, OK, cheers.
