[quote name='Gust0o' timestamp='1342642768' post='1738646'] Thanks for the offer, Machines. I've PM'ed you a list of my enemies. I look forward to their demise [/quote] Sorry to disappoint Gust0o but... [list] [*]A robot may not injure a human being or, through inaction, allow a human being to come to harm.

[quote name='Machines' timestamp='1342641968' post='1738624'] Any issues drop me a PM, thanks. [/quote] Cool, so you're doing the agony aunt bit in the new blog then?

Ha! If finger players are more respected then pick players are cooler that's how respect and coolness work

I play with a pick nearly all of the time... Interestingly I find I can get a wider range of sounds from what I'm doing with a pick to fingers. I can play with fingers to a degree but I just don't enjoy it as much most of the time.

Head/Cab definitely for me. I like the option to upgrade components separately

Soundslive and DV247 are my general first ports of call

A lifesize tardis (to be turned into a vocal booth)/orchestral room

Looking great

One of the best 6ers I've ever played

[quote name='bluejay' timestamp='1342096138' post='1729465'] I know it's a long way off still, but I'm thinking of going to see Europe at the Shepherd's Bush Empire on 1st December. You have been warned And if anyone's up for it, give me a shout. All those I've spoken to who have seen the band play live say they are excellent. [/quote] You're going to fit the entirety of Europe within a Shepherd's Bush? Impressive

[quote name='redstriper' timestamp='1341946489' post='1726874'] I think blind tests where the reviewer doesn't know the make or value of the instrument would be a great idea, if you can find someone brave enough to do it - maybe someone who actually is blind. As soon as anyone sees the name on the headstock and the price tag, it colours their view and it would be very interesting to see what happens without that bias. [/quote] I like this idea but instead of just not letting them know what it is etc.. they should have to say how much they would be willing to pay for that bass before it being revealed!

If you want to put some of your interval knowledge to use look up Perfect Cadence and Imperfect Cadence These are the two interval changes I mentioned earlier and have a significant difference in how they leave you feeling. Your making remarkable progress mate

[quote name='sarah thomas' timestamp='1342012782' post='1728029'] Crikey Fumps, you've leapt right over my head! Brilliant. Your chart makes sense to me, coming at it from a different angle. Taking the key of C, C major is the scale of the first mode, also called the Ionian mode. Still in the key of C, D minor is the scale of the second mode, known as the Dorian mode. It is exactly the same as playing the C major scale, only you start and finish on D. (There are different minors, this one is known as the Dorian minor.) I'm not certain of the names of the other modes, except for the 5th mode, which is called the Mixolydian mode and in the key of C, starts on G, uses the notes of the C major scale, and ends on G. So in F major, the first chord uses the F major scale (F Ionian) starting on F and ending on F. The second chord (Dorian mode) uses the F major scale, starting on G and ending on G. The third chord uses the F major scale starting on A and ending on A. The fourth chord starts on Bb and ends on Bb flat. And so on. I hope that makes sense. I'm struggling now! It seems weird that starting and ending a scale on a different note can make it sound so different, but it does. Try it! [/quote] I think you're mixing up intervals and scales The chart is for intervals, not scales (although you can derive scales from the chart aswell).

You're in London as it is... can't be anyone much better qualified to have a look than the bass gallery I'd guess?

At first glances it looks like you got it right then

[quote name='flyfisher' timestamp='1342007559' post='1727851'] Yep, must be a real challenge for school teachers [/quote] Yeah a lot of teachers couldn't give me a reason to learn things and I could be a bit of a git at school. Resulted in me loving physics (could see applications everywhere) and hating biology, chemistry and maths.

I don't have enough knowledge to work it all out off the top of my head so I'll pass this one on Looks useful though!

[quote name='fumps' timestamp='1342006074' post='1727810'] Aaaaaaah now i understand the reasoning behind it.....now i just need to understand it ......which is the hard bit lol [/quote] I always need a reason before I want to learn anything too Looking forward to the next question, it's bringing back a bunch of stuff

Not the easiest shape to work with either! Tidy work

[quote name='thisnameistaken' timestamp='1342002678' post='1727687'] Which Muff is anybody's guess. [/quote]

Think if it this way... [u]Case A[/u] Your explaining an idea of a song to someone. You tell them the chord sequence and everything is great. But then the singer can't sing in that key so you need to change it (you can't change the singer because of he's your mate...), so you shift the song down a bit. You then need to tell everyone the new chord sequences for throughout the WHOLE SONG. [u]Case B[/u] Your explaining an idea of a song to someone. You tell them the intervals in the key and everyone knowing their theory (rare in most bands to be fair) everything is great. But then the singer can't sing in that key so you need to change it, so you shift the whole song down a bit. You then tell everyone what the new key is and they can work out the new chords throughout because they know the intervals.

Odd looking things, would've been nice to see some pics with a person against it though.

[quote name='neepheid' timestamp='1341997170' post='1727524'] Heh, I never knew the Victory Artist was featured in something so high profile [/quote] It was just a moment of I want that bass! I'm sure we all get it while watching movies... right?
