Ask for a photo of the actual bass with something in the photo (a piece of paper with MiltyG565 written on it). If it comes back with a genuine photo and it looks ok then it's your call

It's pretty awesome some serious work went into that!

Personally I can't get on with either Protools or Logic from me

Looks like it doesn't have a tone control actually... weird

I would say the existing group wouldn't be a bad idea. No reason why everyone else shouldn't have a listen . Could even use the picture of the month as the song "picture"

[quote name='yorick' timestamp='1346759482' post='1792709'] Looks like it's covered in lichen. [/quote] I think that's the bit I like...

I don't know what to think... part of me likes it, another part thinks "why?!"... I am honestly stuck!

[quote name='bobbass4k' timestamp='1346758121' post='1792680'] Sounds like a very cool idea , currently I'm thinking ambient guitar noodling with big nasty fuzzed out riff at the end, then again I'm always thinking that. Where do we stand on sampling? I like to use audio snippets from films and the like on my ambient stuff (because I'm a big pretentious hipster at heart). I'm not really up on the legality of it but as I recall it's fine as long as you credit it, but of course it's up to BC. [/quote] I would say try to keep sampling to a minimum personally, although realistically it's down to the voters to decide. There is a legal amount you are able to sample (I think 10 seconds) but I can't find it atm.

I thought it was pretty clever tbh

Damn you!

That's down to the voters Rob :-) I don't think anyone is expecting perfection in a month though :-)

[quote name='Pinball' timestamp='1346486688' post='1789717'] I find this guy an inspiration. I'm off to buy a cheap blonde bass and a tin of black spray paint to make one of these. [url="http://basschat.co.uk/topic/185120-fodera-emperor-deluxe-5/page__fromsearch__1"]http://basschat.co.u...__fromsearch__1[/url] [/quote] Why not take that bass and make it INTO a cheap blonde bass that would be far more impressive

[quote name='silddx' timestamp='1346679622' post='1791832'] Yeah, it's a bit chavivaldi that photo Does anyone actually write 'serene' music other than Richard Clayderman? Does each month's winner get to choose the theme for the next month, like in the photography competition? I hope so. Thanks Charic, if I can find the time, I'll do something. [/quote] Yep the next theme is picked by the winner aswell as the "inpiration" be it a photo / short video (remember not everyone will be able to sync audio/video so it has to be inspiration only) or "other" (although audio should probably be avoided).

I've not started mine yet but I'm starting of thinking along the lines of an epic/fantasy type score

I'll probably be using mostly reason as I've been a keyboard player for a lot longer than I've been a bass player. I have to admit I went for a more "serene" option as my own comfort zone is metal and didn't want to seem biased PS. The photo isn't mine, I knicked it from DeviantArt

Get over to build diaries

Head over to the recording section of basschat if you fancy trying your hand at a bit of harmless fun with the monthly composition competition [url="http://basschat.co.uk/topic/185441-september-composition-competition/page__pid__1791692#entry1791692"]Linky[/url]

Not a bad thought

The second photo looks computer generated

Relate...ish it's basically the idea of writing to a subject but that seemed like a much harder contraint when a picture has all the relevant information there. Have fun with it

If you can make it down to warwick then [url="http://www.bassdirect.co.uk/bass_guitar_specialists/TC_combo_250.html"]http://www.bassdirect.co.uk/bass_guitar_specialists/TC_combo_250.html[/url] They'll apparently back in stock in august (ring first) Ask to compare it to what they would consider a low cost full on "gigging" rig

Yay! (This is the third time I've managed to post this today ) You can have a yay turtle too!
